Tim Kaine, running mate of Democrat Hillary Clinton, said Sunday that Donald Trump’s recent encouragement of anti-U.S. hacking by Russian Federation echoed the Watergate break-in and cover-up.

Pelosi, on CBS’ “This Morning,” had been asked about an Federal Bureau of Investigation report released last week, in which Clinton repeatedly said she couldn’t recall key details and events related to classified information procedures. Clinton was arriving in OH and IL aboard a new campaign plane emblazoned with her slogan, “Stronger Together”.
In July, FBI director James Comey said it’s impossible to rule out that Clinton’s server could have been hacked.
“The cover-up is always worse than the crime, and voters have a right to know if these records were illegally destroyed and what role Clinton’s aides may have played”, Bossie concludes.
“She either knew or should’ve known that she was placing classified information in a way that exposed it to being hacked and being made available in the public domain, even to enemies of this country”, said Pence, the in governor.
In its summary of the interview with Clinton, the agency said she had received no direction on preserving or producing State Department records while transitioning out of her post.
“I think that the secretary of state deals with a large number of issues”, the California Democrat told the “CBS This Morning” program.
In other words, Hillary Clinton was so anxious to completely erase e-mails about her daughter’s wedding plans and her yoga lessons that she ordered her people to use software created to demolish every digital trace of e-mail.
She did make a mistake. She’s apologized for that. She repeatedly told FBI investigators that she “did not have guidance” on or was not trained in the proper use of sensitive e-mails.
The FBI’s release of its records related to the Clinton email investigation offered a welcome respite to the Trump campaign, giving people like vice presidential candidate Mike Pence, the current governor of IN, something other than his running mate’s flip-flops on immigration policy to talk about. Clinton had said none was classified at the time they were sent. Out of 30,000 emails, “we’re talking about few that may have been marked “confidential.’ “Classified” and “secret” and ‘highly sensitive” is where it becomes more problematic”. Donald Trump was not even aware that Putin had gone into Crimea as recently as two weeks ago. This included whether or not she had received basic instructions on the handling of classified materials.
“The last thing you want to be the lasting impression of America is that we will pay cash for hostages because all you are doing is encouraging more hostage taking”, Ryan said.
Clinton’s use of private email has dogged her campaign for more than a year, prompting accusations from Republicans, including rival Donald Trump, that she is unfit for the nation’s highest office and weighing on her public support.
