Email Deletion--Snatch Defeat From Jaws of Victory

Who do Americans detest the most

North to South, coast to coast?

Politicians, lawyers and drug dealers would top most Americans’ list

None of them are paragons of virtue, deception is a behavior so hard to resist

Hillary is both a politician and a lawyer well versed in the art of crafted words to parse

Listen to her explanations of the email server and her credibility is completely sparse

After retreating into her bunker for days after the private server was revealed

More and more Americans felt she was trying to conceal

A matter of convenience as a justification for the server does not fly

Add to that the deletion of 30,000 emails and no wonder the ensuing hue and cry

Talk about the complete loss by her of common sense

Turning over back in March her server with all the “private” emails would have been a perfect defense

This is a fact of life--reality in human politics is probably at least ninety percent perception

Don’t respond, dodge the question, or respond in complicated legalese and voters tune out and think only lies and deception

Her case is not helped by lame jokes or dredging up the right wing conspiracy charge

Especially since over months the scope of the scandal continued to enlarge

If you deleted 30,000 on the grounds they were “personal” a skeptic might ask why?

If you wiped clean to make it difficult for anyone to recover, a normal person might think she lied

The Clintons have been so nontransparent it would be difficult speculate save this guess

A vulnerability in her coronation that she would need to suppress

She must have known prior to early April’s announcement of the Clinton Cast release

Any emails on her server linking donations to the Foundation to favor requests to grease

Or emails linking the exorbitant speech fees Bill would take in

To favor requests would all have to be buried in the delete and empty the trash bin

Hillary is right we need a female president with a “C”

But she is a woman named Carly free of deception shame
