Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas Regardless of Clintons excuses the only believable reason for the private server in her basement was to keep her emails out of the public eye by willfully avoiding Freedom of Information laws. No President no Secretary of State no public official at any level is above the law. She chose to ignore it and must face the consequences said the editorial board of Wisconsins largest newspaper the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel excoriating Hillary Clintons abysmal record on open government advising voters to think long and hard about it before voting in the states primary this week.
Public officials keep secrets because they have something to hide something they dont want the people they are supposed to be serving to know anything about the Milwaukee Journal Sentinels editorial board wrote in a Wednesday editorial.
Concerns raised by a panoply of Clinton scandals over the last two decades may disqualify her from public office the paper said recounting Clintons opacity on issues ranging from unreleased tax returns in 1992 to the most recent controversy surrounding her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
The issue immediately at hand and under investigation by the FBI is Clintons use of a private email server for State Department communications the editorial board said.
Clinton may have violated national security laws by making top-secret documents vulnerable to hackers and available to people without proper security clearance.
The papers position may serve as an unwelcome albeit unsurprising foretelling for the Clinton campaign of how future primaries could end.Clinton has a long track record of public service but an equally long record of obfuscation secrecy and working in the shadows to boost her power and further her ambition the Sentinel concluded. We encourage voters to think long and hard about that record when choosing the next president.
