Hillary Clinton Wrath Aimed At Government Watchdog Another election cycle, another conspiracy to keep Hillary Clintons scandals in the news. At least thats the message coming from the Ready for Hillary camp. Back during her consorts presidency, the conspiracy was put forth by the vast right wing. This time, according to Bloomberg, The Hill and other left-leaning publications, the guilty party is the Inspector Generals (IG) office at the State Department. At this time, the IG at State is a man by the name of Steve Linick. Linick has been on the job since 2013, AFTER Hillary Clinton left the cabinet department. During her tenure there was no IG, no oversight on what she was up to as Secretary. Since last spring, Mr. Linick and his department have been working with Congress and the IG of the Intelligence Community to get through the piles of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for information regarding Mrs. Clintons improper email arrangement, members of her staff, and various incidents involving State Department personnel while she was Secretary. Given the string of bad news for Hillary Clinton coming from the IGs office, she reverted to form and now is spreading the word that the IG at the State Department is trying to stymie her political ambitions. After the newspaper the Hill published an anonymous accusation this week that Linicks office had an anti-Clinton bias and that Linick was excessively deferential to DiSanto, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta added that the anonymous sources accusations raised serious questions about the independence of this office. The DiSanto named in this quote is Emilia DiSanto who worked with Linick at the Federal Finance Housing Agency. When Linick took the State Department post, he brought DiSanto on board. DiSanto also has worked in the office of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), one of the people who is pushing for the release of all of Mrs. Clintons emails while she was Secretary of State. (Remember, Clinton had no IG oversight at the time.) Before this week, Linick, actually, had absolutely no taint of bias or partiality in Washington. What seems to be the goal of this finding of a new face for the vast right wing conspiracy is trying to get DiSanto off the IG team at State. After the hints were dropped and published by The Hill, a Clinton lackey picked up the baton. At issue seems to be a series of leaks damaging to Hillary Clinton that they claim were traced to Sen. Grassleys office, and published in the Washington Times. The Clinton camp has accused DiSanto of being the source, a charge both Grassleys office and the Washington Times deny. Legally, the people in the IG offices cannot speak on the record about ongoing investigations. Therefore, defending themselves in the media is not possible. In addition, the State Departments IG office is spending massive resources defending themselves from the inside against the Clinton campaigns allegations all while trying to satisfy countless FOIA requests about not just Clinton, but other Secretaries of State. It turns out she is not the only former occupant of that office to have used personal email to transmit classified information. Washington is a lot like a small town in many ways. Everyone knows everyone else. People in the cabinet departments do have connections on Capitol Hill. Hillary Clinton and her crew need to be careful with making accusations and insinuating improper behavior when many people in powerful places know better. Just because blaming the bogeyman worked before doesnt mean it will work again.
