What Is Hillary Clinton's Email Severs Dominoes?

Improved Essays
In the cartoon “Email Severs Dominoes” by Jeff Poterba, the author is claiming that as Hillary’s Clinton email servers’ situation is falling apart, she is trying her best to keep up the story she has told the public. The cartoon shows email servers lined up falling like dominoes and Hillary Clinton standing at the end trying to keep the servers from falling. Koterba argues that Clinton is not stating the truth by ignoring voters concerns about what were in the emails she sent/received.
While serving as the Sectary of State of New York in 2015,” Hillary Clinton used a personal email, with a private email server stationed at her home, to send and receive work-related emails” (Voorhees). It was later discovered she was sending and receiving classified information to this personal email, which led to the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation)

In “Email Server Dominoes” Poterba shows Hillary Clinton trying to cover up her private servers almost like if she doesn’t want anyone looking at them. That’s exactly what Clinton did after the nation discovered she was using a personal email for work/personal use. The only major question as cisterns and voters we as a society had was if Hillary Clinton was sending and receiving classifies information on her personal email account. If she wasn’t why would she need to delete nearly 30,000 emails before handing the entire server to the FBI? I am really interested in how Koterba aligned the reason of servers falling with the start of the controversy. The uproar of media articles started the downfall of this topic causing the domino effect, hence the reason for the falling servers. The reason for Clinton making sure the servers don’t fall is her trying to cover up what is inside the servers. Only making her guiltier by not proving her innocence immediately like any other sane person would. At the end of the day, I do agree with Poterba argument he states in this

    Clinton's presidency was a seemingly long hard road. During his second term as President, He was impeached due to charges of lying under oath to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. However, the real underlying reason for the impeachment was Clinton’s denial of the Lewinsky Affair. The public opinion of the Lewinsky Affair allowed the Republican party to create a political strategy to use against Clinton. “Contending that Clinton had committed perjury, Republican leaders made the affair the centerpiece of their quest to defeat Democrats in the 1998 congressional elections” (Jansson, 2012,p.398).…

    This was the woman that Bill Clinton had an affair with during his presidency. This woman had recorded their phone sex calls, recall files that were on the desk in his office, recall important phone conversations he was having, and breaking his commitment with the first lady. This woman could have easily been a spy for the Russians, and she would have succeeded with her skills. Bill Clinton had risked our national security for some fun time with a woman when he should be working. Not only did Bill lie to his wife but he also lied to the public before finally admitting that he had sexual relations with her.…

    As stated by Wendy McElroy, “Having shrewdly used his [President Clinton] personal life to further his political career, Clinton cannot object when others question whether the carefully scripted images are accurate.” (Source B). Clinton leaked staged instances to the public which are false and should be framed for lying. Being a public figure and lying to the public is unjust on himself and society. He shouldn’t go unpunished if he has lied to the public.…

    Although as President, Clinton was a role model and leader, his main job was to run a country, and he was successfully doing that. Clinton’s actions were unpresidential, but as long as he was doing his job, his personal affairs shouldn’t be the reason he had to leave office. Lying under oath is bad, but it was not about something very important and was just a bid to cover up his affair. Moshe was impeached by God for hitting the rock and refusing to listen to Hashem.

    There has always been a shroud of fog around the personal matters of the Clinton’s, but underneath that shroud there is a hidden evil that is incomparable to any other American politician. The Clinton’s have been involved in many conspicuous affairs including White Water and the Ives/Henry case. They also have been involved in around 100 deaths of people close to them or people who worked for them. They have used witness intimidation and other scare tactics to harass witnesses into not testifying, and if they don’t agree, they are normally dead within days. Because of the amount of Clinton body guards that have been killed, the Ives Henry case, Whitewater, and the amount of the Clinton’s fellow party members that have died around them, it is…

    Ferrara stated in his article “Benghazi: Obama’s Actions Amount To A Shameful Dereliction Of Duty”, “When President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton stepped into the Rose Garden the Morning of September 12, they likely knew (Correction: they surely knew) the attack on our Benghazi consulate the day before was organized by terrorists” (Ferrara 5). This shows that President Obama and Secretary Clinton both knew that there was possibly going to be an attack. “They knew because they were privy to a flurry of emails among administration officials discussing the attack in real time” (Ferrara 5).This also states that they had emailed a lot of people saying what was happening in the attack and not doing anything to help, thus killing U.S. ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and the four others to be killed and drug through the streets…

    In the early 1970’s there was a break in at the Democratic National Committee Headquarters, which came to be known as the Watergate break-ins. Upon Investigation It was found that top white house officials, the CIA, FBI and even the president at the time Richard Nixon was involved in trying to cover it up. This led to Richard Nixon resigning which in my opinion was to save face from the impeachment that was coming his way. In the upcoming paragraphs I will be summarizing and examining two different articles on the Watergate crisis, where both authors have totally different views on the events in which happened. I will also discuss how this has changed America’s views on politics as well as how things may be different had this unfolded in this time with social media being the way it is.…
