Today\’s quote comes to us from Bob Woodward, a reporter who knows a little something about shady politicians who try to hide things.
Here is what Mr. Woodward has to say about Hillary Clinton and her email problem:
“So, you\’ve got a massive amount of data in a way, reminds me of the Nixon tapes: Thousands of hours of secretly recorded conversations that Nixon thought were exclusively his.
“It\’s extraordinary. Again, it\’s the volume: 60,000 emails and Hillary Clinton has said 30,000 of them, half, were personal and they were deleted. Who decided that? What\’s on those emails? I would love to have all 60,000, read them. It would be a character study about her personal life and also what she did as secretary of state. And step back for a moment. The big question about Hillary Clinton is, who is she? Is she this secretive hidden person or is she this valiant public servant? Look at those 60,000 emails and you\’re going to get some answers.”
“This has to go on a long long time; the answers are probably not going to be pretty.”
Yes, Bob, this reminds me more and more of Nixon too. And, yes, the answers are probably not going to be pretty.
I award Bob Woodward Quote Of The Day honors, for making that connection, which, I have a feeling, is going to be quoted by Clinton detractors from now throughout her campaign – however long it might wind up being (maybe a lot shorter than they initially expected).
