Rand Paul on Hillary Clinton email probe, they are ‘not above the law’
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul appeared on The Kelly File, stated that Hillary Clinton’s excuse that she was using a personal email account for “convenience” shouldn’t trump national security and an independent investigation should move ahead: I don’t think the Clintons should be above the law.”
Paul accused the former Secretary of State of acting out of arrogance in thinking that, “some of these laws apply to lower people and not to me, Hillary Clinton….nobody should be above the law in our land.”
The former of Secretary of State appeared at a press conference yesterday during which she repeated claims that none of the roughly 30,000 emails that were “deleted” from her personal email account were related to official business.
“I don’t see how she can do this email back and forth with the President, how can she email from Libya about worldwide events and expect that those conversations – none of them – were classified,” said Paul as he called for an independent investigation into the scandal.
Paul cited photographs of Hillary Clinton using her phone during trips to Libya, images which don’t correlate with Rep. Trey Gowdy’s finding that there were “gaps of months, and months and months” in email logs that Hillary had handed over from that time period.
“Can we trust Hillary Clinton to produce all of her email when we couldn’t trust her to obey the law that she had to use a State Department email? The only way we get to the truth is through an independent investigation and I do believe that public opinion can provoke that,” said the Senator, adding that the American public “should not tolerate” Clinton’s secrecy.
