I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Or be thankful for small mercies.

Try to imagine the surprise of the first Russians who figured out the Secretary of State of the United States was conducting official business on a “private server.” Those two words do not convey the full transgressiveness of the behavior. Essentially the government is functioning out of the private home of a plenipotentiary. This is a person who not only believes she is above the law, she believes she is the law.

When it finally sinks in this is real, a sinking feeling sends Putin’s heart plummeting. This is not American government, this is hooliganism. This is government by the bosses, of the bosses, for the bosses. There is something familiar about Clintonism… rings such a bell… it is so like… Putinism!

I am reminded of the famous parady quote by Pogo cartoonist Walt Kelly.
"We have met the enemy and he is us."
Quote:
What they saw in Hillary’s come-and-get-it private server, what they saw in the DNC hacks, frightened Putin’s boys no end. Here was an American version of Putin, a power player who rigged elections and ignored the rules of engagement. Much too scary, too “stabilizing” for comfort.
And so the Russians finally dropped the Bomb. Not the Atom Bomb or the Hydrogen Bomb or the Neutron Bomb. They dropped a Truth Bomb and showed Americans we were about to put in our own Putin. You can’t trump the truth!

I'm thinking that someone should send Vlad a thank you note and a gift.
