Matt Lauer Slammed By Mainstream Press After Vet Tells Hillary "I Would Have Been Imprisoned" If I Did What You Did

During last night's "Commander in Chief" forum in which both presidential candidates laid out their views about the future of the US military, as well as the country's defense and security, with both committing numerous gaffes, none appears to have gotten as much criticism as event moderator Matt Lauer. As the NYT reports this morning, "charged with overseeing a live prime-time forum with Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton, as a dry run of sorts for the coming presidential debates, Lauer found himself besieged on Wednesday evening by critics of all political stripes, who accused the anchor of unfairness, sloppiness and even sexism in his handling of the event."

The reason for the anger, originating mostly on the left, is that having been granted 30 minutes with each candidate, Lauer devoted about a third of his time with Mrs. Clinton to questions about her use of a private email server, then seemed to rush through subsequent queries about weighty topics like domestic terror attacks.

The highlight of the event, and what set the stage from the beginning, was a question from Navy veteran Lt. John Lester who set the adversarial mood with a question about Hilllary reckless handling of classified material.

As a Naval flight officer I held the top secret sensitive compartmentalized information clearance. And that provided me access with materials and information highly sensitive to our war fighting capabilities. Had I communicated this information not following the prescribed protocols I would have been prosecuted and imprisoned. Secretary Clinton, how can you expect those such as myself who are and were trusted with America’s most sensitive information to have any confidence in your leadership as president when you clearly corrupted our national security.

She cannot rise above the email/server scandal, not with more and more damning information coming out every week.

The lies have become so transparent that even blind Hillary believers can no longer believe. When she starts by saying, "Let me clarify...", you know that she feels in a corner and a mass of falsehoods with a tone of indignation are about to ensue.

As she flops on the hook, her lies will overtake her, and the light will go on in the heads of even the most fervent supporters, telling them that subterfuge and pathological lying are not good qualities for leadership.

I don't see how anyone who's ever had a security clearance can justify voting for Hilary Clinton.
