LOOK: Here’s Hillary Clinton Reading News That Mike Pence Used a Personal Email Account to Conduct State Business
‘The Irony Is Palpable’
As the Republican nominee for vice president Mike Pence labeled Hillary Clinton “the most dishonest candidate for president of the United States since Richard Nixon.” Why? She “operated in such a way to keep her e-mails and particularly her interactions while Secretary of State with the Clinton Foundation out of the public reach, out of public accountability.”
While that is a false charge, it is, we now know, exactly what Mike Pence did. He used, of all things, a personal AOL email account while conducting official state business as governor of Indiana. Contrary to Indiana law, he may not have submitted those emails to state servers until he was readying to leave office after being elected vice president, making them unavailable for FOIA requests. And, he got hacked. Hiillary Clinton did not.
So, imagine how Hillary Clinton must have felt Friday when she was reading the news about Vice President Pence on an airplane, as this photo posted to Twitter by Vice’s Pere Noel shows:

“The irony is palpable.” Indeed.
