Hillary Clinton: To err is human, to empathize is superhuman; The Washington Post, September 25, 2024

 Hillary Rodham Clinton, The Washington Post; Hillary Clinton: To err is human, to empathize is superhuman

"Back in the 1990s, from the time she was 15 until she was 20, Shannon was active in the violent white supremacy movement. She attended Ku Klux Klan rallies, tagged public property with swastikas, assaulted people of color, tear-gassed an LGBTQ nightclub and underwent paramilitary training to prepare for the race war her neo-Nazi leaders promised was imminent. Her comrades were white supremacists like the fanatics who years later carried torches through Charlottesville chanting “Jews will not replace us!” and like many of the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Then, remarkably, she managed to get herself out and change her life. Now, Shannon helps people escape violent extremism. She’s seen how the dangerous, hateful movement has metastasized. The rise of social media allowed white power leaders to more easily reach and radicalize thousands of recruits."

Hillary Clinton Used Personal Email at State Dept., Possibly Breaking Rules; New York Times, 3/2/15

Michael S. Schmidt, New York Times; Hillary Clinton Used Personal Email at State Dept., Possibly Breaking Rules:
"Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials’ correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record.
Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act."
