I have wrestled with what to think about Charlie Copeland. Some people that I like and respect say he is a decent guy in a tough spot, just trying to do his best. He comes from a decent philanthropic family, and his own father was instrumental in establishing Planned Parenthood in Delaware. And then I get this is my mailbox, and it reveals the truth about what kind of person Charlie Copeland really is.
DEGOP Calls On Carney/Blunt-Rochester To Withdraw For Clinton
Newark, DE – The Chairman of the Delaware Republican Party Charlie Copeland today called on Democrats John Carney and Lisa Blunt-Rochester to withdraw their endorsements of Hillary Clinton, citing continuing controversy over the use of her personal email server. It was revealed Friday that thousands of new emails, some potentially classified, were discovered on a computer owned by longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin and not previously disclosed to federal investigators“This situation highlights one indisputable fact: Hillary Clinton jeopardized classified information in her reckless attempt to hide pay-to-play corruption at her State Department. This alone should be disqualifying for anyone seeking the presidency, and it is time for John Carney and Lisa Blunt-Rochester to stand up and do the right thing by withdrawing their endorsements,” said Copeland.
On Friday, FBI Director James Comey informed Congress that the agency had uncovered a treasure trove of emails related to the Clinton investigation on a computer owned by Abedin and used by her husband, disgraced former Democratic Congressman Anthony Wiener. Clinton had previously told FBI investigators that she had turned over all emails related to the investigation. Weiner is currently under federal investigation for “sexting” a 15 year-old girl.
“Hillary Clinton has shown an alarming disregard for federal law and the security of our nation,” Copeland said. “Hillary Clinton established a private email server in her basement, hid its installation, intentionally used it to circumvent the protocols and protections built into the federal government’s communication system, and then used it to discuss some of our country’s most sensitive information. When federal investigators caught wind of the breach, Hillary repeatedly lied to cover-up her misdeeds. Had this been any other government official, it is no exaggeration to say he or she would be facing criminal charges and possible jail time.
“Had a Republican official been guilty of Hillary’s indefensible actions, John Carney and Lisa Blunt-Rochester would, no doubt, be calling for action. Their continued to silence will only serve to confirm that they place their partisan political relationships ahead of the welfare of the citizens they want to represent and the laws of our state and nation.”
