Umgqatswa onguMongameli we-Democratic onyuliweyo uHillary Clinton.(Ifoto: Jessica Kourkounis / Getty Izithombe) Umtyunjwa weDemokhrasi ozikhetheleyo uHillary Clinton akazukubekwa tyala ngendima yakhe ekusetyenzisweni kakubi kolwazi oluhlelweyo, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ujongeka njenge dolt engafanelekanga ngoku.
Umlawuli we-FBI uJames Comey ubambe inkomfa noonondaba ngoLwesibini osindise uClinton kwityala, kodwa wayekude nokukhusela owayengunobhala welizwe. Phakathi kwe ukhalimela ezininzi Ukusuka ku-Comey, owona monakalo, ndiyakholelwa, kukuba uClinton ebengenanjongo yokuphatha kakubi ulwazi oluhleliweyo.
Nangona singakhange sibufumane ubungqina obucacileyo bokuba uNobhala uClinton okanye oogxa bakhe bazimisele ukophula imithetho elawula ukuphathwa kolwazi oluhleliweyo, kukho ubungqina bokuba babengenankathalo kakhulu ekuphatheni kwabo ulwazi olunobuzaza, oluhle kakhulu, utshilo u-Comey.
Kwakhona wathi yena kunye neqela lakhe (okanye kunoko, nawuphi na umntu onengqiqo) kufuneka azi ukuba i-imeyile yakhe engaxutywanga ayifanele ukuba isetyenziselwe ulwazi oluhleliweyo.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, njengoko ugxa wam u-Austin Bay etshilo, oku kusilela ekugwebeni (ndibonisa uthando kangangoko apha) bekufanele ukuba bamfumene enetyala uClinton. Kodwa isigqibo sika-Comey sokungabeki tyala, esingavumelaniyo naso, sikwenze kwacaca gca ukuba uClinton akafaneleki kwaye akufuneki avunyelwe ukuphatha izinto ezihleliweyo.
Nanku umntu obhinqileyo, kunye nabantu ababemngqongile, ababengenabuchule kwaye bengakhathali kakhulu, njengoko uCowy ebeka, ukuba abantu abathe bathumela i-imeyile kubo iiakhawunti zabo zihlaselwe ngabadlali abanobutshaba. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba kwakungekho bungqina ngqo bokuba ii-imeyile zikaClinton zigqatshiwe, u-Comey wathi kunokwenzeka ukuba abadlali abanobutshaba bafumane ukufikelela kwiakhawunti yakhe ye-imeyile kuba wasebenzisa i-imeyile yakhe ngelixa wayeseMelika, kubandakanya ukuthumela nokufumana ii-imeyile ezinxulumene nomsebenzi. kummandla weentshaba ezintsonkothileyo.
Lo mfazi ngokucacileyo akayazi into ayenzayo. Usebenzise iseva yabucala ye-imeyile ukulungiselela ukuba kufuneka aqhubeke nokuhlaziya kunye nokugcina xa urhulumente ebenokumenzela oko, kwaye usebenzise izixhobo ezininzi kwimimandla enobutshaba ngaphandle kokuqwalaselwa kukhuseleko olo lwazi.
Oko kufanele ukuba kunyukele kwinqanaba lokungakhathali. Kwaye ngenene, ngokuqinisekileyo wayezimisele ukusebenzisa iseva ye-imeyile engakhuselekanga kakhulu (u-Comey wathi khange ikhuseleke njenge-Gmail). Nangona kunjalo ngandlela ithile yayingelo tyala?
USandy Berger noGeneral David Petraeus bayalila. Ngokuqinisekileyo, ngokuqinisekileyo, Gen. Petraeus ngokwazi ulwazi oluchongiweyo olungalunganga, kwaye uClinton ulumke kakubi. Ngaba ngokwenene kungcono? Kungangumahluko phantsi komthetho (kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyayithanda indlela yokuzikhusela ngesiquphe yasekhohlo mens rea ), Kodwa ukungakhathali kukungakhathali, kwaye okukaClinton kwakukuhle kakhulu.
Kodwa, ewe, nguClinton ngoko ke imigaqo ayisebenzi.
U-Comey naye washiya umnyango uvulekile ukuba uClinton ohlwaywe nokuba ayilolwaphulo mthetho.
Ukucaca, oku akuthethi ukuba kwiimeko ezifanayo, umntu othathe inxaxheba kulo msebenzi akazukujongana neziphumo, utshilo u-Comey. Ngokuchasene noko, abo bantu bahlala bephantsi kokhuseleko okanye isohlwayo solawulo. Kodwa ayisiyiyo le nto siyenzayo ngoku.
Siyazi ukuba uClinton ngokwakhe ngekhe ajongane nezohlwayo ngenxa yokuba, kwakhona, nguClinton. Kuya kufuneka, nangona kunjalo, kwaye oko kuya kumthintela ekubeni ngumongameli kuba umntu angabamba njani elona ofisi liphezulu lomhlaba kwaye hayi unemvume yokhuseleko?
Hayi, kunokwenzeka ukuba abangaphantsi kwakhe bajongane neziphumo zokulandela ukhokelo kunye nemiyalelo yakhe. NguClinton odala, nokuba yena nomyeni wakhe abajongani neziphumo zeempazamo zabo, kodwa abo babangqongileyo baya kuthi. Nokuba siphi na isohlwayo esisetyenzisiweyo kubasebenzi beSebe likaRhulumente siza kwenzeka ngoku kuba uClinton engekho-kwaye akazukuba phantsi kwabo.
Isithethi seSebe likaRhulumente uJohn Kirby uxelele oonondaba ngoLwesithathu ukuba amagosa angaphambili abebandakanyeka kwihlazo le-imeyile likaClinton banokungavunyelwa ukuvunywa kwezokhuseleko kwikamva. Ezi zohlwayo zinokuchaphazela abancedisi bakaClinton abasondeleyo uHuma Abedin, uCheryl Mills, uPhilippe Reines noJake Sullivan (nto leyo ibinokwenza kube nzima kubo). Kwakungekho nto ibonisa ukuba uClinton ngokwakhe wayeza kujongana nezohlwayo.
Kwakhona, uClinton uyatyibilika ngaphandle kwempikiswano, kodwa ubuncinci ngeli xesha, wenza njalo ukuze angacacisi. Ke ngoku akapheleli nje ekungathembekini kwaye urhwaphilizo, ukwazile ukungazithembi.
