Hillary Clinton Offers Lesson In Irony
[dropcap size=small]E[/dropcap]arlier this week, it was discovered that Hillary Clinton had been using a personal email account at the State Department to conduct government business. This may have violated federal requirements that official communications be kept on record. Following Hillary Clinton’s lesson in regards to the Obama administration’s vow of transparency, she has now decided to teach us the meaning of irony.
On March 23rd, Hillary Clinton will be attending the Toner Prize celebration. The Toner Prize is one of journalism’s most illustrious awards for political reporting in the U.S. Reporters will be allowed to attend the celebration; Mrs. Clinton, the keynote speaker for the event, however won’t be taking any questions.
According to Business Insider:
Business Insider reached out to Clinton’s office to confirm the report. A Clinton spokesman referred the question back to the event’s organizers.
Clinton, the Democratic front-runner for president in 2016, is embroiled in a controversy surrounding her exclusive use of personal email addresses while she served as secretary of state. According to The New York Times, this may have violated federal guidelines and could have left state secrets vulnerable on an unsecure server. Both Clinton’s email issue and her alleged avoidance of the press have fueled criticism she is insufficiently transparent.
Last night Mrs. Clinton tweeted that she wants the public to see her emails:
I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.

Let’s just hope none of Hillary’s emails mysteriously go missing.
