Former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino slams FBI, Clinton in epic Twitter tirade
Former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino in a series of tweets this week slammed FBI Director James Comey for letting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton off the hook despite the fact she transmitted state secrets – classified and above – via a private, unsecured email server.
Director Comey Tuesday announced the FBI would not recommend to Attorney General Loretta Lynch that the Department of Justice pursue criminal charges against the former Obama-administration official but admitted Ms. Clinton was “extremely careless” in the way she handled national secrets.

When I was privileged to be granted SCI/top secret security clearance, I took it seriously. What an honor to be trusted with such info

I remember when we went to Russia, we had to leave our Blackberries on AF1. We were nervous – how would we communicate? But we did it.

Because the USSS asked us to do so – to protect the nation’s information. This wasn’t about our emails – but the nation’s information

Because when you work for the federal government and at the WH in particular, you work for THE PEOPLE. Your sense of self is erased.

You don’t have a right to the information. Every thing you do should be for the nation’s wellbeing. So we left our devices on the plane.

I never thought of being at the WH as being there just for the Republicans. The party existed, it was important, but I was there for the USA

For years we’ve had to say Comey sure stood up to the President when he was bothered by the Terrorist Surveillance Program. Fine. So braver.

But then what of this decision yesterday? Is that brave? Would the same deference & pretzel twisting of the law been done for a Republican?

Every single day when I walked into the White House I said a prayer of gratitude for the privilege to work on behalf of the nation.
