Hilary Clinton
According to the recent leaks from WikiLeaks, Clinton had ordered diplomats to spy on other diplomats. This basically boils down to her ordering them to do things that enter into the world of spying and, not simply collecting information.
It is doubtful that she will step down. Obama and his minions will make this story more about the leak, rather than any of the actual leaks. Plus, democrats are known for digging their heels in and insisting they do nothing wrong, rather than stepping down, i.g. Blagojevich, Bill Clinton, ect. (I could be here all day).
How embarrassing are the WikiLeaks leaks? A secret cable from April 2009 that went out under Clinton's name instructed State Department officials to collect the "biometric data," including "fingerprints, facial images, DNA, and iris scans," of African leaders. Another secret cable directed American diplomats posted around the world, including the United Nations, to obtain passwords, personal encryption keys, credit card numbers, frequent flyer account numbers, and other data connected to diplomats. As the Guardian puts it, the cables "reveal how the US uses its embassies as part of a global espionage network."
There is no way that the new WikiLeaks leaks don't leave Hillary Clinton holding the smoking gun. The time for her departure may come next week or next month, but sooner or later, the weakened and humiliated secretary of state will have to pay.
