The Hillary Clinton email scandal is now heading into its third week. Hillary has obviously been up to no good throughout this scandal. She admittedly had 30,000 emails deleted without anyone having read them. When you consider that President Nixon was chased from office for 18 minutes of missing tape, you would think that deleting 30,000 emails might at least be viewed with extreme suspicion. Especially so when the former Secretary of State and presumed Presidential candidate won’t let anyone near her email server. The question all along is who leaked the email scandal to the press. This is something Hillary has been able to keep under wraps for six years, why did it suddenly become public now?
Last week Valerie Jarrett appeared on Bloomberg claiming the White House has strict policies about emails remaining on the government’s system. She then droned on about transparency within the administration, clearly insinuating that Hillary alone was responsible for a lack of transparency at the State Department. Jarrett’s interview was quite a good show considering that she and the White House are likely responsible for leaking the email scandal to the press. No one should be surprised, it’s no secret that the Clintons and Obamas hate each other. The Obama people view the Clintons as middle of the road progressives who will play ball with Republicans.It’s always fun to watch the progressives turn on each other, it’s especially fun when the two biggest names in the Democrat Party are at war with each other. It’s entirely possible that the stories being floated about Jarrett over the weekend are straight from the Clinton camp. If so, it’s another example of these two families being at war with each other.
The question is what is the Obama end game? Obviously we know the Clinton end game, Hillary gets elected President. However what’s the Obama end game here? He can’t possible want to destroy Hillary so that a Republican can get elected President. The only Republicans Obama could stomach either have no shot (Christie) or are part of a family that Obama hates as much as the Clinton family (Bush). Obama has thrown Hillary under the bus before, he’s likely done it again this month. What doesn’t make sense is the lack of a backup plan in the Democrat Party in the event of a Hillary implosion. One year from now the nomination will be wrapped up, who does Obama think is going to beat Hillary?
The obvious progressive choices are Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren. Biden is a wildcard, someone who is wildly inappropriate in public with women. Like with Bill Clinton in the 90’s, the feminists put up with it because Biden advances policies they agree with. Warren is a progressive star that the far left has been begging to run for the better part of two years. Maybe Obama can talk her into running. There is one name out there that no one is talking about who may appeal more to the Obama camp than Warren: New Jersey Senator Cory Booker. Booker is a leftist who can appeal to the same inner city black constituency that helped Obama win twice. The Obama team may view Booker as someone who can recreate the Obama magic of 2008, in which case they likely believe that someone like Warren won’t appeal to inner city voters.
The White House must have an alternative to Hillary. If they don’t, they’re all but ensuring a Republican victory in 2016. Based on what we’ve seen from Obama the last six years, there’s no way they’re willing to cede control to the hated Republicans without having a viable Democrat alternative. By destroying Hillary, the White House is creating chaos in the Democrat Party. Progressives always have an end game when they create chaos, their theory for a century has been that the better organized side always comes out victorious when chaos strikes. Obama has someone in mind for 2016, someone who is probably already putting together a campaign team and will be ready to go at a moments notice. Make no mistake though, Obama doesn’t sent Jarrett out to destroy someone like Hillary unless he’s planned his end game. He’s too trained in the art of community organizing, so is Jarrett, to not have his end game mapped out. The question is what will the end game be and when will it become public.
Fixed it.
Jug ears third term? Wookie?
mooch aka the wookie...hasnt been making all those proclamations...and pronouncing the faux edicts for her health. They have been the advance buildup for her run for The Big Prize..
Yes sadly.If America could vote for Mr. Obie,....they’ll vote for Mrs Obie.
wookie 2016
oh my
The antics of the left are absolutely amazing and completely obnoxious at the same time.
Their venomous machinations are the stuff that leads to mental hospitals for the opposition and camps where their enemies can be concentrated.
IMHO
If ValJar wants to destroy Hillary, then maybe we should stop her. Hillary might actually be the conservative’s best bet for a Democrat candidate. Hang that stinky albatross around their necks…do we want to go after an O’Malley, or Hillary?
It is with some sweet irony that we now see Herr Hillary! and her email debacle compared with Richard Nixon’s “18 Minutes”.
Hillary! who served as a Democrat sapper on the Watergate Investigation was fired for lies and unethical behavior by Jerry Zeiffman, a lifelong Democrat, who supervised her tenure there. Folks, this is the political equivalent of ‘gagging a maggot.’ At one point this rabid political firebrand contended that Richard Nixon should be denied WH counsel throughout the investigation.
One only hopes that her wish comes true - for her.
If the Clintons were so powerful, an upstart, 2 year senator, never would have over taken Hillary for the presidency. She was the supposed anointed one, at the outset of the '08 campaign.
No, the Clintons WERE USED for an agenda.
Hillary foolishly believed she was integral and vital to the plan and a major orchestrator.
Bill was happy to serve his part and then be put out to pasture to stud.
But I don't really think that Hillary needs White House secret intrigue and betrayal to destroy her run to the presidency.
Because Hillary seems to be doing a great job of self-destruction on her own.
For instance, does any sane person believe for one minute Hillary's arrogant, defensive explanation concerning her emails on her server?
Poor Hillary. She is either toast or close to it.
The fat lady is getting ready to sing at this end to the Clinton soap opera as Hillary's run to the presidency quietly comes to an end.
Nixon was forced from office not because of the missing 18 minutes, but because he was viewed as an A-hole by his enemies. He and the HildeBeast have that commonality.
If they are successful, we will no longer be able to say that they did not do anything good for the nation.
Having said that this will not stop the Clinton's revenge and they have people in every part of the Obama administration.
Out of a whole bunch of stupid moves, this will probably be Obama's dumbest. I think the veil will now be lifted on how criminal Obama's administration is if the Clinton's believe Obama has had a hand in this.
McNeil is missing a key point: there are a LOT of Obama term appointees (like the Chairman of the Fed, the FCC Commissioner majority, etc) who will remain in place long after he’s gone.
So, let’s assume that the conspiracy theories are accurate and Obama and his Chicago thugocrats really are trying to pull a Cloward-Piven. Is it better to drop a deliberately engineered, unrecoverabe mess into the lap of a Democrat President, or a Republican one?
How does conventional wisdom history recall the name “Herbert Hoover” again?
To usurp a dictators plan, you have to think like 0ne.
If Michelle runs against Hillary, we are gonna need a lot more popcorn!
Mrs Mooch gots to be a one term Senator first ....
California? New York?
The ‘Zeifman-fired-Hillary’ story is a false naritive of what occurred. But you are correct in that Zeifman had issues with her and even considered reporting her to the Bar.
Before you go believe what the supposed fair Snopes.com site says, or that Tampa factcheck.something says, try reading the alternatives.
Here’s one.
