Interesting tidings in the media the last 24 hours that suggest a smoldering volcano of Democratic discontent and near panic. The Democratic establishment has cleared the field for Hillary, and she's having trouble putting away Bernie Sanders! If she can’t handle Bernie Sanders, how will she match up with a Republican nominee?
Colbert King, a reliable liberal columnist at the Washington Post, sends out the message:
Clinton email scandal: Why it might be time for Democrats to draft Joe Biden
The Hillary Clinton email issue is developing into a real whodunit, complete with Clintonesque legal semantics. "I never sent or received any material marked classified," she said with respect to the discovery of classified information on her private, unclassified email server. That surface denial nearly rivals Bill Clinton’s classic: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
But this is no laughing matter. . .
After reviewing how problematic Hillary's account of the matter is, King closes with this ...

EXHIBIT ONE---Hillary/s State Dept Aide Shared Classified Information With Clinton Foundation, Email Shows; Cheryl Mills sent information marked confidential to Clinton Foundation in 2012 / BY Alana Goodman September 28, 2015
A key aide of Hillary Clinton emailed classified information about the government in Congo to a staffer at the Clinton Foundation in 2012, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Cheryl Mills, Clinton/s chief of staff at the State Department, sent the email to the Clinton Foundation’s foreign policy director, Amitabh Desai, on July 12, 2012.
The message, which was originally obtained by the group Citizens United through a public records request, is partially redacted because it includes foreign government information that has been classified Confidential by the State Department......but was not marked classified by the State Department until this past summer, intelligence sources tell the Free Beacon that it would have been classified at the time Mills sent it because foreign government information is considered classified from inception.
The message could add to concerns from congressional and FBI investigators about whether former Secretary Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information while at the State Department.
About half of the forwarded message was redacted due to its classified nature before the State Department released it to Citizens United last month. Although it is not clear what the redacted section includes, the State Department said in a court motion filed last week that it concerns both foreign government information and critical aspects of U.S. foreign relations, including U.S. foreign activities carried out by officials of the U.S. Government.
The State Department added that the disclosure of this information has the potential to damage and inject friction into our bilateral relationship with African countries whose cooperation is important to U.S. national security.
The Clinton Foundation and the State Department did not respond to request for comment about the email, or say whether Desai—a non-government employee who has worked at the foundation since 2007—would have been authorized to view “Confidential†information.

EXHIBIT TWO Cheryl was also feathering her own nest----Mills currently runs the BlackIvy Group, a consulting firm that focuses on developing dirt-poor Sub-Saharan Africa.

EXHIBIT THREE--- Sub Sahara Muslim immigrants are streaming into the US at an unprecedented rate, all subsidized by struggling taxpayers. What do Obama, Cheryl Mills, and Hillary know about this?
============================================
EXHIBIT FOUR--- The State Dept email, which discussed the relationship between the governments in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, was originally drafted by Johnnie Carson, the State Department/s assistant secretary for African affairs, who sent it to Mills State Department email address.
Cheryl Mills later forwarded the full message to the foundation/s operative along with talking points for ex-President Clinton shortly before Bill Clinton was scheduled to visit the Congo region.
The head of a Canadian company with an enormous interest in the Congo's mining and oil sector, Lukas Lundin of Lundin Mining, announced a $100 million donation to the Clinton Foundation on the heels of Hillary/'s first presidential campaign.
After the Congolese government attempted to regain control of its own mines, the State Department intervened on behalf of Lundin Mining and another mining company, Freeport Mines, also a Clinton foundation donor.
A round of talks in 2010, thought to be aided by the Clinton State Department, concluded with the pair of well-connected companies retaining their stakes in the mines and with the Congolese government being shut out of its own resources. (hat tip Schweizer book---Clinton Cash)
MORAL OF THE STORY When Hillary smells money, she will flout the law to suck-up to Clnton Foundation donors....particularly w/ financial stakes in the lucrative oil/mineral mining industry.
After Bernie’s big win on Tuesday the powers that be will go to Uncle Joe and tell him to get in the race.
Well, with her minions in Iowa having to pull off the most improbably, near-statistically impossible feat of multiple precinct ties between thousands of people in multiple districts and then winning 6 tosses in a row, and the best they can cheat is a pitiful fractional win?
She’s in real trouble. New Hampshire is going to show it conclusively.
I think everyone knows that Hillary CANNOT drop out. She owes the Clinton Foundation donors big, and even she cannot stand up to them. They would eliminate her and her family.
It’s probably the case that if she runs and makes a genuine effort but loses, well, that may be different. The Dems will have to remove her. She can’t, won’t just leave.
The State Dept email, ...... was originally drafted by Johnnie Carson.......I knew a comedian was mixed up in the State Department. Explains a lot.
Even if he isn’t on the ballot ? If Hillary had a health crisis, which isn’t completely implausible, there may be some rules that would allow Biden to come in after the convention but that is far fetched at this point.
Bill Clinton’s classic: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
Hillary!, “I did not have secret relations with those
e-mails”.
Her only hope is to fake a stroke or another concussion.
The Dems know Sanders is a disaster, and Hillary is washed up. She is the past, a sordid past, and they need someone to represent the future.
And the bench is about empty.
Couldn’t happen to a better group of Communists.
and then surprising everyone, Michelle announces ...
What role will the Republican Party play in the election stealing? None. They will spend all their efforts undermining and destroying Conservatives. And that is only for starters.
What tactics will the Democrats employ? In the Electoral Vote rich States and Democrat run cities, the electronic voting machines will be programmed to give every other Republican vote and all Democrat votes to the Democrats. There will be squads and busloads of voters with different i.d.s traveling from precinct to precinct all day long as long as the polls are open voting for the Democrat. Then, they are the tried and true absentee ballots and illegals voting.
Biden us a danger: he has Zero’s full support, knows the Progressive Polka so that he talks “moderate” (wink, wink) but is as crazy as Bernie. And having been protected for 8 years his record up is distant and buried.
She’s going to have a Petraeus moment when the she’s shown all of the details the FBI has amassed about the Clintons’ family corruption. That includes the tax evasion too. The average person on the street may be confused about the complexity of her email violations.
Tax evasion is very different. That will be well understood. If people think she’s a crook now, wait until that gets out. FWIW, the IRS doesn’t report to Lynch.
Madeline Albright said in a speech for Hillary the other day that women who didn’t vote for Hillary would go to hell.
Imagine. This atheist communist believes there is a hell.
Petraeus wasn’t indicted. He’s down and out. Hillary won’t be indicted either. That doesn’t mean she’ll be strutting her stuff much longer.
IMO, Biden would be the most formidable Dem candidate. He’s a dope, but he’s an amiable dope. He has been, and will be, protected by the MSM and Obama. Remember how he handled Paul Ryan at the VP debate...everyone had thought that Ryan would mop the floor with Biden, but it didn’t happen.
The whole Kinnock thing is ancient history and won’t get traction now. I fully expect Hillary to be out and Biden to step in, and the GOP nominee had better be ready.
Unless she departs this World, which would be my wet dream, she will.
Ah.. The irony - Evidence in both cases - Wiped on a cloth.
If she does it will she’ll be wearing dark glasses and holding a coat over her head.
Remember, they had to skip 3.1% of precincts even to win that way.
