Team Clinton’s Pathetic Excuses
WSJ ^ | Aug. 31, 2016 | Karl Rove

Posted on 09/01/2016 7:16:50 AM PDT by Brilliant

The emergence of nearly 15,000 more deleted emails and evidence of shady dealings by her family’s foundation have put Hillary Clinton back on the defensive...

Team Clinton is offering excuses... But the unconvincing explanations being offered create more problems than they solve...and bring Mrs. Clinton’s credibility to...total collapse.

CNN’s Dana Bash asked Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, if giving special treatment to Clinton Foundation donors was “the kind of back-scratching that has Americans just turned off.” Mr. Mook demurred: “There was no quid pro quo or anything like that.” But there was...

Mook claimed that “Secretary Clinton wasn’t the first person to do this.” But she was. No other secretary of state had a private server, refused to use the department’s secure system, and then destroyed thousands of emails...

Mook also suggested...that the rules governing such things were “very murky.” But they weren’t. The rules were clear: No State Department official should use personal email for official business...

Mook dismissed the continuing controversy as “another example of a right-wing group just trying to keep this...issue alive.” But distinctly not-conservative outlets in the mainstream press have provided extensive coverage...

This despite the warning of then-Sen. Richard Lugar (R., Ind.) at Mrs. Clinton’s 2009 confirmation hearing: “The Clinton Foundation exists as a temptation for any foreign entity or government that believes it could curry favor through a donation...”

John Kerry...confidently predicted that Mrs. Clinton had “articulated a sensitivity to this which is going to have to be judged by the practice.” Now the results are in: ...the ABC/Washington Post poll found Mrs. Clinton’s unfavorable rating had risen to 59%...

For good reason, too: If she didn’t keep her word to the Senate about avoiding conflicts of interest, why should Americans accept what she says now about doing so in the future?

“The dog ate my emails” — I wonder when they start using that one.

The WSJ is just upset their candidate cannot dissociate from her Foundation and its implications.

Interesting in view of polls that show Hillary with 39-41% of the vote.

Even fat bastard Karl Rove is right - once in a blue moon. That’s enough to bury her.

She can’t win a national election with 59% of the public disliking her.

Its really that simple and all the rest is background static.

A combination of Hitler and Stalin.

She’s just lovin’ that Trump went to Mexico...so she gets a reprieve from her email fiasco. They have her good. 15 emails on Benghazi?? IIRC, she said dealing with Benghazi was not her job.

I see this as evidence that she's even losing support among Democrats.

Ironically, the thing that's probably most destructive to her campaign right now is the long list of globalist @ssholes from the Bush administration who have come out and supported her. George W. Bush is about as popular as a child molester even among Republicans right now, so you can be sure that a lot of Democrats are scratching their heads and wondering about what is behind this turn of events.

As the saying goes - "Was she lying then or is she lying now?"

Or we could use a corrected dim saying and make it - "It's both nature of the evidence and the seriousness of the charge."

I think her supporters know she is a list. Being dems, they are used to liars. They don’t care. And I keep hearing she has the electoral voted. What we need is an indictment.

Unfortunately, far too many ‘conservative’ talk show hosts continue to peddle their anti-Trump disinformation at the behest of the monied globalist elites....
