Clinton Ally Calls Pneumonia Controversy A “Self Inflicted F****** Nightmare”
Young Conservatives ^ | September 12, 2016 | Andrew Mark Miller

Posted on 09/13/2016 5:15:29 AM PDT by xzins

Hillary Clinton proved once again this weekend that she just can’t tell the truth.

Even about the simplest things.

She almost collapsed on the sidewalk in New York City and her team assured us she was just a little overheated.

Turns out, she was diagnosed with pneumonia two days before.

It also looks like her team didn’t take her to the emergency room in order to keep the medical details under wraps.

Even allies of the Clinton campaign are stunned at the level of secrecy about her health.

Here is the great Matt Vespa with more.

From Townhall:

Once again the Clinton provided another reason for voters to remain skeptical about her honesty and trustworthiness. For the Clinton camp, this aura of secrecy once again bit them in the butt. One ally called this episode a “self-inflicted f**king nightmare” (viaThe Hill):

A lack of transparency about her health has turned what might have been a non-issue into a hugely problematic storyline for Hillary Clinton that could plague the Democratic presidential nominee into November, say allies and confidants.One ally described the string of events that culminated in Clinton leaving a Sept. 11 memorial early as a “self-inflicted f—ing nightmare.”

Clinton’s campaign sought to deal with the fallout on Monday of damaging video that showed Clinton’s knees buckling and Secret Service agents helping her into a van. The campaign later revealed that the Democratic nominee was suffering from pneumonia.

[…]

A second ally said Clinton and her team probably wanted to withhold that she’d been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday so that conservatives who have been raising questions about her health wouldn’t have ammunition.

Yet in withholding the information and allowing Clinton to go forward with an event that she was not able to handle, they made the situation worse.

Not ideal…

But, that’s what you get.

She could have easily told the media on Friday that she had pneumonia and rested a few days.

Instead, she lied. And got caught.

What else is new?

There is absolutely no reason to believe the pneumonia story.

All the previous pictures and health issues tie into this one.

All the previous lies means this simply shouldn't be trusted either.

She is a congenital liar.

The pneumonia story is 'Ill-liar-y's attempt at a "modified limited hangout". In the face of having to say something to stave off total disaster, they rezaached for what they hoped would be the least damaging element that could be made public. Be assured that there is far worse being hidden behind this smokescreen.

Here’s the problem to the Pneumonia story.

A normal 60-year-old person who has real Pneumonia? They get three to four weeks of house-rest mandated and will still be weak for another two or three weeks after that. Drugs won’t matter that much.

For her to appear in ten days in perfect shape and going back out on the campaign trail? No....with real Pneumonia, you can’t do that.

Go and ask people who’ve had Pneumonia....it just doesn’t work that way.

That appearance 90 minutes later outside the apartment building...saying she felt great? Real people with Pneumonia wouldn’t be able to do that.

It’s a good story, but this time....it just won’t work. She’s got something else, and this was a plain old seizure.

Having had experience with pneumonia, as have millions of others, there is no way you can have it and not be laid low for days. She does not have pneumonia. Where did she find this lying doctor?

Hillary is willing to risk national security, including the deaths of American operatives overseas, to protect her secretive nature. She would rather risk hackers from multiple nations and organizations reading our most sensitive secrets than make any of her personal information accessible to real Americans. That was the start of her email scandal, and at least a major element in the Benghazi crisis.

Hillary is willing to risk her own life to protect her secretive nature. She would rather go to her daughter’s apartment in a medical emergency than go somewhere that there might be a record of the truth.

This woman has serious psychological problems, almost certainly including paranoia. Why would any American trust her, when she does not trust anyone, not even those “close personal” staffers she claims to have kept her problems secret from?

Either the doctor committed malpractice or is lying. Either way, not a good scenario.

Why not go to an emergency room? It was clearly a serious situation and only someone who thought that President Obama really hadn’t fixed our health care system would’ve not done that.

Call the local hospital and ask which Dr. is for sale. She can pay the good Dr. as a Secret Service member, i.e. it's tax money.

Most Americans have their price and the medical profession is no exception.

Dr. Feelgood shot her up with a speedball. The late John Belushi received similar medical “treatment” from time to time.

Like Joe Dan Gorman of Intellectual Froglegs says,

“Hillary is a congenital liar.

Lying and criminal activity aside, why would any one want to elect to the Presidency a person with such an affliction that disables them for undetermined periods on multiple occasions. When, for national security, seconds count a decision and response are only hours away.

Its NOT about her health.

Its about Hillary’s character and judgment. As usual, the MSM pretends to see the trees for the forest.

They miss the big picture.

Not so ironically an excellent description of every White House POTUS since Reagan. Which means it's an accurate description of what used to be America. Michael Savage says we're about to lose America. I don't know what rock he's under, but we lost "America" decades ago.
