Epic greed, power, and pride: Where’s the bottom? With Bill and Hillary, there’s no telling.
What was the Clinton telos? The end point, the aim of all their lying, cheating, criminality, dishonor, and degradation?
Given the latest Weiner scandals coming on top of the latest WikiLeaks scandals, we wonder, what did the Clintons really wish to end up as — and why? Are they Goethe’s Faust or tortured souls crushed by the weight of their money bags in Dante’s Fourth Circle of Hell?
For a few criminals, remorse comes with old age; but for the Clintons, near-70 was to be the capstone, the last chance to trump all their prior shenanigans. They were artists of amorality, and the election of 2016 was to be their magnum opus.
Collate the FBI reopened investigation, WikiLeaks Podesta trove, revelations about the Clinton Foundation, the e-mail–server scandal, the DNC disclosures, and the various off-the-cuff campaign remarks of Bill and Hillary Clinton, and one then ponders what was the point of the Clinton shakedowns, the loss of reputation, the crude lawbreaking, as they neared their seventh decade. To paraphrase Barack Obama, in his progressive sermonizing on making enough money, did the two ever think they had enough money, enough honors, enough power already?
The Hillary/Bill fortune — generated by pay-for-play influence peddling on the proposition that Bill would return to the White House under Hillary’s aegis and reward friends while punishing enemies — hit a reported $150 million some time ago, a fortune built not on farming, mining, insurance, finance, high-tech, or manufacturing, but on skimming off money. The Clintons are simply grifters whose insider access to government gave them the power to make rich people richer.
Long gone was the Scrooge-like need to write off used

Rush is all over this Article
They will take the foundation money and run. They will be out of here so fast no one will know where they went, off to some country with no extradition agreement.
Put yourself in their position. They are not stupid.
Interesting.
Well, we will know the next chapter soon. If Hillary loses, then the Clintons are probably finished politically.
If she wins, get ready for another Clinton presidency full of investigations, allegations of wrongdoing, dissembling, defining the word is, Etc.
Remember the Lewinsky scandal and impeachment was simply the biggest Clintionian scandal during their White House years.
Just based on the way the Clintons do things, a Hillary presidency will be full of scandals.
VDH is good. He was and is a real Classical scholar, proponent of a theory as to the rise of the Greek Polis.
"Sexual predations, the demonization of women, graft, and unequal protection under the law are also of no consequence to the inbred, conflicted, and morally challenged media – who will always check in with the Clinton team, like errant dogs who scratch the backdoor of their master after a periodic runaway."
