History is not standing still. It did not stop with the Clinton era, which is now finally over. At least history did not stop for America. America is moving along and at a rapid pace. For the Clintonistas and their millennial acolytes, however, I guess America did stop. In fact, it froze, locked into an eternal 1968, forever reliving all the demonstrations, the sit-ins and the sobbing, heaving hubbub of yesteryear. Yet America goes on riding the currents of history, and those currents are moving rapidly.
As for the Clintons themselves, they have been stopped dead in their tracks. There was Hillary’s meltdown on the evening of Nov. 8. She reverted to the form that all of us who have covered her for years have been reporting. She screamed, shouted some very unladylike epithets, threw some objects at her servitors’ heads, and availed herself to more adult beverages than was prudent. All the old scandals, improprieties and breaches of the law had finally caught up with her. She was captured by her past and is not likely to escape that past. Now she is scrambling to get a presidential pardon before Congress and various prosecutors move in. If President Obama does not grant her a pardon, history will truly stand still for the Clintons and their sidekicks for years.
Yet, as I say, for the rest of us history proceeds at a swift clip. One of history’s new players is Stephen K. Bannon. He has been a naval officer, a principal at Goldman Sachs, a media entrepreneur and the brains behind Breitbart news. Now he is senior counselor to President-elect Donald Trump. He also represents one of history’s latest editions, a new outreach for conservatism. Mr. Bannon was a Reagan Democrat, now he is a Trump Republican.

Ping
Started reading the article and the biting humor made me look to see who the author was, someone possibly writing as well as Emmett Tyrrell ?
Thx for the post .... Great way to start a Saturday ! ...... Regime change !
Goldman Sachs? I thought we were wary of their alumni.
Gannon has a lot more to his resume’ than GS
I refer to them as the folks who went to Woodstock and never came back.
“...All the old scandals, improprieties and breaches of the law had finally caught up with her....”
Not entirely, they haven’t... Yet.
“Justice delayed is justice denied”, after all... isn’t that one of “their” favorite sayings?
Too many bodies to ignore.
Oh noze! Let's hope Trump's concern trolls don't hear about this - they're so tired of winning that they have taken up whining even before he takes the oath - despite the fact that he has already accomplished a lot just by being the President Elect.
The article is correct. Nobody’s given any evidence bannon is racist or anti-Semitic. No evidence whatsoever. Rather, it appears from his publication at least that he’s favorably disposed to blacks, Latinos, Christians, and Jews. I, for one, support mr Trump selecting him. I will reverse my support immediately if anyone provided us with credible evidence of the charges against him. Right now, they appear to be just a smear attack. How sad it is that some of the D people ( especially) think that we will fall for such dishonest tactics
In the case of a presidential pardon, does the president have to spell out what he’s “pardoning?”
Bannon, Pence, Crowley and Ingraham. All have conservative talk show experience to help them understand the mood of the electorate outside the “bubble”.
Isn’t it great? Billy Jeff won 43% of the vote and became president. Trump won about the same and became president. We don’t like you hillary
Tyrell is one of a kind
We are. Have to vet them well. Bannon has earned his spot
Nah it’s the rent a mob crowd
Some of us went to Woodstock and hated it.....muddy, rainy, drug fueled mess with no ability to hear any music
The probes, which cover allegations that Clinton lied to Congress about her email practices in October 2015 and that government records were destroyed, are ongoing and not dependent on the election's outcome, two senior Republican senators said.
"I still don't have the information I need," Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told Fox News. Johnson said the work of his committee, with jurisdiction over government records and the mishandling of classified information, would be careful not to disrupt President-elect Donald Trump’s priorities.

No. He can give a general pardon....just like ford did
I hope so. That would be enlightening. What do they “think” she is guilty of?
Woodstock - there was mud wrestling and good music at least!
No, this was more akin to being stuck in an elevator between floors with persons you don’t like, never agree with, and just an all round distaste being around them. No escape through an open door....for what seems like an eternity.
Try to avoid pavlovian responses to dog whistle commands... it makes you look like someone’s training a mutt.
