The Clintons As Farce
City Journal ^ | October 30, 2016 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 10/30/2016 4:18:16 PM PDT by OddLane

Hillary Clinton was resting, running out the clock, sitting on a supposed large lead, and hoping that the election was sooner than later. Now after the latest Weiner disclosures, she is crisscrossing the country, terrified of collapsing polls, and wishing that she had three more weeks rather than just one. With the Clintons, farce is the desert to scandal: the profiteering Clinton Foundation as a humanitarian treasure; Hillary the former corporate attorney as child and little-guy crusader; Bill Clinton, both sexual predator and feminist hero.

Hillary didn’t just delete e-mails under congressional subpoena; she insisted that some 33,000 e-mails were mostly about yoga and Chelsea’s wedding—sort of like saying that one can beat 31 trillion-to-one odds of turning $1,000 into a $100,000 cattle-futures profit in no time by merely reading the Wall Street Journal. Until Friday, FBI director James Comey, in Hillary’s eyes, was a sober and judicious public servant who had rightly seen insufficient cause for her indictment. Now she believes that he is a rank Republican politico seeking to rob her of her presidency...

With the Magic Pen Guy right behind her on alert at all times.

Considering that the more Hillary Clinton is seen by the public, the more she loses support, this can work.

A nice article, short and laconic— uncharacteristic for this articulate and sometimes verbose scholar

Now this question re-emerges......

Does anyone else remember the email from Huma, in Pakistan, concerning a request for someone to move a TOP SECRET DOCUMENT IN HER CAR from the passenger area to the trunk.....?

Was Huma’s car being used as a ‘Mail drop’ for routing intell to an Islamic terrorist organization? Was Huma’s car the drop for the return of the Classified Document after it had been reviewed by a clandestine contact?

The Muslim Brotherhood is considered the central coordinating organization for Islamic fundamentalist expansionism & terrorist operations....Huma would be a considered a Jew-marrying, lesbian/disgraced enemy of her family if she were not a well-placed operative...

Verbose? I don’t know.

I’ve been a big fan of Davis for a long time.

His book on the Peloponnesian War “A War Like No Other” is about the best introduction to the subject I could imagine. I re-read it maybe every other year.

A perfect example of Muruna would include a Muslim woman marrying a Jewish man if it afforded her stealth and cover while gaining access to power centers. Consider Huma Abedin. With a so called religion that is intolerable to everything, this has to be true

I was referring to his online articles. Never read any of his books.

VDH is speculating that Weiner will roll over to save his own skin, but it’s a moot point now that the FBI has the subpoena they wanted. They don’t need Weiner’s consent to read his non-sex related emails now.

I also have read A War Like No Other. I highly recommend it to others.

And given the subject of that book, I grinned the use of the word "laconic" by someone to describe this column. The term comes from a description of ancient Spartans.

This is desperation time for the Bill and Hill. Without their presumed power, the rats will sell them out post haste. They probably have the goods on a number of them, so this could get really ugly.

That's the key here.

Who are the Clintons without their access to power?

Just a rancidly corrupt duo of con-men.

It's remarkable how nakedly she's promoting her own corruption.

Could you imagine what she would be like if the American people invest her with the highest office in the land?
