Nearly a year has passed since President Donald Trumpand his 63 million votessent Hillary Clinton to the political graveyard.
Or so we thought. In recent weeks, the failed presidential candidate has made the rounds in the liberal media, making excuses for her loss and taking shots at the White House. Clinton told CNN host Anderson Cooper the presidents rhetoric is a cry from the white nationalist gutbecause, Trump? In an interview with NPRs Rachel Martin, she blamed sexism for her defeat, despite the fact married women overwhelmingly voted for President Trump. Clinton even found time to scapegoat former FBI Director James Comey for re-opening the investigation into her shady email practices as U.S. Secretary of State. In her words: It just stopped my momentum. I cant understand it.
What many Americans cant understand, however, is how Clinton faces no legal repercussions for her email fiasco. Our most powerful law enforcement institutions should be committed to enforcing the law, not protecting well-connected political figures.
Clintons press tour is not only a therapy session, but a distraction from a very real issue on the minds of American voters: The adequacy and fairness of the FBIs investigation and former Attorney General Loretta Lynchs refusal to prosecute her.
There certainly seemed to be cause for prosecution. Not only did Clinton maintain a private, non-secure email server used to transmit classified and other highly sensitive informationjeopardizing our national securitybut she wiped roughly 33,000 emails from the server after questions arose. The email wipe came just weeks after the traditionally pro-Clinton New York Times reported on her use of a private email for government business.
As the old saying goes: Where theres smoke, theres fire. But Clinton remains a free womanwith plenty of time to complain on cable newswhile the same news outlets now bury the email story altogether. Ask yourself: When was the last time you saw a follow-up story on the email scandal? Since November, the liberal media has almost exclusively transitioned to attacking President Trump personally and undermining his agendafrom Charlottesville to Hurricane Harvey and tax reform.
But the American people see Clintons email scandaland the lack of closureas a red flag. According to 2016 polling, millions of Americans are very concerned about her use of a private email server to conduct government business. The majority of them believe the FBI should have sought a criminal indictment against Clinton. Should the powerful get a pass, simply because of their power?
There is unfinished business here, which is why the Committee to Defend the President has filed a new request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to assess the FBI investigation and the DOJs decision not to prosecute Clinton. The Committee is seeking documents from the FBI and DOJ concerning the wiping of Clintons email server and her failure to produce documents required by subpoenas, any potential lies Clinton may have told investigators, and the questionable investigative and prosecutorial decision-making writ large. Our FOIA request will finally allow the public to judge for itself the adequacy and fairness of the investigation into Americas most infamous email scandal.
The FBI previously refused to release similar documents, claiming there is no public interest in their disclosure. But our research and numerous opinion polls suggest otherwisemillions of Americans demand accountability. They want to know that our law enforcement agencies rise above petty politics for the good of the country.
Hillary Clinton may be politically irrelevant, but she is not above the law.
It’s been said before, “Lock her up!”
Hillary Clinton is the Harvey Weinstein of politics.
She screwed so many people with the power she had.
I had heard that white women, and married women, voted for Trump.
In this era of identity politics, white women should have been a natural base of support for Hillary.
And married women overall, regardless of ethnicity, also supported Trump. I’m sure that tells us something.
I would like to see a woman president someday, just not this particular woman. If a woman of the stature of Margaret Thatcher ever arises in American politics, for example, I’m all in as a supporter.
It’s frustrating and unfair to hear, that if we didn’t support Hillary, somehow we are sexist and unwilling to support ANY woman for president.
Is the Pope communist?
Ask Huma, she was down there.
Ted Harvey - “Hillary Clinton may be politically irrelevant, but she is not above the law.”
LOLOLOL....right, Ted. Keep thinking that and Santa’s going to bring you your new BB gun this Christmas.
Thanks. I've lost my appetite for several days now as a result of your comment.
hahahahahaha
(not stalking, actually laughing)
I see what you did there........
I’m never going to get over the corruption of this government/nation for allowing her to escape prosecution.
Yes, actually, she is. Literally. I'd be grateful to see a single example that indicates she is subject to, or even recognizes, the rule of law.
Oy!! Kind of makes me throw up a little in my mouth.
Huma played loose with classified information. So did her husband. Why were they not prosecuted.
Ask Huma she would know
You beat me again gmta you sicko
Think of poor Huma, and what she must have endured in her mouth.
I guess you’re right; a bit of vomitous would be preferable to THAT.
:) Good one!!
