Hillary wouldn’t do this without the permission of or even pressure from Bill. If Obama has something on somebody, it’s Bill Clinton. The question is what he could possibly have that would be bad enough to interrupt Bill’s fantastically lucrative speaking career.
The other possibility is that Obama has offered something to Bill Clinton if Obama gets reelected that Bill really wants. Having Hillary throw herself under the bus appears to them to be the only way to protect Obama, so she was sacrificed for the cause. But again, what might Bill want? Ambassador to the UN, perhaps? Something that would give him more international clout?
Obama is relying very heavily on Bill’s support and in fact in the last debate, he cited Clinton so often you would have thought he was Bill’s VP candidate. So Hillary’s pointless act had to have had Bill’s approval and may even have been his idea.
I say pointless because everybody knows that she doesn’t create any policy herself, but is a mouthpiece for Obama, who is a mouthpiece in turn for Jarrett and the other radicals. This is such a transparent set up that it makes Obama look even worse, and I think Bill may have miscalculated this time.
I respectfully disagree as Hillary wears the pants in that marriage.
She’s not really throwing herself under the bus. She’s blaming “the fog of war” for why they didn’t really know what happened.
