Bill Clinton on Hillary's 2016 Loss: "It Was Ludicrous To The Extent To Which People Went To Essentially Fabricate A Smear" [chutzpah/sociopath alert]
Real Clear Politics ^ | 12/09/2024 | Ian Schwartz

Former President Bill Clinton relitigated the e-mail scandal of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (snip) with MSNBC host Joe Scarborough.

SCARBOROUGH: I want to read from something that you wrote in the book about the 2016 election. This whole thing is hard for me to write. I couldn't sleep for two years after the election. I was so angry. I wasn't fit to be around. I apologize to all those who endured my outbursts, rage, which lasted for years, and bothered or bored people who thought it was pointless to rehash things that couldn't be changed. In this chapter, I've tried to calmly write about the darkest election possible in the United States because it's important to understand what happened.

(snip)

SCARBOROUGH: In his July press conference where he [James Comey] came out, said she wasn't indicted, but for the first time decided he was going to pontificate about what he thought.

CLINTON: Yes, and he said she was careless. And I told the story in the book about how, when President Obama called to tell me that bin Laden had been killed in this successful raid, he said, we did it. And I said, did what? He said, we got bin Laden, Hillary didn't tell you? And I laughed. I said, now, Mr. President, you told your people not to tell anybody, didn't you? He said, yes, but, I said, she didn't tell anybody. I mean, Hillary's a sort of down the line person, you know?

So, it was ludicrous to the extent to which people went to essentially fabricate a smear on her -- on the -- and I think they did it because they thought they had to mention something bad about her if they said something bad about Trump.

The lies just keep coming.
2024 was supposedly a honest election, but the left is still crying about 2016. When will be rid of these evil people?

Bill never had a problem lying. His nasty wife should have gone to prison but Comey protected her corrupt ass. America dodged a bullet in 2016 and 2024. Unfortunately we weren't able to dodge the disaster in 2020. Hillary would have been 10X worse than Joe Biden. President Trump did the world a huge favor by beating that criminal in a pantsuit in 2016. She lacks character, morals and integrity. She is the worst kind of person to put in power.

I follow politics pretty closely, and I have no idea what this alleged "smear" actually was. She maintained a personal server expressly to evade mandatory federal laws regarding the preservation of official communications, and at least some of the data on that server was classified. That's inarguably true.

So...what's the "smear"? Or is that just a word the Clintons use to describe true facts that hurt them politically?

Hillary was smarter than Joe, which is what made her so dangerous. But in truth, I don't think she would have gone as far left on the tranny stuff.

Would have otherwise wrecked the country, though. And likely been an absolute dictator for Covid.

These sick demons tried to eliminate 2A with their fast and furious scheme as a pretext to ban guns.

These sick demons tried to eliminate 1A by eliminating all voices and outlets of political opponents - her campaign’s major theme was using feigned outrage at people like Alex Jones to shut down all opposing voices.

These sick demons eliminated 4A by spying on Trump, illegally.

And this doesn’t even touch on the evil that BJ committed in the 90s and earlier.

That hoe is such a loser that she lost a rigged election.

Yes, that’s what they call truth that hurts them politically, a smear. Anyone who’s ever had a security clearance would know what she did was a huge no no and grounds for hefty fines and jail time. She can’t claim ignorance, as she would’ve been briefed on how to handle classified and how not to. She did it on purpose and, well, I thought no one was above the law...

Stop whining, Bill. She’s not likable.

And people had Obama-fatigue in 2016. We still do.

I don’t think she purposely took classified stuff - there wasn’t enough of it to suggest that, at least to me. But I do think she was reckless about taking it - which imposes criminal liability anyway.

The real story to me is that she was attempting to deliberately conceal official communications so they wouldn’t be subject to FOIA requests. The only reason that isn’t criminal is I don’t think anyone had imagined someone might actually set up an entire server to do that.

Aw, poor Bent Willy, nobody fabricated a smear about Hitlary, they didn’t have to the truth about her was more than enough. By the way, let’s talk about that Clinton ‘charity’ and Haiti…..or would that be a smear too?

Not to mention he sold America’s 50 year strategic advantage over China by authorizing the distribution of MIRV technology to the Chicoms for a $200k donation from the head of LoralCorp.
