A couple of weeks ago, I devoted a column to reflecting on the signal oddity of this campaign season. "There is no reason to believe," I wrote, "that the supreme oddity that has characterized this primary season has run its course." I expected, and expect, more of it.
And so it goes. I could not have imagined, two weeks ago, that Bill Clinton would delay a flight to arrange a private meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
Odd, what?
Pause to consider what happened: the sitting attorney general of the United States meets privately with the spouse of the subject of an ongoing FBI criminal investigation.
Yes, you can file it under "Impropriety, Appearance of."
It was not supposed to have come to the public's attention at all. "The FBI there on the tarmac instructed everybody: no photos, no pictures, no cell phones," said Christopher Sign, the enterprising local news reporter in Arizona who broke the story.
Why did Bill Clinton request the meeting? If Loretta Lynch is to be believed, it was to talk about his grandchildren, not Hillary.
That's so nice.
There was, and continues to be, considerable fury in response to the meeting — more, oddly enough, than has been gingered up for Hillary's behavior over Benghazi or her email scandal. But maybe, like Al Capone's tax troubles, this will be the straw that breaks the candidate's back.
Maybe.
Loretta Lynch ought to recuse herself from the case altogether. Instead she has said that she will "accept" whatever recommendation the FBI makes with respect to the investigation into Hillary Clinton's home-brew email server.
Does that mean that Hillary will be brought to justice over her willful compromising of national security?
Again, maybe. But those chickens have not yet hatched and it would be foolish to try to count them.
The whole saga of the Clintons' corruption has gone into overdrive in the last week or so. There was the damning report of the Benghazi committee. There was her "voluntary" 3-hour interview with the FBI on Friday.
There was tarmac-gate. Everywhere the volume in the Clinton corruption saga seems suddenly to have been turned up. After a period of quiescence, suddenly there is ceaseless activity.
And "what might be towards that this sweaty haste doth make the night joint laborer with the day?"
Quite possibly, not much. Rush Limbaugh, a close and canny observer of the Clinton crime family, suspects that we're all being played, yet again, by the Clintons. A flurry of activity, a cathartic purging of punditry, and then . . . nothing.
Andrew McCarthy has speculated along similar lines. Noting how various tactics can be deployed to delay or derail criminal investigations, he has outlined how this latest flurry of news might well be a deliberate strategy to "create appearance of thorough investigation, but assure no-charges outcome."
Still, it is a dangerous game that the Clintons are playing -- dangerous for the country, of course, but also for themselves. There is every chance that, whether or not she is indicted, Hillary will be weakened by the cloud of corruption that follows her as the cloud of dirt follows Charlie Brown's Pigpen.
And, who knows, it might even happen that the weight of the evidence will be too much for Hillary's supporters to countenance. A lot rests on the shoulders of FBI director James Comey. Will he follow the investigation where the evidence leads? Or will he bow to political pressure? It is not too much to say that the future of the rule of law in this country depends on his decision. It's likely that we will know in a matter of weeks.
In other news, whether the Pope is Catholic has been called into serious doubt.
They may escape the legal system but the extralegal system might chop off their heads...... grand kids and all
True enough, brother...
And if he WAS a patriot, he would have acted by now.
J. Edgar is spinning in his grave.
HIllaryous Rotten Criminal & William Jefferson Criminal can both ESAD
They are the Greatest Crime Couple in the history of a fantastic republic.
GRRRRRREAT post right out of the gate on this thread, WyCoKsRepublican.
WORTH A BUMP and a THANK YOU.
Yessir, the truth is not always pleasant or what we want to hear. But the truth is always the truth. you can’t put old patches on new garments and you can’t put new wine in old wineskins. You take care, Brother. We are going to need each other more and more as time goes by. By We, I am referring to the DWAGS in THE POUND.
The Democrats are a shameless ongoing criminal enterprise whose constituents are low information tattooed women with partially shaved heads who don’t care about law and order. And they’re the more respectable of the RAT voters. Unbelievable.
Hope he doesn’t commit suicide.
hiillary is eager to be interviewed by the FBI like I’m eager for another DRE.
Up till now they have.
Not really a demonstrative person, but if a rally to protest the lack of justice regarding the Clinton crooks were to be held in my area - I would be there with bells on.
Probable indictment and the fear of the FBI leaking like a rotten row boat in a North Sea Storm. This was a Hail Mary pass by Clinton and he used everything he has in political connections, money, power and blackmail. I do not think it worked.
She not only violated numerous laws but she did it with such arrogance, intimidation, avarice and deceitfulness.
The woman is going down.
Can’t even imagine the horror of the breath that comes out of the Hildabeast’s when she gapes that maw!
More to the point libtards fail to realize that the law is what actually PROTECTS THEM. Absent rule of law, no protection. They are at OUR MERCY. No quarter is my vote.
I do hope you’re right clemble. We have a generation that knows nothing about these two and the “machine” and the DNC will make sure it stays that way. I want nothing more than to see her indicted and convicted and those 2 go away and we never have to look at them, listen to them or hear the Clinton name ever again!!
Right. They need to remember the adage:
“What goes around, comes around.”
Woof! Indeed.
Well, it’s pretty clear he’s NOT an American, nor a Patriot.
