I could have cared the less what Assange did or did not do. He already did more than I expected when he dumped the DNC e-mails. He did more than it would have normally taken to end any candidate’s campaign.
BUT. . . .it has often been said that Hillary could be caught on film shooting puppies and the school children holding them and it would not make one bit of difference. I think that is pretty accurate at this point. She has the corrupt media to cover for her in spin and omission. She has an Army of “free stuff uber alles” voters to vote for her. She has the Wall Street elites who she hangs with in the Hamptons (and decries as the “evil rich” all while they pay her to speak at their functions and generously donate to her campaign). She has the Hollywood elites who live on a different stratosphere than us to act as another arm of the propaganda machine and also donate generously to her campaign.
Given all of that, what has become apparent is that there are one set of laws and rules for us and another for the neo-aristocracy. Isn’t that what Trump’s rise has been all about? Isn’t it about the fact that it is an issue what Trump legally did on his tax returns while there is nothing to see when it comes to criminally compromising our national security then having it covered up by the FBI? Trump has preached that the system is rigged. He has asked us to stand against it. Does it really take one or two more Assange e-mail dumps to convince anyone otherwise and, if it does, can they really be convinced?
It sure would be nice to become enraged or chuckle over a few more e-mails showing the Clinton is a criminal or needs someone to change her depens on a more frequent basis. It would not, however, win or lose this campaign. Mr. Trump and his campaign are going to have to power through the slings and arrows of outrageous corruption by continuing to hammer the issues and take their case to the American People.
