Hillary Clinton urges Democrats to hold Watergate-style television hearings
CNN via KPAX ^ | 4/24/19

Posted on 04/25/2019 2:19:07 AM PDT by Libloather

**SNIP**

She wrote a rare-for-her op-ed for the Washington Post about the Mueller report, saying it “documents a serious crime against the American people.” Hours later, it’s the most-read thing on the Post’s website.

Clinton said the 2016 election was “corrupted” by Russia - an assault “bigger than politics” - and “what our country needs now is clear-eyed patriotism, not reflexive partisanship.” Citing Watergate as a precedent, she said “televised hearings added to the factual record and, crucially, helped the public understand the facts in a way that no dense legal report could. Similar hearings with Mueller, former White House counsel Donald McGahn and other key witnesses could do the same today.”

Former Nixon W.H. counsel John Dean, on “AC360,” said “I do agree with her. You have to educate the public. That’s what happened during Watergate. That’s what she’s suggesting should happen again. And that’s the only way to really, politically, move forward - is to have an informed electorate. They are not today.”

I think she's worried an orange jump suit is in her near future.

LOCK HER UP!

The coup criminals must be locked up or America is finished. We are simply not a country of laws if these perpetrators walk free.

Comey, hillary, brennen must be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

“...have an informed electorate. They are not today.””

No, they’re not, thanks to MSM. But, many are getting woke (Walkaway, blexit), with more to come. And, the sheriff and judges are changing.

She’s whistling past the graveyard.

“We are simply not a country of laws if these perpetrators walk free.”

True dat. President Trump tried to do the gracious thing after he was inaugurated and let the whole “lock her up” thing drop quietly. I disagreed with him on that and vehemently so for exactly the reason you stated. But I think he was saying “let’s back away from this and nobody gets hurt.”

But the Dems wouldn’t do that. They spent 2-1/2 years destroying lives and spreading a line of BS so thick you couldn’t cut it with a meat axe. Now they’re completely committed to it and have no way to back out. They can’t. Their base would eat them alive.

Oh, one or two are trying to. Woodward is doing the “maybe it was Russian disinformation” thing as if that somehow exonerates anyone. After all, these are supposed to be the smartest people in the room, any room, at any time. It’ll be tough to pull the “we got fooled just like everyone else” routine and have anyone with an IQ above room temp fall for it.

That doesn’t mean they won’t try.

No, my friend, this is now a fight to the death. Believe me I’m as impatient as anyone to see Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Yates, Lynch, et al being fitted for handcuffs and orange jumpsuits as anyone else. But President Trump isn’t stupid. The facts of this are beginning to come out. And facts are very stubborn things.

The next 12 months are going to be more fun than a barrel full of monkeys. So, lean back in your chair, put your feet up, have a snowcone, and enjoy the show.

The horror in the back of my mind is if just one liberal finds its way onto her jury, there will never be a conviction.

This (person) I can't call her woman, she is a disgrace to all of us women; I can't call her a human, she isn't anything that is a human related, so I guess (person) is about as close as I can come...

I lived, as many as you have, with the Clintons in the news all our lives, married, raised kids, worked jobs, all the while the Clintons were on the news all the time...course there was nothing about the Mena, Arkansas drug trafficking; and there wasn't the Rose Law Firm fraud; and there wasn't anything about the Governor of Arkansas sniffing out anything that wore a skirt; and there wasn't anything about the affair of Web Hubble and Hillary Clinton and daughter Chelsea; oh no all we heard was how great he was UNTIL they got to the White House and then all the heavens came down on them...then we heard about, thank you Paula Jones and Jennifer Flowers, the affairs; and all of a sudden we found out about White Water and the papers in the basement of the White House; and the pictures of Web and his daughter Chelsea; and Vince Foster who committed suicide with his right hand and he was left handed wrapped in a rug; and when they left, all the silver ware was missing...

Then on to another part of the Clinton Saga: they carpetbagged their way into New York, Daniel was thinking about retiring as Senator, and JFK Jr. was thinking about running for that position, well all of a sudden, wouldn't you know it, here is the terrible plane crash that killed JFK Jr. his wife and her sister, leaving the door wide open for Hillary Rotten Clinton...(the offer she made Daniel was his life or he retire)…

And all the while her ‘husband’ was out chasing skirts with Jefferey Epstein on an island with little girls, not just once or twice but quite a few times the logs say...and Hillary Rotten Clinton was there also...

Well now that you are now living in the non stop saga of the dirtiest, most rotten two people in the World, yes they beat Hitler and Mussolini by far, and their child trafficking in Haiti; and the rest of the World, her most delicious loss of the president run she thought she had in the bag...

Now we live with the rotten media falling at her every word to tear down a great man who is Our President, that has OUR feelings before his own, that has OUR COUNTRY in his every thought and here is this Hillary Rotten Clinton and her mouth thinking she has something important to say, truth being she or her sex offender partner have never been important to anyone other than themselves, the money, the power and the greed of these two are beyond anyone’s imagination...

What a waste of life...the media's life is ruined, how many people are dead because of these two, how many children are suffering because of these two...

Thank You Lord for not letting Hillary Rotten Clinton becoming POTUS, we would not be here if she had...

We NO LONGER after this day need to wonder about anything these two rotten people have done to Our Country, other Countries, Our President and Our Patriots, they are UNIMPORTANT!!!

So long as they can keep PDJT on the defense they know there won’t be any focus on them. The second PDJT can go on offense they know the SHTF and they’re done for. Right now, they know PDJT is escaping their trap and panicking, the rhetoric just gets more and more extreme.

These people have no soul to save.

Like so many democrats, Hillary is saying outrageous things mostly to garner attention since she is becoming less and less relevant to her party. (Its all about meeeee!)

On the other hand, since she may soon be doing time, she may be looking for something she can watch on the cell room TV.

“Watergate”

Whenever Watergate is brought up, people of good faith should immediately come back with the facts.

Both the Stupid and the Evil parties wine and dine moneyed citizens as part of their efforts to obtain donations. They try to get the citizen’s head spinning by inviting him to any event that will put him in the company of the famous and powerful.

At that particular time, in the run-up to the 1972 election, the demonrats had expanded this itinerary to include treating potential donors to the services of prostitutes, paid for out of DNC money—you know, Joe Sixpack’s ten bucks that he contributed to have a voice in our representative republic.

That was a felony. Actually, each instance was a separate felony.

Some of Nixon’s subordinates, without his knowledge, decided to try and obtain documentary proof of this, with the intention of exposing the demonrats’ felonious behavior. Unfortunately for America, for the people of South Viet Nam, and for mankind in general, they were not practiced and proficient criminals. As one might have guessed, they made a hash of it.

Nixon’s subordinates, then, were guilty of conspiracy to expose multiple felonies involving the improper use of DNC funds to pay prostitutes.

When his subordinates finally told him the truth, Nixon decided it would be best to cover up this trifling indiscretion. This was entirely reasonable, in view of the heinous crimes that the media had covered up for Roosevelt, maybe Truman, certainly Kennedy, and even Johnson. (Later, they even covered up murder for a sitting president.)

The demonrats, knowing that they had the media in their pocket, decided to lie, lie, lie, and spin, spin, spin, and artificially escalated this tempest in a teapot to the status of a (barf alert) “constitutional crisis.”

They had a few reasons for knifing Nixon.

1. Nixon had been involved in the effort to root foreign agents of influence out of the State Department and other government posts, which was an unforgivable sin against the Evil One.

2. The huge cloud of dust they raised with their hysterical blather about Nixon’s “crimes” completely obscured the reason for the break in: multiple demonrat felonies, involving a vice that most of America still found repugnant.

3. Nixon’s Vietnamization program had succeeded, and he was on the brink of Peace with Honor in Viet Nam. That would have been a ghastly defeat for the left.

And, of course, a hodge-podge of obvious reasons: To embarrass the GOP, to demoralize the Silent Majority, to move the demonrats further to the left, and to forestall any good things Nixon might have done in a second term, with reelection off the table. You can probably name others.

With their customary shameless dishonesty, the left has elevated the Watergate incident to near-mythical status, like the assassination of Abe Lincoln or the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. This needs to be contradicted with the truth at every opportunity.

I think it’s important, because every time a lib realizes that one of the left’s axiomatic propositions is nothing but lies and deceit, the possibility exists that he will begin to question other planks in their platform.

“Is it true John Dean’s wife was a whore fallen angel?”

Can’t say for sure.

I can say I never heard that allegation until the truth about demonrats treating donors to the services of prostitutes began to gain wider dissemination.

If it were true, it would be easy for the dims to demonstrate, which would discredit the accusation that they were spending on whores. They didn’t do that, so I don’t think it is true.

I think they just invented it as damage control when the truth about their use of prostitutes threatened to come to light.

Of course, they could rely on their propaganda wing to suppress the truth.

I agree with Billary, Inc.

WE SHOULD have Watergate style hearings, but they should be for the purpose investigating how Billary, Inc. and the DNC got the Obama administration to spy on Trump without any probable cause to, and then turn a “dossier” that Billary, Inc. and the DNC paid for as a basis for more spying on Trump and for concocting a hoax that Trump had colluded with Russia. Yes, all that should be investigated, Watergate style.
