Clinton Projection Syndrome
Townhall.com ^ | May 2, 2019 | Victor Davis Hanson

Hillary Clinton recently editorialized about the second volume of special counsel Robert Mueller's massive report. She concluded of the report's assorted testimonies and inside White House gossip concerning President Trump's words and actions that "any other person engaged in those acts would certainly have been indicted."

Psychologists might call her claims "projection." That is the well-known psychological malady of attributing bad behavior to others as a means of exonerating one's own similar, if not often even worse, sins.

After 22 months of investigation and $34 million spent, the Mueller report concluded that there was no Trump-Russia collusion -- the main focus of the investigation -- even though that unfounded allegation dominated print and televised media's speculative headlines for the last two years.

While Mueller's report addressed various allegations of Trump's other roguery, the special counsel did not recommend that the president be indicted for obstruction of justice in what Mueller had just concluded was not a crime of collusion.

What Mueller strangely did do -- and what most federal prosecutors do not do -- was cite all the allegedly questionable behavior of a target who has just been de facto exonerated by not being indicted.

What Mueller did not do was explain that much of the evidence he found useful was clearly a product of unethical and illegal behavior. In the case of the false charge of "collusion," the irony was rich.

VDH assumes/assumed we still have a Justice System in our country currently.

Her stunning loss in 2016 IS AND WILL BE THE ONLY CONSEQUENCE of her unlawfulness in her whole life.

Until all of the current players are looooooong dead, people won't be able to honestly look at this era with critical eyes.

<< For Clinton now to project that the president should be indicted suggests she is worried about her own potential indictment. And she is rightly concerned that for the first time in 40 years, neither she nor her husband is serving in government or running for some office, and therefore she could be held accountable. >>
