Hillary Clinton’s week just went from bad to worse

Losing New Hampshire by 22 points to an avowed socialist was bad enough for Hillary Clinton. But then came the news -- first reported by WaPo -- that the State Department had opened a inquiry regarding the activities of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation during her time time as secretary of state. And bad went to way, way worse.

By my count, this latest State Department inquiry makes for three active investigations by the federal government that touch directly or indirectly on the 2016 Democratic presidential front-runner.

1. The newly revealed State inquiry into the Clinton Foundation and top Clinton aide Huma Abedin

2. The ongoing State inquiry into Clinton's private email server

3. The FBI investigation into Clinton's email server

Exactly.

There is no impat on her candidacy. She has the delegates already. Sanders can win every primary and he still loses.

Absolutely true — plus, the added benefit of the draw down on the cold war military, the welfare reform passed in ‘95 and the expanded tax base from the tech boom, which led to some pretty positive budgetary effects; all of that benefitted Billy Jeff.
