Why Is This Mook Laughing?
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/24/2016 7:22:32 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On arguably the worst day of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, her campaign manager Robby Mook never stopped grinning and laughing through his Morning Joe appearance. The AP has reported that more than half of the meetings Hillary had as Secretary of State with non-governmental representatives were with people who had donated to the Foundation.

But in what was clearly a grinning-past-the-graveyard strategy, there was Mook laughing like he had just won the lottery. And when he wasn’t actively laughing, Mook kept a smile resolutely plastered in place.

Mook displayed encyclopedic knowledge of all facts favorable to Clinton. But when it came to something that might harm her, Robby suddenly pleaded ignorance. Joe Scarborough asked whether it was true that when Doug Band of the Foundation was sending Huma Abedin emails asking for meetings on behalf of donors to the Foundation, he was also the head of the Teneo firm at a time Huma was on the Teneo payroll, effectively making Band Abedin’s boss. “I, I don’t, I don’t know the details of, you know, what was going on in her life,” stammered Mook. Isn’t that convenient?

He laughs because that is Hillary Clinton’s modus operandi — the casual, easy, dismissive chuckle to clue the voters that, chuckle, what do you expect the opposition, chuckle, to say, and you don’t even have to grace the issue with a reply. It is like she is constantly sitting across from a delighted Jimmy Fallon, where everyone is in on the joke.

He didn’t know her schedule today because he is only the “Campaign Manager” for the media appearances. In reality, he is just a minor flunky.

I’d hate to be the Mook if Clintoon loses. The boy will be in big trouble.

Did it sound like Hillary’s cackle when he opened his mouth? He sure looks the same as Hillary when she is cackling!

“I’d hate to be the Mook if Clintoon loses. The boy will be in big trouble.”

If the Hildebeast loses, I expect most of the campaign staff will end up Arkancided within six months.
The last thing they will ever hear is “Hillary is not happy”.

Yes, she does. Good observation, Sarasota.

That inappropriate throw-your- nose-to-the-ceiling hoot & cackle of hers is a staple play, of the Hillary COVER UP Dept annals.

Hillary has done it for years, but now increasingly so, as her nerves are fraying, at the same time there is so much more to cover up.

Hillary is being unraveled (whether she knows it or not) like the true ball of yarn she has always been.

Not so much facts as allegations.

He’s gotta laugh, since he’s not about to cry out, “The emperor has no clothes!”

Especially since he can see the brown stain.

He's laughing because any Democrat interviewed on the Morning Joe show gets a free tongue bath.

Actually, both Nicolle Wallace and Joe were pretty tough in their questioning.

Nicolle was persistent in asking why Hillary didn’t hold a news conference and answer all questions about this, and Joe wanted to know if Doug Band was Huma’s boss at Teneo at the same time he was asking her for favors on behalf of Foundation donors.

Well Joe didn’t threaten to cut off the interview when Mook was obfuscating or down right lying, like he usually does with Republicans.

And Joe's Mook sign off was a big “I'm voting for Hillary” smile.

Of course, he had no idea beforehand of what questions would be asked.

Hillary will laugh all the way through whatever appearances she has with Trump. Laughing him off and ridiculing him are all they have now. He has gotta be prepared!
