Victor Davis Hanson: Hillary’s ‘Sure’ Victory Explains Most Everything
NRO ^ | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 01/30/2018 5:01:55 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Hillary Clinton herself was not worried about even the appearance of scandal caused by transmitting classified documents over a private home-brewed server, or enabling her husband to shake down foreign donations to their shared foundation, or destroying some 30,000 emails. Evidently, she instead reasoned that she was within months of becoming President Hillary Clinton and therefore, in her Clintonesque view of the presidency, exempt from all further criminal exposure. Would a President Clinton have allowed the FBI to reopen their strangely aborted Uranium One investigation; would the FBI have asked her whether she communicated over an unsecure server with the former president of the United States?

Former attorney general Loretta Lynch, in unethical fashion, met on an out-of-the-way Phoenix tarmac with Bill Clinton, in a likely effort to find the most efficacious ways to communicate that the ongoing email scandal and investigation would not harm Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. When caught, thanks to local-news reporters who happened to be at the airport, Lynch sort of, kind of recused herself. But, in fact, at some point she had ordered James Comey not to use the word “investigation” in his periodic press announcements about the FBI investigation.

How could Lynch in the middle of an election have been so silly as to allow even the appearance of impropriety? Answer: There would have been no impropriety had Hillary won...

*skip*

How could former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe assume an oversight role in the FBI probe of the Clinton email scandal when just months earlier his spouse had run for state office in Virginia and had received a huge $450,000 cash donation from Common Good VA, the political-action committee of long-time Clinton-intimate Terry McAuliffe?

Again, the answer was clear. McCabe assumed that Clinton would easily win the election.

I just heard Trey Gowdy being interviewed on Fox and Friends. The man is hopeless. Had nothing but praise for McCabe. Said he did not know why he quit. Said he was a professional.

I did not check back and was thinking you were referring to Hanson.

Gowdy has always been all talk and no action. Gowdy officially endorsed Little Marco during the beginnings of the Republican presidential primary.

Little Marco is not a natural born citizen.

Sort of reminds me of my friend who was a conservative to the core but could not escape the life long propaganda that FDR saved us from the depression. (Lost him about 5 years ago)

I wish it was not true, but we watched the kabuki show for almost 8 years under Obama.

Before Obama we had this.


I don't comment on open investigations
and everything is under investigation.

Only those that govern themselves are governable. Bingo !

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

Probably my favorite Adams quote.

I'm not convinced that ONLY Christians are truly self-governable, but I strongly suspect that that is the case.

It was not quite as bad.
Nothing happened to that murderer, Janet Reno, but at least the House got around to impeaching Bill.

Then we have a more dangerous unethical federal workforce, more so than any president. They view bribery, gift, murder, and treason as the brass ring. They envy the Clintons and Obama’s of this world, just waiting their turn to cash in and start destroying anyone in their path as well.

Corrupt workers chosen intentionally? 'Bad' trade deals NOT AN ACCIDENT?

Obama was a community organizer - that's traditionally a communist position... he lived in Hyde Part - the heart of the old guard communists, Bill Ayers wrote Obama's book - Bill Ayers is a communist. None of the 'mistakes' that weakened our country were 'accidents'? Is that possible?

And now the projections that 'we're the people' working with communists is telling. Has it really been Obama, and Holder, and McCabe, and Lerner and Brennan, and Clapper, and Bernie, and Kerry, and Ayers, and and and.... for years? Some communists - some useful idiots? A mix? Is this possible?

Did communist kill Seth?

Were communists assuming Hillary would win - and her money grubbing sell-outs would continue the destruction for another 8 years? More 'uranium one' type trades with Russia by 'President Hillary'? Why not? She's showed her stripes. Russians would be thrilled with Hillary... she and Obama gave them what they wanted...

Release the Memo... it's time to pull out the microscope and take a long hard look at the scum that's been taking down our nation.

All we got out of that is the House prosecutor became Senator Lindsey Graham.
