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.

The Democratic Party is corrupt because, in its slide to the hard Left under Obama, it has fully embraced Post-Modernism.

Under Post-Modernism, there is no good or evil and no objective morality. Everything (i.e. all behavior) is relative to how you think of it and how you self identify.

Reality itself, being a Judeo-Christian (i.e. Whitey) construct, is under attack by the Post-Modernists

This resulted in the By Any Means Necessary Rule by which their agenda must be implemented.

The Hard Left/Post-Modernist Agenda (which includes Marxism) is the only thing that is important.

BAMN!

RR:

“We’re all gonna hang.”


When those words were spoken by HRC, her intent was their portraits would be hung with others of the high and mighty. For posterity, don’t you know.

When the farmer is away, the farm animals make hay and whoopee. This farm, however, saw their chickens coming home to roost.

AMERICA missed the bullet due to intervention from ONE more important and wise than both HRC, BO’B, or any other d’rat.

WTP also have friends in high places!

who was the woman who said something like ‘we need to make sure all this information gets preserved before trump takes over and buries it?

Was that a reference to the FISA searches or the dossier?

“Imagine a scenario in which you run into Sid Blumenthal and Terry Mcauliff in a sinking boat? You only have room to save one. Which one do you save?”

I circle safely out of reach as I toss any bait overboard, set off any explosives I may have and pray for sharks.

If they happen to make it into a life boat I head towards them post haste as I calmly and diligently clean my glasses.
Repeat as necessary.

Depends. Am I in possession of a handgun? If so, more room for me on the life raft.

Personally I would file the necessary federal ocean environmental impact paperwork and wait for a permit.

Did Jim and Tammy have anyone eliminated?

That’s all I can come up with.

Hillary couldn’t lose. Hussein spied on Trump so “president Hillary” could use the information to destroy Donald Trump, his family, businesses, and associates.

But then .....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++==

Evelyn Farkas

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/30/hannity-ex-obama-official-could-vindicate-trumps-surveillance-claims.html

Hannity was referring to a March 2 MSNBC interview with Dr. Evelyn Farkas, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia and now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.

In the interview, Farkas admitted to “telling the Hill people, get as much information as you can [about possible connections between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence] ... before President Obama leaves the administration, because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left.”

Farkas also said she feared “that the Trump folks – if they found out how we knew what we knew about their ... the Trump staff dealing with Russians – that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.”

According to Hannity, Farkas was “admitting ... surveillance of Trump and his associates and transition team took place,” as well as “unmasking” of those Trump team members and “intelligence leaking,” which, Hannity said, “could very well be a felony.”

No, the Democrats embraced socialism, a failed ideology that is corrupt by its nature.

Shouldn’t Hussein and Hellry, the true ringleaders, be at the center of the traitors?
