Why It All Matters for Hillary
With the new information about the new emails that may involve Hillary Clinton, found via Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s spouse Anthony Weiner’s sexting with an underage girl (jeez, what a sentence…), let’s resolve this tonight. The emails appear to be between Hillary and Huma, which means both of them have the messages. We know Weiner did. So Huma and/or Hillary can release everything tonight and America can see for itself. No delays, no filters, just get those messages out. I offer to host them here on my blog if that helps.
Or, if Hillary and/or Huma or Weiner wants to issue a statement that 100% of the emails have nothing to do with her business, and have no classified whatsoever in them, then that’ll be fine also. Close the door on this before bed time.
Occam’s Razor, simplest answer is best. And if that does not happen, why not?
The arguments of “everybody does it” and “well, it wasn’t illegal” in regards to the email server, the Clinton Foundation, pay-for-play, donor access, dirty tricks against Sanders, the many well-timed coincidences of Trump revelations, and more, are strawman logic.
Leaving aside the idea that people usually say “everybody does it” and “well, it wasn’t illegal” only when their own candidate gets caught doing something, what was done matters.
It really does.
Everyone in the world knew from the day she dropped out in 2008 with Secretary of State as a consolation prize that Hillary Clinton was running for president in 2016. Simply because she played coy is a very weak place to make a stand that her’s and Bill’s actions up to the official announcement of her candidacy didn’t matter from that day forward.The reason this all matters is that Hillary will be president, and Bill will be arguably the second most powerful person in the United States (please don’t try and argue that a popular ex-President back in the White House will just be arm candy.) That there exists even the appearance that the president of the United States and Bill are for sale is to the detriment of the United States. Many of the world’s governments are corrupt, and people seeing the same in America puts us in league with Nigeria or Pakistan, not other First World democracies.
We can hide behind the semantics that donations to a self-named foundation, and excessive fees for speeches, are not bribes. We can pretend that nations like Saudi Arabia, which thrive on some of the worst records for women’s rights and treatment of LGBTQ people, donate millions of dollars to an organization like the Clinton Foundation which promotes women’s rights and better treatment of LGBTQ people, simply because it’s the right thing to do.
Sure.
To expose to the world even the appearance of such impropriety is a disgrace. The president has as one of her roles setting the example for the federal workforce. Is the example that as long as it skirts the edge of legality it is fine behavior? If I was a contracts officer in the Social Security Administration and allowed a vendor to donate crazy amounts of money to my spouse’s non-profit as I was considering a contract award, would that too be OK?What about if I was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a speech to that organization? What if I would not let anyone know what I said? All OK? Does everyone really do that?
We can imagine Bill Clinton having a private meeting with the Attorney General just days before her agency exonerates Hillary Clinton is OK. We can pretend the State Department slow-walking the release of Clinton emails is keeping within the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act. We can pretend Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, a longtime ally of Bill and Hillary Clinton, gave nearly $500,000 to the election campaign of the wife of an FBI official who later became involved in the investigation into Clinton’s email use because he simply supported her candidacy.It is also OK for the federal government to prosecute one U.S. Army private for documents found on Wikileaks while claiming there is no evidence that the documents about Hillary Clinton now on Wikileaks are authentic or unaltered. We can pretend the Russian intelligence services hacked John Podesta’s email to rig the election while saying those same services did not touch Hillary Clinton email server?
And do you really, really believe this is all a right-wing conspiracy, and that it has been, continuously, since the Clinton’s entered public life decades ago? That is an ingenious plot by Putin? That it is all driven by misogyny?
It all matters. It matters who we put into the White House because if you think all of this will cease just because Inauguration Day comes around, you really are a foolish. Hell, you’ll believe anything.

14Well, Hillary doesn’t mince words about Bill’s role when she “wins” the presidency – she has said he will be in charge of fiscal policy. Did you like the overturning of Glass-Steagal? The end of welfare, vast reductions to the Medicare system? Just wait until we see what’s next.
The media and the Clinton surrogates are out in full force pontificating that there it “no evidence” of wrong-doing or criminal pay-for-play, yet the whole thing is nothing BUT evidence, for God’s sake.
It’s like Comey presenting an airtight case for bringing charges and then declining to do so – absurd and ludicrous on its face.
These people aren’t even trying to hide the corruption any more – they are putting these grifters back into the White House and laughing right into the voters’ faces with this sham “election”.
By the way, I can’t help but wonder if the rumors are true that Clinton intends to nominate Obama and Lynch to the Supreme Court. That there is some real serious-as-shit pay-for-play.

No Mitch. That isn’t my kind of fun. After 10yrs of looking at every video ever made on the subject, the living proof of it’s reason for happening is staring us in the face as I type. I was watching TV the moment 9/11 began. Within 1 hour, I was already convinced it was perpetrated by …well.. you know. Unfortunately.. there ain’t a damn thing I can do about it other than live with the state of our current trajectory the best I can until I die. However, I will carry with me the truth. I know. You know. Perhaps, in the future, the truth will come out. Unfortunately, it’s already moot.

20Hey, it’s 1:30 on Friday. Comey says he is re-opening the investigation into the Clinton emails, as he has found some “new emails” that are “pertinent” to the supposedly closed investigation. Interestingly, he found them while performing a “related investigation”. Maybe he really HAS been looking into the CGI (Clinton Foundation); he didn’t say what the other investigation is.
Also wouldn’t say how long this new look will take.
What a wacky, second-rate nation this has become.

21PS: I mean “second-rate” in terms of how long this has dragged out despite all evidence being right there in front of their faces, how obviously illegal the Clinton email/server/foundation scams were, and how strangely this whole thing has been handled. I sure don’t mean to imply the US is second-rate for investigating her, or for re-opening the case. She needs to be found ineligible for any public office for reasons of illegal activity.

22Okay, now they are saying it has something to do with a Huma Abeddin “device” which in turn has something to do with the Anthony Weiner sexting case. (Didn’t even know the FBI was looking into that.) But this has something to do with the Clinton email investigation….so maybe Abeddin was caught sharing classified stuff with her gross husband, or she tried to destroy evidence she was supposed to turn over, or something.
Wonder why Abeddin ever married that scuzzbucket in the first place. Whole frikkin’ bunch around the Clintons are a waste of DNA.

I am originally from the west coast.
There was a “control” burn…. In August… In a 35 mph wind…..
Guess it got a little out of hand…. 5 million acres… 200 plus houses…..a little out of control…
The BLM…. They pinned it on a bee keeper….
Btw…. For all that are interested….
When a fire is declared ‘arson’…. As it was in that case…
Insurance companies don’t pay… Period.
So…. Yep….. BLM has a whooping coming. Has had for a long time.

I lived in Coos Bay from 2003. The day I moved there, I couldn’t believe how politically active people were. Within a week, I saw 3 different groups downtown, each trying to impeach someone. But yeah, knowing what I do about the general political atmosphere there..especially when it comes to gun rights, I’d say the population has had it with the corruption. If I could, I’d move back. Unfortunately, I’m stuck in Michigan now. And Michigan SUCKS.
“Anyone want to bet Pitchfork’s next round…

Ha! Yeah, well rumor has it Weiner and Bill were having a dick size contest.
Meanwhile,speaking of psycho, this election circus is finally getting close. 11 days till we find out which psycho is gonna kill us all.

31Joke found on a commondreams comment thread:
Hillary Clinton goes to a gifted-student primary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk, she offers to answer questions from the kids.
One little boy puts up his hand. Hillary asks him what his name is.
“Kenny,” he says.
“And what is your question, Kenny?” she asks.
“I have three questions,” he says. “First — what happened in Benghazi? Second — why would you run for president if you are not capable of handling two e-mail accounts? Third — what happened to that six billion dollars that went missing while you were Secretary of State?”
Just then the bell rings for recess.
Hillary tells the students that they will continue after recess.
When they resume Hillary says, “Okay, where were we? Oh, that’s right, question time. Who has a question?”
A different boy — little Johnny — puts his hand up. Hillary points to him and asks him what his name is.
“Johnny,” he says.
“What is your question, Johnny?” she asks.
“I have five questions,” he says. “First — what happened in Benghazi? Second — why would you run for president if you are not capable of handling two e-mail accounts? Third — whatever happened to that six billion dollars that went missing while you were Secretary of State? Fourth — why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And, fifth — where’s Kenny?”

34I seriously have more important things to do, but this is getting too funny. [And tawdry, shabby, and gross.]
Some group called “The Democratic Coalition Against Trump” has filed a complaint against Comey with the Department of Justice Office of Professional Responsibility accusing him of interfering in a presidential election, a violation of the Hatch Act. [My goodness gracious! A law being violated in these United States by someone in a position of power! Inconceivable!]
Comey and the FBI better watch out. They might find their internet access mysteriously cut off by Monday morning.

GO MITCH!!!!! Yah yah, hoorays!!!!
Oct 28, 2016
Hillary Clinton’s State Department spent millions of taxpayer dollars on lavish goods and frivolous initiatives, such as a $5.4 million “no-bid contract for crystal stemware” and $630,000 to “increase Facebook likes on four State Department pages.”
The expenditures appeared in a 21-page memo, prepared by the Republican National Committee, that documented the financial mismanagement that occurred at the State Department under Clinton’s watch.
While wasteful spending is a familiar find at most federal agencies, Clinton presided over particularly expensive unsuccessful reconstruction efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Her agency spent more than $600 million on failed projects in those two countries alone, according to the RNC memo.
