THIS EVIL VILE WOMAN SHOULD BE IN PRISON

Of all the terrible things Hillary Clinton has done!

I’m up here in New Hampshire watching her talk to a group of supporters, and I realized that I have been following this woman’s career for more than half my life. No, not just my adult life: the whole shebang. She came onto the national scene when I was a young man.

And for all that time, there has been a deafening chorus of critics telling me that she’s just the most wicked, evil, Machiavellian, nefarious individual in American history. She has “the soul of an East German border guard,” in the words of that nice Grover Norquist. She’s a “bitch,” in the words of that nice Newt Gingrich. She’s a “dragon lady.” She’s “Elena Ceaușescu.” She’s “the Lady Macbeth of Little Rock.”

Long before “Benghazi” and her email server, there was “Whitewater” and “the Rose Law Firm” and “Vince Foster.” For those of us following her, we were promised scandal after scandal after scandal. And if no actual evidence ever turned up, well, that just proved how deviously clever she was.

So today I’m performing a public service on behalf of all the voters. I went back and re-read all the criticisms and attacks and best-selling “exposes” leveled at Hillary Rodham Clinton over the past quarter century. And I’ve compiled a list of all her High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Coin toss

Heads or Tails

I can’t believe all the paranoia I saw on Facebook yesterday about Hillary Clinton and the Iowa caucus coin toss used to break ties. “Yes, Hillary Clinton knew in advance exactly how many people would show up in advance at six different precincts and have undercover Sanders workers toss a loaded coin to give her a fraction of a percent of a delegate to the county convention,” I told a few people.

“Well, WHAT ARE THE ODDS that she would win six coin tosses?” they sneered.

“Um, about 1 in 62,” I said. Because it is. Because every time you flip a coin, you have exactly the same odds you did the first time.

Well, guess what? It turns out that Bernie Sanders won six out of seven additional coin flips, and all of a sudden, it’s all perfectly okay. Whew!

Because Clinton rules always apply.

And no, it didn’t affect the totals. Hillary Clinton still won.

Those wacky NC wingnuts want to impeach Hillary Clinton

~ susie ~ 1 Comment

They join Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks who wants her impeached day one. The poll by Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows a whopping 66 percent of GOPers support impeaching Clinton on the day she takes office. However, PPP didn’t ask Republicans why they would support Clinton’s impeachment. Republican Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama recently said that he… Continue reading “Those wacky NC wingnuts want to impeach Hillary Clinton” →

Benghazi biopsy: A thorough guide to a fake scandal

US says Benghazi suspect killed

Moussa Koussa. That is the name of the “classified source” in an old email from Hillary Clinton released last week by Republicans purportedly investigating the 2012 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Under the instructions of the Benghazi committee’s chairman, Republican Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, Koussa’s name was blacked-out on the publicly… Continue reading “Benghazi biopsy: A thorough guide to a fake scandal” →

And what documents were on that server?

Daily Mail…

A bombshell White House memo has revealed for the first time details of the ‘deal in blood’ forged by Tony Blair and George Bush over the Iraq War.

The sensational leak shows that Blair had given an unqualified pledge to sign up to the conflict a year before the invasion started.

It flies in the face of the Prime Minister’s public claims at the time that he was seeking a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

He told voters: ‘We’re not proposing military action’ – in direct contrast to what the secret email now reveals.

The damning memo, from Secretary of State Colin Powell to President George Bush, was written on March 28, 2002, a week before Bush’s famous summit with Blair at his Crawford ranch in Texas.

In it, Powell tells Bush that Blair ‘will be with us’ on military action. Powell assures the President: ‘The UK will follow our lead’.

The disclosure is certain to lead for calls for Sir John Chilcot to reopen his inquiry into the Iraq War if, as is believed, he has not seen the Powell memo.

A second explosive memo from the same cache also reveals how Bush used ‘spies’ in the Labour Party to help him to manipulate British public opinion in favour of the war.

The documents, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, are part of a batch of secret emails held on the private server of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton which U.S. courts have forced her to reveal.
I suppose this is just one by product of the judge’s decision to release documents from Hillary Clinton’s server. I am pretty sure there are more jewels like this. The article at the Daily Mail is long, but a very interesting read.

In a just world there would be criminal investigations for this. Constitutional scholars would know better than I what repercussions might legitimately arise from this knowledge, but the moral hazard will be tremendous if there are no consequences.

As a side note, one wonders if Republicans might be rethinking their partisan obsession with the Clinton “email scandal.” Between this and the revelations about the Benghazi “investigation,” the news has not been good for them lately.

NYT implicates Boehner in Benghazi witch hunt

A shocker from “the paper of record” that seems to have had it in for the Clintons since the early 1990s: accusations by a former House Select Committee on Benghazi investigator that the probe had become a partisan, likely intentionally protracted witch-hunt targeting presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have made their online front page: Now, 17 months… Continue reading “NYT implicates Boehner in Benghazi witch hunt” →

He also called her “a political whore for the New World Order” and “a monster.” And it’s a handy reminder of why making even a mild criticism of gun violence attracts a shit ton of crazy. Via Right Wing Watch: Right-wing pundit Alex Jones is not happy about Hillary Clinton’s call to combat gun violence following… Continue reading “‘Why can’t I have a gun to protect myself, you bitch?’” →

Hillary fights back against phony ‘scandal’

~ susie ~ 1 Comment

(Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images) Just what constitutes “classified” has long been a subject of controversy, with transcripts being redacted, at times, long after they were already made public. On Wednesday, the Clinton camp got a new piece of ammunition for their argument: a heavily-redacted transcript the State Department just released of a conversation former Secretary… Continue reading “Hillary fights back against phony ‘scandal’” →
