The headlines are an omen. A restoration of the Clinton presidency would be a restoration of the national and moral chaos they invariably create. They can’t help themselves. They are corrupt and corrupters, the Typhoid Mary of politics. Whether by nature or nurture, they are programmed to ruin. Friends, allies, institutions, all are stained by their touch. And always, the Clintons blame somebody else.
Clinton is understandably panicked because the timing of Comey’s announcement could cost her the election. Her demand that he release everything immediately is also understandable, even as she knows it is impossible for him to release potential evidence before it is examined.
Clinton’s most likely strategy: say nothing while trying to make the issue about Comey’s unorthodox move. A hint of it came Friday evening in her first public reaction. After falsely accusing him of sending his congressional letter only to Republicans, congressional Democrats also got it, Clinton dodged a direct question about whether she had spoken to Abedin. Instead of saying yes or no, she avoided it entirely. The victim card is a Clinton family heirloom, but there are major problems playing it over Comey’s sudden reopening of the e-mail probe. Clinton created the mess with her incredibly stupid decision to use a private server as secretary of state. And I believe so because the Clinton’s have gotten away with so much for so long, that they think they are immune to penalty. But their day is coming, and I pray to be around to see the end of their reign. What do you think?
