Of all newspapers, the Chicago Tribune!, Hillary’s home town newspaper asking her to step away. It’s obvious the American political system is breaking down. It’s been crumbling for some time now, and the establishment elite know it and they’re properly frightened. Donald Trump, the brash New Yorker at their gates, is a symptom, not a cause. Hillary Clinton and husband Bill are both cause and effect.
This can’t be about pervert Anthony Weiner and his reported desire for a teenage girl. But it can be about the laptop of Weiner’s wife, Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and emails between her and Hillary. It comes after the FBI investigation in which Comey concluded Clinton had lied and been “reckless” with national secrets, but said he could not recommend prosecution. So what should the Democrats do now?
Secretary of State Clinton kept her home-brew email server, from which foreign intelligence agencies could hack top secret information, so she could shield the influence peddling that helped make the Clintons several fortunes. The Clintons weren’t skilled merchants. They weren’t traders or manufacturers. The Clintons never produced anything tangible. They had no science, patents or devices to make them millions upon millions of dollars. All they had to sell, really, was influence. And they used our federal government to leverage it. If a presidential election is as much about the people as it is about the candidates, then we’ll learn plenty about ourselves in the coming days. What do you think?
