Send Hillary to the Big House

Hillary Clinton is in a freefall right now. Her poll numbers are dropping, her socialist rival is drawing larger crowds and a new book being released this week is reminding Americans about her phony marriage.
In Ron Kessler’s new book, The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents; it was revealed that former President Bill Clinton is once again cheating on his wife. This time his mistress is a buxom blonde who brings cookies to the secret service agents, according to Kessler. He also claims that Hillary treats agents with “contempt.” In fact, he says that “she’s so abusive to her agents that being assigned to her detail is considered a form of punishment.”
Concerning Hillary’s marriage to Bill, Kessler contends that “It’s a total fake, like everything else about Hillary. It’s just a big show and a scam.” Will Americans want this freak show back in the White House? During the Bill Clinton years, it was a constant stream of scandals and investigations. While he survived impeachment and finished his second term, he certainly diminished the reputation of the presidency. In fact, Bill Clinton was so tarnished that Al Gore practically refused to campaign with him in the 2000 presidential race.
After Hillary saved Bill’s presidency by standing by his side during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, many pundits expected her to coast to the presidency. She initially won a New York Senate seat and then joined the 2008 White House race. Her coronation was disrupted by an unknown Senator from Illinois who stole all of Hillary’s thunder. Battling to become the nation’s first African American president, Barack Obama trumped Hillary’s quest to become the first woman president.
In the 2008 campaign, Hillary was exposed as a poor campaigner and a boring speaker who did not excite voters. Instead of changing her caustic personality or improving her inept political skills, Hillary joined the Obama administration as Secretary of State. Her “accomplishments” included a failed reset of relations with Russia and the destruction of Libya. Hillary spearheaded the military campaign to remove tyrant Muammar Gaddafi, but did not foresee the lawlessness, chaos and jihadist terrorism that would follow. One of the resulting catastrophes was the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Hillary completely mishandled the incident and then falsely told Americans that an Internet video motivated the attack.
After her disastrous turn as Secretary of State, Hillary hoped to ride a feminist wave into the White House. The problem is that her political skills have not improved and her current campaign is beset with a series of very serious problems.
From the “Clinton Cash” controversy to her husband’s connection to a known pedophile, Hillary has been on the defensive since the beginning of the race. However, new revelations disclosed this week threaten to pose an even more severe crisis for Clinton. Fox News has revealed that classified information from a variety of intelligence agencies was located on Clinton’s private email correspondence.
This disclosure means that it is quite possible that Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information and committed a crime. To add to these suspicions, the State Department redacted classified information in dozens of Hillary’s emails that were released to comply with a court order mandating transparency. According to former prosecutor Rudy Giuliani, Clinton should be “under investigation for five different crimes right now.”
Of course, despite the evidence, the Obama Justice Department has shown no interest in investigating Clinton. Giuliani believes it is “outrageous” that Attorney General Loretta Lynch has refused to act. However, this inaction is not surprising because in this administration politics is always first and justice runs a poor second.
