The other thing that gets whined about is the fact that she deleted personal emails off that server. But there is no law prohibiting a government official from deleting personal emails off of her personal email server. Otherwise half the Bush administration would be in jail.
But all of that is nonsense in the first place, because it presumes that a Democratic president would authorize the indictment of his likely successor even if there was a law violated. Which is about as likely as cows flying by flapping their ears.
Regarding Trump being indicted… I have no idea WTF is going to happen there if he actually is indicted. Given how slowly these cases wind through state courts, he’ll likely just call it a partisan witch-hunt and stall any actual trial until well after the election. In a sense I get the feeling that his entire run for office was intended to immunize him against these kinds of prosecutions by allowing him to call it politics. Reminds me of an old codger who ran for Governor of Louisiana every four years, because Louisiana had a law that a politician running for office could not be sued for libel. So he paid the filing fee every four years just so he could libel pretty much everybody in Louisiana state government and his local Parish government with impunity. It drove them nuts, but it was their own law to prevent themselves from being sued for libel when they smeared their opponent, so what were they to do other than wait for the dude to die of old age, which eventually he did, heh.

Who knows – we could end up with Sanders vs Cruz 😈
]]>The Clinton Foundation is a front for one thing, and one thing only: Funneling lots of money into Clinton pockets. When the Clintons exited the White House they were pretty much bankrupt. They owned basically nothing except the clothes on their back, and fine clothes they were, but you can’t eat clothes. Hillary (because you know damn well that Bill has about as much initiative as a turnip unless there’s a skirt involved) decided to remedy that, and did so, with the whole “foundation” scam. The hilarious thing, the thing that makes right wingers furious, is that the scam is legal, even, thanks to laws passed under Reagan to legalize that whole right-wing constellation of bogus “non-partisan” foundation scams.
And no way, no how, is Hillary getting indicted on that email thing while President Obama is in office. Justice Department policy requires the consent of the Attorney General before submitting charges to a grand jury for indictment of a major political figure, for obvious reasons (because it would create a major sh*tstorm that the Attorney General and his peeps have to prepare for if they allow it to go ahead), and that consent is not going to be forthcoming. No way, no how does the Obama administration want the political circus that would ensue. Obama is intent upon finishing up his lame duck year then slithering out of office with as little drama as possible while accomplishing as much as possible, and letting A.G. Lynch submit that package to a grand jury would be totally contrary to that desire.
It amuses me that people think that a sitting Democratic president would actually proffer an indictment of his probable successor to a grand jury when that would likely result in a President Trump. How naive, thinking that rule of law trumps politics in that kind of thing…
]]>OT: Was browsing a blog I check now and then, and came across this article I thought you may find of some interest.
Is The CIA Getting Ready To Dump The Clintons?
It’s primarily about the ‘Clinton Foundation’ which I have mentioned before and suspected as being a front (most of these *Foundations* are!) Anyway, I found it an interesting read. 🙂
