Yet...
Like the current Secretary of State.
I'll continue to worry about the future of this country until both Secretaries of State are hammered into oblivion for THEIR manifest hatred for the United States...just like the current Balloon Head in Chief.
Hopefully the GOP doesn’t blow it like they did the hearings...and so many other things over the last several years.
Hillary will get away with any Benghazi scandal because she is a Clinton and a Democrat and it all depends what the meaning of “is”, is.
How did the Republicans “blow it ion the hearings”? I keep hearing that from the lib media and handwringing conservatives.
I guess I saw a different hearing. She got nailed to the wall.
you watched the same hearing I did.
I will never understand why the Republicans let her get any farther after confirmation she lied about the video to the American people.
They should have stopped at that point and kept at it exclusively for about seven hours.
Instead, they covered up the bombshell with hours more of her blather.
The Truth can not be hidden forever. It will come out all of the dirty little details. If elected—she will be impeached. GOP blew it—but there is a nation full of people. Millions who just know she is as guilty as sin. Imagine now—President Trump—and AG Trey Gordy—they will hound her til her last breath to get the truth. Someone who knows will crack—and the whole rotten mess will come out all over the headlines. Obama is also in this tragedy.
Lying about the video is admitting there was a cover up, but as far as I know, no one asked her what they were trying to cover up or even used the phrase. They lied about it for 2 weeks, BO included. Did they even ask her where BO was that night?
As far as Benghazi is concerned, IMHO the best approach would be to replay Hillary’s 2008 “3 AM phone call” ad against Obama, voiceover the responsibility of SoS Hillary for the security of diplomats - and then point out that Stephens didn’t even have her phone number. I’d also look for a way to point out that if not for men “riding to the sound of the guns,” if defiance of orders, the casualty list might have been a good deal higher than 4.But my dream approach to a Hillary candidacy would be to spike it before the nomination:
On corruption grounds alone, Hillary should not even be considered for nomination by a legitimate national political party. And if even a couple of “purple” states acted as I propose, she wouldn’t be. And it’s not like “purple” states don’t have Republican state governments: Wisconsin and Ohio are counterexamples. Even if not actually passed, the effort to enact my proposal would create terrible optics for anyone opposing it.
- Article 1 Section 9 mandates that "no person holding any office of profit or trust under [the United States], shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.
- And yet, reportedly, the Clinton Foundation received money from foreign governments, and Bill Clinton raked in six-figure honoraria for speeches to foreign government entities while Hillary was SoS. Hillary was a principal of both the Clinton Foundation and her marriage.
- Liberals - and SCOTUS, along with the Congress and the POTUS - have held that it is so important to keep money from corrupting our politicians that “Campaign Finance Reform” is mandatory even at the risk of compromising freedom of the press. There is therefore no justification for SCOTUS - or Democrat governors or state legislators - putting a thumb on the scale to prevent enforcement of the stricture against foreign government gifts to US officials.
- Every state should (it would entirely suffice if two or three “purple” states did) pass a law against the selection of any Electors who are pledged to a candidate who has violated that stricture - no matter how the “gifts” may have been laundered. Although the Constitution requires that congressmen and senators be elected, under the Constitution Electors actually are not:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress . . .If a state says that you can’t have any Electors pledged to you, and thus you can’t be can’t be on the ballot, under the plain text of the Constitution you are out of luck, and have no recourse. A state wouldn’t even have to articulate a reason - but in this case the reason is plainly pro-Constitutional in intent, and in accord with the tendency of SCOTUS (in validating McCain-Feingold) even it it weren’t.
