Mueller Probe Could Set the Stage For Hillary’s 2020 Return: New at Reason
Reason Magazine's Hit & Run Blog ^ | June 19, 2017 | Staff

Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 presidential election presents a preview of Hillary Clinton's 2020 presidential campaign, suggests Ira Stoll. Blaming the outcome of the election on illegal Russian interference takes the blame off Clinton for losing. Clinton can already point out that she won the popular vote in 2016. If her electoral vote loss was the result of foreign interference—rather than, say, a poorly managed campaign, or a candidate who couldn't connect with out-of-work coal miners, or the wrong substantive message—then perhaps a 2020 replay, without foreign interference, might yield a different outcome, some will suggest.

For a sense of how the Clinton 2020 reasoning and the Mueller investigation are related, keep an eye on the timing, writes Stoll. If the probe delivers results long enough before the 2020 primary season for Clinton to get a campaign in gear, watch out. If findings don't emerge until later, then they won't be much use to her.

IF Mueller had a speck of honesty, Hillary would be in jail by 2020.


I don’t trust him. I do trust Sessions. I do, however, question his judgement. And I think it’s time he resign from his post as AG. That’s unfortunate.

How much rejection does this woman need? Does she have a screw loose? She’s America’s ex-wife. America’s batty old grandma. She’s never accomplished a thing on her own other than following her husband, using his name and popularity to an unspectacular senate career. She had half a failed term as Sec of State.

She smalls like boiled cabbage, farts, and urine according to Podesta. Can anyone point to her signature accomplishment while in any office?

“Reason?” How ‘bout “Insane” for a more appropriate title.

Who will Crooked Hillary run against? The dems CONTROL the Judicial Branch of this government. By 2020, any republican that would have a chance to win will be in prison serving time over NYT accusations and Faked News crime stories. Sessions NEVER should have recused himself and even on the matters outside of his recusal he seems to be AWOL.

She won’t have the health or backing for another run.

She may try, but the money will go with younger who stand a better chance.

The DNC will not pave the way for another coronation trek for her. If she does try in 2020, she will likely be facing some real competition from other Dem contenders.

They might just run a robot that looks like Hillary. Who would know the difference?

Sometimes I think that they should require licenses to reason. These people are reasoning themselves down the rabbit hole.

She’d still have to overcome her nasty personality, habitual lying and paranoia.

I think that’s a resume enhancement with the Democrats.

Obama 2008, Obama 2012.....

3+ years in politics is a very long time And the electorate is largely populated by drooling morons, IOW numbnuts that don’t agree with me har ha

I’ve no doubt that the majority of DemoCraps would vote for Hillary in 2020 if she could string together a couple of sentences and not crap her pants while being carried up the stairs.

Not to worry, I’m betting that the party and the media is gearing up to make Kamala Harris the embodiment of the leftist Second Coming. One would think that another half or considerably less than half black would insult the race pimps. Kamala Harris is genetically more “other” than black. Nope. Remember we are talking about the same people that made white bread Rachael Dolezal head of an NAACP chapter. They’d vote for Al Jolson in blackface if the NAACP and the DNC told them he was a brother.
