I think you're right, and that's what I've always thought. The SOS position was a set-up for her, since she was arguably the least powerful and least independent SOS ever but was put out front to take the hits for what was essentially Obama's policy. She was obviously intimidated by him, for some reason.
I didn't understand exactly why Bill C. permitted this (although keeping his distance), but the Obama WH is such a complex knot of secrecy, fraud and treason that it's hard to understand any of it.
Barry may want Fauxcahontas because she is more loyal to him, but now he's GOT to know Hillary could REALLY burn his azz if she wanted to.
The Clintons were afraid of Obama for one reason. If they turned on him they would have no chance of winning in 2016. The blacks and progressives would sit it out.
Or, they sold him their souls years ago.
My guess is that they are all crooked and in it for themselves. It’s like multiple feuding Mafia families vying for control. They may call temporary truces when it benefits them against a common enemy (the American people), but no one is above backstabbing the other when it suits them.
It must be exhausting always having to watch your back like that and never being able to trust anyone.
