Elections have consequences. Electing Biden would be especially consequential. – Hillary Clinton is desperate to gain some seat of influence in a Biden/Harris Harris/Biden administration, and any old set of influence will do. That is true because that is the only way she and her Lolita Express-flying hubby can reactivate the graft machine that the Clinton Foundation became while she served as Secretary of State.
A couple of weeks ago, her people floated a media rumor that the Fainting Felon would be interested in reprising her Sec. State role in a new administration, and that fell flat as the proverbial pancake as even many people in the media recoiled in horror at such a prospect. But it’s hard to keep this lifetime grifter down: Over the weekend, she floated a ghost-written piece in the influential, if little-read, Foreign Affairs magazine about defense policy, a clear audition for the Secretary of Defense job in a Biden/Harris Harris/Biden government.
From a report by the National Pulse:
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE, U.S. SENATOR, AND BENGHAZI BELITTLER HILLARY CLINTON HAS PENNED A 5000-WORD OPINION EDITORIAL FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS MAGAZINE – A SCARCELY-READ YET IMPORTANT FOREIGN POLICY INDUSTRY PUBLICATION. THE ARTICLE CLEARLY AIMS TO ESTABLISH CLINTON AS A POTENTIAL BIDEN PICK FOR SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL CABINET POSITIONS IN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. The Trump campaign will surely see the audition by the very unpopular Hillary Clinton as a gift in the final days of the U.S. Presidential campaign. The idea of voting for Joe Biden and waking up with Hillary Clinton will send chills up the spine of even many Democrats, to whom both Clinton and Biden represent an old, tired, globalist worldview at odds with a “progressive” or even populist Democrat trajectory.
And Clinton appears to know this, too.
Her article contains a number of veiled mea culpas over globalism, though she repeatedly lumps the blame at Donald Trump’s door for many of the problems caused – in a national security sense – by his predecessors:
“For decades, policymakers have thought too narrowly about national security and failed to internalize—or fund—a broader approach that encompasses threats not just from intercontinental ballistic missiles and insurgencies but also from cyberattacks, viruses, carbon emissions, online propaganda, and shifting supply chains. There is no more poignant example than the current administration’s failure to grasp that a tourist carrying home a virus can be as dangerous as a terrorist planting a pathogen. President Barack Obama’s national security staff left a 69-page playbook for responding to pandemics, but President Donald Trump’s team ignored it, focusing instead on the threat of bioterrorism.”
[End]
Go read the whole thing. It’ll scare the pants off of you.
There is an object lesson in this for William Barr. That object lesson is that, while elections most certainly do have consequences, inaction on rank criminality by the Department of Justice has massive consequences of its own. Barr has had almost two years now to start holding people accountable for the selling of U.S. foreign policy to the highest bidding donor to the Clinton Foundation that occurred from 2009-2013, and has not done a damn thing. His record on that aspect of his job is exactly the same as that of the worthless Jeff Sessions, in fact.
The only publicly-apparent action Barr has taken related to the Clinton criminal enterprise has been to shuffle the deck chairs, moving the files collected by do-nothing U.S. Attorney John Huber over to John Durham’s operation, which thus far appears to be a black hole where crime committed by the DC Swamp’s protected class goes to die.
Thus, if America wakes up one day in November with Gropey Joe McNastyFinger having selected the Coughing Crook to sell the Pentagon to the highest bidder, we can look to William Barr and his refusal to act as having been the great enabler of that horrific prospect.
That is all.
The whole premise is ridiculous.
Hillary just released a statement about paring back acquisition of F-35's in favor of a larger buy of B-21 long-range bombers.
Wasn't just a "passing thought" - of course everything she says and does has intent.
“ The whole premise is ridiculous.”

Well, we are in ridiculous times; a 78 yr old man with dementia running for POTUS on the Democrat ticket.
Yes it is ridiculous. Barr cant be letting this go on much longer? Joe DiGenova WTF
The more people read this stuff, the more votes President Trump gets.
all of alleged “law enforcement” in NY and FIB
should be in jail for covering up
-— and allowing, permitting, encouraging to CONTINUE -—
trafficking of children and adults for rape and murder
for profit by the usual suspect(s).
there is NO reason this should have been ignored
for YEARS. NONE.
I understand the vote getting but justice is justice.Barr has to be under house arrest at the justice dept.
Thanks for the full article, which was a great read.
Trump needs to point this out some. Not obsessively as he tends to do, because people are sick of the whole subject, but get the word out.
You mean if the GOP retains control of the Senate, they would not take the opportunity to deep six her nomination?
HA..! (snort) Maybe in another universe, not this one... :)
Big landslide coming, followed by a YUGE housecleaning.
All the people fired so far will be back in power when Biden wins. Strocyk, Page, Brennan, Clapper, Rosenstein, Lerner...al of them, and looking to exact retribution upon all of us.
What is not ridiculous is that Barr and Durham are a couple of Deep State traitors aiding and abetting fellow criminals and traitors in the Deep State.
Durham the ahole with that Civil War-era beard and tough-guy wannabe face, sitting around playing footsie with these communists.
Hillary wants to be SoS.
The Clinton Coffers must be getting bare.
The confirmation hearings would be mighty interesting. Doesn’t the Secretary of Defense have to qualify for a security clearance?
It was really just a reiteration of what she’s been doing. All out war on America.
Big landslide coming, followed by a YUGE housecleaning.

BINGO! That is precisely why every patriotic Republican, Democrat, and Independent should be committed to voting for President Trump, even if it’s necessary to CRAWL on hands and knees to their polling location. Literally hundreds of Deep State traitors must be dragged out of the D.C. SWAMP or America is DOOMED!!

That damn sure is the way it looks to me! And the execution of traitors has always been one of the most important functions of the sovereign state.
All out war on America.

That’s a damn fact. And another fact is that the execution of traitors has always been one of the most important functions of a sovereign state.
