Scandals force Hillary Clinton to delay 2016 bid announcement
The Washington Times ^ | 03/25/2015 | S.A. Miller

Posted on 03/25/2015 7:45:37 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Many of the key figures cited in a scathing inspector general’s report this week are allies of Hillary Rodham Clinton, marking the latest in a series of stumbles for the former first lady and secretary of state that likely forced her to delay her planned presidential campaign announcement.

A Democratic strategist familiar with her team’s thinking said they are scrambling to limit the damage and readjust the campaign rollout schedule after the Homeland Security Department’s inspector general revealed an apparent cronyism scandal that ensnared Mrs. Clinton’s brother, Anthony Rodham, and two of her political confidants, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and former Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell.

My heart bleeds. What's the matter Hildabeast, your new war room hasn't figured out how to address your most recent lies?

in my opinion,She is a political whore — but even worse, she authorized stinger missiles be given to Isis to fight Qaddafi’s air force. She tried to buy them back on 911 in Benghazi and they sexually mutilated Stevens , burned down the CIA head quarters there and TOOK THE MONEY estimated to be 38 million dollars. She is a traitor and a liar. She should be arrested not elected.

They depend on the ADHD of the low information voters and ‘squirrels’. She will be back.

Clinton’s Bag Man should be in jail, not in the VA Governor’s mansion. I gag everytime I think about it.

There clearly is a train of scandals.... the trick is for her handlers to choose the lull between two, wide enough to fit the announcement in. Only, these lulls are getting shorter and shorter.

Better the panicked scramble of her strategic damage control team, than the never ending panic and scramble of Americans doing four to eight under her presidency.

This has to be the end of her. How do you cheerfully announce a run when all hell is breaking loose under your feet and indictments hailing down on your head, a brother running amok picking pockets off your name and with your underlings at the expense of poor off Haiti, your husband tied to Epstein, enjoying 10 private plane trips to you-know-where among them, and this being just the beginning.

She can’t run.

You are so right. I can’t believe she isn’t locked up until she rots away. This is all the Dems have to offer and its a sin to try and foster her onto this great country. Dam, fair is fair, look at her husband, he is nothing or McAuliff, hes a nothing also and yet the people of Virginia allowed him to claim the governor office. What in hell is this country coming to?

Anthony Rodham, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Edward G. Rendell.

Three wicked losers.

First time I’ve heard this. When did this come out?

I have a long standing bet with my best friend that Hildebeast will never announce. That was before all the scandals started rolling out on a weekly basis.

How do you come on TV and announce you are running for President with a straight face when there are oversight hearings too numerous to list here? The rumors are flying fast and furious that the ecstasy Island mess is about the hit the fan with Billy Jeff and the underage girl. Even Trump alluded to it at CPAC.

Even with the drive by’s running interference I just don’t see a path for her.

STOP IT!

She stood down just as she was asked to do in 2008 for this moment in time. Do not rob her of what’s rightfully hers.

Statistically, you have a pretty safe bet. There are several issues here: the email business, the foundation being manipulated into a business operation for the Clintons, the Saudi connection, her health (remember the glasses after the fall), and her age. Her one legit attempt was in 2007/2008....she got beaten by a no name guy who appeared out of thin air.

I agree. The appearance of cronyism and incompetence seems to be increasing. More people in her circle are going to be included in the scandals. The one service she is providing is, she is keeping the other potential candidates from entering while she frets on the sideline trying to figure out what to do.

Hillary has a nastiness about her which is palpable. Her contempt for the little people is her greatest fault.

Hitler liked dogs but hated people. Hillary likes neither.

The saving grace is her telomeres are ticking down and time is on our side, yes it is!
