I'm relieved to see the Trump Team responding aggressively to last week's slew of allegations. In all, seven women came forward to accuse Donald Trump of innappropriate behavior in unrelated incidents covering a thirty-year time span. A simple background review identifies at least four of the women as being actively involved with Democratic politics and another as being a donor to the Clinton Campaign. Unfortunately, it's not possible to erase all the exposure which was allocated to these stories. It would be like trying to return a fart to its originating location, and asking folks to forget the smell. The most important question we should be asking ourselves, is what was accomplished by this circus? Sadly, some voters who may have been undecided will assume that where there is smoke, there is fire, and conclude that Donald Trump is not qualified to be President. What else was was achieved with this well-organized, false, slanderous attack?
As NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, the Wahington Post and the NY Times were running the allegations on a loop, the Wikileaks organization was releasing more emails from John Podesta, the Chairman of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Podesta had previously served as Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton and as a "Counselor" to President Obama. The Clinton Campaign and its allies in the media knew in advance, as we all did, that Wikileaks would be releasing emails this week. More emails will be made available over the next few weeks, but what has already been examined should have been the main story on all the evening news broadcasts. We are discovering why the Obama Administration was so anxious to assist Hillary Clinton in avoiding prosecution. Emails between Podesta and Clinton aide Cheryl Mills remind us that President Obama was also sending emails over unclassified systems. If Hillary goes down, then Obama mght be called to task as well. The emails provide a glimpse into the activities of the Obama White House vis-a-vis the unfolding Clinton email controversy, and reveal collusion between the Clinton campaign and the Obama Justice Department that demand a Special Prosecutor.
The American people were basically kept in the dark about the latest chapter in the email saga. Again, thank goodness for Fox News, the only mainstream news resource that instead of strict editorializing, actually presents both sides to controversial issues. But one against seven are tough odds, even for Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly, Chris Wallace and crew. Last Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were all about the "locker room talk" video, and since then its been a steady stream of allegations, with not a hint of journalistic imtegrity present. Are these the issues that the press keeps telling us that we should be demanding of the candidates? Hillary Clinton's email scandal is an issue that should be discussed, as are her actions as Secretary of State. The allegation of a Democratic activist who claims that, thirty years prior Donald Trump lifted the armrest on her first-class plane seat to grab her breast, isn't. Within seconds I knew this accusation was questionable, because I have flown enough to know that first-class seats have never had moveable armrests. These allegations are so absurd (one claims innapropriate behavior by Trump at a concert that never even took place) that they wouldn't have survived any decent journalist's smell test.
We have not seen the last of the Wikileaks document dump. Rumor has it that we will be hearing about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's efforts to find foreign donors for the Clinton Foundation. We can also expect more details regarding Bill Clinton's "coincidental" meeting with Justice Department boss Loretta Lynch on the airport tarmac in Phoenix ("we spent forty minutes discussing our grandkids"...my quoatations). There is no doubt in my mind that a Quid Quo Pro agreement was discussed between Lynch and Bill, that would ensure no prosecution and the continuation of Lynch's job in a Hillary Clinton Administration. I just can't accept that Bill Clinton is so stupid that he would have taken the chance to meet with Lynch in this manner (they were almost able to keep the meeting secret) unless something truly important was at stake. Keeping Hillary Clinton from being prosecuted is very, very important to these folks. What Hillary Clinton did was against the law. You cannot knowingly create a method of communication that puts the confidentiality of classified imtelligence at risk. She wanted to have her cake and eat it too. The fact that she ordered the destruction of all thirteen of her Blackberries and Cellphones is criminal. Those devices belong to the American people, and at the time of their destruction, the investigation, in one form or another, had begun. Destroying devices and bleaching hard drives has one purpose: to cover up evidence. In this case, I'm sure some of the missing thirty-three thousand emails are involved.
The media has no qualms about agressively disseminating false accusations against Donald Trump; of this we are aware. Be prepared for a daily dose of this garbage. We will do our part by ignoring the media and encouraging our family and friends to vote Republican. The Trump Campaign must also do it's part. Someone has to get Donald in line. You can't respond to false accusations of sexual misconduct by inferring that the reason the allegations are false is because Trump would never have approached such ugly women. Monitoring his Twitter feed would also help. It's going to be a very rough ride, folks, but we must do whatever we can to bring change to DC. I will take an ill-mannered businessman with the right ideas on any day, over a corrupt, life-long politician with Marxist sympathies.
