This morning watched as one Democrat after another, from California Representative Xavier Becerra to New Jersey Senator Corey Booker, took their turns on the various Sunday talk shows. Just about every member of Hillary Clinton's Vice Presidential short list was doing their duty, spouting-off Democratic talking points (the only VP candidate missing was Elizabeth Warren) on NBC's "Meet the Press", CNN's "State of the Union", and ABC 's "This Week". At the top of the list of Talking Points was an announcement that Hillary Clinton would not be censured in any way for the personal email server that she used during her time as the Obama Administration's Secretary of State. Don't misunderstand; Booker and Becerra did not provide any substantiating evidence to their declarations, but both made it apparent that the Justice Department "review" was coming to a close very soon (this week?) and every reasonable person "knew" that Clinton would not face any punishment for what was obviously just another example of dirty politics on behalf of the GOP.
I don't know how many of you were able to see the parade of Democratic political hacks this morning, but I can assure you, each one of those men had been informed beforehand that candidate Clinton was in the clear. This explains the ease in which they announced that for all "reasonable persons" (quotations mine), there was no question that Clinton would avoid accountability once again. As I commented in yesterday's blog post, the issue of an actual indictment was decided long ago, probably in November 2008, when Obama was elected to his first term in office. Obama and his team arrived in DC with a plan to politicize the federal government in a way that would guarantee his Administration would never have to face accountability. Let's face it; Bill Clinton, who is beginning to resemble a rodeo clown, needn't have bothered Attorney General Lynch last week. Lynch's Justice Department never gave serious consideration to indicting Hillary Clinton. For anyone interested, make no mistake. Prior to this corrupt Administration, any government employee who flaunted computer security protocol in this manner would have been terminated and possibly prosecuted, depending on the existence of evidence proving that actions taken resulted in a foreign power to hack into a government server.
I'd resigned myself to the fact that Hillary will once again not be held accountable for her actions some time ago. What caused so much aggravation Sunday morning was the smug, elitist manner in which the Democrat talking-heads referred to the apparent unlikelihood of an indictment. This Administration has become so drunk on its own image, that it doesn't feel the need for discretion. The chutzpah of any average citizens out there to think that Hillary Clinton was judged by the same rules that govern our lives!
I saw something on television today; a replay of the outstanding and heartbreaking Fox News special on the 2012 Benghazi tragedy. This program reminded me of the many young men and women who serve our nation in the Armed Forces, putting their lives in jeopardy every day. I often think about the four men that died that night, about their families, and what amazing young men they were. Then I find myself thinking about Hillary Clinton. This woman has been running for President since the year 2000, when her husband reluctantly surrendered the Oval Office to President-Elect Bush. I think about the one characteristic that makes Hillary so disagreeable to me. She is convinced that the United States can't succeed without her in the White House. The fact that her ego has no limits allows her to justify so much bullshit with a straight face, because she believes her own spin. If Hillary Clinton had defeated Barrack Obama in 2008 and gone on to beat Senator John McCain, she would have made a better President than Obama. I don't believe that Hillary, with her background in law and experience with the Nixon impeachment, would have been so quick to abuse Executive Action, and I also believe she would have made an effort to reign in the national debt. But make no mistake, Hillary intend on being President in 2016, and 2008 no longer registers. Hillary recognizes the changes that Obama has delivered, and as a Democrat, she will toss out her natural inclination to be a moderate and embrace every entitlement program she can find. I see the polls, and I hear CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NPR, and CNBC bashing Donald Trump from morning until night. I realize that Trump is the candidate that they wanted, and that everything is proceeding according to their plan. But I will continue to support Donald Trump, and I encourage every Patriot to wipe the slate clean with Donald, and give him another shot. The thought of President Hillary Clinton in my lifetime, four years after the ultimate sacrifice made by the four heroes of Benghazi, brings tears to my eyes.

Democrats on Sunday talk shows all seem to be aware of the Justice Dept. decision regarding Hillary Clinton's email server.

Bill Clinton coincidentally "bumps into" Attorney General Lynch.
My intention today was to continue my series on Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State for the Obama Administration, but candidate Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, has caused an interruption in my carefully planned schedule. If the news hasn't reached your neck of the woods just yet, Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch had an impromptu meeting aboard Lynch's plane at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. It's apparent that AG Lynch was not expecting the meeting, but you'll have to excuse me if I'm not so quick to believe that Bill Clinton's appearance was "impromptu". For whatever reason, Clinton intended the meeting to be under the radar, and the few journalists who were in the vicinity were ordered not to take any photographs. Bill Clinton is a former President, and Loretta Lynch is the current Attorney General; why would a discreet, unscheduled meeting between the two raise any eyebrows?
Here are the reasons why this meeting should never have taken place. Hillary Clinton, Bill's wife and the Democratic nominee for President in 2016 (in all probability), is being investigated by Lynch's Department of Justice and the FBI. when Hillary was Secretary of State for the Obama Administration back in 2010, she ordered that a separate email server should be located in her home, so that she could ensure better control over personal conversations and information. Unfortunately, this server was not limited to transmitting personal information about the color of underwear the Secretary wanted to wear on any given day. A review of the thousands of emails that were sent on this server include classified information. Simply put, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton purposely mishandled sensitive information. The docking of her server to the State Department system also opened up Foggy Bottom to hacking. Once this story began to develop, Congress smelled a political opportunity, so at least two investigations were scheduled. The investigations have resulted in a few cases of "pleading the fifth" and what would appear to be serious obfuscation. I can't remember the last time that a Congressional Investigation achieved anything more than putting most of the eastern seaboard to sleep; but the politicians muddle through, and after wiping away all the political distractions, it does appear as if Hillary Clinton purposely attempted to subvert State Department security procedures. If the FBI recommends that Hillary Clinton be indicted, Loretta Lynch will make the final decision. When questioned, both Clinton and Lynch claim that their conversation was strictly related to personal matters. At this point, I'm not prepared to call anyone a liar, but I don't think it really makes a difference. Regardless of the topic of conversation, the meeting was inappropriate in the extreme, and not just because of the ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton's personal server.
In fact, from my optic, the server is actually a small fry compared to the other issue being "examined". The huge, influential international beast we all know as "The Clinton Foundation" has also drawn the attention of federal investigators. Do you recall roughly ten years ago when Hillary Clinton claimed poverty on behalf of her family? If my memory serves me correctly, the Clintons had no money because they had to pay legal fees for countless politically motivated court cases and also put Chelsea through college. A quick glance at the bottom line tells me that Bill and Hillary no longer have any financial concerns. Hillary can get as much as $225,000 per speech, and no doubt Bill gets more. The Clinton Foundation really has no connection to the Clinton bank account, at least none that we can find. As self-defined, the Foundation simply assists in connecting donors to appropriate charity and aid programs. Who decides how the money is spent? Is there a black list of governments and persons who are not allowed to donate to the Foundation? One of the reasons that the Foundation has started to draw so much attention seems to be its willingness to take money from questionable donors. Just about every Arab sheikdom has donated money to the Foundation, and why not? Bill Clinton continues to cultivate contacts he made as President, especially in China and the Persian Gulf. The problem is, the Clintons are strong supporters of the LGBT community. The above-mentioned nations are not. In fact, in most of the Gulf States, homosexuality carries the death penalty. Similar discrepancies, along with a number of questionable tax issues, have put the spotlight on the Foundation. In fact, the Justice Department has been looking into some of these concerns. And here comes friendly ol' Bill Clinton knockin' on your door.
With both the Clinton Foundation and his wife under the scrutiny of the Justice Department, Bill Clinton should have stayed as far away as possible from the Attorney General. In fact, he did just the opposite. Was Bill Clinton hoping to have a chummy little chat with a fellow Democrat that would help calm any fears in the Clinton for President camp regarding the possibility of an indictment? This was a terrible mistake by Bill Clinton, even though Attorney General Lynch has publicly announced that she will accept whatever recommendation is made regarding Hillary Clinton and her server. If the FBI does not recommend an indictment, conservatives across the board will point to the Phoenix meeting, arguing reasonably that just because Lynch doesn't overly make the decision herself, it would have been simple for her to reach out to her "team" at the FBI and influence its decision. Let's face it, when has a Democrat ever said no to Bill Clinton? As for the Foundation, everything about this entity bothers me, so I need to do a bit of homework before I comment further.
