Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree

The plutocracy has decided not to indict Hillary Clinton - and Donald Trump predicted it days before it was announced. So the Republicans are going to have a field day with this fiasco - and right in the middle of a general election.
.

It's going to be an absolute circus, because the GOP knows it's their only chance of winning. They’re going to bring up former President Bill Clinton’s “impromptu” meeting with Attorney General Lynch during the climax of an FBI investigation into his wife, Hillary, and just days before she was interviewed by the FBI. They're going to bring up the fact that President Obama not only endorsed, but began to schedule campaign events with Hillary even before the FBI investigation was complete, and they’re going to bring up the fact that according to a NY Times report Hillary insiders let it be known that she intends to retain AG Lynch as her Attorney General if she's elected president - quite a timely leak.  In addition, there’s the lawsuits currently pending against Hillary and the Democratic National Committee for the election fraud that was allegedly committed against a fellow Democrat, and the Republicans are going to congressional hearings into the FBI investigation of Hillary, giving them access to over a year of FBI reports into her reports into her activities. For those who insist that Hillary's clean so it's no big deal, you should ask yourself why her IT expert, Bryan Pagliano, found it necessary to take the 5th amendment over 125 in a 2 hour deposition. What was he worrying about incriminating himself of? And again, all of this is going to be paraded before the American people right in the middle of a general election - and Hillary already has atrocious disapproval ratings. so Hillary has become a gross liability for the Democratic party.
.

DO WE REALLY WANT SUCH A PERSON AS
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!?

.

And the problem is, Democrats are not going to be able to just fluff this off as just more GOP shenanigans, because this situation warrants the congressional investigation that's sure to come - even I want to know what went on behind the closed doors of this political bureaucracy. And again, I'm sure that the Republicans are going to make absolutely certain that the hearings are scheduled in the middle of the general election.  So with all of that baggage, Hillary Clinton - who was one of the most disliked, and distrusted politicians in America even before this fiasco - is definitely a liability to the Democratic party.
.
Yet, as was reported in a previous article, for months Clinton Supporters have been saying that all true Democrats have a responsibility to the liberal cause, the Democratic Party, and to America to get behind Hillary Clinton in order to prevent Donald Trump from becoming President of the United States. They've been lecturing Bernie Sanders supporters incessantly on how important it is to do the "responsible thing" and put their partisanship aside in support of the bigger picture. Well, now we’re going to see if they were actually sincere in their selfless, and supposedly, single-minded effort to save America, or if it was just a lot of political posturing in an effort to gain support for Hillary.
.
Bill’s behavior alone has given the Republicans something to hang their hats on. When all of these things are combined, this situation could create a furor of Watergate proportions - and in the middle of a national election. It could also destroy President Obama’s legacy. It's shocking that President Obama would even allow himself to be placed in such an untenable position. There are many people in this country who will never look at him the same way again - and that's especially going to be the case after this blows up - and it is going to blow up. The Republicans are going to see to it. So Bill and Hillary Clinton’s irresponsibly reckless behavior could very well throw the election to Donald Trump.

And even though Hillary wasn’t indicted of a crime, if the phone rings in the White House at 3 a.m. in the morning, who in America would want people who have demonstrated such flawed judgment answering it?  I certainly wouldn’t - and in this writer's opinion, anyone who would has become so partisan that they’ve lost touch with reality.
.
Hillary’s reckless disregard for national security is indefensible, and Bill’s recent behavior of dropping in on the Attorney General while his wife was under active investigation, and committing public voter fraud by casually strolling into a polling place in Massachusetts, is grounds to make one wonder if he’s becoming senile. It’s either that, or as a Princeton study indicated, America is no longer a democracy.
.
The study says that America has become so thoroughly taken over by the plutocrats that the average American no longer matters. Maybe that explains why neither Bill, nor Hillary, no longer feel the necessity to hide their reckless behavior. But due to the sibling rivalry between the Republican plutocrats, and the Democratic plutocrats, all of this is about to come out, and in this case, to the gross disadvantage of the Democratic party.
.

.
So the question to be asked of Clinton cultists now is this - how important is it to defeat Trump Now? With all of Hillary's political baggage, along with the fact that her IT expert, Bryan Pagliano, saw fit to invoke the 5th amendment over 125 times in a 2 hour deposition, and then adding to all of that, Bill Clinton's thoughtlessly poor judgment, Hillary Clinton could dump Trump right into America's lap, because there are a lot of people - even Democrats - who are just not going to be able to get themselves to vote for this woman, Trump or no Trump. So should Clinton supporters do the "responsible thing," put partisanship aside, and ask Hillary to drop out for the sake of the nation? If they’re anything other than self-serving hypocrites, they will.
