News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. June 15, 2018: I hope you will sympathize with me. I deserve it!
I was so, so eager to devote this week’s episode to the Comedy Act that took place in Singapore this week. In fact, I was well into writing that episode. Then what happens just like last week ……
The REAL world destroyed my plans. Now I have two outstanding episodes that deserve to see the light of day that are on the shelf waiting.
Thanks a lot Justice Dept. Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
First an apology – a rare be it minor error with no impact on the theme in Trump’s America last week – flagged by my resourceful sharp-eyed award winning editor but not before the advance copies were sent out.
It is Harriet Tubman of course not Barbara Tubman. Sorry.
Back to current business …
The prime issue is that James Comey is NOT who he wants us to believe he is. And equally troubling yes, the FBI has been driven by political considerations and misdeeds in specific situations in recent years.
So while, as expected over at the Comedy News Network (CNN) they have all comedians on deck today to spin the Inspector General’s report to protect James Comey, Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, Barack Obama, and everyone else involved as Saints who are being persecuted …
The truth is out in the Real World, they just scored Big Points for Donald Trump – both among his base and undecided voters – as well who don’t spend their time being Brain Washed by CNN or Fox News either.
Many Americans, who don’t obsess on all this political stuff and only give it glancing attention; their take away is all the criticism by President Donald Trump about politics at the FBI and even more Trump’s firing of James Comey, will conclude Trump was correct and they are very right!
Which brings us back again to the core story line reflected in all episodes of Trump’s America – certain DEMOCRATS elected Trump President of the United States, an office there is no way he should have WON ever!
Unfortunately, there is one FATAL flaw of omission in the Inspector General’s report which is not a flaw from the perspective of his role. He reviewed the actions of FBI personnel, beginning with Comey. His role is NOT to review “policy” decisions. THIS IS ALL IMPORTANT here.
A so called “policy” decision by Obama’s Justice Dept. was to severely LIMIT their investigation of Hillary Clinton’s clearly ILLEGAL email server in a closet in her house that became HER “official” (sic) Secretary of State’s server for ALL emails in and out while she was Sec. of State.
There has NEVER been a high-level U.S. government official who ever did what she did by turning a personal computer server into her method of conducting all her State Dept. email business. NEVER.
Yes, other officials have used a personal email address from time to time for official business which they never should have done, including Comey. But none of them ever replaced use of a government email servers with their own.
Hillary Clinton was: 1) NOT investigated for illegally conducting State Dept. business with her server; 2) NOT investigated for DESTROYING about 50% of those emails, even, 3) AFTER the gov’t told her to turn them over, and 4) NOT investigate Hillary and Bill for using the State Dept. as a means of promoting and funding the so-called Clinton Foundation.
All so-called FBI Director James Comey ever investigated is did Hillary Clinton use her server for any highly classified emails, a very minor matter compared to the pivotal issues he did NOT investigate at all.
That decision by Comey was considered a “policy” decision and the Inspector General did not look into the so-called policy decisions.
The ALL important point here is that if President Obama’s Justice Dept. had instructed James Comey to investigate ALL of Clinton’s potential crimes, Hilary Clinton would never have been in a position to run for President in 2016, and if not, then Trump would not be President today.
It is beyond dispute; it took Hillary Clinton to elect Donald Trump. With Crooked Hillary and Crooked Donald as the candidates for President, the crooked one who was not a professional politician had the advantage.
A timely sidelight story that also took place earlier today reflects “well” (sic) on the larger issue that binds Clinton and Trump so intimately.
This was this story earlier in the day on our media partner The New York Times Website titled “N.Y. Attorney General Sues Trump Foundation After 2-Year Investigation.” The New York Times states…
“While such foundations are supposed to be devoted to charitable activities, the petition asserts that Mr. Trump’s was often improperly used to settle legal claims against his various businesses…… The foundation was also used to curry political favor, the lawsuit asserts.”
“During the 2016 race, the foundation became a virtual arm of Mr. Trump’s campaign, ” Put another way the Trump Foundation is a criminal enterprise.”
WELL HELLO. That looks very true based on the complaint but which other so called foundation also operates as a “criminal enterprise” in that its purpose and tactics are outside established law? The one and only Clinton Foundation!
Is there any doubt at all that there is only one conceivable reason Hillary Clinton, aided and abetted by Bill Clinton, decided to do what was unprecedented and blatantly and highly illegal make use of a personal email server instead of the required government server for ALL her State Dept. emails?.
And by the way, Obama’s White House did not know. Really?
Is there anyone out there who does not know the answer here? It was so Hillary and Bill could use the State Dept. as a means of supporting and funding the Clinton Foundation without getting caught for doing do so and it worked. 50,000 State Dept. DESTROYED emails from her server prove it!
Unlike Macbeth and Lady Macbeth who are so much like Bill & Hillary Clinton in so many ways, the Macbeths deluded themselves they would get away with murdering Duncan the King. No doubt if there were computer servers back then, they would have done what Bill & Hillary did – use a personal email server, not King Duncan’s, to try and cover their tracks.
In their own way, while Hillary and Bill did not get caught because of corruption in the Justice Dept., they too lost the Kingship they sought – for a second time – when another Evil Brute took that Prize instead of them!
Enter the Witches, the Wicked Sisters yet again ….
Double, double toil and trouble,
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Please let me do next week’s episode about Dictator Kim in Singapore.
