What America might want to know right now is: how come Hillary
Clinton doesn’t have any legal problems? Why aren’t DOJ investigators examining
the financial records of the Clinton Foundation? You would think somebody would
want to find out how over $120 million of Russian “charitable donations” ended
up on its ledgers around the time that Secretary of State HRC approved the
Uranium One deal — compared to which, Bill Clinton’s $500,000 payment from a
Russian bank for giving a speech around the same time just looks like
walking-around money.
This is not to mention (well, I will) the flow of donations from
Saudi Arabia pending approval of a major arms deal by HRC. Or of myriad other
donations from foreign nationals tendered simply for face-time with the
Secretary. Has any other cabinet officer in US history run a money-gathering
org while serving? I don’t think so. Maybe the arrant selling of influence
right out-front strains the credulity of government auditors. And while we’re
at this, I would like to know how then-FBI director Robert Mueller and
President Obama might have been informed about these activities. Or not?
Mr. Mueller also needs to answer about his relationship with
former FBI director James Comey — he was apparently Mr. Comey’s mentor — while
Mr. Comey needs to answer for his peculiar and probably lawless behavior in
dismissing the investigation around HRC’s private email server — that was not
his decision to make — and the notorious meeting at the Phoenix airport of
former president Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch around the
same time the email investigation under Mr. Comey came to a head.
Now comes the news from Donna Brazille, on-again-off-again
Democrat Party chair, that the primary elections were elaborately rigged by HRC
functionaries to buy control of her nomination. Let’s not even go into the
bidding for the Christopher Steele “dossier” alleging kinky sexual romps in
Moscow by Donald Trump, or the activities in Ukraine of Tony Podesta’s DC
lobbying company — that’s Tony, brother of John Podesta, Clinton campaign
chief, whose emails remain a truffle cache for the rooting dogs of the DOJ, if
they were actually on-the-task.
I write this as a still-registered Democrat myself — though I
consider myself their enemy now, yet hardly a Trump partisan. Are there any
like me out there who would like to see both parties tossed onto the garbage
barge of history? Of course, to say that also means throwing out a cargo of
terrible ideas and beliefs, not just two clown cars of personalities. Identity
politics, zero interest rate policy, American Exceptionalism, endless debt,
nation-building in foreign lands, FASB-157, sanctuary cities, Title IX
coercion, racketeering in health care and higher ed, market interventions,
ambiguous borders… is just some of the cargo that needs to be dumped overboard with
both parties.
Watergate begins to look as quaint and simple as a game of
Chutes and Ladders compared to RussiaGate. Not only are both parties implicated
one way or another in multiple nefarious schemes, plots, and intrigues, but the
Department of Justice and its subsidiary, the FBI, look culpable in a range of
cover-ups and mis-directions. If the DOJ becomes disabled, how does any of this
get resolved?
The whole extravaganza is heading toward a constitutional crisis
that might clean out the system like a Death Wish coffee enema. Sentiment may
arise for Mr. Mueller to step aside, if President Trump doesn’t make the rash
decision to simply fire him. The latter would certainly foment a constitutional
crisis that could include an effort to run Trump over with the 25th amendment.
In the event, we’ll be in a new kind of civil war.
