Sunday, September 6, 2015
Hillary Clinton deigned to go on moonbat TV Friday before a long holiday weekend to offer up an insincere non-apology apology for her latest scandal, involving multiple federal criminal and congressional probes of her email server.
“At the end of the day,” she told Mrs. Alan Greenspan, the wife of one of her husband’s hacks, “I am sorry that this has been confusing to people ….”
Confusing? No one’s confused, Hillary. It’s very simple. You set up your own email system to ensure that the sordid records of the Clinton Crime Family’s billion-dollar pay-to-play shakedowns would never survive to be used as exhibits against you and Bill in a criminal trial. Hillary wanted her own system for the same reason that old-time bookies used flash paper for betting slips — it was easier to destroy the evidence that way.
There’s no confusion whatsoever. If her dumbed-down Democrat non-working-class illegal alien voter base was confused, she wouldn’t be upside down in her favorability ratings, 41-51, her lowest numbers ever.
“(The latest scandal) has raised questions,” she said, on the network where her daughter, Chelsea, was employed as a $600,000-a-year intern. “But there are answers to all these questions.”
The problem is, the answers are all lies, or perjury and obstruction of justice, if she and her henchmen are ever put under oath, which is why they’re all going to take the Fifth, staring with her IT guy Bryan Pagliano.
When the scandal first erupted, Hillary’s minions used to chirp, “There is no smoking gun!”
No thundering protestations of innocence. Not even a muttered, “Not guilty, Your Honor.” Just “no smoking gun.” Aren’t you relieved?
The new line is everything with the email server was “above board,” or “totally above board.” As an explanation, that too is failing — totally.
She used to say that she never sent any “classified material.” Now she says she never sent anything “marked classified.” Perhaps because her aides removed the documenting markings.
But this is only Hillary’s latest “confusion.” Let’s go over the list, a partial list, very partial.
She left the White House “dead broke” — when the Clintons bought their mansion in Chappaqua in 2001, they could only manage a down payment of $855,000 — in cash!
She has claimed that when she was born in 1947, she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the famous mountain climber nobody had ever heard of until he conquered Mount Everest … in 1953.
In 1996, she told Time magazine that “I must say we’re hoping that we have another child.” She was 48 years old at the time.
Lied to the survivors of the Benghazi massacre victims about why those brave Americans were murdered, blaming it not on herself and Obama for overthrowing the Libyan government, but on a Christian Arab.
Claimed in 2008 to have been “instrumental” in bringing peace in Northern Ireland. When American and Irish pols, Catholics and Protestants alike, all called BS, she said they were “nitpicking.”
In 2001, after 9/11, she went on the “Today” show and said that Chelsea had been jogging around the World Trade Center when the Muslim terrorists struck, and that the only thing that saved her was ducking into a coffee shop moments before the attack. Only one problem: Chelsea told a magazine she’d been uptown, four miles away, at the time of the terror attack by Osama bin Laden, whom her father had refused to kill when he had the opportunity.
Hillary said she was surprised when the White House travel staff was fired, until her aides testified under oath that she had ordered them to fire the travel staff.
Hillary said that when she traveled to Bosnia in 1996 with Chelsea, she had to dodge “sniper fire” on the tarmac. You can judge for yourself from the photos of her hugging a little Bosnian girl outside the plane as Chelsea watches.
She has said, “I have many friends.” She confuses employees with friends.
And she never, ever cleans up her act. She truly is royalty — a Bourbon, of whom it was said, they never forget, and they never learn.
On Friday she tweeted out, re: the jailed Democrat county clerk in Kentucky: “Officials should be held to their duty to uphold the law — end of story.”
If she really believes that, it is the end of the story. Because she’s going to jail, and so is her husband, and Barry Soetoro makes three.
But her true feeling is what she has already said of Benghazi: What difference at this point does it make? On Friday she told her hagiographers at NBC, “I now disagree with the choice that I made.”
Which one?
