Hillary's in a Box...Will Obama Let Her Out?

Hillary Clinton had an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday, admitting there's a lot wrong in America. She "gets it" that Americans are angry -- nothing new in that, it's the mantra of all 2016 candidates. But, Hillary's explanation is unique -- what's wrong with America is the fault of George W. Bush and the Supreme Court -- not a word of blame for President Obama, the real culprit who has driven the national debt to $19 trillion while killing the recovery with Obamacare, excessive energy and environmental regulations, and over-taxation of an economically crippled middle class to pay for a rapidly expanding welfare agenda. Yet, Hillary wants to follow in Obama's footsteps. ~~~~~ Meanwhile, House Intelligence Committee member Chris Stewart said last week he has read Hillary Clinton's 22 withheld top secret emails and has never "read anything more sensitive..." The Republican told Fox News Clinton "absolutely" sent and received the emails, despite her denials, adding : "They do reveal classified sources, and they do reveal human assets. I can't imagine how anyone could be familiar with these emails...and not realize these are highly classified." Stewart labeled Clinton's defense that the emails were not marked classified "ridiculous." He also said there are more emails withheld by the State Department than the 22 the media has reported, and they raise questions about Clinton's legal status : "There's a legal process that will play out, but we have to ask ourselves this question, 'Did Hillary Clinton demonstrate the judgment and respect for protocol that would allow her to protect national security?'" Alluding to her standard self-excuse, Stewart said : "This is not a vast right-wing conspiracy. Obama administration officials told us these emails were so classified they can't be released. This wasn't something coming from the right. It is coming from the current administration. Her argument is not with me but with the President and his administration." ~~~~~ Chris Stewart is a Republican -- but MSNBC and its "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough are as pro-Democrat as it gets. So, when Scarborough commented a few days after the 22 emails were withheld from court-ordered release because they were "top secret" and contained too much highly sensitive information to be released even in redacted form, we might want to pay attention. Scarborough said more "explosive" emails are coming : "A couple people held their breath when we talked about it....Everybody in the government, everybody in the media, everybody that runs anything knows how advanced this investigation is and nobody's telling the American people about it." Bloomberg Politics Managing Editor Mark Halperin, a panelist on the Scarborough show, said : "There's an undefined element in [the Democrat's] campaign...and that's what's going to happen in the Justice Department....you can just sense among Democrats...they're right on the edge of their seats trying to figure out what will happen..." Panelist John Heilemann said Sanders is now talking about Clinton's emails, whereas several months ago, he famously commented during a debate that "the American public is sick of hearing about your damn emails." Heilemann added : "Asked about it a couple of days ago, he said, 'Oh, I don't think it's irrelevant at all, there's a process playing out here.'" Scarborough concluded : "When Bernie Sanders is hearing from top leaders in the Obama administration that this is further along than expected, he doesn't want to be caught saying it's not a big deal and then having the FBI suggest it is." ~~~~~ So, dear readers, while Hillary laughs off questions about the FBI probe, she has good reason to blame anyone but Obama for the mess America's in -- because Obama may finally have to pardon her to keep her out of jail. Obama knows even with no indictment, the FBI report could leak out and destroy her campaign. That may be why he met Sanders in the Oval Office last week and why Joe Biden bundlers are publicly telling potential Hillary contributors to wait because Biden may enter the race.
