Twas the night before The Hearing when all through the House, the Members were rowdy — cheering and clapping and calling for Gowdy. The evidence was strong, the case prepared, waiting for Hillary to take the chair. The media were unsettled, smug in their deduction, that Gowdy would find not a smidgen of corruption. For God’s sake, people, don’t be naive. Rampant corruption occupies The White House and all other levels of the U. S. Federal Government. And nowhere was that corruption more prolific than in the office of Secretary of State under Clinton’s watch. With apologies to shameful media apologists, Hillary broke the law. Witness this fact: she was entrusted with life and death and the Nation’s secrets; she put that information on her private, unprotected server; and then purged thousands of emails and lied about it. Witness the fact that the individual occupying 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue had the temerity to say Hillary made a mistake but not one that threatened the country’s national security. You’re relieved to know that, in addition to his other legendary accomplishments, the POTUS is also an IT expert. Witness the fact that former CIA Director David Patraeus made an email mistake with classified material that cost him his job and a heavy fine. Witness the fact that thousands of ordinary Americans make mistakes every day — driving under the influence, shoplifting, using illegal drugs, committing perjury under oath and evading taxes; and thousands of them are doing time in governmental housing. Witness the fact that Richard Nixon made a mistake by obstructing justice and was run out of town. Witness the fact that dozens of other high ranking elected and appointed officers made mistakes and bit the dust, never to hold office again. Nixon committed a petty crime to compete with political competitors but nothing he did risked lives or compromised his nation’s safety.
Hillary Clinton broke this law:
US Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 101, Section 2076
(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.
You’ve certainly heard of “open and shut” cases. This is one. Not a kernel of ambiguity. But you’re confused. You were under the impression that Hillary Rodham Clinton is running to become President. You might have thought by now she would be busy laundering her orange jumpsuit. Which raise questions: What could be the purpose of a Congressional hearing? If Clinton broke the law, as you did last month doing 75 in a 55 zone, there would be no need of a hearing. Have you figured it out yet? Pay attention, class. When Clinton was not indicted two years ago on multiple charges, the fix was already in. The Hearing today has no intention of honoring and upholding the Law. The Hearing is all about theater, about drama, about Congressmen making a valiant effort to prove they are doing the People’s business. When the dust settles, the evidence will not be conclusive, Benghazi and four dead Americans will be tragic footnotes in history and corruption will continue to metastasize in Washington. Clinton will flash her phony smile to adoring followers and the actors will vacate the Hearing . Exit stage left.
