America’s Biggest Losers: The Right’s Commentariat
by Clarice Feldman[AmericanThinker] It’s looking to be a long hot summer, full of violence against Trump supporters, exposure of Clinton wrongdoing, and continued loathsome behavior by the president, academics, and the media. To its shame, at this crucial juncture many of the once-respected members of the right’s commentariat are failing their readers and proving to be America’s biggest losers. Space constraints prevent me from detailing all the wrongdoing of Hillary Clinton and her aides and allies, but here are just some turned up this week. Breitbart reports that it is now clear that Hillary shared the names of covert U.S. intelligence figures on her unprotected server, which had been targeted by “Russia-linked hacker attempts,” jeopardizing their lives and operations. (Compare and contrast her behavior with that of Lewis Libby and the difference in the politicized responses of this administration with Bush’s. Or even with this administration’s response to clear lawbreaking as opposed to scurrilous, baseless claims in the prior administration.) When Bush commuted the sentence of Libby, who had not leaked the name of a covert agent -- and actually he should have pardoned him altogether but failed to -- Hillary was quick on the draw: "This commutation sends the clear signal that in this administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice." Clip and save this should she be indicted and pardoned on far worse conduct -- actually being the source of the leak of real covert agents. The scandals continue to involve the Clinton Family Foundation as well the emails. As Don Surber observes, however, “Press scrutiny -- applies to Republicans, not Democrats.” More at the link Posted by: badanov 2016-06-06 |
