WSJ OP: Hillary’s Crooked Defense

Even putting aside the question of criminality, we know the following: While in a position of trust, Mrs. Clinton deliberately chose to put American security at risk by setting up her home server. In so doing, she also concealed what should have been public records from the American people. In the year since she’s been found out, almost every public statement she has made in defense of her actions has been exposed as false. And she refused to cooperate with investigators.

In short, this is a woman who never tells the truth when a lie will serve her purposes equally well.

What an extraordinary place this has left her party and her country. Here we are, six months out from the presidential election, and the Democratic nominee is under federal investigation.

It used to be, before the Clintons first moved into the White House, that having no criminal conviction was something that kept you out of prison. But the way Mrs. Clinton and her defenders talk, it’s almost as though it should make her president.

1. Boom

More truth leaks out.

2. True or not, I doubt you will convince any HRC supporter

with a Rupert Murdoch opinion piece.

Even the news side is starting to swing Right.

3. Sure. I am posting it in this group only. I don't dream of convincing any of them. nt

4. Glad this is coming out.

But, is it going to make a difference to her supporters? I'd be surprised if it does.

10. To the deeply partisan ones? No.

The $64,000 question is how much of her support (including superdelegate support) is blindly committed to her. As cynical as we are about party leadership preferring a loss in November to risking a loss of the status quo with Bernie, I believe there are still a lot of Dems out there who want to win, goddammit. And even some of the more calculating ones may be starting to wonder if they can have their cake and eat it, too, and are talking themselves into the idea that Hillary could be replaced with someone who's establishment-friendly yet less scandal-ridden.

5. Keep it coming! Drip...drip...drip.

By July, all the garbage on her should be main stream.

PEACE
LOVE

7. How in the name of sanity

can anyone believe THIS is the best candidate for the general election?

8. The cracks are beginning to show. The OIG report

has sown the seeds of doubt. The FBI may put a hammer to that wall.

9. Thanks for posting some of the text

I sure don't want to sign in or register to receive the WSJ. On the other hand, I heartily endorse what I read today. Mind boggling.
