The Impeachy Keen Political Posturing of Hillary Clinton

“Hillary Clinton has no one to blame but herself.” 

Although the choking-at-the-podium gaffe was quenched with a bottle of water, a smile and a hug, Hillary Clinton’s speech at the Wellesley College graduation commencement was, as might be expected, self-serving. Despite the endemic purposes behind any graduation commencement invitation beckoning words of encouragement and nuggets of wisdom, Mrs. Clinton chose to implicitly throw President Donald Trump under the bus by using the moment to castigate him and suggest impeachment of his presidency.

In the context of her speech, someone apparently hasn’t come to terms with the humiliating defeat at the 2016 presidential election. What does a desperate person do on borrowed time? She throws rocks at others while her strangely bold pathology perpetuates. View any online footage involving Congressman Trey Gowdy and Hillary Rodham Clinton. It is all there, on full display, pathology and all. Whether anyone is pro- or anti-Trump, the bold-faced arrogance, deception, and irresponsibility of Mrs. Clinton is unmistakable and psychologically stark. Her persona continues to permeate.

On May 24, 2017 the University of Virginia Center for Politics along with Reuters jointly released results from a poll the duo conducted. Among respondents, the results rated “favorability” with respect to past presidents. John F. Kennedy was a clear frontrunner in terms of favor among Americans. Conversely, Bill Clinton did not fare too well, as indicated in the poll’s data:

“The percentage of respondents naming JFK as one of the best presidents in the second half of the 20th century increased from 41% to 53% (Table 3). The numbers for most of the other presidents stayed stable, with the exception of Bill Clinton, whose rankings declined significantly (as shown in both tables 2 and 3).”

Mr. Clinton’s favorability rating plummeted—46 percent in 2012 down to 28 percent in 2017.

Further, even Democrats altered their support:

“In the 2012 poll, while Obama was seeking his second term, 41% of Democratic respondents picked Bill Clinton as the person they preferred to be the next president, while just 10% picked Obama. In the new polling, 38% of Democrats picked Obama while only 11% picked Clinton.”

That is a tremendous alteration among Democrats, compelling wonder about the catalyst(s).

So, why the significant decline? Why the changes in Democrat support? Could it have anything to do with his wife’s presence and all the ominous, suspicious and questionable implications underscoring her words (“What difference, at this point, does it make?”) and maneuvers (selling uranium to Russia)? Some believe so.

With the highly-suspect enterprising surrounding the Clinton Foundation, the Benghazi debacle, the email scandal, uranium profiteering with Russia, chronic denial of issues in the face of evidence, and Bill Clinton’s “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky!” culminating in impeachment proceedings against his presidency…who can blame them, anyone, for changing their minds?

Lately, I’ve read a recurring phrase published among varying online outlets, and that phrase sums it up well: “the Clinton mafia.” In the aggregate, there is tonnage with regard to highly dubious activities with which the Clinton name is attached. As to those whose close ties with the Clintons were ethically or criminally suspect, deaths coincided. Here and there, the body count festered.

Seth Rich is one of the most recent to blast across print media and TV screens, bandying about incredulity as to his exact cause of death. As with many others before, the one real connection to Mr. Rich’s demise is the Clinton enterprise. Seth Rich was the director of voter expansion data for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and was reportedly in contact with the folks at Wikileaks, per a Newsweek expose. Regarding the Seth Rich murder and all its implications, something smells fishy and there is no mackerel in sight.

There is an undeniable pattern of people turning up dead–some declared by law enforcement investigators as homicides. Still under investigation, the latest incident involves a Miami-based federal prosecutor who worked voter fraud cases. Assigned to the Miami field office, the body of Beranton J. Whisenant, Jr., 37, washed ashore on Hollywood Beach, Florida on May 25, 2017. “Trauma” to the head is attached to “preliminary” reports.

Hillary Clinton’s speech at Wellesely compared President Trump to former-president Richard Nixon who, before impeachment, resigned the US presidency after the Watergate scandal broke.

There is a ring of sore-loser in the air. As a friend of mine said, “Dear Hillary, regarding your speech at Wellesley. Richard Nixon wasn’t impeached….But your husband was.”   

As the UVA/Reuters poll indicated:

“Bill Clinton’s worsened public perception may mirror the similar decline of his wife, Hillary Clinton, during and in the aftermath of a brutal, unsuccessful presidential election.”

I have no argument against that statement. For her failed 2016 presidential bid, Hillary Clinton said James Comey was responsible. In a Fox News interview, Congressman Trey Gowdy once coined: “Hillary Clinton has no one to blame but herself” and that she was “the author of her own destiny.” And in that cast of shade, Hillary Clinton still points her finger and blames others. In that light, the US presidency has become an impeachy keen target…the normal order of which is to sway scrutiny away from folks who scurry from truth, covet all their misdeeds, and fester the malignancy of corruption.

Follow the chronicled efforts of the folks at Judicial Watch. Their thrust has been filing a litany of legal briefs with the courts so as to overcome censorship (redactions) and procure complete records of state department correspondence pertinent to the Hillary Clinton email scandal, among other seemingly corrupt activities associated with the Clinton brand.

Many assert US Congress failed in its mission to once and for all quash Hillary Clinton, especially when she was in the hot seat and under oath during the Benghazi hearings. It was and still is disheartening. The argument persists, but she did not get the US presidency.

But, are Clinton’s trumpet blasts for impeachment her way of telegraphing she’d like to sit in thee Oval Office chair?

Implying President Trump, Mrs. Clinton’s Wellesely speech included the words,

“…drumming up rampant fears about undocumented immigrants, Muslims, minorities, the poor, turning neighbor against neighbor and sowing division at a time when we desperately need unity. Some are even denying things we see with our own eyes, like the size of crowds, and then defending themselves by talking about ‘alternative facts.’”

Like she did before Congress, nothing like relying on implication and some ambiguity to appear keen.

Mrs. Clinton added, “You are graduating at a time when there is a full-fledged assault on truth and reason.” That is exactly right, speaker included.

Can’t imagine she’d be cryptic in any way, or about any of her future goals. Can you? Before you consider answering, ponder this telling paragraph from Clinton’s speech:

And by the way, we were furious about the past presidential election of a man whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice after firing the person running the investigation into him at the Department of Justice.”

Yet, wasn’t it Democrat presidential nominee Hillary R. Clinton who practically demanded then-director of the FBI, James Comey, show his entire hand involving an investigation with her name on it?

So much hubbub emanating from the Clinton camp, but we’ll be just fine.
