Like an ugly wart that defies treatment only to keep reappearing, some people’s troubles just refuse to go away. When individuals lie that there is no wart, it stays prominently in, view. Such is the case of the latest revelations with the ongoing email scandal. Knowledgeable, informed people mostly do not believe, as I don’t, that Ms. Clinton intended to be hacked and all of her personal and classified emails shared with foreign powers. We have indisputable proofs now that the real reason for her actions was to safeguard her criminal “pay to play” game with State Department access for donors through donations to the Clinton Foundation.

The lines between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation were not blurred; they were non-existent. Some staffers at State were also on the Foundation payroll simultaneously – clearly an ethical offense and a violation of written State Department policy. Doug Band, an executive at the Foundation, “assisted” wealthy donors with face time with Ms. Clinton as when he emailed her that the Crown Prince of Bahrain was seeking an audience; he stressed that the Crown Prince was “a good friend of ours.” In fact he certainly was; he donated $5 million to the Foundation, and he is only one of many foreigners who pumped millions into the Clinton money-laundry:

Bill and Hillary’s 2015 tax return shows that the biggest portion of their $10 million income for last year was paid to them by – surprise! – the Clinton Foundation. . for “speaking” fees. When foreign governments and Wall Street bankers “give” six- and seven-figure sums to politicians, they expect something in return: a government appointment, a quashed indictment, a suspended investigation, a no-bid contract, a presidential pardon, etc. This is influence-peddling at its plainest.

The real reason for having a private server instead of an official one is that the fomer being for an individual’s private use is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.

This criminal evasion, followed by repeatedly lying in denying classified data was leaked, followed by destroying thousands of emails [obstruction of justice, a felony], not to mention the actual selling of influence/favors, further compounds her guilt. If these are not sufficient reasons to disqualify Hillary Clinton from the office she seeks, then 2 X 3 = 7, and God help us.

This gorilla is not going away. God bless America.
