Discussion for article #234075
If Wallace wants to spell out what’s illegal about what Clinton did then he’s free to quote the law.
The whole “Hillary had Vince Foster killed” thing was just completely unbelievable on every level.
Now, if Lanny Davis showed up suspiciously dead, that shit I would believe.
After 20 years in the public eye all they can come up with is Hillary Clinton used a private email account.
Lanny Davis is an imbecile that the Right loves to trot out whenever there’s a Clinton dust-up. He used to be a regular on the G. Gordon Liddy show attempting to defend Clinton. Liddy loved to have him on because he was staunchly loyal to the Clintons and clearly an idiot.
He can’t and no conservative talking head can because it was not illegal. What they want to do is bloviate about how it MAY be illegal, all without ever really having to take an actually, factual position.
Republicans get to the bottom of Hillary’s email…
If Hillary knows what’s good for her, she’ll go through her purse and desk drawers and deep-six those government issue Lighthouse for the Blind, cheap, plastic “Skilcraft” pens and mechanical pencils. Stationarygate is just about to break!
The strategy of Jeb Bush’s oppo team is clear–it isn’t to make a scandal stick, or even make people credibly believe there is a scandal. It’s to just make them go “Ugh. If we elect her, this is how it’s going to be, day after day, week after week, month after month. Conservatives making shit up and generally acting like a zoo full of enraged howler monkeys and the press playing along because it’s good “content” and they hate the Clintons anyway. I’m already exhausted. So exhausted, I’ll vote for a Republican, because what’s four years of creeping oligarchy and reduction of service and economic chaos and contraction of civil liberty and young men and women slipped back into the country in the dead of night in flag draped aluminum boxes compared to all that drama.”
Their strategy is to make us feel sick dread at the resumption of the Clinton Wars, feel it so much that our stomachs clench up at the very thought of going through another four or eight years of it. And Lanny Davis is the best possible person for them to call upon to drive that point home.
There’s challengin’ confrontin’, questionin’, admissions of ineptness, it’s Sunday
If Clinton wants to show she’s more than a 90’s throwback, they need to keep Lanny Davis off the air as a surrogate.
The smartest move Hillary could make right now would be to keep Lanny Davis off the air. Not only did he throw the Obama administration under the bus, he flat out stated that what Hillary did was wrong (it wasn’t) and that that is ok because it’s not illegal. Wow, seriously, THIS is the guy Hillary is letting defend her in the media?
I’m more than half convinced that he’s going rogue most of the times you see him appear on the teevee to “help” them. His whole con consists of convincing people with money that he’s got influence with powerful people, particularly the Clintons.
Seems to me Wallace was agreeing what she did was not illegal, that was the jackass Huckabee who made that idiotic assertion. Wallace used the word “wrong”, and he is correct on that. For her to wait almost two years after she left office before archiving emails, and then only because she was requested to, was wrong. Not illegal. There is no scandal or crime here. But it was real dumb, and dumb is wrong. She gave the appearance she was hiding something.
Especially people like these:
¨Since leaving the White House, Mr. Davis has built a client list that now includes coup supporters in Honduras, a dictator in Equatorial Guinea, for-profit colleges accused of exploiting students, and a company that dominates the manufacture of additives for infant formula. This month, he agreed to represent the Ivory Coast strongman whose claims to that country’s presidency have been condemned by the international community and may even set off a civil war.¨ NYtimes
The kind of courtier that HRC seems to attract like flies is one of the reasons I’m resistant to her being president.
But then somebody like Walker comes along…
You are like many on here, including myself. I would much prefer an Elizabeth Warren type. But I’ll take Hillary over ANY Republican for sure. She does not get my primary vote, but she will definitely get my general election vote…
Big article from AP in Anchorage Dispatch News this morning subtitled “Governors of Oregon, Alaska have been targets of disclosure requests”. Article is primarily focused on Kitzhaber of Oregon, small part about Palin and Democratic Governor of Colorado Bill Ritter with nary a mention of Scott Walker, Jeb Bush or Rick Perry who used the same private accounts. Jebbie’s got his oppo people working hand in glove with MSM sycophants already it appears.
It was so pleasant when this putz was banished to Central America to defend cartels, mafia lords and corporate crooks…Why is he back fouling the airwaves?
Lanny is loathsome. If he has Hillary’s blessing to represent her on the teevee then that would be a more disqualifying consideration than anything she may have done with her emails.
I f there was any doubt that this email thing was anything but a Rovian witch hunt the exchange between Davis and Wallace clears that up. Total mainstream media Republican bullshit.
