Crooked Hillary Broke The Law, #NeverHillary, New Mexico Riot, Clinton's Dishonest Attack
by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: BREAKING NEWS: Crooked Hillary Broke The Law!
Okay, so maybe that's not really news. But at least a government agency is finally admitting it.
The State Department inspector general's office has reportedly concluded that Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server violated the Federal Records Act.
This is not an insignificant finding. The Justice Department appears to take the issue seriously, at least enough to have a page devoted to the Federal Records Act on its website, including a section about criminal and civil penalties for various violations.
Whether the Justice Department cares enough to actually enforce the law in this particular case is a completely different matter.
#NeverHillary
Columnist Dennis Prager is a solid, intellectual, pro-Israel conservative whose work is regularly published in conservative journals across America. I am proud to call him a friend.
Yesterday, Prager wrote that while he deeply admires and has worked with many people in the #NeverTrump movement, they have failed to address the reality confronting America. Consider these excerpts:
"Take the 'conscience' argument that one can sleep with a clear conscience by not voting for Trump. I don't find it compelling because it means that your conscience is clear after making it possible for Clinton or any other Democrat to win. . .
"It seems to me that the #NeverTrump conservatives want to remain morally pure. I understand that temptation. . . But if you wish to vanquish the bad, it is not possible -- at least not on this side of the afterlife -- to remain pure. . .
"In the 2016 presidential race, I am not interested in moral purity. I am interested in defeating the left and its party, the Democratic Party. The notion . . . that we can live with another four years of a Democratic president is, forgive me, mind-boggling. To that end, with at least one, and probably multiple, additional leftists on the Supreme Court, a Republican presidential victory in 2020 would mean little.
"All the left needs is the judicial branch, especially the Supreme Court. Left-wing judges pass so many left-wing laws that they render those who control Congress, and even the White House, almost irrelevant. . .
"For these reasons, I . . . could not live with my conscience if I voted to help the America-destroying left win the presidency in any way. I just don't understand how anyone who understands the threat the left and the Democrats pose on America will refuse to vote for the only person who can stop them." By the way, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum has endorsed Trump after "a long heart-to-heart."
Mexican Flag Flies In New Mexico
Donald Trump held a rally in New Mexico yesterday and left-wing demonstrators showed up and started a riot. They harassed Trump supporters, attacked police and waved Mexican flags.
Whether they realize it or not, the rioters are proving the conservative point.
If you want to argue that a particular candidate is undermining American values, engaging in violence at a political event -- attacking free speech -- is the wrong way to make the point.
When left-wing demonstrators wave the flag of a foreign nation, in some cases the flag of the country they left, they are making the point that some people are coming here not out of a great love of America, but with a desire to turn America into something else.
Most Americans don't want our country to be like Mexico. There is a reason so many Mexicans are trying to escape that country.
By the way, there is a lot of winking going on from the left. Last night, "MSDNC" host Chris Matthews dismissed the riot as "low-key violence." When an Albuquerque police officer pushed back, Matthews said, "Well, I don't see anybody with a face bloodied yet, or I don't see any danger to anybody yet."
There was plenty of danger. According to one witness, "rocks were flying through the convention center windows" as people attempted to leave the event. Police reported that several officers were hit. At least one person was arrested.
Seriously? Just a few arrests? If it turns out that officers were ordered to stand down in the face of such violence, the person who gave that order should be fired!
Jim Geraghty at National Review chides the media, writing, "When do violent anti-Trump protesters turn into a major story? No, really, media, you have to start asking questions about the atmosphere of violence and fascism that is cultivated by . . . anti-Trump protesters."
One protestor was holding a sign that read, "F*** Trump, Free El Chapo." Expletives aside, why does the left have such affinity for terrorists and drug lords? Just the other day, Bernie Sanders promised to pardon a convicted terrorist.
Clinton's Dishonest Attack
The Clinton campaign released a new attack ad against Trump yesterday, accusing him of cheering the housing collapse in order to buy property inexpensively. This was a coordinated assault with Clinton surrogates in key states also making the charge that Trump profited from others' suffering.
Trump's response was unapologetic. That is what any smart business owner does -- you buy assets when the price falls.
No one should mistake what Clinton and her allies are trying to do here. They are trying to turn Donald Trump into Mitt Romney, who they successfully branded as a "vulture capitalist."
But it is a very dishonest attack. As Bernie Sanders has pointed out, Hillary didn't have any moral dilemmas about accepting millions of dollars from Wall Street bankers who were bailed out by the taxpayers.
Leading Clinton's charge was Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. But there's just one problem: Warren has also bought distressed properties and flipped them for profit.
And let's not miss the bigger picture here. If Clinton and Warren want to talk about the housing collapse, let's talk about the role big government and left-wing policies played in creating that crisis.
Why did the housing market collapse? At least in part due to left-wing pressure that forced banks to make risky loans.
