Over the Hillary above the law to the White House we go
The Washington Post Tuesday predicted that Hillary Clinton will get away with having her State Department email server with top secret and classified emails in her home. The Post says that “so far investigators have found scant evidence tying Clinton to criminal wrongdoing.” Federal employees who handle classified information have told The Daily Jot that they would be in jail if they did what Clinton did. Clinton is the cat with more than nine lives surviving dozens of scandals. From Whitewater to insider trading of pork bellies to Travelgate to Vince Foster to Clinton Foundation money laundering to Benghazi to the email server, Clinton escaped prosecution. But her Teflon slickness may not be just happenstance.
The Washington Free Beacon revealed an interesting fact about Clinton’s campaign contributions. About $75,000 have poured into Clinton’s campaign coffers from employees at the very agency in charge of deciding whether there should be charges filed against Clinton. Justice Department employees have donated an actual $73,437, 12 of those donations were $2,700, the maximum individual amount allowed by law. Now that may not sound like much, but compared to her comrade Bernie Sanders, who only received $8,900 from Justice Department employees, it’s a lot. Even more when one considers that Donald Trump only received $381 from Justice Department employees. What does this tell us?
At the very least, Clinton has some friends in high places at the Justice Department. So much so that eyebrows have been raised among Washington watchdog groups. President of the watchdog group Citizens United, David Bossie, told the Washington Free Beacon, “I’m not surprised in the least to see more evidence that shows the politicization of the Justice Department…How can Democrat political appointees fairly investigate someone who is about to become their nominee for president? That’s why last July I called on Attorney General Lynch to appoint an impartial special counsel to investigate the private Clinton email server.” More DC insiders are jumping on the bandwagon for an independent counsel.
The Free Beacon says that former US Attorney Matthew Whitaker, who directs the watchdog group Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, also called for a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton. But the Washington Post thinks Clinton will walk free. It is like the burden of Habakkuk 1:3-4 is upon us, “For plundering and violence are before me: and there are those that raise up strife and contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and justice does never go forth: for the wicked does surround the righteous; therefore perverse judgment proceeds.” Over on the Hill, Hillary appears to be above the law. The ballot may be the only justice she receives, if that is even an accurate measure of the people’s will these days.
