This is absurd. All evidence would seem to indicate that
Hilary Clinton did not do anything wrong.
On July 6, FBI Director James Comey said there was no reason to
prosecute, and went on for fifteen minutes about how Hilary is awful because
Clinton. On July 8, Comey contradicted
himself in his testimony before Congress, when he admitted that none of the
thousands of e-mail exchanges Hilary Clinton turned over to the FBI were
actually marked classified. Oops, my
mistake. Two were marked classified by mistake, as in they did not need to
be marked at all. So much for extremely
careless.
But the story will not die
though. Bad stories never do, especially
stories about the Clintons. The Clintons
are the most scrutinized political couple in history, ahead of only Rhaegar
Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. The source
of this scrutiny is always the same: Republicans carry it out with the help of
a willing news media. It does sell
clicks. We call it the Clinton Rules:
the normal rules of evidence do not apply, any innuendo, rumor, or drug-fueled
imagining is worthy of investigation, assume guilty until proven innocent, make
damn well sure to bite and hold. Don’t
believe me? I do not need to prove it,
because the press does a fine job for me.
Jonathan Allen admitted it on Vox last
year! How many scandals have the
Clintons been involved in over the last two decades? What were the consequences? So far, the only prosecution in all that time
was Bill Clinton’s impeachment for lying about an affair. Maybe, just maybe the Clintons keep their perch
and come out of the meatgrinder unscathed repeatedly because they have never
done anything else wrong. I know what
most people are thinking, because they have written it. A lot, they have written. The rules do not apply to the powerful! Rich man’s Justice! JUSTICE! JUSTICEJUSTICE! Is it so utterly unbelievable that someone
powerful is actually innocent? I thought
after someone cries wolf too much, we were supposed to start ignoring the
boy.
