(s)Elections See other (s)Elections Articles Title: The Trials of Saint Hillary The Trials of Saint Hillary (Reuters photo: Brian Snyder) by Ben Shapiro November 2, 2016 4:00 AM Hillary Clintons e-mail scandal is about her corruption, not the FBI directors anti-woman bias. Hillary Clinton is perfect. That, apparently, is the Lefts new line on their nominee. It was one thing to label her a corrupt old crone when she was running against newfangled 1930s near-octogenarian Bernie Sanders. It was another thing to sigh over her foibles when she led Donald Trump by double digits. But in a close election, Democrats have decided to don the blinders: Hillary is a saint. And all who oppose her are angels of darkness. When Hillarys e-mail scandal first cropped up, the Left acknowledged Hillarys dicey relationship with the truth, but praised rival Bernie Sanders for his gentlemanly unwillingness to exploit Hillarys corruption for political gain. Then, when Sanders finally shuffled off into the political sunset, they shifted their narrative: Now, Hillary was being targeted over speculation and innuendo but she had some of that coming, given her decision to set up a private e-mail server. When the FBI effectively closed its original investigation, they could point to FBI director James Comeys supposed rectitude as evidence for their theory that Hillary had made a mistake, but she hadnt done anything criminal. Then, like a zombie rising from the dead, E-mailgate returned: twice as brutal, twice as ugly, and twice as unkillable. Its too late in the election cycle to ward off E-mailgate with some tut-tutting or a wave of the hand. This election is too close for Democrats to simply acknowledge Hillarys corruption, then vote for her in order to stop Trump. No, they must blind themselves to Hillarys corruption utterly, and blind others to it as well. They must spray lye in the eyes of the public to protect Hillarys lies. And so the Left have declared their new enemies: James Comey, and supposed sexism. Parodic New York Times columnist Charles Blow led the way with a column titled Emails, Genitalia and the FBI. Blow now alleges that the election is rigged sound familiar? by nefarious forces beyond Hillarys control. This election isnt in danger of being stolen by Hillary Clinton, Blow says, but in danger of being stolen from her. And why, pray tell, would James Comey, Hillarys heretofore savior, turn on her like a Judas? Because, writes Blow, this is just the latest lifeline being thrown to a Republican candidate drowning in his own ineptitude. Comey must be working for the Trumps. Or the Russians. Or somebody. Senator Harry Reid (D., Nev.), a petrifying political cow dropping, has accused Comey, in full Joe McCarthy fashion, of the same malfeasance. I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that [your] actions may violate the Hatch Act, Reid wrote to Comey. In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government#
#[but] you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information. Reid is now approximately five minutes from brandishing a list of Communists before the cameras, calling for Comeys resignation. And Harry Reid isnt the only one. Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake a woman who once declared that she would let rioters destroy her city because it was imperative to give them room to express themselves called Comey reckless and suggested that hes under pressure and he got shook. Former attorney general Eric Holder, who is still under contempt of Congress, declared Comeys actions absolutely deplorable. Most hilarious, Professor Robin Lakoff of the University of California, Berkeley, labeled the entire enterprise sexist. Emailgate is a bitch hunt, she wrote at Time.com, but the target is not Hillary Clinton. Its us. The only reason the whole email flap has legs is because the candidate is female. Can you imagine this happening to a man? Poster Comment: Emailgate is an attack on women? Who is joking whom? Billary screwed up big time and now it is time to pay the fiddler.
