DNC Chair: This E******n Isnt About Hillary Clintons Emails
POSTED AT 10:01 AM ON MARCH 22, 2016 BY JAZZ SHAW
For someone who claims that the Democrats are in the cat birds seat in terms of winning the e******n this fall, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz certainly seems to have a chip on her shoulder. She enjoys going on camera with friendly media outlets and talking about Republican dysfunction and her partys excellent positioning for the general e******n. But if you ask her about Hillary Clintons looming legal problems over her email scandal, her tone changes quickly. Thats what happened this week when she went on Fox News and had the obvious and uncomfortable question put to her yet again.
There is an investigation, period. Schultz continued, I thought she [Hillary Clinton] was right to say she is comfortable, 100% confident that there is no issue there and that she has been completely t***sparent and she handled the email process correctly and according to the letter of the law.
She added, She has released 55,000 pages of emails; This e******n is not about Hillary Clintons emails (Really! Don D.), her opponent Bernie Sanders has said that. Its about whether or not we are going to be able to help people who feel like they are not on the firmest ground right now, have more confidence and be able to make sure they can help their kids be better off and make sure they can make the middle class.
Well, shes at least right about one thing. The e******n isnt about Hillarys emails
yet. But its a rather weak defense to cite Bernie s**k of hearing about your damn emails Sanders as your point of reference. If Sanders had any edge or grit to his campaign style he would be at least obliquely referencing the FBI investigation at every turn. What precisely do the Democrats plan to do if they host a Clinton c****ation in Philadelphia and she winds up being indicted in the following weeks? Thats the sort of headline that doesnt make for very good bumper stickers.
Just yesterday we looked at the position James Comey finds himself in and whether or not he will be dropping such a case at the feet of Loretta Lynch. But Hillary still sounds confident and so does Debbie Downer for that matter. Do they have reason to be? That once again depends on whether or not the President has been talking to his Attorney General about this entire situation. If there was any reasonable chance that somebody would be coming to visit Clinton with an invitation to show up in court, wouldnt the party be edging away from her by now?
It just seems like youd be seeing a lot more support for Bernie Sanders as the safe choice for this fall if they were really worried about it. With all of the news leaking out of the FBI and the various Inspectors General offices it certainly sounds as if the likelihood of an indictment would be at least 50-50 by now, so why take the chance on a candidate who might be immediately disqualified?
Every time I consider that question, however, a second one comes to mind. An indictment is not the same thing as a conviction and the process to get to that point could take many months if not years. Are we now such a partisan country that Hillarys v**ers would show up and pull the lever for her anyway rather than seeing a Republican elected? Some Democrat insiders are already expressing glee at the prospect of a Trump nomination, predicting that it will turn out liberals in droves this November.
The Democrats should probably take a long, hard look at who she picks as her running mate. They might wind up in office sooner than expected.
