2016 will go down as the craziest year in American history. With the worst presidential election choices ever, we can now officially add the unthinkable to this year's list of events: The Chicago Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years. Excuse me, while I head to the store to pick up canned goods and water...
Heatstreet:
Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik appears to have given Clinton advisor John Podesta a ‘heads up’ that Hillary Clinton’s State Department emails would be discussed at a House Judiciary Committee meeting, according to a new batch of Wikileaks emails released Tuesday.
The email, from Kadzik to Podesta warns Podesta about an FBI superior testifying to the “HJC,” and of developments in a Freedom of Information Act request for Clinton’s emails.
If you can even assume Hillary has "plausible deniability" from this scandal, explain why she hasn't fired John Podesta? If she had an ounce of integrity, she would.
CNN:
The outcome of the 2016 election won't be decided for another six days, but the topic of impeaching Hillary Clinton if she wins is already a topic of discussion on conservative talk radio.There is only one problem with this: What if Hillary won with a majority of the popular vote? This talk would get immediately flushed, because the Republicans don't have the cajones to uphold the law in the face of a popular election.
Several Republican congressmen have been asked this week about a potential Clinton impeachment if she were indicted as a result of an FBI investigation into her emails; all of them warned of a "constitutional crisis" if Clinton were to be elected.
Their answers mirror what Donald Trump has being saying on the campaign trail. At a rally Monday, Trump warned of the "very possibility of constitutional crisis" and said if Clinton were elected, she would face criminal investigations and possibly a trial.
Texas Rep. Michael McCaul on Fox News Wednesday explicitly mentioned the possibility of impeachment.
"Assuming she wins, and the investigation goes forward, and it looks like an indictment is pending, at that point in time, under the Constitution, the House of Representatives would engage in an impeachment trial," McCaul said. "They would go to the Senate and impeachment proceedings and removal would take place."
Fortunately, that doesn't look like a possibility: In none of the recent polls, even the rigged ones, is Hillary shown with 50% or more of the popular vote.
In summary, if Hillary wins with only a plurality, expect a lot of investigations to plague the beginning of her presidency. Maybe by her second term she will actually be able to do something not related to her criminal activity?
Speaking of bad presidents...
Business Insider:
President Barack Obama delivered an impassioned plea to voters in North Carolina to vote next week and reject the candidacy of Republican nominee Donald Trump.
"We won't win this election, potentially, if we don't win North Carolina," he said during a campaign rally for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. "I hate to put a little pressure on you, but the fate of the republic rests on your shoulders. The fate of the world is teetering."
Obama repeatedly laid into Trump, one sentence after another, saying that he had "no respect for working people," mocking his claim that he has a"good brain," and lambasting the Republican presidential nominee's plan to bar all Muslims from entering the US.Drama queen much?
"What I can tell you is that we can't afford a president that says we should torture people, or that should ban entire religions from our country," Obama said.
The president also raised the 2005 video of Trump boasting about kissing and forcing himself on women without their consent.
"If you disrespect women before you are elected president, you will disrespect women when you are in office," Obama said.
He added: "Imagine what you'll actually do when you have to the power of the Constitution along those lines."
Seriously, if Obama hadn't spent so much of his time trying to undermine the intentions of the Founding Fathers, maybe he wouldn't need to worry about the "power of the Constitution" now? Obama is the latest one in a long line of presidents who have pulled the proverbial teeth from the separation of powers guaranteed by the Constitution, thereby taking our country further down the road towards dictatorship.
Obama, quit crying about what Trump might do, when you already set the table for him. If Trump starts running this country by executive fiat, just look in the mirror for the cause.
