No doubt some reading here will accuse me of wearing a tinfoil hat, but I just can\u2019t help believing that the publicizing of charges against General David Petraeus just before the leak about Hillary\u2019s email problem is more than mere coincidence. Was the Petraeus announcement timed to set the stage so that Hillary\u2019s email manipulations would be viewed as a serious violation of national security punishable by prison sentence and banishment from future federal service? With the revelation of the terms of the Petraeus deal the Obama administration was showing the world that even the mighty can risk jail time and federal banishment. The disclosure that four star general Petraeus had lied to federal investigators can\u2019t but help to set a tone of public distrust of those who serve in our highest offices. <\/p>\n
The close follow-on of the leak of the Hillary email affair meant that her problem became public knowledge at a very bad time for her, when comparisons with Petraeus were inevitable. Now that the White House has thrown Hillary under the bus with a public disavowal<\/a> of any knowledge of her email system and with prominent Democrat strategists like David Axelrod out there on television piling on<\/a> with talk of the severity of Hillary\u2019s transgressions, there\u2019s a dead rodent effluence emanating not from Denmark but from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. <\/p>\n Hillary\u2019s appointment to secretary of state was clearly payback for the Clintons throwing in the towel and getting behind the Obama presidential campaign in 2008. The SoS job had to be a sop offered as a way to enhance Hillary\u2019s chances in 2016, or so the Clinton\u2019s would believe. But anyone who thinks there has ever been any true forgiveness from either the Clinton\u2019s or Obama for the animosities of 2008 has to be a real Pollyanna. So all you amateur Machiavelli\u2019s out there see if you can conjure up a better way to fatally backstab the Hildebeast than to let her serve for four years while ignoring her continual and ongoing violation of all manner of national security protocols only to now, when it can do her the most political damage, leak it to the world all while denying any prior knowledge.<\/p>\n Of course, it\u2019s preposterous that the Obama security apparatus did not know that one of their highest ranking officials was ignoring federal laws regarding national security and was a serial violator of those laws. You can almost hear the smug chuckles coming from the White House as Hillary played into their trap. All federal institutions are subject to periodic security reviews so Hillary\u2019s bizarre handling of federal email traffic had to have been noticed and reported at some time during her tenure by security specialists. That it was allowed to continue could only have been authorized at the very highest level of government and we all know who that is. In a way you have to admire the forbearance of the Obama crowd, observing a patience which demonstrates the truth of that old wisdom, \u201cRevenge is a dish best eaten cold.\u201d<\/p>\n That Hillary has had the albatross of General Betrayus draped on her political shoulders can only be described as delicious irony. To believe that it is mere coincidence would require, \u201cThe willing suspension of disbelief<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
