1, November 2016 Clinton’s emails
This has been a historic election with all the
ingredients of a blockbuster movie, hacked emails, mega doses of sexual
explicit revelations, threats to jail Clinton; even Vice President Biden got
into the fray wishing he had the opportunity to take on bully Trump behind the
school gym.
Just
days before the election, FBI Director Comey, plunged the election into chaos
revealing the existence of another trove of emails from Antony Weiner’s
computer which he shared with his estranged wife, Huma Abedin.
“Worse
than Watergate” screamed the hyperbolic Trump. What irony! In 1974, it was
Hillary Clinton who was the rising star in the House Judiciary Committee that
investigated Nixon and prepared the articles of impeachment.
On reflection, there is a false equivalence -
“Emailgate” is no Watergate. It’s true that Clinton has played fast and loose
with her private server and has been less than forthcoming in her responses,
but in contrast her Republican opponent has exhibited appalling human behavior
which is far more troubling.
His
multiple assaults on women (12 and counting) alone should disqualify him from
seeking any public office. If the victims seek justice through the courts,
Trump will be forced to invest a great deal of time and energy to avoid
spending his waning years in a correctional facility. According to a New York
Times analysis, Trump has violated 8 of the 10 commandments which should make
him an absolute pariah with the Conservative
Christian Right.
