The
Fall of the House of Clinton
Boys and girls, Count Victor presents a berrry, berrry scarrrrrry tale of
political corruption run amok.
By
Victor Davis Hanson in PJ Media
Hillary Clinton will probably
survive her latest ethical disaster. James Carville — of “if you drag a hundred
dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you’ll find” fame
— is back again to pronounce the Clinton Foundation scandal as “diddly-squat.”
He may be right in the political sense. After all, we know the standard
Clinton rescue plan from the past: her aging point-men like Carville, Lanny
Davis, and Paul Begala flood the airways, yelling “prove it!” at their
television hosts and declaring:
- That the accusations are “old news.”
- That the accusers are funded by right-wing conspiracists.
- That everyone does what the Clintons did.
- That the media pick on the Clintons.
- That there is no hard evidence (because they have destroyed documents) that would ever lead to a criminal case. And:
- That they are moving on, to work on behalf of the folks.
Such obfuscation worked well with
Troopergate, Travelgate, Whitewater, the cattle futures scam, Monicagate, the
pardons, and Bill’s serial and sometimes coercive sexual conquests. The
scorched-earth protocol has already largely dispensed with the “what difference
does it make” and “we came, we saw, he died” Libya/Benghazi scandals. That the ex-president of the
United States often flew on a private jet with registered sex-offender
Jeffrey Epstein, known for supplying underage women to his guests, is, as the
Clintons say, “old news.” Hillary Clinton’s serial lies about her email
accounts and the Clinton Foundation shakedowns will likewise fade — despite the
national-security implications of both transgressions for the United States.
So by “Fall of the House of Clinton”
I don’t suggest that a special prosecutor will be appointed to indict Hillary
and Bill for crimes that would likely make the accusations that were once
leveled against Sen. Robert Menendez, Gov. Bob McDonnell, Scooter Libby, Conrad
Black or Dinesh D’Souza look like child’s play in comparison.
This kind of corruption goes back a long way in time. For
examples, research Riady (Indonesia) and Timashev (Russia). Lives are at stake,
so be real careful.
