Retired President Ronald Reagan was about to be subpoenaed before a Congressional investigative committee of the Iran/Contra Affair, when his lawyer announced that his doctored had diagnosed him with Alzheimer's. It was Bill Clinton who was first to assert that Barry O'bama is not a Natural Born Citizen, and therefore ineligible to hold the office of President. Even if Hillary manages to stay out of prison, she's still not electable.
It's nice to see the propaganda for Hillary's presidential run kicking off so early. Funny, I didn't see her enthusiastic support of the Iraq war on that list.
The story the media chose not to watch unfold was an extraordinary one. The Thompson Committee did a concise job of summarizing what that story was:
âThe president and his top advisers decided to raise money early for his re-election campaign. To accomplish their goal, the president and his top advisers took control of the DNC and designed a plan to engage in a historically aggressive fundraising effort, utilizing the DNC as a vehicle for getting around federal election laws. The DNC ran television advertisements, created under the direct supervision of the president, which were specifically designed to promote the presidentâs re-election
The scandal would have exploded if the media had asked where the money was coming from to pay for the ads and how it was being raised. Again, the Thompson Committee report proves instructive:
âThe president and his aides demeaned the offices of the president and vice president, took advantage of minority groups, pulled down all the barriers that would normally be in place to keep out illegal contributions, pressured policy makers, and left themselves open to strong suspicion that they were selling not only access to high-ranking officials, but policy as well. Millions of dollars were raised in illegal contributions, much of it from foreign sources.â
Hillaryâs role in siphoning money out of Indonesia and the Peopleâs Republic of China to assure her husbandâs re-election would have made the âHouse of Cardâsâ Frank Underwood cringe.
Dick Morris knows where the skeletons are buried. Time will tell whether he has the nerve to unearth them.
