How Come Nobody’s Denouncing Hillary?

The latest tape of him bragging about his ability to grope women with impunity sent Republicans scrambling for cover, rescinding endorsements and denouncing him.
I get that. That makes sense.
But why is it that revelations about Hillary Clinton don’t have the same effect?
I mean, show me the one principled Democrat who will stand up and say, “You know what, Hillary Clinton is shady as the Council Oak and I simply can’t vote for Hillary Clinton.”
That person doesn’t exist.
And it’s not like she hasn’t given them plenty of opportunities.
Granted, she’s no Donald Trump, but come on.
She has a track record of shadiness going back to Arkansas.
Let’s recap, in no particular order:
Private email server, deleted state department email, Benghazi,. Foggy Bottom, Sidney Blumenthal, Wall Street speeches, Clinton Foundation, Bosnia sniper fire, Travelgate, Filegate, Chinagate, Giftgate, White House china, Rose Law Firm billing records, Iranian fundraising, 9,800 percent cattle futures trade, Whitewater.
And this isn’t even the full list.
How can you support a person like this?
How can you defend her against all these high-profile scandals?
Whitewater alone was a proven criminal enterprise. Hillary and Bill, using their status as governor and first lady of Arkansas, arranged for investment in Ozark Mountain property and then took huge, illegal write-offs from the losses.
Poor real estate developer Jim McDougal – their partner – died in prison in 1998 over this mess. The Clintons moved into the White House.
Whitewater was 40 years ago and it’s been constant scandals ever since.
And it’s ongoing.
Just last week we heard about the effect the immunity agreements offered to two of Hillary’s top aides had on an FBI investigation.
The FBI wanted to look into the circumstances surrounding the use of BleachBit to destroy Hillary’s state department emails.
BleachBit is a digital deletion program.
But according to reporting in the Washington Examiner, grants of immunity to Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson thwarted the FBI’s efforts to look into the deletions.
From the Examiner:
In a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch Oct. 5, four Republican committee chairmen demanded to know why Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, two witnesses who also served as Clinton's personal attorneys, were granted such expansive protections despite the FBI's awareness that they had participated in potentially illegal activities.
For example, the FBI agreed to limit its search to emails written after June 1, 2014, but before Feb. 1, 2015. By doing so, investigators were barred from looking at emails authored around the time Mills and David Kendall, Clinton's lead attorney, held a pair of conference calls with technology contractor Paul Combetta that immediately preceded his use of BleachBit to erase thousands of Clinton's emails.
The GOP lawmakers noted that, before the FBI signed off on the immunity deals, "it already knew of the conference calls between Secretary Clinton's attorneys and Mr. Combetta, his use of BleachBit and the resulting deletions, further casting doubt on why the FBI would enter into such a limited evidentiary scope of review with respect to the laptops."
Combetta, an employee at Platte River Networks, was also given an immunity deal in order to cooperate with the FBI. Combetta did not admit to destroying records that were already covered under congressional preservation orders until his third interview with the FBI.
Lawmakers also were miffed when they found out the immunity deals for Mills and Samuelson included a requirement to destroy their laptops after agents performed narrow searches on them.
So Hillary’s people deleted emails ordered preserved by Congress and the FBI can’t fully look into it because of its own immunity deals.
Oh well, just another day in the life of Hillary. And not one prominent Democrat seems to care.
Beyond that, it sure seems to me the government and the media are bending over backward to get Hillary Clinton elected.
No matter how shady she is.
