While there is much to be said for the old days of “smoke-filled rooms,” the non-smoking Democratic Party of today and its supporters are certainly doing everything possible to recreate them.
Not only is the entire machinery of the DNC and CNN lined up in lockstep support of the Hillary machine, so has President Obama, who clearly sent a signal that the old fix is in:
…to investigators, it sounded as if Mr. Obama had already decided the answers to their questions and cleared anyone involved of wrongdoing.
The White House quickly backed off the president’s remarks and said Mr. Obama was not trying to influence the investigation. But his comments spread quickly, raising the ire of officials who saw an instance of the president trying to influence the outcome of a continuing investigation — and not for the first time.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. But Ron Hosko, a former senior F.B.I. official who retired in 2014 and is now the president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, said it was inappropriate for the president to “suggest what side of the investigation he is on” when the F.B.I. is still investigating.
“Injecting politics into what is supposed to be a fact-finding inquiry leaves a foul taste in the F.B.I.’s mouth and makes them fear that no matter what they find, the Justice Department will take the president’s signal and not bring a case,” said Mr. Hosko, who maintains close contact with current agents.
Even the Bernie Sanders so-called opposition has rolled over.
Mr. Sanders must be in this race for something, but it can’t be the Oval Office.
A candidate who was in it to win wouldn’t have given Hillary Clinton an assist with her email problem, or ignored her Clinton Foundation entanglements. Mr. Sanders radiates that he is too pure of heart, too sincere a liberal, too focused on “serious issues,” to deign to address Mrs. Clinton’s ethics. He brags that he doesn’t run negative ads; he deplores “political soap opera.” No doubt many of his supporters admire him for that. Mrs. Clinton certainly does. ( Bill Clinton will too, once he stops laughing.)
What a charade.
If I were running the GOP, I’d be envious.

Mrs. clinton represents the democratic party and the voting majority in this country. You don’t understand this because you only here from the minorities when they demonstrate or VOTE! This is called the judith crust effect when all your fwhite friends agree with you so you think the country does. voters are worried about the campaign not her views. now that republicans are going on the record that then benghazi investigation is an attempt to discredit mrs. clinton she now wins the election as 100,000 minority kids turn voting age every month and almost all of them hating republicans! Also 20,000 republicans die each month.
Two potential candidates from a major political party competing on how many free goodies they’re going to shovel at the plebes looks like something out of some third world craptocracy, like Hugo Chavez’ greatest hits. Peronist Argentina. What’s his face from Brazil that Orson Welles destroyed his career making a movie about. Any of these failed assholes. How did we become a banana republic? (republic: a system of government with a written constitution; banana republic: said constitution is turning brown, gooey and disgusting and running all over the fridge and attracting flies)
Keep this shit up and we’re going to get Caesar, good and hard.
The debate was entertaining. The “do black lives matter or do all lives matter?” question was positively Orwellian. It’s as if African Americans aren’t included in the set of all Americans. And Cooperson Ander pointedly asked the question of Bernie who promptly answered korrectly that black lives matter…this after having his old, white, red-diapered ass handed to him by BLM thugs a couple of months ago. He wasn’t going to make that mistake again, dammit! [Of course since Vermont is officially the Whitest State in the Union, perhaps Bernie hadn’t actually talked to a black person until recently.] Old Bernie seems to like the really, really white places like Denmark and Norway. None of that messy racial diversity stuff in those countries, or Vermont. It’s so very easy to come to a consensus about welfare programs and the taxes to pay for them when everyone pretty much looks, talks, and thinks just the same. Vermont state slogan: We’re Just One Big Extended Family.
After Sanders, Cooperson asked O’Malley the same question. O’Malley—to his credit—sidestepped the question after his embarrassing BLM apology a couple of months ago. But what was telling was Cooperson changing to question [@ 9:55] to spare Her Highness from answering it. It was almost as if Cooperson was under orders from his Time Warner overlords to shield Her from uncomfortable questions. Crazy talk, I know, to think that a television network would be in the bag for a particular candidate for the presidency.
Typo: @5:55
