“If you’re talking about Hillary Clinton
right now,” an old friend of
mine wrote on Twitter, “you clearly have
no argument.”
Unfortunately for every American, Hillary
Rodham Clinton is very relevant right now.
Listen, I am no one’s idea of a Trump fan.
I didn’t vote for him. And I believe strongly that he should have been
convicted by the Senate in January 2021 and shot into outer political darkness
for his assault on the Constitution and his complicity in the assault on
Congress.
But anyone — either on the anti-Trump left
or the Trump-skeptical right — who thinks that the FBI and Department of
Justice’s credibility can survive in the eyes of the average, normie American
if it prosecutes Donald J. Trump on very, very similar mishandling-of-classified-documents
charges that Hillary avoided with nary a slap on the wrist is naïve to the
point of lunacy.
The FBI better have found that Trump did
something truly heinous with classified documents — like pass top-secret
material to the Saudis to get a LIV Golf tournament at one of his golf courses
or hide the nuclear football under the shoe rack in Melania’s closet — or it
better be playing hardball (Andy
McCarthy’s theory) and actually investigating his 6 January
shenanigans. If this is about enforcing the Presidential Records Act, I have no
problem calling this one of the gravest blunders in the history of American law
enforcement (that didn’t result in anyone dying, like, ya know, Waco).
Worst of all, at least from my
perspective, if the DOJ and FBI are in the process of bungling this situation
by pushing a ticky-tack criminal investigation on Trump — then they have given
an enormous in-kind donation to his renomination and reelection campaigns at
the expense of turn-the-page possibilities like Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, or a
dozen others.
Like it or not, those are the cold, hard
political facts.
“But her emails,” our Democratic friends
have been mocking conservatives for six years.
Yes,
her emails.
