How about that: Among the
14,900 “new” Hillary Clinton emails uncovered by the FBI are 30 or so that
concern the Benghazi attack — the most controversial single episode in
Clinton’s four years running the State Department.

So much for Clinton’s claim
that she’d handed over all her work-related emails. Heck: So much for any
remaining illusion that she even tried to provide a complete record.
But, as someone once asked:
What difference, at this point, does it make? Can Hillary’s “trust deficit” get
any deeper?
In part, that depends on
what’s actually in the emails, which may not be released until the end of
September.
But it also seems to up the
odds that the overall FBI “dump” will have some kind of bombshell. Benghazi’s
been a matter of prime public and congressional interest for the last four
years. If Clinton wouldn’t even make a good-faith effort to hand over
everything on that topic, then she wasn’t trying for full disclosure on any
front.
Bigger picture: This is a
taste of what a Hillary presidency would bring, just as Bill’s did back in the
’90s — endless low-level scandal, occasionally flaring up into something far
larger.
It’s no mystery why. The
Clintons just refuse to play by the rules — whether it’s “renting out” the
Lincoln Bedroom to big campaign donors in Bill’s White House, or giving
preferential access to big Clinton Foundation donors at Hillary’s State
Department.
And when they get caught, they
never, ever just apologize and come clean. Instead, they circle the wagons and
stonewall. Finally they answer the drip, drip, drip of fresh damning details
with chants of “Old news” and “Let’s move on.”
It’s how they’ve rolled for
four decades in the public eye. At 68 and 70, they’re not going to change. A vote for Hillary is a vote for another
tarnished presidency.
You’ve been warned — again.
