Hillary Clinton's sordid legacy of lies
[NYPOST] Proving that what’s old is new again, here is how the late William Safire began his New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

column of Jan. 8, 1996:

"Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar.

"Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit."

Safire detailed a series of situations where Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
was caught in obvious lies, and there is a straight line to the Hillary Clinton whose shadow hangs over the Michael Sussmann trial in Washington. Once again, Clinton is being exposed as "compelled to mislead" and ensnaring "her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit."

And to think she almost got away with stealing the presidency.

It is in keeping with her history that she is portrayed as the off-stage chief conniver at a trial that is, like her, something of a throwback. Coming six years after the 2016 presidential campaign, the Sussmann trial inevitably carries an air of anti-climax.

After all, we have known since the Robert Mueller report in 2019 that the charge that Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
colluded with Russia was fake news. And we have known for almost as long that Clinton’s campaign secretly funded the smear merchants at Fusion GPS who hired Remington Christopher Steele who fabricated a "dossier" that was long on lies and gossip and short on facts.

#1 It is said that men use power to get sex, and women use sex to get power. In Hillary's case, I'm having lots of trouble figuring out which men thought she was really worth banging, despite Safire's claim of her possessing 'undoubted talent'. It might mean code for 'chrome off a trailer hitch', but I'm just a half redneck; what do I know?

#3 I think she's more an Eleanor Shaw type. She not only wore the pants in the Clinton household, but she knew how to keep them on. Her daughter's resemblance to Webb Hubbell suggests that despite it all, she had needs just like the rest of us.

#5 Our Theodoraof Byzantium . As for me, I agree with the adage that the royal purple is the noblest shroud.

#6 So it took the press 50 years to realize, or admit, what us Minyons knew since Watergate! She has always been corrupt, always believed in feeding America lies, and power is the priority over the well being of our nation.

#7 Most of us didn't need a 6 year long Durham investigation to recognize these people as worthless pieces of kak.
