The most infuriating thing about the negative and confusing media coverage of the ongoing serial “Hillary Clinton’s Emails Part IX” is the fact that the emails in question aren’t even HER’s. This fact hasn’t prevented compulsive liar Donald Trump from lambasting “Crooked Hillary” to his hypnotized, vociferous flock of shrill hatemongers since last Friday. That day’s “October Surprise” from now-embattled (and possibly soon to be prosecuted) FBI director/Trump-flunky James Comey has thrown a hitch into Clinton’s bid for the remaining Undecided voters, especially the ones who just read the headlines and the first two sentences of the explosive story, and automatically conclude that they know everything they have to know about the matter. And Comey’s congressional letter was sent despite his being ordered NOT to by the Justice Department and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
To wit: the new batch of emails DIDN’T EVEN COME FROM CLINTON’S PRIVATE SERVER: they all came from New York congressman Anthony Weiner’s laptop, the separated husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin. You’ll remember Weiner’s infamous name from a few years ago as his adulterous “sexting” of a young woman of his acquaintance became national news. But so many people, when hearing “Hillary” and “emails” in the same sentence just combine the two and make the snap conclusion of “Here we go again”, when in reality nothing could be further from the truth.
James Comey is facing heat from both sides of the aisle for his obviously political move of releasing his missive to Congress reopening a closed case so near to the national elections, in the process breaking all FBI protocols as well as violating the Hatch Act. But he has already succeeded in doing what he undoubtedly intended in muddying the waters in a pro-Trump fashion. What his real purpose was and how/from whom Comey may’ve been influenced is unknown presently. But the fact that Clinton has been continually pressing him to release the email information ASAP instead of nervously hoping the FBI sits on it until after the election once again shows the extreme political nature of this literally-unprecedented move, which has obviously delighted Donald Trump and his hordes of haters while throwing the Clinton campaign into an undeserved state of damage control.
And all this is happening while the FBI, in one of the worst-kept secrets of this hateful election cycle, is withholding all information regarding Trump’s secret ties to Russia and its leader Vladimir Putin until - you guessed it - AFTER November 8th.
But between the nefarious, ongoing and mostly-innocuous Wikileaks email disseminations, along with all the mud splashed over Hillary Clinton throughout 2016 mostly related to 20-year-old various debunked White House “Gates” scandals back when her husband Bill was president and not the candidate herself, once again points up the extreme slope that a woman, ANY woman in America, faces in breaking the glass ceiling. And this includes climbing the ladder in the business world, discrimination in countless workplaces regarding equal pay with men, as well as in the cutthroat political arena that we’re seeing now. Hopefully the many millions of decent Americans who recognize the easily-recognizable ugliness and potential world-threatening dangers of an unthinkable Donald Trump presidency will just ignore this knock-on-wood last salvo from the conservative side, this time embodied in Comey’s self-incriminating dirty trick.
