Hillarygate

"You gotta get with the program if you wanna catch this guy."
--Luther Whitney (Absolute Power)

Consumers of mainstream media last week were largely led to believe that Hillary Clinton made a mockery of the House Benghazi hearing last week and strengthened her presidential position. Judge Nap thinks otherwise.

In particularly, he suggests that Clinton ignored an important audience to the hearings: the FBI and federal prosecutors. That audience was looking for evidence of perjury, misleading statements, and federally defined 'bad acts.' The judge thinks that they found such evidence. He believes that Clinton perjured herself by saying that she didn't know that the US was supplying arms to Libyan rebels. In several related questions, he thinks that she uttered misleading statements to Congress.

In times of trouble, the Clinton family strategy has been to lie as long as possible and hope that a) its mainstream media minions get behind the cause, and b) that the public attention span tires of the process.

Such a strategy ignores the specter of federal investigators who may be unwilling to play along.
