Why they fear the Clintons?

03 Jul

Tom DiLorenzo may have the answer why the Clintons are the “Teflon couple”

“One of the first of thousands of Clinton administration scandals was that they were caught illegally in possession of hundreds of FBI files of all the Republicans in D.C.  We can assume that these were used by the Clintons to do as much political blackmailing as they could get away with.  There is no reason to believe that they don’t still have this information, and that they have gathered much more, using their vast wealth to have hired private investigators, something they were well known for doing.  When I was asked two months ago at a conference if I thought Hillary would be prosecuted, I said “no,” I expect that she will blackmail her way out of it.”

If Hillary walks…

03 Jul

…any American who is investigated by the federal government or any level of government for alleged criminal behavior can invoke the “Hillary defense”, “I made a mistake and it is time to move on.”  A Hillary administration  would be the most lawless in our history.
