“I gave up shame years ago.” Those words from actor John Lithgow appear to have been taken to heart by Hillary Clinton who has severed any sense of self-awareness or shame in her public comments. Lithgow, who played Bill Clinton in Broadway production of Hillary and Clinton, appears to have inspired the subject of his play. In a recent interview, Hillary Clinton heralded the prosecution of former president Donald Trump in Manhattan as “election interference” by keeping “relevant information” from voters before an election. For those of us who criticized Clinton for the funding of the infamous Steele dossier, it was a perfectly otherworldly moment.
In the interview, Clinton went after the Supreme Court for delaying a trial of Trump despite the push by Special Counsel Jack Smith for a verdict before the election. She then left many in disbelief with the following statement:
“And the one going on now currently in New York is really about election interference. It is about trying to prevent the people of our country from having relevant information that may have influenced how they could have voted in 2016 or whether they would have voted.”
In the same election, it was Hillary Clinton’s campaign that lied about funding the Steele dossier and then hiding the funding as a legal expense through then Clinton General Counsel Marc Elias.
The Clinton campaign staff has never been known for transparency. Buried in the detailed account is a footnote stating that Elias “declined to be voluntarily interviewed by the Office.” Likewise, John Durham noted that “no one at Fusion GPS … would agree to voluntarily speak with the Office” while both the DNC and Clinton campaign invoked privileges to refuse to answer certain questions.
Elias, his former partner Michael Sussmann, and the campaign were later found involved in not just spreading the false claims from the Steele dossier but other false stories like the Alfa Bank conspiracy claim.
It was Elias who managed the legal budget for the campaign. We now know that the campaign hid the funding of the Steele dossier as a legal expense.
New York Times reporter Ken Vogel said that Elias denied involvement in the anti-Trump dossier. When Vogel tried to report the story, he said, Elias “pushed back vigorously, saying ‘You (or your sources) are wrong.’” Times reporter Maggie Haberman declared, “Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year.”
Elias was also seated next to John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, when he was asked about the role of the campaign, he denied categorically any contractual agreement with Fusion GPS. Even assuming that Podesta was kept in the dark, the Durham Report clearly shows that Elias knew and played an active role in pushing this effort.
Elias is now ironically advising Democratic campaigns on election ethics and running a group to “defend democracy.” He is still counsel to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) headed by Rep. Suzan Kay DelBene, D-Wash. Elias was later severed by the Democratic National Committee from further representation and has been previously sanctioned in federal court in other litigation.
Notably, the Federal Election Commission sanctioned the Clinton campaign for hiding the funding as a legal expense. The Clinton campaign litigated the issue and insisted that the term is broadly used to cover a wide array of payments through counsel. That is precisely what the Trump team is arguing in the Manhattan case.
Lying to the media and hiding the funding was a conscious effort to hide “relevant information that may have influenced” voters. With the help of the media, these false stories were spread throughout the country and later were used to start the Russian collusion investigation.
Famous philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal once declared that “the only shame is to have none.” Hillary has finally achieved that ignoble status. She appears now to have lost even the capacity for shame.
The Uni-Party Mess – SO where We going from here?
Geez, you again! Like the turd in your gene pool! Dang!, If only your father was Mr Ed the Talking Horse instead of Billy Goat!! Must’ve been pretty tough at school!🥴
Lest we forget, Comey decided that although the evidence against Clinton was mountainous of her obstructing justice and perjury, he felt no jury would convict the First Lady and therefore didn’t indict her on multiple counts. Turn the page, Comey as head of the FBI refuses to pursue indictment against her again when the evidence against her is again beyond doubt in the Steele dossier fraud.
See the pattern?!
HRC at the very least should be ordered to reimburse the federal government for every penny her dirty little tricks have cost the taxpayer.
Comey’s inappropriate comments about no (DC) jury convicting on the evidence actually exposed one of the root problems of the fraudulent courts in DC and NY fully visible in the bogus Trump cases: DC juries (and NY metro) do not reflect juries outside of those areas.
In the case of DC, the entire DC Circuit must be dissolved for this reason, and DC home rule removed (same reason). DC was never envisioned by the founders to be a self-governing entity filled with motivated government party workers.
“. . . trying to prevent the people of our country from having relevant information that may have influenced how they could have voted . . .” (HC)
Can you say “HB laptop?”
Can you say an entire administration and media hiding Biden’s dementia, to influence how people vote in 2024?
Can you say downgrading an ‘investigation’ to a ‘matter’?
With the expressed purpose of making sure the voters
didn’t see that she was actually guilty of the crimes?
“And the one going on now currently in New York is really about election interference.” (HC)
It is?
Where in the indictment is that charge?
When during the trial has that charge been adjudicated?
Is that *federal* election interference? If so, Bragg has no jurisdiction.
Is that NY *state* election interference? If so, it’s inapplicable to a *federal* election. And its statute of limitations also expired.
I know. I know. We’re not supposed to ask such questions.
The only thing that matters is that Trump is a bad man. A very bad man. A bad man does not deserve justice.
Strong points, thank you.
Sam — In the USA we have equal justice under law, even for very bad men.
“In the USA . . .”
Except for NY state, Manhattan, DC, and Atlanta — if your name is Trump.

Should we be more insulted that you’d tell flat out blatant lies to our faces? Or insulted that you might actually believe that we’re stupid enough to believe that patent lie like the Soviet Democrats’ Marxist Useful Idiots do (or pretend they do)?
It’s the worn out old “nothing too see here, please don’t believe your lying eyes, move on folks” fairy tale that’s as hollow as a base drum. That’s how they sell their Amerika style of Lavarentiy Beria style of justice.
Unless you’re an Obama official like John Brennan, James Clapper, or Hillary Clinton and you tell bold faced lies to Congress… then you don’t get the justice non-Soviet Democrats get for lying to Congress.
Unless you’re an Obama Attorney General, FBI Director, Special Counsel(s), etc who repeatedly perjured themselves to FISA judges to get fraudulent warrants… then you don’t get the justice that non-Soviet Democrats get for deliberate perjury to judges. You won’t even get scolded, much less justice.
Unless you’re an Obama official or a family member who ignores a Congressional subpoena… then you don’t get the justice that Soviet Democrats serve up to non-Soviet Democrats who refuse to appear for interrogation.
Unless you’re Hillary Clinton or any of her minions who lied to the FBI when interviewed about her illegal servers and unsecured private phones – then you don’t get even charged, much less the justice non-Soviet Democrats get for lying to the FBI. Instead you get the backup lie: “No reasonable prosecutor would indict…”
Unless you’re one of the hundreds of Soviet Democrat street thugs in Pantifa and Black Liars & Marxists who engaged in a day long assault on the White House in an attempt to get at Trump and his family – then you don’t get even charged, much less the justice non-Soviet Democrats get for trespassing, etc on January 6th.
But… nothing to see here readers, please don’t believe your lying eyes. Oh…. and… Orange Man Bad!
This shows trial isn’t about “not divulging” relevant information as the information isn’t relevant nor do we even know it to be true. Either way there is no obligation for political candidates to provide a list of ex girlfriends and sexual partners.
