Obama’s silent manipulation

From the Washington Times:

With the total of Hillary Clinton’s “potentially classified” emails steadily climbing north of 300, Bob Woodward of Watergate fame recently provided a proper context for the scandal. “It reminds me of the Nixon tapes,” he told MSNBC, my old network but the one that now features more objective commentary by Al Sharpton and Chris Matthews. How their faces must have dropped when Woodward suggested that investigators should “follow the trail” of their front-runner’s emails. Is Hillarygate unprecedented or really just Nixon 2.0?

Of course it was. But a woman so self-serving that she maintained her own email server was also smart enough to avoid being caught in an obvious lie. So hapless Susan Rice was sacrificed in front of the TV cameras while Mrs. Clinton lived on to fight another day, confident that her reputation was intact. And for awhile it was.

But in these pages on Thursday, Monica Crowley raised the fascinating possibility that the prosecution of General David Petraeus was an elaborate set-up. If it was, then “Mr. Obama used the Petraeus prosecution to set the precedent to prosecute Mrs. Clinton: “I’m so sorry about this, but my hands are tied.” Revenge, you see, is a dish best eaten cold.

His real motivation may be payback for Mrs. Clinton's refusal to be front-person for an unsustainable cover-story or narcissistic protection of his alleged legacy. But as Miss Crowley correctly notes, the leaks against Mrs. Clinton and her associates are not accidental. “Mr. Obama is a clever dark knight: he’s not just going after the queen. He’s going after her court, too.” All left twisting slowly, slowly in the wind.

I don't think the Dear Leader could part this scenario. That would require ..... intellect ...... something he has not shown any inkling. The man has been an intellectual lightweight his entire life. His autobiography was ghost written and he has no published articles in the Harvard Law Review.
