A View from the Lolita Express

In my posting of earlier today, I neglected to include Bill Clinton among the surrogates for Hillary’s campaign.  The reason for this exclusion is that Bill makes the case for corruption look worse rather than better.  Bill Clinton is embroiled in the Lolita Express scandal, in which he allegedly did not have sex with underage girls aboard a plane that was owned by Jeffery Epstein, a billionaire friend of the Clintons and a registered sex offender.

The way the deal worked was that Bill would dismiss his secret service detail and board Epstein’s plane.  (24 times that we know of) Whatever activity that didn’t take place, didn’t take place over international waters and so a legal case would have to struggle with jurisdictional issues before it could even begin.  It might be that the laws that were not broken were those of the United Kingdom rather than those of the United States, and the UK would decline to prosecute Bill out of concern for the profound diplomatic issues it would raise.

Today, an emaciated and unhealthy looking Bill Clinton attacked FBI Director James Comey for not prosecuting Hillary, but instead only listing the transgressions she was not going to be prosecuted for.  Bill ridiculed Director Comey and minimized the transgressions Hillary engaged in, at the implicit admission of Bill.  Comey was making a mountain out of a mole hill, according to Bill.  Actually, Bill was arguing that Hillary was only a little bit pregnant, since this is a matter of law, not scale.  The question of scale is dealt with at the sentencing phase.

The reason for this extremely aggressive behavior by Bill was to try to bury the email scandal once and for all, at least among the media and the non-kool-aid drinkers among the Democrat Party.  Bill evidently thinks he is strong enough to put away Comey and his accusations and is moving aggressively now to do just that.

Politically, this is extreme dangerous for all concerned.  If the FBI have something on Bill, then they could move against him in retaliation.  However, to move against Bill they would have to have the okay of the Justice Department run by Loretta Lynch (a friend of Bill) in an Obama Administration.  Little likelihood then of that.  If they don’t move against him, and Hillary gets elected, then some heads will roll in the FBI, and perhaps more than heads will roll.

If Trump gets elected, then Bill may have to watch out, or perhaps he is counting on the unwritten rule that a successor administration does not prosecute the misdeeds of the previous administration out of fear of the shoe eventually being put on the other foot.

Anyhow, it is noteworthy that Lolita Bill, potential First Lady in a new Clinton Administration, is moving so aggressively to put away Director Comey and the email scandal.  One wonders what was the calculation behind it.
