THE FALLOUT CONTINUES OVER HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER KEVIN MCCARTHY’S COMMENTS THAT IMPLY THAT THE BENGHAZI INVESTIGATION IS LESS ABOUT BENGHAZI AND MORE ABOUT HURTING HILLARY CLINTON’S ELECTORAL CHANCES. HILLARY HAS CHOSEN IT AS THE TOPIC FOR HER FIRST NATIONAL CAMPAIGN AD, AND THE RIGHT IS TRYING TO MAKE THE CASE THAT SHE IS POLITICIZING THE ISSUE. REPUBLICANS FINALLY ADMITTED IT. REPUBLICAN KEVIN MCCARTHY, SAYING THAT THE COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING BENGHAZI AND CLINTON’S EMAILS WAS CREATED TO DESTROY HER CANDIDACY. EVERYBODY THOUGHT SHE WAS UNBEATABLE, RIGHT?
WE PUT TOGETHER A BENGHAZI SPECIAL COMMITTEE. WHAT ARE HER NUMBERS TODAY? REPUBLICANS HAVE SPENT MILLIONS ATTACKING HILLARY BECAUSE SHE IS FIGHTING FOR EVERYTHING THEY OPPOSE, FROM AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE TO EQUAL PAY.
SHE WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR YOU, AND THE REPUBLICANS KNOW IT. I AM HILLARY CLINTON AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE. I CAN’T HELP BUT MAKE STYLISTIC COMMENTS FIRST.
I LIKE HOW IN ALL THESE ADS WHEN THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE REPUBLICANS, FOREBODING MUSIC. WHEN THEY SWITCH OVER TO HILLARY, LIGHT MUSIC. HAVING SAID THAT, BINGO.
THERE IS NO QUESTION, OF COURSE YOU SHOULD DO THAT AD. SHE IS ALREADY STARTING TO TURN THE NARRATIVE ON THIS. WHAT DRIVES ME CRAZY ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE MEDIA WENT ALONG AS IF THE BENGHAZI HEARINGS WERE NOT TO ATTACK HILLARY. OF COURSE THEY WERE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.
WHAT WAS WHITEWATER? IT WAS TO ATTACK BILL CLINTON. WITH WHITEWATER WHAT THEY SAID IS, THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. BUT WE FOUND OUT MONICA LEWINSKY THROUGH THE WHITEWATER INVESTIGATIONS. THESE INVESTIGATIONS BY THE REPUBLICANS ARE DESIGNED TO ATTACK DEMOCRATS, AND IRONICALLY WHEN BUSH AND CHENEY ARE IN POWER AND THEY TORTURE PEOPLE AND LIE US INTO A WAR AND YOU SAY YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU SEEM TO HAVE BROKEN SOME SIGNIFICANT LAWS, NOT PERIPHERALLY, NOT I AM LOOKING TO INVESTIGATE NOTHING ELSE, THEY ARE LIKE, HELL NO.
LOOK AT ALL THESE INVESTIGATIONS. YOU GUYS DID ALL THE INVESTIGATIONS BEFORE HAND. THEM AND BARACK OBAMA, REFUSED TO PROSECUTE THEM. UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE SOME ASSISTANCE THERE. AND UNFORTUNATELY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ADD EMAILGATE TO IT.
IT FEELS SO MUCH LIKE BENGHAZI BUT WITHOUT THE DEATHS. SO THERE IS NOT EVEN THE BUY-IN THAT MAKES REGULAR PEOPLE SAY, OH MY GOD, PEOPLE DIED. I DON’T KNOW ANY DETAILS — WHICH MAKES A PERSON SEEM LIKE A REPUBLICAN ON THAT INVESTIGATION ñ BUT THERE IS DEATH IN THE BENGHAZI THING.
BUT THIS IS JUST PRIVATE EMAILS, WHICH WE FOUND OUT THAT CHRIS CHRISTIE DID TOO. ALL THESE INVESTIGATIONS HAVE CLEARED ANYTHING — ANY WRONGDOING ON THE SUBSTANCE OF BENGHAZI. DID THEY CALL FOR BACKUP, DID THEY GET THE BACKUP, YES.
ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS PEOPLE WERE WORRIED ABOUT, PEOPLE SAY BENGHAZI AND THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT IN THE WORLD THEY ARE SAYING. DID ANYTHING GO WRONG IN BENGHAZI? OF COURSE, FOUR PEOPLE DIED.
WAS IT SOMETHING THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DID WRONG ON PURPOSE, OR INVOLVED HILLARY? NO, IT IS CLEARLY ESTABLISHED, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO DO THESE HEARINGS. THIS IS THE PART THAT FRUSTRATES ME. IF YOU ARE PART OF THE PUBLIC AND YOU DON’T KNOW HOW POLITICAL MACHINERY WORKS, NO PROBLEM.
THAT IS NOT YOUR JOB. BUT THE PEOPLE WHO COVER POLITICS, THAT IS THEIR JOB. AND THEY ACTIVELY LIE TO YOU.
BECAUSE YOU THINK THERE IS SOMEONE IN WASHINGTON WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE BENGHAZI HEARINGS WERE A POLITICAL ATTACK AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON? NOBODY DOESN’T KNOW THAT. EVERYBODY ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE BEHIND-THE-SCENES TALKS ABOUT GETTING HILLARY THROUGH THE BENGHAZI HEARINGS, DEMOCRATS KNOW THAT. EVERYONE IN THE POLITICAL MEDIA KNOWS THAT, BUT THEY NEVER TELL YOU. BECAUSE I AM NEUTRAL, REPUBLICANS SAY THIS, DEMOCRATS SAY THIS, I TAKE EVERY POLITICIAN AT FACE VALUE AND DON’T QUESTION THEM.
THAT IS YOUR JOB, TO QUESTION THE POLITICIANS AND THE GOVERNMENT. YOU ARE THE WATCHDOG. INSTEAD YOU ARE THE LAPDOG, PRETENDING EVERYTHING IS ON THE LEVEL.

THAT IS YOUR JOB, TO QUESTION THE POLITICIANS AND THE GOVERNMENT. YOU ARE THE WATCHDOG. INSTEAD YOU ARE THE LAPDOG, PRETENDING EVERYTHING IS ON THE LEVEL.
NOW THEY ARE SHOCKED AND CHAGRINED TO FIND OUT THERE IS GAMBLING IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT, RIGHT? IT TURNS OUT THE REPUBLICANS WERE DOING THIS, YOU KNEW IT AND YOU HELPED THEM BY LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EVERY DAY WHILE PRETENDING THAT WAS NOT A POLITICAL COMMITTEE HEARING. IT ONLY BECOMES TRUE WHEN REPUBLICANS SAY IT ON TV. THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WAS ALSO SURPRISED TO FIND OUT — THERE WAS A TAPE RELEASED WHERE A USED CAR SALESMAN IMPLIED HE WAS IN IT FOR THE MONEY. THEY WERE SHOCKED AT CNN.
I THINK THE ONLY POTENTIAL DOWNSIDE IS — OVERALL THE AD WILL DO WELL FOR HER BUT IT STILL LINKS HILLARY AND BENGHAZI. EVEN A QUOTE LIKE, WHERE ARE HER NUMBERS NOW? WHICH SEEMS TO IMPLY THAT SHE IS DOING MUCH WORSE.
SO THOSE ARE SOME POTENTIAL RISKS, BUT OVERALL I THINK IT WILL HELP, ESPECIALLY WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT PAYING ANY KIND OF ATTENTION TO THE INVESTIGATION, WHICH I ASSUME IS ALMOST EVERYBODY EXCEPT FOR FOX. BUT AS I SAID, FOX WILL ALREADY TRY TO TURN THIS AROUND. IT IS NOT THAT MCCARTHY HAS REVEALED THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE PLAYING GAMES WITH MILLIONS IN TAXPAYER MONEY BY TRYING TO WRECK HER POLITICAL CAREER AND CALLOUSLY USING THE DEATHS OF FOUR AMERICANS TO DO SO, SHE IS DOING THE POLITICIZATION. SHE IS JUST TRYING TO DISTRACT US FROM EMAILS.
THAT WILL BE CLEAR IN THIS MONTAGE. HILLARY’S NEW AD FEATURING KEVIN MCCARTHY’S REMARKS ON BENGHAZI. AS WE LEARN MORE FROM HER EMAIL THEM, BIG DONORS TO THE CLINTON FOUNDATION APPARENTLY GOT SPECIAL TREATMENT BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
THIS IS AS I UNDERSTAND IT HILLARY CLINTON’S FIRST BIG CAMPAIGN AD, BUT IT IS ABOUT THE BENGHAZI INVESTIGATION. IS THAT THE KIND OF THING, IN AN IDEAL WORLD, YOU WANT FOR YOUR FIRST CAMPAIGN AD? CHRISTOPHER, WILL IT HELP? HER PROBLEM IS THIS WILL CONTINUE BECAUSE THE EMAIL IMPROPRIETY IS THERE, THE PAY TO PLAY IS THERE, AND THE BENGHAZI FACTS WILL KEEP COMING OUT WITH THESE EMAILS. CAN A SIMPLE AD — WHETHER YOU BLAME IT ON KEVIN MCCARTHY AND THE REPUBLICANS OR A VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY — CAN AN AD UNDO THE DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN DONE?
HILLARY CLINTON AND THE ENTIRE CLINTON FAMILY’S THREE MAIN DEFENSES OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS HAVE BEEN EITHER INTIMIDATING THE MEDIA, CLAIMING IT IS A PARTISAN ATTACK, OR SAYING SOMETHING IS OLD NEWS. THEN THERE IS THE EMAIL FROM GEORGE SOROS DEMANDING SWIFT ACTION, REALLY, FROM THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT. THAT CAME OUT IN THE LATEST DUMP OF EMAILS. GEORGE SOROS, THE LIBERAL FINANCIER, BILLIONAIRE, I GUESS — YOU CAN UNDO KEVIN MCCARTHY’S REMARKS IF YOU WANT, BUT THIS SOROS EMAIL LOOKS PRETTY DAMAGING.
AND IT ADDS TO THE COURSE OF PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE UNLESS YOU ARE EXTREMELY WEALTHY IN THIS COUNTRY, CHRISTOPHER, YOU CAN’T GET YOUR VOICE HEARD. THAT IS AMAZING AT THE END THERE. REALLY? I AM SURE REPUBLICANS DON’T DO THAT AT ALL, RIGHT?
THEY DON’T TAKE BILLIONAIRE MONEY AND ONLY FOCUS ON THAT. THAT NEVER HAPPENS. AND I AM SURE FOX NEWS IS TALKING ABOUT THAT 24/7. ONLY ABOUT CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM, BECAUSE THEY POINTED OUT IT IS RIGGED FOR THE WEALTHY. EVERY INVESTIGATION HAS CLEARED HILLARY ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT SHE DID IN BENGHAZI, AND THAT WAS NOT CLEAR IN THE FIRST PLACE.
INSANE REPUBLICANS THINK, WAS IT PART OF A CONSPIRACY TO HAVE THOSE FOUR AMERICANS KILLED? YOU ARE CUCKOO. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CONSPIRACIES. NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. NONETHELESS, WHAT DOES FOX NEWS DO?
THEY HAVE THEIR HOST, THEIR NEWS ANCHOR, TALK ABOUT — IT IS NOT JUST A PUNDIT, THE NEWS ANCHOR, HILLARY IS AT FAULT, AN EMAIL DUMP. FIRST THEY CRITICIZE HER FOR NOT GIVING EMAILS, NOW THAT SHE GIVES THE EMAILS THEY SAY IT IS AN EMAIL DUMP. WHICH ONE IS IT? DO YOU WANT THE EMAILS ARE NOT? SHE IS TRYING TO TRICK US WITH ALL THIS INFO.
THEN HE LIES ABOUT IT ANYWAY AND SAYS NOW THE REAL BENGHAZI FACTS WILL COME OUT. OKAY. THEN THEY PEPPER IN SOROS.
JUST SAY THE NAME SOROS, YOU JUST TURN THEM INTO EVIL WORDS LIKE BENGHAZI, IRS SCANDAL, SOROS, SOLYNDRA IF YOU REMEMBER THAT FAR BACK. WHAT WAS THE SOROS EMAIL? WAS IT BAD? IF IT WAS BAD, THEY WOULD’VE HAD TEXT ON IT ON FOX, LOOK AT WHAT SOROS WANTS.
NO, IT WAS A BENIGN EMAIL. BUT THEY ARE LIKE, WHAT ABOUT THE SOROS EMAIL? WHAT ABOUT IT?
WHAT’S IN IT? OH, NOTHING. AND IF IT WAS SO BAD, WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE. LET’S GET THESE BILLIONAIRES OUT OF POLITICS 100%. THAT FIRST GUY, CHRISTOPHER BEDFORD, I HAD NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.
HE FUCKING SUCKS. HIM AND THE HOST JUST OPEN THEIR MOUTHS AND TALKING POINTS SPILL OUT LIKE CLUMPS OF SHIT. HIS FIRST ANSWER WAS, HILLARY CLINTON, BENGHAZI, EMAILS, FACTS REVEALED, BENGHAZI, EMAILS. AND THE HOST, THE NEWS HOST, JUST STARTS RANDOMLY IDENTIFYING TALKING POINTS AND TRYING TO LINK THEM TOGETHER.
AS YOU SAID, HE EVEN FIT IN THE FINANCIER AS WELL. NO INFORMATION WAS COMMUNICATED. THE NAME OF THE SHOW WAS, “HAPPENING NOW.” AND HAPPENING NOW IS YOU ARE BEING LIED TO, IF YOU ARE WATCHING THAT FUCKING SHOW. THEY PRETEND THAT IS NEWS.
THEY SAY FINE, O’REILLY IS OPINION, HANNITY IS OPINION, BUT THIS IS THE NEWS PORTION OF FOX NEWS. AND FINALLY ON THE DONOR ISSUE, TO ME THAT IS — OF COURSE THAT IS THE MAIN ISSUE WITH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. AND IF YOU WANT TO CRITICIZE HILLARY CLINTON FOR EMAILS WHERE IT APPEARS TO BE SOME QUID PRO QUO BETWEEN DONORS TO THE CLINTON FOUNDATION AND WHAT SHE IS DOING AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT, THAT IS A SUPER SERIOUS ISSUE. YOU WOULD BE VERY RIGHT TO WANT TO AT LEAST — FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WANTED TO INVESTIGATE THAT. WHY IS THAT SO IMPORTANT, SO RELEVANT TO THE PROCESS, YET THE REPUBLICANS DON’T WANT TO INVESTIGATE THAT?
HMM — COULD IT BE BECAUSE IF YOU START TALKING ABOUT DOING FAVORS FOR DONORS, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL NOT COME OUT SMELLING LIKE ROSES? EVEN WHEN IT IS ON HILLARY, EVEN WHEN IT COULD BE THE MOST DAMAGING THING AGAINST HER, THEY ARE LIKE, LET’S GO TO THE FAKE THINGS, BENGHAZI AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT DON’T EXIST, INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT THE REAL ISSUE. BECAUSE WHAT SHE DID, WE DO A LOT WORSE.
SO LET’S KEEP IT REAL THERE.
