Liars vs. Truth-Tellers

Is Trump As Crazy As Hillary Is Corrupt? Democrats denounce Donald Trump for what he says, while ignoring what Hillary Clinton actually does. (AP) 7/8/16

Election 2016: They say actions speak louder than words. But Democrats and the media who lampoon Donald Trump for what he says, give Hillary Clinton a pass for what she actually does.

Democrats are certainly not alone in denouncing Trump. Even many Republican leaders and conservative pundits are quick to distance themselves from the GOP candidate's often outlandish statements on immigration, free trade and more. On several occasions, this editorial board has also taken Trump to task for his irresponsible comments and misguided policies.

But where is the outrage on the left for Hillary Clinton's long list of corrupt and hypocritical actions as a so-called 'public servant' who claims she is "working for us'?

FBI: Hillary Clinton Lied To Us
Democrats are celebrating Clinton's victory in having the FBI decide not to prosecute her, while ignoring what the investigation into her emails actually found.

FBI Director James Comey noted that Clinton:
·       Lied about turning over all her work-related messages as required.
·       Had classified information on her private email server, in violation of the law.
·       Lied about why she chose to ignore State Department policy and use private email.
·       Was "extremely careless" in exposing national security data to potential hackers.

In declaring Trump unqualified to be president, Clinton has said "the consequences of his statements are not only offensive to people but are potentially dangerous."

If that is true, how does it not follow that Clinton's "extremely careless" actions as Secretary of State make her even less qualified to be commander-in-chief?

Clinton Lied About Benghazi
For days after the Benghazi attack, Hillary Clinton claimed -- and directed UN Ambassador Susan Rice to also state -- that the terrorist incident was caused by a video. Her own emails and telephone transcripts prove she was lying.

On the very night of the attack on the U.S. consulate, Clinton sent an email to her daughter Chelsea, saying "two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an Al Qaeda-like group."

On September 12, the day after the attack, Clinton spoke with the Egyptian prime minister, telling him "we know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest," according to a summary of the call by State Department Public Affairs Officer Lawrence Randolph.

Yet on September 16 -- two days after the bodies of the victims were returned to their families in the U.S. -- Clinton had Rice go on five different Sunday shows to still maintain that the attack was caused by a video.

More Questionable Actions
The list of dubious acts by Clinton while in public positions of authority is a long one.

Did Clinton abuse her position as Secretary of State to raise money for the Clinton Foundation? And why does only 10% of the millions raised by the family foundation actually go to the charities it claims to support?

How does Clinton's $250,000 fee for a one-hour speech (plus expenses, including a private jet and presidential suite) compare to the average CEO pay she deems outrageous?

And, of course, did Clinton really turn $1,000 into nearly $100,000 trading cattle futures simply by reading the Wall Street Journal? Just to name a few.

So while Donald Trump is an easy target for late night jokes, any Clinton supporters with a smidgen of intellectual honesty should ask themselves a question: Is Donald Trump as crazy as Hillary Clinton is corrupt?

Comments

Trump has skillfully crafted his message to “make America great again”.  Most voters know what he is talking about and they know he is right.  If Trump is elected, he will expose the corruption that has been eroding our economy and our freedom.  He will be opposed by the global Marxists and their cronies who are responsible for our current decline. So, if opposing them is “crazy”, so be it.

Hillary should be rejected on her record and her plans. Most voters understand that her election would be a disaster for the country. If “most voters” show up to vote, it will not be for Hillary.
