Hillary Forever

There are just a couple of problems with this reprise of 2016’s “lock her up” mania: Clinton is no longer a candidate or an officeholder.


House conservatives demand an investigation — of Hillary Clinton


By Dana Milbank

Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation has won indictments against President Trump’s former campaign chairman and 16 others and has secured guilty pleas from five people, including Trump’s former national security adviser and two campaign advisers.

This can mean only one thing: It is time to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.


Federal agents raided the properties of Trump’s personal attorney, who was paid by corporations seeking to influence Trump and who was reimbursed by Trump for paying hush money to a porn actress.

As a natural consequence of this, it is imperative to probe the dealings of the Clinton Foundation.

Voluminous evidence has emerged showing that Russians and other foreign nationals met with the Trump campaign with offers to help him win the election.

And this leads inevitably to the conclusion that federal prosecutors must look into the Uranium One sale during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

This, at any rate, is the peculiar view expressed by a group of House conservatives Tuesday as they introduced a 12-page resolution demanding that a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate various allegations against Clinton, the vanquished Democratic presidential nominee. They also want this new special prosecutor to look into the circumstances that started the Russia probe, though here, too, they blame Clinton, and to probe the conduct of Mueller and top officials at the Justice Department and FBI, who, as these lawmakers see it, are all hopelessly biased against Trump.

“We need a special prosecutor to investigate the special prosecutor,” asserted Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.).

Rep. Paul A. Gosar (R-Ariz.), joining his fellow conservatives, alleged “an orchestrated campaign against a duly elected government” — namely, Trump’s. “That’s why there’s nothing short of treason for those that actually participated,” he added.

The group of them — 10 men and one woman — tossed in their greatest hits from the Obama years: The “Fast and Furious” gun-running scheme, Anthony Weiner, political targeting at the IRS, Bill Clinton’s tarmac meeting with Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe’s wife getting Clinton-connected money. It’s a wonder they didn’t bring up Benghazi or Monica Lewinsky.

“It’s the scandal of our time, the scandal perhaps of our lifetime,” judged Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).

There are just a couple of problems with this reprise of 2016’s “lock her up” mania: Clinton is no longer a candidate or an officeholder.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
