Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Clinton and Nixon

Recall that Mrs. Bill Clinton worked on the Watergate committee, but was fired for incompetence.


From Cheryl Mills to erase Hillary emails:



Hillary and Cheryl and Huma ought to have one of those seances Hillary used to have with Eleanor Roosevelt's ghost, only this time contact Richard Nixon's ghost and ask about the wisdom of getting in a urination match with a federal judge.

Hillary was fired from the Watergate investigation for stealing and lying - same MO continues today.

Billions disappeared from the State Dept. under Hillary and Billions disappeared from the Haiti relief fund controlled by the Clinton Foundation.

No conscience.

If is wasn't for Judicial Watch, most of the Clinton escapades would never have come to light. Why aren't these people under arrest?

People who fight Hillary tend to commit suicide. Purely coincidental.

That's not true! It really doesn't help to spread these half truths.

Some of them die in medical "irregularities" (James McDougal, Ron Miller), some under odd circumstances (William Colby, Ron Brown), air plane crashes, and several of them have been shot (Mary Mahoney, Vince Foster, Ron Brown(?), and several body guards). (http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/clintonbodycount.htm)

Of course, we don't KNOW Vince Foster committed suicide. The note he left behind was ambiguous. What seems unlikely is that he died in Marcy Park where he was found.

There's nothing to see here. Let's move on.

Fired for also leaking classified information and lying. But her supporters don't care. Bill has been accused of.. wait... I don't have all day. But his supporters don't care.

False.

QUOTE:
A pair of articles published during Hillary Clinton's run for the presidency in 2008, one by Northstar Writers Group founder Dan Calabrese and one by Jerry Zeifman himself, asserted that Zeifman was Hillary's supervisor during the Watergate investigation and that he eventually fired her from the investigation for "unethical, dishonest" conduct. However, whatever Zeifman may have thought of Hillary and her work during the investigation, he was not her supervisor, neither he nor anyone else fired her from her position on the Impeachment Inquiry staff (Zeifman in fact didn't have the power to fire her, even had he wanted to do so), his description of her conduct as "unethical" and "dishonest" is his personal, highly subjective characterization, and the "facts" on which he bases that characterization are ones that he has contradicted himself about on multiple occasions.

'My own reaction was of regret that, when I terminated her employment on the Nixon impeachment staff, I had not reported her unethical practices to the appropriate bar associations.'

'A lifelong Democrat, Mr. Zeifman supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.'

Mr. Zeifman

That's why they're called zombie-lies.

The right wing echo chamber repeats these sorts of stories because it confirms their biases. They prefer to "create their own reality".

And so do you, it seems.

I love the irony. You aren't defending Hillary or denying here criminal action. NO! Instead you are using conflicting quotes to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt. So even if we took your last claim to be the bottom line it is still true that Hillary acted illegally and should have been fired but Zeifman didn't have the power to do it.

To be fair that is pretty much all you can say in defense of Hillary. She lies, denies and blames the other guys and so far has gotten away with it.

"I do not recall" she said under oath 108 times.

False is false. Nothing about the claim has any validity.

I understand now! Anything that criticizes Hillary is false. If it isn't false it must be discredited somehow even if you have to publicly deny the obvious.

No. There are many valid criticisms of Hillary Clinton, but echoing falsehoods is not one of them.
#7.1 Zachriel on 2015-08-09 22:01 (Reply)
Falsehoods!!!

She was removed from the committee for cause.
Zeifman did say what he said.

What falsehoods.

What you are trying to do is cover up her crimes. You do remember the lesson of Watergate is that the coverup is always worse than the original crime.
