FBI: Hillary’s Classified Emails Were Forwarded to… Weiner

Was it really a good idea for the Secretary of State’s classified emails to be forwarded to some guy who was under investigation for emailing dirty pictures of himself to teenage girls? A Secretary of State, moreover, who was trying really hard to become our next president?

Well, that’s what happened, FBI Director James Comey testified today before the Senate Judiciary Committee ( http://www.businessinsider.com/comey-huma-abedin-forwarded-classified-information-to-anthony-weiner-2017-5). No one got indicted, he said, because the FBI couldn’t prove there was any criminal intent.

Just colossal stupidity, I guess.

Presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton had her emails forwarded to former Congressman and out-to-lunch pervert Anthony Weiner, said Comey, so he could print them out for his wife, Clinton’s right-hand gal Huma Abedin. Some of those emails contained classified information. Why Huma couldn’t print them out herself remains a mystery.

Hillary still wants to be president and has indicated that she plans to run again. That, too, is a mystery.

Oh, well–at least the nuclear launch codes didn’t wind up in some teenage girl’s computer.

We think.

There are still people who wish Hillary Clinton was our president.

That’s an even bigger mystery.

A Bit of Political Poetry

This inspired piece of poetry came to me as I was riding my bike today. I am waiting to hear from the Nobel Prize Committee.

Our country would surely be cleaner

Without Mr. Anthony Weiner.

But secrets of State

Have wound up on his plate–

Poor Hillary! He’s gonna bean her!

Are There Any Computers That Don’t Have Hillary’s State Dept. Emails on Them?

Why is this man smiling (if that’s what he’s doing)?

[This is the stuff I refrained from writing about this weekend.]

I write fantasy novels. And if I write ’em too far out, the readers will say “Oh, pshaw!”, or something to that effect, and just stop reading.

So I wouldn’t dare write something like, “And just when it seemed Hillary was home free, hundreds of thousands of her emails turn up in Anthony Weiner’s laptop, where they were found by FBI agents investigating his lewd communications with a teenage girl; and her whole campaign gets derailed by Weiner the Wanker…” Nope, I couldn’t put that in a fantasy novel. It’d be too.. well, fantastic.

And FBI Director James Comey does the equivalent of a man running back into a burning building, after escaping the fire by the sky of his teeth, in shouting from the housetops that he’s re-opening the Clinton investigation–and I’m not sure any of the current explanations of this extraordinary behavior convince me. Back in the summer, he let Hillary skate, gave her a “Get Out of Jail Free” card for activities that anyone else would’ve been imprisoned for… and now he puts himself in harm’s way? Just because his colleagues at the FBI despise him for his cowardice? Because even his wife despises him for it? Because no one at the Justice Dept. will even nod to him anymore when they pass him in the halls? I dunno… I’m just not sure those explanations work.

Maybe John Mortimer (Rumpole of the Baily), Lawrence Sterne (Tristram Shandy), or Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles) could write this. Yeah, I can see it as a Tristram Shandy episode, and practically hear Uncle Toby whistling “Lillibulero” as Clinton tries to shove the whole thing off on The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy and naughty Russian hackers.

But I’m much too timid to write a mess like this!
