David Stockman:
On Wednesday’s “CNN Tonight,” Journalist and author Carl Bernstein stated that there would be “very damaging” leaks from the investigation into Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email, and described her conduct as “what she did was an act of recklessness, and entitlement, that there’s no excuse for.”
Bernstein began by stating that in the general election “all bets are off,” including the usual GOP-Dem breakdown as an important factor, celebrity might be more important than ideology, and “TMZ, Drudge, new media, [are] going to have a huge role in this, much more than the usual, fact-based media.”
He further said that GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign had expanded from a “nativist, almost neo-fascist campaign” to when where “there might be a kind of screw you vote, about Washington, about the process, that he could be the beneficiary of.” And that “a lot of Democrats around Hillary Clinton” that he had talked to were “very worried” about running against Trump, and that some “Republican regulars” who were part of the Stop Trump movement he talked to pegged Trump’s chances against Hillary at at least 25%.
Bernstein then said, “[T]he folks around Hillary, who are not the usual Clinton Kool Aid drinkers…they’re worried, they know that their candidate has performed awfully, and that [Democratic presidential candidate Senator] Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has drubbed her.”
He added, that while he doesn’t believe there will be an indictment, “I think there are going to be some leaks that are going to be very damaging to Hillary Clinton.
No indictment?
Sorry Curt but thanks for that bit of news
And how exactly is Carl Bernstein supposed to know this? Has Deep Throat been contacted by Ouija board?
Not quite. What he knows about “leaks” is that a series of bullshit rumors about Hillary Clinton originating with “unnamed but highly reliable sources” will be rolled out as the election approaches. He knows that as surely as he knows the sun will rise on election day.
Here’s another long-shot prediction: Trump will hammer away with the meme that the lack of an indictment is evidence of the suppression of evidence. Only with the election of Trump will we be able to put an end to all the lies, and finally see The Truth Revealed.
