Dem debate: Fierce grilling except for emails, FBI, Top Secret, Benghazi, debt and….

Andrew Malcolm:

Here’s a revealing not-so-little factoid from Thursday night’s PBS Democratic debate in Milwaukee:

Of the 16,000 words uttered by Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and moderators Gwen Ifil and Judy Woodruff, not one of them concerned Clinton’s deepening email scandal. Not one mention of the words email, e-mail, private server or FBI.

Not a single media question or opponent mention of the huge legal cloud hanging over the party’s presumptive nominee. Nor of the ongoing FBI investigation into unauthorized use of her unsecured private email server for government business, including loose handling of Top Secret documents endangering national security intelligence-gathering and covert operations.

Not any reference to the State Department Inspector General’s subpoena to the Clinton Foundation exploring possible connections between foreign government donations possibly trying to curry favor during Clinton’s four-year tenure as Obama’s secretary of State.

Oh, and not a single word either about Benghazi, the murder of four Americans there, the phony video excuse, the lack of rescue or reinforcement attempts and any Clinton responsibility for the well-documented poor consulate security. Nothing on tax or entitlement reforms. National debt.

A complete pass for Hillary Clinton. Whoosh! Home free. Other than that, it was a serious grilling about being female, admiring Obama, taxing the rich more, free stuff and other liberal issues.

Never ask questions you can’t bear to hear the answers to.

When you watch one of these fake debates and you here these candidates complain you have to wonder if they realize which party has been in charge for the last 7 years.

@Mully: Trust me, liberals are not smart enough to figure that out. As Krauthammer accurately pointed out, Bernie is criticizing the current conditions, under Obama, while proposing to do what Obama has been doing.

Liberal operate in a world without context.
