Hillary Clinton has proven we can’t trust her

Hillary Clinton is not a candidate for today, controlled and funded by the old-time, backroom, political machine of the Democratic National Committee. Using carefully scripted, politically correct, feel-good rhetoric, she makes no specific statements describing her intentions as president, only carefully directed barbs at Donald Trump or his statements.

When Trump recently accused Clinton of using her term as Secretary of State to enrich the Clinton Foundation, she did not deny it, stating instead that the Foundation supports AIDS sufferers. In contrast, she chides Trump, stating that a Trump presidency would bankrupt the country. Wake up, people — with nearly $20 trillion in debt, the USA is already bankrupt!

Clinton verbally espouses her support for women and minorities. In truth, she is exploiting them, not supporting them, a key to her power base. She doesn’t give a darn about the country, only posterity, her goal to satisfy a boast she made to classmates many years ago while attending Wellesley College — to be the first female president of the U.S.

Time after time, Clinton has continually lied about the email scandal while she was Secretary of State, even though the State Department Inspector General substantiated her illegal actions. Why would we elect a person as president with such a demonstrated, flagrant disregard for our national security, likely guilty of malfeasance while in office? Why would our own Sens. Murray and Cantwell, Gov. Inslee, and Rep. Del Bene support a proven liar? What’s in it for them?

FILE — Supporters of President Donald Trump storm the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Jan. 6, 2021. The Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump enjoyed broad immunity from prosecution over official acts has opened the possibility that more evidence in his attempt to subvert the 2020 election could be revealed in public court filings — maybe even before the upcoming presidential election.
