n a recent column “One Nation United in Wanting This Election to End” Heather Wilhelm speculates that the record numbers of early and absentee voters in many locales reflects the desire of sane people to stop thinking about the candidates.
Even if Wilhelm is right their respite will be brief. For by the time this issue of Mishpacha is in readers’ hands Americans will find themselves with a new president-elect whom 60 percent of the public believes to be untrustworthy. There is no awakening from this reality.
Each candidate has made only one compelling argument for his/her candidacy: “Look at the other gal/guy.” If Hillary is elected she will likely be recovering from a just recently canceled FBI investigation which is approximately where we left matters when her hubby left office.
Andrew McCarthy a columnist for the National Review who was the lead prosecutor in the first World Trade Center bombing case has advocated that the Clinton Foundation be prosecuted under the RICO statutes as a racketeering operation to trade political access and favor for donations and other lucrative fees and benefits and to circumvent campaign finance laws against foreign donations. Hillary’s private server over which highly classified material was transmitted was a means of furthering the fraud by hiding incriminating evidence from public scrutiny and pesky investigators.
