Now that he’s just about exhausted every absurd excuse he can think of for why he had hundreds of classified documents in his office at Mar-a-Lago, disgraced, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump has decided to blame his 2016 Democratic presidential opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Yes, once again he’s trying to blame Hillary.
During a radio interview on Thursday, the one-term ex-president said:
“I think they were looking for Hillary Clinton’s emails. I think they thought, and who knows, boxes and boxes full of stuff. I think they thought…”
The host interjected:
“That you’ve got the goods.”
Trump continued:
“They were afraid that things were in there, part of their scam material because that’s what they are, they’re scammers.”
Yeah, Trump has Hillary’s emails, but he was sitting on them. He wasn’t going to release them, but the FBI came and got them. That’s so logical, huh?

Donald Trump is terrified. It’s quite obvious by the crap he’s been posting on his failing Twitter imitation, Truth Social.
The disgraced ex-president is now suggesting that FBI agents need to stage a revolt and overthrow the leadership of the agency because what Hillary Clinton did in regard to classified information was much worse than the crimes he’s suspected of having committed.
When are the great Agents, and others, in the FBI going to say “we aren’t going to take it anymore,” much as they did when James Comey read off a list of all of Crooked Hillary Clinton’s crimes, only to say that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute. The wonderful people of the FBI went absolutely “nuts,” so Comey had to backtrack and do a FAKE INVESTIGATION in order to keep them at bay. The end result, we won in 2016 (and did MUCH better in 2020!). But now the “Left” has lost their minds!!!
Who has lost their mind? Is it the left, or is it the deranged senior citizen yelling into the internet ether as if doing so will somehow save his ass now that his crimes have risen to the level of espionage and treason?
Also, that call for revolt by FBI agents is likely yet another crime that can be added to the growing list of offenses the Justice Department can seek an indictment for.
Just hours after Fox News announced they would refuse to cover any of the televised public hearings from the House Select Committee on the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has gone viral with a tweet she sent out suggesting that the network is actively engaged in sedition.
For those unfamiliar with exactly what the word sedition means, here’s a definition:
“Incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.”
According to the New York Times, Fox’s decision to ignore the hearings clearly makes them an outlier:
“(Fox) anchors have held a dim view of the committee. Mr. Carlson called the committee ‘grotesque’ on his program on Monday night, and Mr. Hannity has called the group of five Democrats and two Republicans ‘fake’ on his 9 p.m. show.”
Sounds like classic psychological projection on the part of the Fox hosts, doesn’t it?
The move by the right-wing “news” network prompted Clinton to eviscerate them on Twitter, with a posting that quickly went viral:
Fox News won't air the January 6 hearings because they prefer their sedition made fresh on-site.
Others then joined the debate and also pilloried Fox.
Fox News ran 1,098 primetime segments on Benghazi from the day of the attack until the committee hearings, which they carried live for more than 7 hours.
Today they announced they won’t cover the hearings on the January 6th insurrection.
If a journalist calls Fox News a news organization they are deliberately lying https://t.co/JX0udv7Qz1

Says a lot about Fox News's priorities that the network has decided to air Tucker Carlson's show instead of a bipartisan Congressional hearing on the Jan 6 attack, a violent attempt to stop the certification of a free and fair election https://t.co/af4ltmWVDR
Keep in mind that Fox (and it’s prime time hosts) had absolutely no compunction about repeating lies about how the 2020 presidential election had been “stolen” from Donald Trump, even going to far as to suggest that voting machines had been manipulated to guarantee that Joe Biden was the victor.
Fox has backed off the election conspiracy theories since a massive $2.7 billion lawsuit was filed by Smartmatic, an election technology company which claims it was defamed by the lies told on the network. A judge ruled in March that the lawsuit will move forward, despite Fox’s asking for it be dismissed, according to Vanity Fair:
A New York judge said much of Smartmatic’s $2.7 billion defamation case against the network can proceed. There is “substantial basis” for the claim “that, at a minimum, Fox News turned a blind eye to a litany of outrageous claims about [Smartmatic], unprecedented in the history of American elections, so inherently improbable that it evinced a reckless disregard for the truth,” Judge David Cohen wrote in a 61-page ruling.
Sedition and defamation. Sounds like that’s what Fox needs to have as part of their on-screen graphics. It’d be the first time they’ve ever told the truth about anything.
Earlier today, Russia retaliated against the United States for its imposition of sanctions for their invasion of Ukraine three weeks ago.
Mediaite notes that there were some familiar names on the list of Americans the Kremlin decided to ban from Russia:
“In response to a series of unprecedented sanctions prohibiting, among other things, entry into the United States for top officials of the Russian Federation, from March 15 of this year, the Russian ‘stop list’ includes on the basis of reciprocity President J. Biden, Secretary of State A. Blinken, Secretary of Defense L. Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff M. Milley, as well as a number of department heads and prominent US figures,” the statement said.
Also on the list is former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton, who took the announcement in good humor with this Twitter posting:
I want to thank the Russian Academy for this Lifetime Achievement Award. https://t.co/4og9S3OCEp
Congratulations! The contrast is pretty stark. Russia isn’t banning any Republicans, certainly none of the ones who visited back in July 2018. @SenShelby@SenJohnThunehttps://t.co/JNzLJV4zCE
For most of the week, Fox News has been in a full-blown lather on the topic of how Hillary Clinton “spied” on Donald Trump, even after he was president.
For example, there’s this bit of verbal dreck that came from Fox host Jesse Watters, who wouldn’t know a fact if it walked up and kicked him in the shin while wearing hobnail boots:
“Durham’s documents show that Hillary Clinton hired people who hacked into Trump’s home and office computers before and during his presidency, and planted evidence that he colluded with Russia.
“Yeah. You heard that right. Hillary broke into a presidential candidate’s computer server and a sitting president’s computer server, spying on them. There, her hackers planted evidence, fabricated evidence connecting Trump to Russia, then fed that doctored material to the feds and the media.”
Yeah. Only problem is, as Mediaite notes, it’s about as factual as what they try to sell you down at the local Scientology center:
(Special Counsel John) Durham’s filing did not show this – at all. What’s more, as New York Times reporter Charlie Savage pointed out, the right-wing media narrative surrounding the filing was “mostly wrong or old news.” Indeed, the Times had reported on it last year.
On Thursday, Clinton even mentioned the entire hullabaloo in a speech she gave to the New York State Democratic Convention:
“Fox leads the charge with accusations against me, counting on their audience to fall for it again. And as an aside, they’re getting awfully close to actual malice in their attacks. But as I said, don’t get distracted.”
Clinton’s use of the words “actual malice” is a clear hint from the former secretary of state that she just might file a defamation lawsuit against Fox, which is already reeling from a massive $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed against the network by Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion has accused Fox of lying about its voting machines.
Trying to play tough guy (which he never has been or ever will be), Wimp Supreme Sean Hannity chided Clinton on his show Thursday evening:
“Malice? Really? It’s called news. Hillary, we invite you to bring it on. It’s from a legal filing. We quoted exactly from the filing that was put in federal court.”
And then something odd happened: Fox went completely silent on the entire Clinton spying conspiracy theory. It was almost like the matter had been wiped from their memories:
In the past six days, John Durham was mentioned 219 times on Fox News, according to TVEyes. But as of 11 a.m. today. his name was mentioned only once by Steve Doocy on Fox & Friends, and it was in the context of Hillary Clinton being asked a question by a reporter.
Hillary threatens a lawsuit and suddenly Fox drops the story like a nuclear potato. Coincidence? Hardly. The network is already facing extinction as a result of the Dominion lawsuit. The very last thing they need is another legal action against them.
Well done, Mrs. Clinton. Thank you for putting a bully in its place.
