Bill Buckley was once asked what the real Dick Nixon was
like. “Which one,” he responded? “There are about four of them.” There are a
few Hillary Clintons jostling against each other in her capacious public
persona.
The Great Email Spill of 2016 has tossed on the shore a few
dead personas.
Here is current Chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton
presidential campaign John Podesta on his boss in an email to Neera Tanden, a
longtime Podesta friend who also has worked for Clinton: “Speaking of
transparency, our friends Kendall [Hillary’s personal lawyer], Cheryl [Mills], and
Phillipe [Reines, both State Department staffers] sure weren’t forthcoming on
the facts here.”
Tanden: “Why didn’t they get this stuff out like 18 months
ago? So crazy. I guess I know the answer. They wanted to get away with it.” The stuff they didn’t get out was an admission
on the part of Clinton that there were indeed unvetted confidential emails on her
private server. Hillary went to the wall claiming that there were no such items
on her unsecured server.
Podesta: “We’ve taken on a lot of water that won’t be easy
to pump out of the boat. Most of that has to do with terrible decisions made
pre-campaign, but a lot has to do with her [Hillary’s] instincts.”
Tanden: “Almost no one knows better [than] me that her
instincts can be terrible.”
General Colin Powell, the hero of (Desert Storm), an invasion
of Iraq Hillary supported before her most current persona change, has endorsed
Hillary’s candidacy. But the General expressed reservations concerning the
character question in a July 26, 2014
email: “I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I
respect… A 70-year person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy,
not transformational, with a husband still d–kng bimbos at home (according to
the NYP)… Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris. I told you
about the gig I lost at a University because she so overcharged them they came
under heat and couldn’t [pay] any fees for a while. I should send her a bill.”
