5. “Trump is a TV candidate for a TV culture, and I guess we’re past the notion of needing actual evidence of some kind before leveling an accusation.”

   I know, huh? And I can see why a DDA would be especially sensitive to such an unscrupulous tactic.

   Oh, but wait…

    Thomas Sowell: Our Political Predicament — A Big Risk Vs. A Certain Disaster
    THOMAS SOWELL9/19/2016
    FacebookTwitterLinkedInPrintShare Reprints
    There is no point denying or sugar-coating the plain fact that the voters this election year face a choice between two of the worst candidates in living memory. A professor at Morgan State University summarized the situation by saying that the upcoming debates may enable voters to decide which is the “less insufferable” candidate to be President of the United States.

    My own take on this election is that the voter is in a situation much like that of an American fighter pilot in World War II, whose plane has been hit by enemy fire out over the Pacific Ocean and is beginning to burst into flames.

    If he bails out, there is no guarantee that his parachute will open. But even if he lands safely in the ocean, he may be eaten by sharks. If he comes down on land, he may be captured by the Japanese and tortured and/or killed.

    In other words, there are huge and potentially fatal risks. But, if he remains in the plane, he is doomed for certain. To me, Donald Trump represents multiple and potentially fatal risks. But Hillary Clinton is a certainty of disaster. Her vaunted “experience” is an experience of having repeatedly made decisions that turned out to be not merely wrong but catastrophic.

    Binary.

    The Takeaways
    The FBI could not review all of the Hillary Clinton emails under investigation because:

    The Clintons’ Apple personal server used for Hillary Clinton work email could not be located for the FBI to examine.
    An Apple MacBook laptop and thumb drive that contained Hillary Clinton email archives were lost, and the FBI couldn’t examine them.
    2 BlackBerry devices provided to FBI didn’t have their SIM or SD data cards.
    13 Hillary Clinton personal mobile devices were lost, discarded or destroyed. Therefore, the FBI couldn’t examine them.
    Various server backups were deleted over time, so the FBI couldn’t examine them.
    After State Dept. notified Hillary Clinton her records would be sought by House Benghazi Committee, copies of her email on the laptops of her attorneys Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson were wiped with BleachBit, and the FBI couldn’t review them.
    After her emails were subpoenaed, Hillary Clinton’s email archive was also permanently deleted from her then-server “PRN” with BleachBit, and the FBI couldn’t review it.
    Also after the subpoena, backups of the PRN server were manually deleted.
    Even though the FBI did not have a complete record of Hillary Clinton’s emails on three unclassified personal servers, it found:
    2,093 emails State Dept. currently classifies as Confidential or Secret. (State Dept. did not address what their classification was at the time they were sent.)
    193 emails (81 separate email conversations) that were classified at the time they were sent, ranging from “Confidential” to “Top Secret/Special Access Program.”
    68 of the 81 email chains remain classified today.
    8 were Top Secret.
    37 were Secret.
    36 were Confidential.
    7 were Special Access Program.
    3 were Sensitive Compartmentalized Information.
    36 were Not Releasing to Foreign Governments.
    2 were Releasable Only to Five Allied Partners.
    12 of the suspect email chains were not provided by Hillary’s attorneys. The FBI found them other ways.
    The email chains contained classified information from 5 other agencies: CIA, DOD, FBI, NGA and NSA.
    The Players (as they surface in timeline)
    Justin Cooper: President Bill Clinton aide
    Bryan Pagliano: Computer technician from Hillary Clinton ‘08 campaign

    PRN has conference call with Bill Clinton’s staff.
    PRN technician later tells FBI that, at this point, he realized he’d forgotten to shorten Hillary’s email retention (that Mills requested in Dec. 2014), so he now deletes the Clinton archive mailbox from PRN and uses BleachBit to permanently delete files holding the emails.
    FBI says one PRN technician gave three conflicting stories but acknowledged that, when he made deletions, he knew of Congress’ preservation request and knew he should not delete Hillary’s email data on PRN server.

    FBI obtains Pagliano server.
    Williams & Connolly doesn’t disclose that there’s other related equipment, and that Hillary emails had been transferred to PRN server.

21. “Mr. Mayor, in 2012, Donald Trump tweeted ‘half of Americans don’t pay income tax despite crippling government debt.’ He is in that half that does not pay federal income taxes despite crippling government debt. When he rails against the junky infrastructure, when he rails against La Guardia Airport, when he talks about how bridges are collapsing, is he not responsible at least in part for the fact that these things are not being repaired?”

23. UPDATE: It is probably worth noting that Hillary has engaged in some baseless smears in the past, very similar to Trump’s more recent ones.

    Hillary even said in an interview with Vanity Fair that year that a wealthy Atlanta businesswoman had told her about an alleged affair that her husband’s rival, George H.W. Bush, had had with a close aide. It’s all “apparently well known in Washington,” she said slyly. Hillary was referring to Jennifer Fitzgerald, with whom Bush was rumored to have had a romantic relationship for years. “I’m convinced part of it is that the Establishment—regardless of party—sticks together. They’re gonna circle the wagons on Jennifer,” she said.

    The way to deal with that, for Trump and his surrogates, is to point out what Hillary has done in the past — not to engage in baseless smears of their own.

27. TAPPER: “The accusation was that Hillary Clinton was cheating on Bill. That’s what the accusation was.”

    No, Jake. And Patterico is perpetuating it. The statement was: [TRUMP ON VIDEO:] I don’t even think she’s loyal to Bill, if you want to know the truth. And really, folks, really. Why should she be, right?

    Nobody mentioned anything about being ‘unfaithful’– except Tapper. This has been a recurring weakness in him as a ‘journalist’- projecting. Cartooning is more his forte, but then print is dead. “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is,” eh, Jake?

    TAPPER: “That wasn’t about her marriage? Him saying that she’s not loyal to Bill isn’t about her marriage?” No, nitwit. But it’s quite revealing about where you mind is at Jake.

    If Tapper could please provide his extensive research backing up his claim that a lot of “very successful businessmen and women” choose to not take advantage of common income tax deductions and instead pay more in federal income taxes than is actually due, we would very much appreciate it. If true, we suspect a lot of shareholders and lenders would be very interested in that particular information.

    As Ann Coulter says, and she’s right, the immigrants the left prefers vote overwhelmingly for the Democrat Party, which is increasingly corrupt, treasonous, and radical.

With the leaked 1995 Trump tax returns ‘scandal’ focused on the billionaire’s yuuge “net operating loss” and how it might have ‘legally’ enabled him to pay no taxes for years, we now discover none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton utilized a $700,000 “loss” to avoid paying some taxes in 2015.

65. I think each election does become the most important of our lifetime, simply because we continue to incrementally move down the wrong path.
    So in 2008 it was true, as it was in 2012, and now in 2016.
    If illary wins next month, the 2020 election will become the most important.
    Ultimately, however, there may be a tipping point when it could become next to impossible to thwart the Left at the ballot box in a presidential election due to the increased number of voters who take a check from the government, as well as due to the floodgates of immigrants who tend to become Democrat voters.

    Also, we can’t foresee events that might occur during the next 4 years.
    That’s why I entirely reject the notion that we can just concede the next 4 years to the perceived status quo administration of illary.
    There’ve been too many times in history when we “slept.”

73. Yeah, not finding the full quote. All I can find is this:

    But on Saturday, Trump told thousands of supporters that Clinton’s handling of classified emails and destroying of 33,000 emails that she had deemed of a personal nature meant that “she should be in prison, let me tell you.”

    Trump did not stop there. He said he did not believe Clinton would be loyal to her supporters and chuckled, “I don’t even think she’s loyal to Bill, to tell you the truth. And why should she be, right? Why should she be?”

    So, was he accusing her of sexual infidelity to thousands of people when he said “not loyal to her supporters”?

    File this one with Trump’s calling for Hillary to be ASSASSINATED and calling for foreign governments to HACK HIS OPPONENT

74. Pretty dismayed to see Patterico taking cues from the Dog Trainer, but #NeverTrump.

    Arguing that Clinton is a corrupt politician who belongs in prison, Trump said she shows loyalty to nobody but herself and her donors.

    “I don’t think she’s even loyal to Bill, to tell you the truth,” Trump said. Alluding to former President Bill Clinton’s extramarital affairs, he added: “And really, folks, really — why should she be?”

    See that, where they mad it up out of whole cloth and put it inside a quote where there was no space for it?

    Gabriel Hanna (bc876a) — 10/2/2016 @ 2:44 pm

    
    

75. Anyway the official #NeverTrump position now seems to be that loyalty is only sexual loyalty, so Trump was accusing Hillary of cheating on literally millions of people when she said Hillary was only loyal to her donors and not her supporters.

    Or #NeverTrump has to pretend the previous sentence to the out-of-context quote doesn’t exist, even though you can dig it up if you look.

77. Tapper and others keep talking about paying ones “fair share” in taxes.
    Fair share is determined by tax code. If a return follows tax code and the law, the end result should be the amount that is fair.
    Trump’s return showing the yuuuuuuuge loss was probably flagged for audit as soon as it was opened.
    There is no way the IRS just accepts your word for it that you have a loss of almost a billion dollars, so I’m guessing that if the loss amount went unchanged after audit (and it may have changed, because god knows the IRS put its best people on it and tried), if it went unchanged, then the amount was fair, and then the amounts paid or not paid in subsequent years were also fair.

    If after audit the amount was adjusted to a lesser loss, that wouldn’t mean Trump cheated, it just would mean that there had been a difference of opinion and after all the codes were hashed through, the IRS’ view had prevailed. Cheating and lying on taxes is not “avoiding” tax it is evading tax. Avoiding taxes is what everyone does whether they realize it or not… lets say Tapper takes a wardrobe deduction, or he itemizes charitable donations, he declares his children as dependents, he is avoiding taxes. Evading taxes is a crime that the feds prosecute relentlessly, and since it has been 20 years, we’d have seen this go to court.

    Here is a recent case of a local billionaire that got dinged for evading: http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/14/justice/ty-warner-beanie-babies-tax-evasion/index.html

    But now what I see you doing is jumping right on to repeat them as soon as they come out.

    Trump’s statement was in the context of political loyalty. It is only the Clintons’ public marital history that gives it the ambiguity, which may well have been intended (but I suspect Trump was winging it as usual). That much of the full quote at least is available, to show that context, but the media has distorted it into an unambiguous statement about marital loyalty, which it was not, and the L. A. Times in a particularly egregious way.

    In your effort to keep true to your principles by opposing Trump, you may be losing sight of some of your other principles.

    It was easy. The negligible time to delete those comments in bulk is surely a tiny fraction of the time it took him to write those comments.

    In case you were wondering what earned him the death penalty, it was his decision to quote from a judge’s summary of a plaintiff’s allegations from a frivolous lawsuit against me — a lawsuit so frivolous that it has been dismissed without my paying a penny or retracting a word.

    So you see, for his veneer of politeness, Bob23 is, and has always been, a very nasty and dishonest guy. And with that said, he is now but a memory that will quickly fade.

That much of the full quote at least is available, to show that context, but the media has distorted it into an unambiguous statement about marital loyalty, which it was not, and the L. A. Times in a particularly egregious way.

    In your effort to keep true to your principles by opposing Trump, you may be losing sight of some of your other principles.

    I have read the context. I believe your interpretation is spin. It’s clear what he meant and clear that it was taken in exactly that way by the crowd. It was a wink and a nod and a clear reference to marital infidelity.

91. Note that Giuliani did not offer that ridiculous context argument, Gabriel — because nobody took it as anything but an accusation of marital infidelity.

92. @88– It’s clear what he meant and clear that it was taken in exactly that way by the crowd.
    

    Nice try.

    What he meant is what he said. That’s clear from the text, context and the video. How the crowd interpreted it is on them, but impossible to get in the minds of the masses, is it. Or is it.

    You can’t have it both ways- holding him to his words to the letter in one setting then applying implication in the next. Well, I guess you can. It’s election season.

    Trump’s candidacy has blessed this site with a passel of drive-by cowards who think they can squash disagreements by trying to influence the offline lives of others.

97. Tapper acted all morally outraged about Trump’s remark about Hillary’s fidelity. But he is NOT concerned with Hillary’s horrible and vile attacks on both Bill Clinton’s lovers and his sexual assault victims. Even though she had been informed by Bill’s attorneys that he had been having an affair with Gennifer Flowers for years, she STILL went on national television with bill and attacked Flowers as a liar and a “failed cabaret singer” who only wanted money and her face on the cover of magazines. It makes me ill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUOhUei6aTM

    To see Tapper act all high and mighty and morally outraged today was sickening. He should remember that the women attacked by Bill Cosby were ignored for years. For the love of God, will anyone in the mainstream media take these women under their wings and go to bat for them?

101. Hey, since this half-quote stripped of its context comes from a Trump rally…

     Whatever happened to all those uncritically-reported stories of Trump supporters engaging in violence? Seem to have stopped, haven’t they, ever since it came out that the vast majority of violence was being committed against Trump supporters.

104. All taht Donald trump said was, that it as opinion, that she had cheated on her husband. That kind of story has bene around for years, spread probably by Bill Clinton’s aides.

     Usually it is Vincent Foster she had an affair with or maybe could be Webster Hubbell (paertners at the Rose Law Firm), or she’s a lesbian,, and in recent versions, it’s Huma Abedin she’s in a lesbian relationship with. I don’t believe any of it, but what’s so strange about Donald Trump saying he thinks it is true. He’s not making anything up. In this case, he may actually believe it.

     He didn’t even get specific, but just endorsed the general idea.

     This doesn’t come from no place.

     I think these rumors are deliberately spread, and actually, she’s extremely loyal to Bill.
