Hillary Clinton has been cut up and picked at more than a piece of bad meat at a wedding. She has been dissected as often as a frog in a science class.
Her
alleged misdeeds run from Benghazi to Whitewater, from email abuse to
abuse of Monica, from favors for Sidney Blumenthal to Huma Abedin, from
Wall Street speeches to Clinton Foundation meetings, seemingly from the
time of her birth to the death of Vince Foster.
And yet, what have all these allegations, all these insinuations, all these malevolent implications revealed?
For
all the effort to discredit Ms.Clinton, to find a way to get her thrown
in jail or at least get her out of their hair, the Republican machine
has managed to find a bunch of smoke but absolutely no raging fire.
Hillary
Clinton is deemed dishonest and untrustworthy because that is how she
has been forever branded. If you, I or even Mr. Krugman were
investigated to the degree that this candidate had been, we too would be
considered damaged goods. And if Mr. Trump and his various questionable
endeavors had undergone the level of scrutiny to which Ms. Clinton had
been subjected, I think we all well know what the outcome would have
revealed.
Death by a thousand cuts is the burden Ms.
Clinton has had to carry with her every step of this campaign. Sometimes
it must get very heavy.
