Losing Faith in Our Institutions

Too little, too late. Not only because believing Broaddrick now won’t impact Bill Clinton’s political career, but -- more significantly -- because the left’s history of hypocrisy has done far more extensive damage than most people realize. Exhibit A: the U.S. Senate candidacy of Roy Moore. Betrayal by the press is a different story. The press should be a venerable institution, and it is no longer. Since that time, we have learned not only that Comey had decided that Clinton would not be prosecuted even before the FBI investigation was concluded, but also that an earlier draft of Comey’s own statement used the term “gross negligence” to describe Clinton’s conduct. But not a Clinton. The ongoing Russia investigation is worse. The left’s campaign to delegitimize President Trump and try to find “collusion” with Russia seemed to come out of left field when it was first launched. But now we know that Democratic National Committee paid Fusion GPS, which created the unsubstantiated Russian dossier against Trump.
