Ever wondered about the Clinton scandal circus? CriticalRationalist on The Daily Kos<\/b><\/i>, who characterizes himself as a lawyer with 30+ years experience responding to a client wishing to discuss the election, talks about the Clinton scandals\u00a0<\/a>in the context of the entire Trump debacle:<\/p>\n

[The GOP] think[s] Clinton is a \u201cliar\u201d and \u201ccorrupt,\u201d but all they know is the propaganda they have been fed for decades by right-wing hate media. They think her speaking fees make her corrupt but couldn\u2019t care less about the fact that Trump stiffed thousands of people who sold him goods and services.\u00a0 They think she is a liar because she mischaracterized something James Comey said (which he shouldn\u2019t have discussed in the first place), but overlook the daily deluge of lies coming out of Trump\u2019s mouth.\u00a0 I have followed the Clintons and the right-wing vendetta against them ever since I was in law school 33 years ago. Hate media (Fox, Rush, Savage, Jones, Drudge, Breitbart, Falwell Jr. et al.) use exactly the same propaganda techniques used by Goebbels in the 1930s and by Radio Moscow in the 1970s-1990s, only slicker.\u00a0 And people eat it up.\u00a0 In fact, these past few months it was hard to tell the difference between the Russian state-controlled media and Fox News.\u00a0 Both sounded just like the old communist Radio Moscow, using their usual propaganda techniques, but this time to shamelessly promote Trump and just as shamelessly denigrate Clinton. In reality, Hillary Clinton has dedicated her life to public service, to the betterment of the country.\u00a0 She is comprehensively knowledgeable about public policy and the world (an in particular is under no illusions about Russia), and knows how to get things done in a bipartisan manner.\u00a0 She is as honest as any politician can be.\u00a0 I\u2019ve had a top secret clearance and worked in intelligence, and the email circus was just that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
