Some of the biggest bombshells dropped by WikiLeaks' disclosure of Hillary Clinton's speeches and emails, and why each is so important.
1. Clinton dreams of a world with "open trade and open borders": Every American should understand that Democrats, and plenty of Republicans, are fighting an all-out war against national sovereignty. Sure, Democrats want new voters, and Republican interests want cheap labor, but they also share a mutual desire to increase the distance between the Ruling Class and voters. In the globalist future, political and business titans will stand atop the world, without having to worry about fulfilling annoying duties to grubby little voters with nostalgic memories of the days when American politicians served America's interests. Globalism means you'll never be able to vote against anything.
2. Clinton courted business elites to support liberal agenda to beat back populism: Clinton's speeches include numerous examples of something that's hardly new, or unique to her, but a very important harbinger of things to come if she gets into the White House. Democrats serve their voters a steady stream of anti-business, anti-wealth rhetoric, but they're keenly interested in using Big Business to promote the agenda of Big Government. Some of the examples in the leaked speeches, such as Clinton urging business interests to beat back the Tea Party and support open-borders immigration, are points of common interest with the GOP Establishment.
3. Clinton campaign coordinated with Super PAC: No one familiar with the WikiLeaks disclosures should be able to restrain their laughter when Hillary Clinton talks about getting "big money" and "dark money" out of politics. Then again, she should have been laughed off the stage for such tirades long before WikiLeaks started releasing her campaign's emails.
4. Clinton admitted she has different "public and private positions" on Wall Street reform: Again, this shouldn't surprise anyone, but it's always useful to catch a politician actually admitting she isn't honest with the public on issues � especially an issue of keen interest to the Democrats who opposed her in the primary. In the same issue, she admitted she's out of touch with ordinary Americans and "far removed" from middle-class life, which is a refreshing bit of (unintended) candor from such a sanctimonious candidate and Party. Lastly, she said it was an "oversimplification" to blame banks for the 2008 financial meltdown, which is true � and greatly understating the truth of Democrat politicians' culpability, at that � but not at all what Democrat hyper-partisans want to hear from their leaders.
5. Clinton campaign asked about using White House executive privilege to hide emails from Congress: "Think we should hold emails to and from POTUS? That's the heart of his exec privilege. We could get them to ask for that," John Podesta � current Clinton campaign chair, and former White House counsel � wrote to Hillary's aide Cheryl Mills, even as the House Benghazi Committee was writing a subpoena for Clinton's long-hidden correspondence. It's absolutely shocking that Team Clinton would think Barack Obama was willing to abuse executive privilege to hide vital information from Congress. Wherever did they get that outrageous idea?
