Why should we vote for a liar?

Point of view

The final paragraph of my letter to this paper titled “Hillary Clinton Unfit for Office” (June 9) read as follows:  To conclude, the Clintons are liars, avaricious, morally corrupt and crooked.  Money is their god.  Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be President of the United States.  A member of the New York State Legislature, maybe.  But President?  Hell, no!

That letter had to do mainly with Hillary’s 37-year trail of lies and corruption going as far back as the “Cattle Futures Scandal” of 1979, where she turned a so-called “investment” of $1,000, in which the actual commodity trading was done for her by the head lawyer of Tyson Foods, into an unbelievable profit of $100,000 in the short space of 10 months—and then quit cold.  Tyson Foods, itself, went on to profit greatly from Bill Clinton’s Governorship of Arkansas.  A coincidence? Of course, not.

This trail of corruption continued into the 1980s, when as a Rose Law Firm Partner, her billing records that would have implicated her in a fraudulent real estate deal called “The Castle Grande Land Deal” went conveniently missing.  This corruption continued on through various scandals into the present time where the Clintons, who Hillary stated were “dead broke” when Bill Clinton left the presidency, have succeeded in accumulating a fortune of an estimated [worth] over $100 million, most of which came in the form of speaking fees from companies and organizations seeking (just like Tyson Foods) to substantially profit from a Clinton administration.

Strangely enough, not one person came to Hillary’s defense.  Not one Democrat politician wrote this paper to refute anything I said, not even the usually outspoken local assemblyman and Clinton delegate, Jeffrey Dinowitz.  But then again, Mr. Dinowitz, like so many of his fellow legislators, is so accustomed to corruption that it is evidently an accepted way of life.

And we now find out, with the recently concluded Comey investigation, that corruption even extends to the so-called Department of Justice where, unbelievably, the testimony given by Hillary Clinton in her 3.5-hour interview by FBI agents regarding her handling of classified materials was 1) not taken under oath, and 2) without notes or a recording being taken.  Was the fix in?  You bet it was!

I challenge Assemblyman Dinowitz to explain to his constituents why they should vote for “Crooked Hillary”, a woman who is a pathological liar, a life-long influence peddler and a law breaker who escapes indictment only because of the political protection afforded her by friends in very high places.
