Hillary is Not a Crook

On November 17, 1973, President Richard Nixon infamously denied any involvement in the Watergate scandal with his now timeless defense: "I'm not a crook." Similarly, Hillary has denied any wrong doing in her email scandal. 

Yet, following the FBI investigation, Hillary is guilty of significant wrongdoing. According to Director Comey's statement Hillary transmitted "110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received." Numerous non-elite individuals have been prosecuted and convicted for much less offensive acts. 

Nixon, after investigation, had the good sense of decorum and he grasped the necessity of his resignation. Hillary, on the other hand, has exonerated herself from any wrongdoing, and her supporters believe she is the most qualified person to run as president. 

No, Hillary, you are not a crook but you have demonstrated how you are unfit for the office and you have exercised extraordinarily poor judgment and are careless with the handling of critical information of national significance.

No Republic in history has been able to survive unfit leaders and ignore the rule of law.
