Don’t for a minute think the whole situation doesn’t stink to high heaven. From the bizarre meeting between Bill and Loretta Lynch, kept secret until reported by a local journalist, to the equally bizarre notion that terrible lapses of judgement while handling classified information should result in nothing, the whole story seems like something out of a Twilight Zone episode. The most disturbing part of it all, as many are recognizing, is the idea that if you or I or anyone else did this, we could be criminally charged. That should be a wake up call for Americans.
But it isn’t. Since you’ll likely get much of the information from news sources that more or less agree it was a victory for Secretary Clinton, and while partisanship might spin it different ways, this is definitely her chance to put it behind her, I’ve provided a couple links to other perspectives. One is at the always informative The American Catholic. The other is from the equally insightful, if not a bit candid, John C. Wright. They are obviously not pretending to be fans of the decision. They take a far more critical look at not just the actual resolution of the scandal, but the way in which the media is packaging the narrative.
