I’m not sure how he said it with a straight face, but Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine insisted Donald Trump has gotten away things that Hillary Clinton could not have.
Specifically, Kaine was referring to Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns. But really, if we’re going to talk about “getting away with” things, can’t Kaine admit that Hillary is the ultimate example of political privilege in that regard?
According to our Andrew McCarthy, Clinton “checked every box required for a felony violation” in terms of her e-mail scandal.
She’s lied — and lied about lying – after removing e-mails that were subpoenaed by Congress, among many other violations any other person with her high security access would have been fired for long ago.
Even as more e-mails, previously undisclosed, come to light, she plays dumb, repeats her brick-and-mortar talking points and the FBI, her supporters and the media let her “get away” with it. It appears she’ll continue to “get away” with putting our national security in jeopardy, the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi — and other things like accepting bribe donations at the Clinton Foundation for political access, not believing women who have accused her husband of sexual assault and calling American citizens “deplorable.”
Kaine may be right that Trump shouldn’t “get away” with not releasing his tax returns. But his running-mate has done far worse without consequence — and everyone knows it.
