Despite holding no office or official position of any kind, Hillary Clinton continues to exert an otherworldly power over a certain segment of the population.  This should really be investigated.

Of course, since she’s already been under investigation of one sort another pretty much continuously since 1992, at a cost to taxpayers of $100 million dollars, without ever being charged with an actual crime, perhaps another investigation isn’t what we need.

In many ways she is a remarkably accomplished person and future historians will no doubt puzzle over the hysteria her mere existence seems to provoke in some presumably sane individuals. At the same time, she is not a perfect person and she was certainly not a perfect presidential candidate.  She was, in fact, the only woman in America who could have put Donald Trump in the White House.  You’d think Mr. Trump would appreciate her efforts, just a bit.

While she’s had a very successful career, like the rest of us, when Mrs. Clinton looks back, she probably wishes she’d done a few things differently.  Attacking the women who accused her husband of sexual harassment and/or assault would be wrong today, and it was wrong in 1993. Losing money on Whitewater was ill-advised. Her inexplicable affection for pantsuits hurt. Murdering Vince Foster might have been a step too far.  So was organizing a pizzeria-based pedophile ring. And she shouldn’t have traded arms for hostages and used the profits to arm Central American rebels. But these things have all been investigated thoroughly, or will be investigated just as soon as the Mueller witch-hunt is completed, which, if the Whitewater and Benghazi investigations are any guide, ought to occur just in time for the presidential election in 2056.
