I'm really floored about how disgustingly low Hillary (and her cronies)  will go to criticize Trump.  A few months ago, both were invited to see the Mexican president; only Trump went.  When Trump returned, he was asked by the MSM (mainstream media) if he had discussed who would pay for the wall.  Trump said that he hadn't.  

For a few days, there was criticism of Trump for FAILING to negotiate this matter.  That criticism re-surfaced within the last day or so (October 20), with Hillary claiming Trump had "choked".

  Well, as radio commentator Paul Harvey would have said, here's the rest of the story.   It turns out that there is an American Federal law called the Logan Act which prohibits private citizens from engaging in diplomatic activity with foreign nations.  It's been around for 200+ years, and violation is a felony...although there have never been any convictions and only one indictment in that entire time.  It does not prohibit a person from merely meeting with a foreign government official, just engaging in diplomacy with him.  (What amounts to "diplomacy" has not been tested, due to the virtual lack of prosecutions.)

  Hillary Clinton is supposed to have at one point been a lawyer.  Not a good lawyer, I have to conclude.  In fact, she must have been a very bad lawyer.  But she has now outdone herself for criticizing Trump...for Trump's FAILURE to commit a Federal felony!   You see, she has actually claimed Trump "choked":  That Trump DIDN'T negotiate this matter, apparently not to Hillary's satisfaction.   So, indeed, Hillary is blasting Trump for FAILING to engage in diplomacy with the Mexican president:  For FAILING to commit a felony!

  And don't try to suggest that maybe, Trump did indeed secretly try to negotiate with the Mexican president, but simply failed to get an agreement.  While such a hypothetical scenario might be called a violation of the Logan Act, at the same time it couldn't ALSO be called "choking":  To raise the issue during the meeting, but to merely fail to get positive results wouldn't be a "choke", of course.  So, by calling Trump's supposed actions (or lack of actions?)  "choking", Hillary has essentially admitted that she DIDN'T believe that Trump had attempted to negotiate, and thus had not violated the Logan Act.

  But others in the media were even more clueless.  And it's not that I'm the first person to raise this issue:  Do a Google search for 'hillary trump mexico wall Logan', and you can even find some articles within the first few days of Trump's Mexican visit, claiming that Trump DID violate the Logan Act.  If Trump had actually said he negotiated, you can be sure that Hillary would have accused him of committing a crime.  But no, he didn't, so now she's accusing him of, in effect, NOT COMMITTING a crime.  Failure to negotiate as a private citizen with the President of Mexico.  Failure to commit a Federal felony.   How awful!

 

 How cynical can a person be to try to prepare not one, but in fact TWO separate, and opposite traps for her opponent:  If Trump tried to negotiate, she would accuse him of a crime.  If Trump failed to try to negotiate, she would, and in fact did, accuse him of "choking".   

   Is it possible to engage in a more disgusting and devious fraud in front of the entire world, and not be called out on it?  How dishonest can a person get?

   To be sure, I'm still going to vote for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, as I always do.  But I feel I must challenge anyone who would otherwise vote for Hillary Clinton:  Do you feel proud that your chosen candidate is such a massive liar, fraudster, influence-peddler,  scam-artist, and deviously corrupt woman?   "And those are her GOOD qualities", I hear her supporters fawning.
