We all pick sides, right? It’s either your favorite sports team, or alliance to east or west coast rap, or maybe it’s Ford over Chevy? How about Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump? Two giant personalities, fighting it out through ads & vicious attacks. You have to pick a side, right? The failure of this current election cycle has not been weighed with proper & constructive criticism, the left-wing is for the liberals & the right-wing is for conservatives. Let’s take a look at how both parties have flipped their script on the email scandal in the last few months.
FBI INVESTIGATION
JULY
In July, The FBI informed the American public that no charges would be brought against Hillary Clinton. FBI Director James Comey stated she & her team were ‘extremely careless’ in the handling of her private emailer servers, this was the biggest blow from the press conference, all else was a win-win situation for her campaign.
CLINTON RESPONSE
The Clinton campaign fully supported the decision & the FBI for their due-diligence.
President Obama praised Director James Comey for the “Exhaustive” investigation.
TRUMP RESPONSE
Trump went to twitter and vented his frustration:
“The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment.”
OCTOBER
The mythical “October Surprise” forced it’s way into the election on the 28th. FBI Director James Comey released his letter to congress, informing them of the inquiry into new devices that pertained to the Clinton investigation. Basically… pedophilic tendencies of Clinton Staffer Huma Abedin’s husband, Anthony Weiner, caused the stir-up with a laptop he had used to communicate sexually with a 15-year old girl.
CLINTON RESPONSE
Mrs. Clinton stated: “It’s pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election, In fact, it’s not just strange; it’s unprecedented and it is deeply troubling.”
She also proclaimed “We are calling on the F.B.I. to release all the information that it has,”
John Podesta (of Wikileaks fame!) stated the handling of the matter “inappropriate” and “This was an unprecedented action”.
Clinton Manger Robby Mook declared this on NBC regarding FBI Director Comey, “If he doesn’t come out and get all the information on the table he’s going to let any conspiracy theory carry the day.”

TRUMP RESPONSE
Mike Pence told NBC that the discovery of emails on a new device showed Hillary Clinton was“just a risky choice in this election”.
Trump tweeted this about the recent Wikileaks emails on the day the October surprise dropped.
“If my people said the things about me that Podesta & Hillary’s people said about her, I would fire them out of self-respect. Bad instincts”
He had this to say at a New Hampshire rally:
“I have great respect for the fact that the F.B.I. and the D.O.J. are now willing to have the courage to right the horrible mistake that they made,”
FLIP FLOP ENTERTAINERS
And just-in-case you care…
Filmmaker Michael Moore & Dry-Humorist Bill Maher are no longer supportive of Wikileaks. I wonder if they would be fair on the facts if Trump were in the mix of current leaks?
“Have they drifted from their original goal, Mike? I know you’re a big fan of Julian Assange—he was on our show recently. I feel like he’s drifted,” Maher told Moore. “Now, it’s a lot of personal shit. At the beginning, it was about ‘we’re exposing what’s going on at Guantanamo Bay, and the Iraq War, and letters of Scientology,’ and last year their big thing was the Sony hack! Let’s find out what studio executives think of Adam Sandler! I really feel like he’s lost his way a little, and he hates Hillary.” – BM
“I think WikiLeaks and I think Assange, they’re essentially anarchists and they know, just like a lot of people voting for Trump know, that he’s their human Molotov cocktail and they want to blow up the system,” said Moore. “It’s an anarchic move.” – MM
