(Clinton.news) No doubt there are plenty of President Obama’s critics and political foes who are upset over his ringing endorsement of presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, the first presidential candidate who is under investigation for wrongdoing by the FBI, which is “historic.”
There is also no question that many of those same critics are highly skeptical of a private meeting Obama had on Thursday with his hand-picked attorney general, Loretta Lynch, who is in charge of the FBI and is naturally intimately familiar with the investigation into Clinton’s improper and potentially illegal use of a private unsecured email server to conduct State Department business when she headed up that agency.
They are upset and they have a legitimate right to be: By his actions, Obama seems to be scripting Clinton’s outcome – that he wants her spared, regardless of any damning evidence against her – even before the FBI wraps up its investigation. Despite White House protestations to the contrary, any sane, fair, non-partisan, thinking person can see that.
But in the end, Obama’s intentional, partisan meddling and yet another Clinton near-miss at doing jail time may not make much difference with voters. What very likely will be much more influential is a raft of anti-Clinton films, eight in all, that are scheduled to be released in theaters and online between now and the November election. Seems quite a few Clinton foes were expecting her to survive yet another scandal for which she soundly deserves to be punished.
As reported by the Hollywood Reporter:
The Clintons are in for a rough time as a host of documentary films aiming their fire at the political power couple are set to be released in the coming months.
Hillary and Bill Clinton might want to avoid movie theaters if they’re looking for a little down time from campaigning.
There could be up to eight right-leaning films released in the coming months set to hit the big screen and online streaming services with storylines less than flattering for the Democrats’ presumptive nominee. The first, which hits YouTube on Thursday, uses actors to re-enact Hillary Clinton’s deposition about the email scandal that’s swirled around her candidacy.
But as they say on late-night infomercials, wait, there’s more.
Bigger moving projects include one that is being directed by Dinesh D’Souza, another flick that is based on best-selling author Peter Schweizer’s book that tracks the Clinton Foundation’s trail of money to foreign donors, and maybe even one more that is sponsored by conservative non-profit group Citizens United, run by David Bossie.
Some of the filmmakers, who began their productions years ago in anticipation of a Hillary candidacy and nomination, will each tap into existing storylines surrounding the two most corrupt Democratic political figures in ages, and all amid the most unorthodox presidential election cycle in modern history.
Filmmakers cite recent polling in which Clinton’s high negatives are apparent: An unfavorable rating above 60 percent, a figure that could grow as sulking supporters of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., turn their ire against Clinton and the Democratic Party’s warped superdelegate nomination process. That gives producers and directors a ready-to-tap market.
“We’re gearing up for a big movie and a crazy election,” said D’Souza, who is very familiar with political filmmaking after his 2016: Obama’s America became one of the most successful political documentaries ever.
Naturally the Clinton campaign and her surrogates in the mainstream media, which are legion, are gearing up to try to discredit the films and those behind their production, but it won’t help: One of her high unfavorables is that voters think she isn’t trustworthy (probably like quite a few investigators at the FBI).
There are even attempts to discredit those close to Clinton – longtime aides she would no doubt bring with her to the White House if she won, as The Hollywood Reporter noted:
When Hillary Clinton adviser Cheryl Mills was deposed in a lawsuit related to the former Secretary of State’s email scandal, she used some version of “I don’t recall” or “I don’t know” 189 times, and her lawyers objected to some 200 questions. Americans may never see the testimony, though, because a judge has suppressed the video. But look on YouTube, Facebook and elsewhere for Deposition and audiences can at least see actors reenacting the deposition.
Fact is, Hillary Clinton – one of the most scandal-ridden presidential candidates in the history of the republic – will not simply waltz into the Oval Office. Too many factors – and too many people – are at work to prevent that from happening.
