Last week, the political landscape was again altered by “the outrageous, defamatory, and possibly insane charge” by former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state Hillary R. Clinton. HRC claimed that Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) and the 2016 Green Party candidate for president Jill Stein are “Russian assets” being “groomed” by the Russians for third party candidacies. Conrad Black writes in American Greatness:

This is the same mentality that in its deranged perversity commissioned the fraudulent Steele Dossier, and gave us the Trump-Russia “treason” myth, on which she blamed her loss of the election. It didn’t work in 2016. The fervent efforts of the Mueller special counsel staff to produce something remotely indictable against Trump failed, and this final effort to remove the president will be a disaster.

But Clinton has given us a hint of what the world was spared when she was defeated. The Democrats are being led by a coalition of constitutional renegades, spavined political tricksters, and would-be socialist tyrants. They are speeding over a political cliff. The force of gravity will assert itself.
