For Democrats, The Truth Won't Set You Free

The big news story of the day is the claim that the Russians hacked the US presidential election to help Donald Trump.  The whole claim is based upon a story in the Washington Post citing anonymous "intelligence sources".  There is no evidence presented aside from these supposed claims, but the rest of the media is running with the story as if it is unquestionably true.  Indeed, I'm waiting for the mainstream media to announce that the claim of Russian hacking is now "settled facts" and that those who don't accept it are "political deniers."

Much has been made about the lack of any real evidence for the story, but it's another aspect that I think merits some attention.  The mainstream media and the Democrats are going berserk over this story, but the reality is that whoever hacked the DNC and the Clinton campaign didn't change the truth of what they found there.  Let's take a step back and review a few things:

1.  The emails of the DNC that showed that Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her team rigged the system to favor Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders were all real.  No one denied that.  Whoever hacked the DNC just released the truth instead of the lies being told by Wasserman Schultz, Clinton and the DNC.

2.  The emails from the DNC also showed that the next chair of the DNC, Donna Brazile, gave Hillary Clinton the exact questions to be asked to her in an upcoming presidential debate.  Even worse, Brazile did this more than once.  No one has questioned the validity of the emails.  Here too, whoever hacked the DNC just released the truth instead of the lies being told by Brazile and Clinton's campaign.

3.  The excerpts from the speeches that Hillary Clinton gave to various Wall Street banks did contain statements in which Hillary told the bankers that they were the ones who could be fix Wall Street.  The speeches also contained Hillary telling the bankers that they really shouldn't pay all that much attention to her public positions because she had public positions for the campaign and private positions for later.  She just had to say certain things for public consumption even if she didn't mean it.  For example, Hillary told the bankers that there was no way that college tuition could be made free (even though she was promising that in her campaign.)  Hillary never denied the accuracy of the speech excerpts that were released through Wikileaks.  So here again, the "hackers" just released the truth to the public.

4.  The myriad of emails from John Podesta's account brought to light one after another issue of improprieties by the Clinton foundation and the Clinton family.  They were all real emails and real problems.  They exposed the truth rather than the cover up and lies that the Clintons had been spouting before the disclosure.

So think about what is happening now.  The Democrats and much of the media is having a melt down because someone -- who they say is the Russians -- revealed the truth.  THE TRUTH!!!  It's not the usual fake news that the Democrats themselves put forward, it's the actual truth.

Should we all thank whoever it was that brought the truth to the public.  Isn't that the very "speaking truth to power" that the left loves to proclaim?

They need to remember that the truth will set you free.
