George Will: Clintons ‘Could Find a Loophole in a Stop Sign’
Political analyst George Will says Hillary Clinton’s secret email scandal is about far more than just hiding a few emails. “It’s axiomatic that the worst political scandals are those that reinforce a pre-existing, negative perception,” Will said. “The Clintons come trailing clouds of entitlement and concealment and legalistic, Jesuitical reasonings – the kind of people who could find a loophole in a stop sign. … Her obvious motive was to conceal. You conceal in order to control. And that’s what makes this literally, strictly speaking, Orwellian.” Will pointed to the infamous “he who controls the past” axiom from Orwell’s novel, “1984,” as the basis for his analysis. “This is a way of controlling what we will know about the history of our country. And it is deeply sinister.”
