It's still a long way to go -- and the fat Philly lady has not sung, yet. What's certain is that the "milestone" meme will soon revert to the original Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (VRWC) -- as myriad pieces of the vast Hillary puzzle still refuse to match.
Here are a few examples. Hillary was always a sucker for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Asian arm of NATO on trade. But pressured by Bernie Sanders, she started insisting in the campaign trail she was against it. And then, that TPP was not what she'd hoped it might be. That's now the default position.
It gets curioser and curioser though as the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) found out that in new hardback editions of her Hard Choices tome, all the passages where she details her push to convince other nations to join TPP simply disappeared.
There's the subterranean email blues that simply won't go away. Even Gobi desert nomads are laughing at the fact that the State Department seriously announced it would take 75 years for the full release of emails from top aides to Hillary while she was at State.
Meanwhile Stephen Mull, former executive secretary at State from June 2010 to 2012 -- and since last September lead implementation coordinator for the Iran nuclear deal -- told lawyers in a civil Judicial Watch lawsuit that he knew about Hillary's server, but did not think it was used for government business.
Hillary maintains that, "What I did was allowed. It was allowed by the State Department. The State Department has confirmed that," as she told AP last September. Well, State's inspector general report fully debunked her version; the departments that oversee security "did not -- and would not -- approve" her use of a personal email server.
There's the Clinton Foundation puzzle -- arguably qualifying as a prime tax-free international money laundering scheme. There are those Wall Street speeches whose transcripts will never be released.
And there's even a book to be released one month before Hillary goes to her crowning glory moment in Philly, written by a former Secret Service officer assigned to the Bubba White House. His judgement on Hillary; she "lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office"; and her "appalling leadership style" is "volcanic, impulsive, enabled by sycophants, and disdainful of the rules set for everyone else."
Those who are about to -- maybe -- survive under the volcano, we salute you, Queen of Exceptionalistan.
