Paranoid Drunk Rants About Conspiracies and Wheels Within Wheels

Before getting into this off-her-trolley harridan's rant, let's take a look at her psychological state circa 1994-ish.

Alana Goodman examines the brittle, wounded, ineffably bent psyche of the woman who wants to put her jittery fingers on All the Nukes:

Clinton Foundation head Donna Shalala privately expressed concerns about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s mental state in the mid-1990s, saying they had become "paranoid" and fixated on "right-wing conspiracies," according to previously unpublished audio recordings obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

In 1994, four years before Hillary Clinton said a "vast right-wing conspiracy" was trying to take down her husband’s presidency, top aide Shalala said this theory was already embraced by the Clintons.

"They’ve become paranoid. Paranoia. Thinking people are out to get them, this right-wing conspiracy stuff," said Shalala, who was the head of Health and Human Services during the August 1994 interview.

Shalala was recently appointed president of the Clinton Foundation.

The tapes are part of a series of interviews with Hillary Clinton and top aides, conducted by the late Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Haynes Johnson and obtained by the Free Beacon from the Wisconsin Historical Society on the University of Wisconsin campus.

...

Aides feared at the time that Hillary Clinton had become "paranoid", "burnt out," and prone to angry outbursts, according to the tapes.

"[The Clintons are] feeling sorry for themselves. They talk about [conspiracies] all the time," said Shalala. "That there really is a conspiracy out there to get us. That we don't have a chance, people don’t understand how much good we've done. Our message isn’t getting across because these people are beating us up."

...

At a Clinton Global Initiative conference last year, a New York Times reporter said a Clinton press handler trailed her throughout the event, even following her into the restroom.

...

"She's a much sadder person than she was when she started this job," Boorstin said in another taped interview. "As she's gotten more sad she’s gotten sharper at times."

"She’s always had a very caustic edge to her, but it’s even gotten sharper, that edge," he added. "It's razor sharp now."

During the interview, Johnson asked if Clinton ever "flipped out" at the staff.

"Yeah, but verbally. It's sad," said Boorstin.

You can listen to some of the audio of that at the Free Beacon. Oh, and there's more in Alana Goodman's article, too.

Let me relay a story I heard third-hand. The person from who I heard this -- I trust implicitly. I have never known him to lie, and he would, I think, not bother lying to me. (At some point, people stop lying to each other.)

However, he himself had this only second-hand. He believed the guy who told it. But I don't know that guy. So I can attest to the honesty of the guy who relayed this, but I have no idea about the guy it actually happened to.

'Round the mid-nineties, the Clintons were being served interrogatories as part of Ken Starr's Independent Counsel investigation into the Whitewater crimes and cover-ups. FBI agents were sometimes used to ferry documents at this time; something would have to be sent to the Clintons, someone from the Bureau (maybe agents assigned to assist in the investigation? I don't know) would deliver the papers to the Clinton.

One guy delivered a sheet of questions to Hillary Clinton. Bear in mind, this guy did not know Hillary Clinton, was not a pal of Ken Starr, and had nothing to do with any of this, except serving as a convenient delivery-boy.

I'm reconstructing the dialogue for the purposes of storytelling, but this is the gist. The series of two-word replies Hillary gives later is verbatim, however.

"Oh," Hillary said with a nasty, sarcastic edge. "More papers for me."

"Sure," the FBI agent said. "Just need you to sign that you got them."

Hillary signed, and then began paging through the interrogatories.

Then she perked her head up. "Would you like the answers now?"

Now, the FBI guy wasn't really in a position to take her answers, but he had also been trained to take down any voluntary statement or interviewed offered by pretty much anyone, so he took out his pen and pad.

Hillary began reading the questions. "Question one: When did you become aware of the Whitewater development project? Answer: Fuck. You."

She leaned into his face to let him know this was indeed personal. But she wasn't done.

"Question Two: How many hours of work did you spend on the Whitewater project? Answer: Fuck. You.

Question Three: Why did you previously testify you had no knowledge of the Whitewater project? Answer: Fuck. You."

At this point, the FBI guy got the basic gist of the interviewee's point, and unclicked his Bic, and walked away, with Hillary still spurting out Fuck. You.'s after him as he walked to his car.

So that's the woman we're talking about here: A paranoid, venom-hearted, nasty, unkind-to-"Everyday-Americans," entitled borderline depressive, sexually embittered and sexually vengeful, with a chip on her shoulder the size of Carrie Nation's emotional emptiness and bearing a dark grudge against the American people in general.

So, it really should be no surprise that while the bodies of the nine dead in Charleston were just being prepped to have their chests cut open in the Morgue Y for their autopsies, Hillary Clinton decided she would return to her 1995 playbook and blame the shootings on Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh.

From Pam Key at Breitbart:

Last night Clinton told host John Ralston, "We have to have a candid national conversation about race, and about discrimination, prejudice, hatred. The people who do this kind of dastardly, horrible act are a very small percentage. But unfortunately public discourse is sometimes hotter and more negative than it should be, which can, in my opinion, trigger people who is less than stable to do something like this."

Clinton continued, "I think we have to speak out against it. Like, for example, a recent entry into the Republican presidential campaign said some very inflammatory things about Mexicans. Everybody should stand up and say that’s not acceptable. You know you don’t talk like that on talk radio. You dont talk like that on the kind of political campaigns. I think he is emblematic. So I want people to understand, it’s not just him, it's about everybody. The second thing is guns. Let's just cut to the chase -- it's guns."

Check out Allah's piece for a reminder of when the Clintons blamed the OK City bombing on Rush Limbaugh.

These people are consistent in their pathologies.
