From Clay Jones on his political cartoon “Hillary’s Weiner,” the FBI investigating Anthony Weiner’s email, and how Huma Abedin’s involvement could implicate Hillary Clinton
I wasn’t going to draw a cartoon tonight. I’m three days ahead with my cartoons to my clients. If you only view my cartoons at GoComics, who runs everything I do because I upload it myself, you’re a few days behind (you should subscribe to GoComics at only $2.00 a month, subscribe to me, and I’ll get a portion of that. Support your favorite cartoonist … and then support me too). I was gonna take the night off. I was going to eat some pork chops and watch my Cubs win game three of the World Series. Only one part of my plan happened. The Cubs did not win, I did not take the night off, and I did eat some pork chops.
My plans to be leisurely failed because the FBI decided to announce they were reopening the email case against Hillary Clinton. It’s a good thing I don’t go anywhere without my drawing stuff.
I’m mad. I’m angry about this. Not because of the unfairness toward Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. I’m angry because this is political. Eleven days before an election and you want to pop up with this crap?
Let’s take a look at what we know. The FBI’s investigation into Hillary’s use of a private server is over her handling of classified information. This new stuff concerns Anthony Weiner, the mad sexter. Weiner is married to Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin. They are now estranged over Weiner’s last sexting scandal.
The FBI was investigating Weiner’s computer since he was accused of some nasty stuff with a 15-year-old. They found something on the computer which was also used by Huma.
What we know is that the emails were not on Clinton’s server. They were not sent by Clinton. They were not on Clinton’s computer. So how in the hell is this about Clinton’s handling of classified information? It’s not.
I’m going to make a bold statement and tell you that this isn’t going anywhere. Huma might be in trouble, but I don’t see how this implicates Clinton with mishandling classified information.
I’m mad because we have Russians trying to tamper with our election. We don’t need the FBI to start twerking with the process.
Here’s another reason I don’t think there’s anything to this reopened investigation: Hillary Clinton wants to talk about it. She never wants to talk about her emails. She’s clamoring the FBI to release everything they know. Hillary Clinton never wants that.
This is an October surprise, and it’s a huge fail. Trump claims it’s as big as Watergate, which means he didn’t even see the movie, less enough follow the investigation or study history. How can you say something is “bigger than Watergate” when you don’t know what’s in it? How can Republicans be so gleeful over the FBI director basically saying they need to see if the new emails are significant?
Trump is also angry that Hillary is critical of the FBI over this handling. Like Trump has only had nice things to say about the FBI before Friday.
I don’t expect most of my clients to run this cartoon, but that’s OK because I give them more than I promise. My internet-only publications will love it. I’m taking tomorrow off. You have enough cartoons from me. Let me sleep. I’m probably taking tomorrow off.
