As the world knows, Hillary Rodham Clinton spent the first fifty years of her life obsessed with her quest to become The First Woman President. And now that the effort has ended in failure she seems determined to spend the next twenty years gnawing on and lamenting her loss. That and trying to fix public opinion so that the blame for this unhappy debacle falls on somebody other than herself. As Donald Trump blamed his loss in the popular vote on “alien” voters, so Clinton blames other people for her Electoral College fiasco, citing FBI director James Comey for his Oct. 28 letter, and Barack Obama for not making more of a fuss on the WikiLeaks scandal, while ignoring the great many things she did wrong.

Did Obama tell her to use an unsafe, insecure private server while holding one of the most sensitive posts in the government, set up a play-for-pay situation at the Clinton Foundation, and rake in obscene sums of money for boilerplate speeches until almost the day she announced?
