Marble Halls & Silver Screens With Sarah Lee Ep. 121: The 'Durham Redux, Reacher, and Tapper Takes on China' Edition

Well, the elusive John Durham has come out with more titillating information in a filing last Friday (I covered that here) and the long and the short of it is, it’s not looking good for Hillary Clinton.

The Lady spoke today at the New York State Democrat Party Convention, and she was reportedly booed and heckled as she entered the hotel, with at least one protestor yelling “lock her up!”

Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was heckled and booed by protesters on Thursday at the Sheraton Hotel in Times Square.

Clinton was speaking at the New York State Democrat Party Convention.

When she arrived, Clinton was greeted by some shouting “lock her up” as she walked into the hotel.

“Lock her up!” one protester shouted.

While RedState readers aren’t likely to have much sympathy for Clinton, here’s a small reminder of what her own party thought of her following the 2016 election (read the entire Politico report, pulled from a book written by Donna Brazile, former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee).

On the phone Gary told me the DNC had needed a $2 million loan, which the campaign had arranged.

“No! That can’t be true!” I said. “The party cannot take out a loan without the unanimous agreement of all of the officers.”

“Gary, how did they do this without me knowing?” I asked. “I don’t know how Debbie relates to the officers,” Gary said. He described the party as fully under the control of Hillary’s campaign, which seemed to confirm the suspicions of the Bernie camp. The campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses, while the campaign was using the party as a fund-raising clearinghouse. Under FEC law, an individual can contribute a maximum of $2,700 directly to a presidential campaign. But the limits are much higher for contributions to state parties and a party’s national committee.

“Wait,” I said. “That victory fund was supposed to be for whoever was the nominee, and the state party races. You’re telling me that Hillary has been controlling it since before she got the nomination?”

Gary said the campaign had to do it or the party would collapse.

Why Clinton would strike a public pose now doesn’t seem particularly smart, but it is in keeping with her character. The old joke about how the Clinton’s dealt with the many scandals during her husband’s terms is that their messaging tendency was to declare anything unflattering, “old news.”

She’s striking a similar tone now. It’s a version of the other Democrat mainstay on subjects such as environmentalism and, most recently, COVID: the science is settled.

Unfortunately for Mrs. Clinton, Durham seems to have rediscovered a new scientific formula called “the rule of law.”

Gonna be fun watching this one play out.

I talk about all that on the show today, as well as offer thoughts on the violent but compelling “Reacher” (trailer below). There’s some stuff in there about Tapper, too, which I’m frankly torn about. But give it a listen and see if you think I should be.
