When President Obama was asked about Hillary Rodham Clinton’s email problem last Sunday on CBS’ “60 Minutes” he said, “I don’t think it posed a national security problem. I think that it was a mistake that she has acknowledged … I can tell you that this is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”

And there you have it: evidence that the leader of the free world is corrupt. And by the way, his Democratic Party is as well. We’re talking about the illegal actions of a presidential candidate that did endanger national security information while she was sitting secretary of state. The name of a CIA source was revealed on an unsecure platform for God’s sake, recklessly. That crosses any line the Justice Department needs for prosecution. The only reason this whole email scandal came to light was because of the actions of the House Select Committee on Benghazi. That wasn’t supposed to happen. The emails were supposed to be hidden, which was the whole purpose of the private email server. I still don’t think we’ve seen all of the emails that need to be read. There are still roaches hiding in Hillary’s kitchen.

Mr. Obama tried to influence the outcome of an active FBI investigation while on national television. He telegraphed that of course his Department of Justice would not pursue charges against Mrs. Clinton, no matter what the FBI found and what opinion they put forth. Obviously, this is not the first time. We all remember his comments that there was not a smidgen of corruption in the IRS as the agency destroyed evidence, obstructed justice, lied, withheld information from Congress, and did anything to prevent the truth about this administration’s actively targeting the conservative political opposition with federal power during the last election.

The Obama administration is not going to let Mrs. Clinton be prosecuted for political reasons. This cannot stand. The future of America depends on it. The last time a president was caught with his hand this far in the corruption cookie jar he had to resign. This type of behavior has to be held accountable. The rule of law is paramount in our society. It is why we have become so successful and prosperous, no matter what the Democratic Socialist Party says.

Mrs. Clinton is scheduled to testify to Congress this week.

The people have to rise up and say enough is enough. If not, we are no better than Russia or other corrupt post-Soviet states. At least in those countries the people acknowledge and laugh about their corrupt political systems. The Democrats are still trying to spin their waste from a bull with a straight face. They keep hoping that this will all be forgotten. And maybe it will be, but then America will be doomed to the dustbin of history. It will only be a matter of time.
