This past week, our media has been filled with tragic headlines. As our country begins a shift of leaders, we begin to get a sense as to how each presidential nominee reacts to these given situations. Both nominees stand out for various reasons, but one nominee in particular is standing out more than the other, and not for the reasons one would hope. Lately, I have been greatly questioning the presidential nominees and find that I am not the only one. Although I believe Donald Trump to be narcissistic and bigoted, I have also found negative attributes I feel strongly about regarding Hillary Clinton and her snake-like behavior.
Hillary Clinton’s actions had started to make her look rather suspicious some time ago as reports came about declaring the misuse of her private email while acting as our Secretary of State. This misuse included sending and receiving classified documents through her private email, which in itself began to raise eyebrows. To this day these accusations make me question what she is hiding. Her rather untrustworthy behavior landed her under investigation by the FBI and left our nation curious as to what the outcome of this investigation would be. The investigation wrapped up earlier this past week with a press conference at The House of Representatives that was led by FBI Director James Comey.
The FBI came to a very shocking conclusion. This conclusion stated that she will not be put under further investigation and will not be indicted for misusing her private email server. I stared at the TV in disbelief as Director Comey released his statement. It all seemed so scripted. In sorts, it is, but he seemed terrified to defend his decision. Some House members were calm while interviewing him while others were stern and confused, making sure that Comey knew exactly how they felt. How could such a high-profile leader like Clinton do something so careless? According to Comey, his agents found 110 emails on Clinton’s private server that were marked classified, but Hillary Clinton still isn’t receiving punishment for her actions. Rumor has it that these emails were discussing the deaths of American soldiers and office officials in Benghazi, Libya. To that I ask, what is she hiding and how did she get away with it while it is reported that her colleagues who were also on the email chain will face harsher circumstances?
So many questions were running through my head. The one that really stood out to me was one that I feel most American citizens are asking themselves. “Is Hillary Clinton really someone we want representing the American people?” I understand that she will (hopefully) use persistence on important matters, like gun control, but it makes me quite uneasy knowing that a person who has the potential of being our next president can get away with something so substantial and sketchy! To be honest, both candidates have made me extremely uneasy as this election comes to a close, yet both candidates regardless of their actions have made it this far. Only time will tell what is in store for our country.
Here's a bit of good news, U.S. State restarted the investigation into the email probe. Maybe Hillary Clinton will get what she deserves?
