CNN, early Saturday morning, March 28th, bannered the big follow-up,\u00a0\u201cHillary Clinton deleted all email from personal server,\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and reported that, \u201cHillary Clinton permanently deleted all the emails on the private server she used to do official business as secretary of state.\u201d Ms. Clinton immediately responded to reporters\u2019 questions by saying that nothing of importance to, or concerning, her State Department business, was on that server, and that she had recently sent to the investigator who is looking into this matter \u201croughly 30,000 emails\u201d that related to State Department business. However, the public, and prosecutors, will now not be able to see the other emails (which she says were approximately 32,000), because she then had that server wiped clean. She says she had had this done because \u201cno one wants their personal emails made public.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In other words: the public would just have to trust her assertion that nothing related to government business was in those \u201cpersonal emails.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Private letters from Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and other American leaders, are published in books; but Hillary Clinton does not think that the American public should ever have access to hers. Today\u2019s emails are like paper-and-ink letters in that bygone era; but she has, in effect, burned them. Historians won\u2019t get to see them; neither will the public.<\/span><\/p>\n Even the earlier revelation had caused her ratio of unfavorable-to-favorable ratings in polls to soar.<\/span><\/p>\n On March 19th, Reuters headlined,\u00a0\u201cMany Democrats want independent Clinton email probe: Reuters\/Ipsos poll,\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and reported: \u201cSupport for Clinton\u2019s candidacy has dropped about 15 percentage points since\u00a0mid-February among Democrats, with as few as 45 percent saying they would\u00a0support her in the last week.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n In the\u00a0CBS News poll<\/span><\/a>, taken March 21-24, Hillary\u2019s Favorable rating was 26%, Not Favorable was 37%; this had last been polled by CBS on September 12-16 of 2008: 51% Favorable, 35% Unfavorable. Her Favorable is down from 51% to 26%, almost half, since then. The latest Gallup poll on that question was March 2-4 (this year): 50% Favorable, 39% Unfavorable. Assuming comparability of the Gallup and the CBS polls, her figures went from 50% Favorable and 39% Unfavorable just as the first news of this email scandal broke, down to 26% Favorable and 37% Unfavorable just before the latest revelation \u2014 the revelation that she had wiped her server clean \u2014 and it\u2019s likely to go even lower now, after that second blow.<\/span><\/p>\n Wall Street has banked on Hillary\u2019s becoming President. Her husband gave them what they wanted (the end of the Glass-Steagall Act); and during the past year she has been collecting millions of dollars in \u2018speaking fees\u2019 for meeting with them in private.<\/span><\/p>\n According to all accounts of the collections by her nascent campaign organization, money has been flowing into it by the millions.<\/span><\/p>\n And Wall Street is already panicking at the news-reports of her email scandal.<\/span><\/p>\n On Friday March 27th, Britain\u2019s Guardian<\/i> headlined, \u201cElizabeth Warren: Banks Could Halt Donations in Protest at Senator\u2019s Plans,\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and reported that, \u201cBig Wall Street banks are so upset with Elizabeth Warren\u2019s call for\u00a0them to be\u00a0broken up that some have discussed withholding campaign\u00a0donations to Senate\u00a0Democrats\u00a0in symbolic protest, sources familiar with the discussions said. Representatives from Citigroup, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Bank of\u00a0America have met to discuss ways to urge Democrats, including Warren and\u00a0Ohio senator Sherrod Brown, to soften their party\u2019s tone toward Wall\u00a0Street,\u00a0sources familiar with the discussions said this week.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n On 19 April 2014, the Guardian<\/i>\u00a0had headlined\u00a0\u201cWall Street deregulation pushed by\u00a0Clinton advisers, documents reveal\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and reported that, \u201cThroughout the documents, which are among 7,000 pages released by the\u00a0Clinton library on Friday, there is little discussion of internal opposition to\u00a0repealing Glass-Steagall,\u201d which was the FDR law, passed in response to the 1929 economic crash, that (up till 2000) blocked banks from ever again gambling with depositors\u2019 money and from their leaving the Federal Government holding the bag (bank \u201cbailouts\u201d) when such bank-gambles produce losses, as occurred again in 2008. Senator Warren wants to reinstate those protections for depositors and taxpayers, and the megabanks are terrified against that possibility.<\/span><\/p>\n Naturally, then, on 21 May 2014, Mother Jones<\/i> bannered,\u00a0\u201cHillary Clinton\u2019s Speaking Circuit\u00a0Payday: $5 Million (and Counting),\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and listed some of the companies that were forking over $200,000 apiece to have private sessions with her (\u2019speaking fees\u2019) while she was \u201cconsidering\u201d to gear up for a Presidential campaign: Fidelity Investments, Goldman Sachs, the Carlyle Group, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, the National\u00a0Association of Realtors, etc. Her donors\u2019 list is rich; and it\u2019s all \u2018private,\u2019 perhaps just like the emails that she destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n The only Democrats who will be voting for Hillary Clinton are the ones who are satisfied for Wall Street to own Main Street.<\/span><\/p>\n And Republicans will vote against her because she\u2019s not nominally<\/i> \u201cRepublican.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n End of story. End of Presidential chance. (But, likely, not end of Presidential campaign. More likely, just the start for other Democrats to enter the race.)<\/span><\/p>\n Hillary Clinton\u2019s Presidential Campaign Is Now Effectively Over Wall Street Warns Dems Not to Choose Senator Elizabeth Warren Eric Zuesse Hillary Clinton\u2019s unannounced campaign for the U.S. Presidency has already failed.
