"And that brings us to a third, incandescently obvious fact: The Clintons will always abuse, exploit, deceive and make fools of their biggest fans and friends, the press, the public and even each other."
But that was just one tile in the rich mosaic of deceit that is the Clinton Way. Bill, who earned the nickname "Slick Willie," always believed he was smart enough to talk his way out of anything ? and he was often successful. But what came naturally to Bill took study for Hillary. He was an improvisational deceiver. She had to prepare. The net result was always the same, though: Their failures were always somebody else's fault. (Since the election, Hillary has blamed everyone from the DNC to Bernie Sanders to woman-haters everywhere for her loss.) And the people who put faith in the Clintons and defended them always end up holding the bag.
But the lies were always a symptom of a deeper pathology. The Clintons saw themselves as better than the institutions they were supposed to serve, from the White House and the State Department to the Democratic Party and even the country. The rules are for other people. That's why Clinton Inc. collected millions upon millions of dollars from foreign governments, Wall Street and Hollywood while demonizing their opponents as shills for corporations and wealthy interests. That's why Hillary flouted the rules for her email server. That's why Bill flouted the rules for pretty much everything.
