Trump advisor castigates Clinton betrayal of Israel

By David Singer - posted Tuesday, 16 August 2016


Clinton was confirmed as Secretary of State by the full Senate voting 94-2 on 21 January 2009, having been a Senator since 3 January 2001.

On 24 June 2004 she was part of the Senate majority that voted 95-3 to endorse the Bush letter.

The fact that Clinton was Secretary of State when the Bush letter was torn up does not necessarily implicate her as the architect of, or personally having agreed to, that appalling decision.

Statements made by Clinton on 17 June 2009 and 25 November 2009 point to her as the lead Obama official charged with implementing Obama's policy finally declared by Obama on 19 May 2011. Clinton remained Secretary of State until 1 February 2013.

Critically for Clinton she now needs to fully explain her role in Obama's gross act of betrayal of one of America's staunchest long-standing allies.

Does Clinton avow Obama's policy of ripping up the Bush letter in 2011, or her vote in the Senate endorsing the Bush letter in 2004?

Clinton needs to come clean before voting day.
