Letter: This disqualifies Clinton

I continue to be amused by all the letters castigating Donald Trump with every assortment of the left’s playbook.

Well, perhaps all those supporting Hillary Clinton could explain the following for me and why these items do not disqualify her for any federal job, much less president.

Four dead Americans in Benghazi, and then lies about what caused it.

She supported arming Syrian jihadists, which helped with the rise of ISIS.

She supported withdrawing all troops from Iraq, which did lead to rise of ISIS.

She supported toppling Muammar Gaddafi, which led to the infamous Arab Spring debacle and strengthened ISIS.

Her private email server, and lies under oath to the FBI, and saying “I don’t recall” so many times to be a joke.

She took Clinton Foundation donations from countries that oppress women, yet plays the “woman card.”

The Clinton Foundation “pay to play.”

The Russia uranium deal.

The rigged primaries to defeat Bernie Sanders.

I rest my case.
