Hillary is not worthy of the presidency

Re “Hillary Clinton is the only serious choice we have for president” letter by Michal Hall.

Mr. Hall asked if no one has ever defined what a broken or rigged systems is. Americans’ perception of our government, including Donald Trump supporters, feel our leaders in Washington are agents of the wealthy and large national corporations, including well-financed special interest groups like the Hollywood stars who give millions to support a certain agenda.

The liberal press is a great example of nongovernmental rigging. Christiane Amanpour, a journalist for CNN International, is married to James Ruben, an informal adviser to Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama. She states outright plans to vote for Hillary. CNN also edited Clinton's embarrassing New York City bombing response.

Mr. Hall states he simply cannot understand why the only two things Hillary has done -- Benghazi and her admitted email use, which he states, “no one has ever concluded she did anything wrong [and] has caused her to be called many unfavorable names and her faithful service ignored.”

Hillary authorized creation of a private server by employees of a non-government company not authorized to be involved with top secret government information in order to keep her private information from the federal authorities.

She destroyed any information she did not want anyone to see, including the FBI. Everyone knows what happened in Benghazi. The person of authority is responsible for all actions below that authority.

Harry Truman once said the buck stops in his office. Hillary was in charge of the State Department. Mr. Hall concludes that we should not be upset and narrow-minded and should re-elect the same Hillary/Obama team that in seven years increased the national debt to a limit that took all the other presidents 200 years to reach.

In the last few days, we had to bear witness to another Muslim immigrant turning his back on the U.S. His father warned the FBI two years prior but they could find not reason to investigate him. A top former Israeli security officer indicated that political correctness from Washington stopped the FBI from going forward with their investigation of the New York City bomber.

Now Hillary wants to increase the number of immigrants by more than 500 percent. If the FBI failed, what is going to happen when the same immigration bureau that gave more than 800 immigrants citizenship when they were suppose to be deported?
