Letters to the editor for July 11

Hillary Clinton is a corrupt criminal

As a citizen, I have never been so appalled at the corruption and total contempt this government has for its citizens. How can the people be so out of touch as to stand by and not raise the roof on what happened with Hillary Clinton last week! FBI director James Comey should be removed for his collusion in the Clinton crimes! What payoff did he take for this performance?

He outlines crime after crime that anyone else would be put in prison for, and then gives a pass. All this says is that the last trusted agency of the government has now been corrupted too, completing the sweep of the untrustworthy Justice Department of Barack Obama.

Why is it that corrupt individuals in Washington are always getting a pass, the people most anti-American get heard? This woman and everyone associated with her should be brought up on charges and locked up forever.

We are so desperate for an honest person to stand up for this great nation, but I fear the time has passed. Clinton is a criminal. She is a traitor and terrorist in her own right, continuing to undermine this country due to her incompetence and disregard of the law. I know Congress uses the stupidity of the public and easily manipulates us, so dumbed down by the government education system, but this is so blatant, even the most ignorant of us must surely see this crime? And now they have cleared the way for this criminal to be president.

Events confuse American people

What has happened to America? Why are we in such confusion almost every second of each day? We must take a stand and try to help America return to what it was before President Obama took office.

Hillary Clinton is now running for the presidency. She is using President Obama as a pawn toward her desire for the greatest position in the world. She thinks she is great, but lying has been her downfall over the years, as we all should know.

The administration has been nothing less than a traitor to our American way of life. Yes, we have been infiltrated by an administration that has only one thing on its mind, and that is to change our Constitution in any way possible. When Obama was running for the presidency, his main objective was “change,”but little did we know that his real intention was to change our Constitution.

No wonder we are confused!

Double standard used on Clinton

We all now see what now what Donald Trump is talking about when he says the system is rigged. Hillary Clinton was just cleared of wrongdoing in the “Emailgate” scandal by the FBI director.

Once again there is a double standard when it comes to Democrats and other politicians. I’m sure Gen. David Petraeous would love to have had that part of the double standard when he was prosecuted.
