Umtyunjwa we-Democratic Republic of US u-Hillary Clinton ubhekisa kubalandeli ngexesha le-rally yomkhankaso eSanford, eFlorida, ngo-Novemba 1, 2016. Kusele iveki enye kude kufike usuku lonyulo, uHillary Clinton kunye noDonald Trump babesimaxhaphetshu kwindawo yokulwa, njengoko umtyunjwa weDemokhrasi azama ukuphuma kurhwaphilizo ekukhuseleni iimfihlo zaseMelika. / AFP / IJEWEL SAMADIfoto nguJewel Samad / AFP / Getty Izithombe
Unyulo lukaMongameli lungaphantsi kweveki, uHillary Clinton udlala ukhuselo, etyhola wonke umntu ngaphandle kwakhe ngentlekele yezopolitiko egubungele iphulo lakhe. Ukugxothwa ziindaba zokuba i-FBI iphinda ihlole ii-imeyile zayo njengonobhala welizwe, umtyunjwa weDemokhrasi uthathe isigqibo sokuhlasela i-Bureau kunye nomlawuli wayo, uJames Comey.
Ngokwakhe nangokubenza kwakhe ngokwesivumelwano okuqhelekileyo, uHillary upeyinte i-FBI njengearhente enobukrwada efuna ukumfumana. Abaphezulu beDemokhrasi batyhola u-Comey ngokuzibandakanya noVladimir Putin, ngelixa abanye besithi iRiphabhlikhi kunye ne-FBI bayasebenzisana ne-Kremlin yokuhlutha u-Clinton uloyiso ngo-Novemba 8. Yonke le nto iyabethabethana nokuzilahlela nangaphezulu komoya kaMcCarthyism.
Le yintshukumo eyingozi, ukuyibeka kakuhle. I-FBI ngumkhosi ogciniweyo, amapolisa aseMelika ayimfihlo, kwaye nokuba zeziphi iimpazamo zayo kwimbali yayo ende, ayijongwa ngabemi abaninzi njengabakhohlakele ngakumbi kunokuba, yithi, iklasi yezopolitiko yelizwe lethu. Endaweni yoko ngokuchaseneyo. Andiyi kumhlasela, wachaza U-Ed Rendell, owayesakuba ngusihlalo weKomiti yeSizwe yeDemokhrasi, ephawula ngombutho weqela lakhe ngoku ochasene no-Comey tirade, kwaye ebonisa ingqiqo eqhelekileyo ebonakala ngathi iyasilela kwiQela uClinton ngoku.
Ungayichazanga eyokuba iiClintonistas zibonisa imigangatho yazo yesiqhelo apha. Thatha ihlazo elidumileyo laseWatergate, elalingumboniso wokuqala wezopolitiko kaHillary, njengoko wayesebenza njengegqwetha labasebenzi abancinci kwiKomiti yeeJaji zeNdlu, ephanda imbroglio eyathatha uMongameli uRichard Nixon. I-Watergate yatshitshisa i-press kwaye yaba yinto yokuba UMark Felt ngasese uxelele iintatheli ezivela Inkqubo ye- IWashington Post ngayo.
Wayeziva ukuba ligosa lesibini kwi-FBI kwaye wavuza kwimithombo yeendaba ngaphandle kwe-vendetta-wayefuna ukufumana uMongameli uNixon ngokungamenzi umlawuli we-Bureau. UFelt wagqiba kwelokuba amsuse umongameli ngenxa yokuba wayenomsindo ngaye. Oku yayikukuphazanyiswa kwinqanaba yi-FBI kwezopolitiko zethu, de facto a coup eyaphenjelelwa ligosa eliyimfihlo lamapolisa afihlakeleyo, kodwa i-Watergate isenganyelwe ziiDemokhrasi, ezibonakala ngathi azifumani nto iphosakeleyo ngokuziphatha okugwenxa kukaFelt.
Ukuba nayiphi na Kwezo meyile zadluliselwa ngu-Abedin kwiakhawunti yakhe ye-imeyile ye-Yahoo kwaye waprintwa ekhaya, waphula umthetho wase-Federal.
Kwangokunjalo, ibango lokuba isibhengezo seyure yeshumi elinanye sika-Comey sokuba i-FBI ivula uphando lwayo lwe-EmailGate lolunye uhlobo lwento eyoyikisayo engazange ibonwe ikude nenyaniso. Kwenzeka nje kwiminyaka engama-24 eyadlulayo — imbali engeyomandulo-xa, kwiintsuku nje ezine phambi konyulo luka-1992, umtshutshisi okhethekileyo u-Lawrence Walsh wabhengeza izicwangciso zakhe zokumangalela u-Casper Weinberger, unobhala wezomthetho phantsi kuka-Mongameli u-Reagan, ngokunxulumene nehlazo lase Iran-Contra. .
Njenge-EmailGate, i-Iran-Contra mess itsalele iminyaka, ibeka iRiphabhlikhi ngokunganyaniseki kwaye imbi kakhulu. Ukuhamba kukaWalsh kwagqitywa yi-GOP njengendawo yokuphepha-hayi kuba ityala lika-Weinberger lalibuthathaka, njengoko kungqinwa kukuba i-Federal jaji yasilahla isimangalo kwiinyanga nje ezimbini emva koko-kwaye akukho mathandabuzo ukuba iyasenzakalisa UMongameli George HW Bush, izicwangciso zakhe zokuphinda zikhethwe zaphazamiseka ngenxa yendima yakhe kwi-Iran-Contra. UWalsh ubuyisele umva kumaphepha aphambili, enceda umtyunjwa weDemokhrasi, osebenzise isimangalo ukutyhola umdlali wakhe yokuba ulixoki . Ngaloo ndlela itela, uBush wasinda ngokulambisa kwindawo yovoto kulowo wayeyimbangi yakhe yeDemokhrasi — owayenguBill Clinton.
I-imeyileGate iyabulala iClintons kuba ikhumbuza abantu abaninzi baseMelika ngezinto ezininzi abangazithandiyo malunga noBill noHillary ixesha elide. Umxholo ophakathi kwelungelo. Ubuxoki obunyanzelekileyo kunye nokuzenzisa. Ukutshintsha kokugxekwa kunye nokugxekwa endaweni yokuthatha uxanduva. Ukuxhamla buqu ngelixa uzenza njengabasebenzi bakarhulumente abathe tye. Ngaphezulu kwayo yonke le nto, inkolelo eyomeleleyo yokuba imithetho yeyabantu abangaphantsi, ayisoze eyakwaClintons kunye necoterie yabo eyilungelo. U-Bill no-Hillary bahambile kule nto amashumi eminyaka, bajika iDemocratic Party baba sisithuthi sabo, kodwa ukuzama ukuphawula esidlangalaleni i-EmailGate kwi-FBI-kunokuba ku-Hillary Clinton ngokwakhe-inokuba linyathelo elinye kude kakhulu.
Siza kufumanisa ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo. Iipolisi ezininzi ngoku zikufutshane kakhulu ukufowuna, ungasathethi ke ukuba kunokubakho inani elibalulekileyo labavoti bakaTrump abazivaleleyo abangafuniyo ukuxelela abantu abangcolisa iinjongo zabo kwibhokisi yokuvota-kodwa bangaphi? Iqela uClinton lisaphethe izibonelelo eziphambili eziza ngoNovemba 8, kubandakanya umdlalo owomeleleyo kwilizwe liphela, ngelixa uTrump engenanto kwaphela, otyunjiweyo kwiRiphabhlikhi ukuba akhethe ukusebenzela i-White House ngokusekwe kwiirali ezinkulu kakhulu kunye nokutya kwakhe okungafunekiyo kuTwitter. . Ukuba uHillary uphulukana no-Lwesibini olandelayo, iya kuba yinto yokonwaba ezandleni ze-neophyte yezopolitiko, isiphelo esothusayo kubukhosi bezopolitiko bukaClinton.
Kusenokwenzeka ukuba aphumelele kunoko, ngenxa yokungathandwa kukaTrump ngabantu abaninzi baseMelika, kodwa nangona uHillary engena kwiOval Office eza ngoJanuwari, uyakwenza njalo phantsi kwelifu elingazange libekho umongameli. Uphando lwe-FBI lwe-EmailGate luya kuqhubeka kangangeenyanga, kuthathelwe ingqalelo ukuba iiarhente zinazo amakhulu amawaka e-imeyile koogqirha bezilwanyana Ukusuka kwilaptop ekwabelwana ngayo nguHuma Abedin, mini-me kaHillary, kunye naye oza kuba ngumyeni wakhe kungekudala, wahlazisa owayesakuba ngunkulumbuso waseNew York u-Anthony Weiner.
Lo myalezo ubuyile kumaphepha angaphambili enkosi ku-Weiner, ongakwaziyo ukuyeka ukuthumela abanye abantu imiyalezo, kubandakanya nabantwana, ngoku ubangele u-Abedin kunye nomqeshi wakhe ngaphezulu kweentloni. U-Weiner ujongene nexesha elinzima lokuvalelwa kwabantu abadala kwi-Intanethi kunye nolutsha, ke ayothusi into yokuba unguye ukusebenzisana ne-FBI kuphando lwayo lwe EmailGate. Ukuzikhusela — kunye nalo naliphi na igqwetha elifanelekileyo - akunakuyalela ukuba kwenziwe njalo.
Ngapha koko, uninzi lwee-imeyile zomsebenzi zikaHillary zaye zathunyelwa ngu-Abedin kwi-imeyile yakhe yobuqu ukuba iprintwe ekhaya, kuba wafumana iSebe likaRhulumente le-IT linobunzima. Ukuhlala kwakhe, wayeprinta ii-imeyile umphathi wakhe afuna ukuzibona. Ingxaki ku-Abedin kukuba siyazi, kwii-imeyile esele zenziwe yi-FBI -ukungathethi nto ngamashumi amawaka ee-imeyile ezacinywa ngabasebenzi bakaHillary, ezinye zazo zisenokuba zisekho kuloo laptop-leyo miyalezo ingachazwanga iqulethe isixa esikhulu solwazi oluhleliweyo. Ezinye zazo kwafunyaniswa ukuba zikumanqanaba aphezulu okuhlelwa kurhulumente wethu. Ukuba nayiphi na Kwezo meyile zadluliselwa ngu-Abedin kwiakhawunti yakhe ye-imeyile ye-Yahoo kwaye waprintwa ekhaya, waphula umthetho wase-Federal.
Inkxwaleko zomthetho weQela uClinton ke ngoko isekude ukuphela, ngelixa iziphumo zopolitiko ze-EmailGate ziya kuqengqeleka iinyanga, mhlawumbi iminyaka ezayo. UDevin Nunes, usihlalo weKomiti yoBuntlola beNdlu, kutsha nje kubonisiwe ukuba ikomiti yakhe izakuhlala ivula uphando lwayo malunga nokusetyenziswa gwenxa kukaClinton ngezinto ezihleliweyo kunyaka omtsha. Uninzi lweeyure ezibuhlungu zokubuzwa yiCongress zilele uHillary nabasebenzi bakhe abaphambili, nokuba kwenzeka ntoni ngomhla wolonyulo.
Ngelixa wayengusomaqhula ophambili wesizwe sethu, uHillary kunye nomyeni wakhe bagqibezela isikimu sabo sokwenza imali esisebenzisa isikhundla sakhe esisemthethweni ukufumana izizumbulu ezivela kwihlabathi liphela kwiminikelo eya kwiClinton Foundation-ezinye zazo kwiintshaba zaseMelika . Oko kuseta, okunika yonke inkangeleko yokuba ngumdlalo wokuhlawula umkhonyovu wohlobo olo ngaphantsi kwezopolitiko Ukuvalelwa entolongweni ngokuzama, kuya kwenziwa uphando nangeminyaka ezayo.
I-EmailGate yafumana ukuheha noluntu, ngokuchasene neminqweno yamajelo osasazo kaClinton, kuba ityhile intliziyo emnyama kaClinton, Inc., ukusetyenziswa gwenxa kwentembeko yoluntu eyenza uBill noHillary baba zizityebi kakhulu. Bazakuyigcina inzuzo yabo, bephila ubomi obutofotofo kakhulu nokuba ungubani na umongameli wethu olandelayo, kodwa ibala lale nyala liza kuhlala likho. Njengoko ndaxela kwangaphambili kunyaka ophelileyo, i-imeyileGate ayihambi kwaye iye yaba lilitye lokusila leQela uClinton eliya kulilinganisela ilifa labo ngonaphakade.
