Frank Gaffney: Clinton, Obama Have Given Us ‘Much More Dangerous Kremlin and Putin’

On Wednesday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily, SiriusXM host Alex Marlow asked Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney to pick his favorite WikiLeaks revelation about Hillary Clinton to date.
“Alex, there’s so many to choose from, and the hits just keep coming,” Gaffney replied with a chuckle.
He continued:
I guess the one that seems to me to just basically capture all the rest is the line from her appearance, before Goldman Sachs as I recall, about how you can have a public and private position. What that is – whether she tries to lay this off on Abraham Lincoln or not – is just the leitmotif of Hillary’s life, which is lying. You know, ‘dissembling’ is just too generous a word. It is actually the kind of systematic, chronic lying that I believe has gotten her to where she is today, but it is at terrible cost to the American people, and threatens to be vastly more in the future, should she be elected.
Marlow put the WikiLeaks document dump in the context of the Democrats’ remarkable turnaround on Russia, which the Obama Administration has fingered as the driving force behind recent hacking escapades. In the span of just four years, as Marlow put it, the Democrats have gone from mocking GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for describing Moscow as a major geopolitical adversary, to painting America and Russia as teetering on the brink of World War III.
“I think that the Russians have taken the measure of both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, over the past eight years,” Gaffney said, noting:
Vladimir Putin is unquestionably ratcheting up his behavior, his aggression, his rhetoric, his threats – including of nuclear war against our allies, and periodically against us. I don’t think we can safely ignore all of that, Alex, because I think unfortunately, what history is replete with is example after example after example of miscalculations, where people behave on the basis of what they perceive to be certain strategic realities, and all of a sudden some miscalculation, as I say, takes place, and it can result in horrific consequences.
“All of that said, this latest effort to portray the Obama/Clinton legacy as one of robustness, vis-à-vis Putin, and having dealt with him effectively, as opposed to what they impute would be a Trump presidency’s conduct, is ludicrous, and I believe preposterous on its face,” Gaffney declared.
