Alaska’s former republican 1\/2 term governor and failed 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has surfaced again.

The former beauty queen and publicity hound\u00a0is suggesting\u00a0\u00a0Comey is tainted because of ties with the Clinton Foundation. On her Facebook page <\/a>she said the swamp runs deep <\/em>while questioning why there has been no congressional investigation on what she sees as a conflict of interest issue.<\/p>\n

Palin is\u00a0not the only one\u00a0on board\u00a0with the Clinton connection meme.\u00a0Breitbart “News”, one of America’s premier conspiracy theory publications, \u00a0published an article in September of 2016 <\/a>claiming Comey\u00a0 is deeply entrenched in the big-money cronyism culture of Washington, D.C. <\/em><\/strong>Like most things Breitbart\u00a0it went nowhere. Groundless\u00a0sensationalism generally does.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0guess is Palin, sensing\u00a0an\u00a0opportunity to find\u00a0her way back into the political limelight,\u00a0and ingratiate\u00a0herself with the present POTUS at the same time\u00a0, believes it will somehow make her relevant again.<\/p>\n
