During
his 1992 campaign for the presidency, Bill Clinton was fond of promising
America, “You get two for the price of one,” indicating Hillary Clinton would
act as his co-president.
But
the nation got much more than it bargained for, as the top power couple brought
a load of baggage with them into the White House from their days in Arkansas.
You are the government, you are the sovereignty of the nation, Hillary and Bill Clinton have worked for you in the past as employees. What they have done is against moral laws and their oath to protect and serve the constitution. They, Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton became the self-serving lords of their American Criminal Empire Enterprise. Let there be no doubt, the Clintons are dangerous to the United States and should be jailed and held in contempt.
After
the Clintons moved into the presidential mansion, the political scandals
multiplied – from use of the IRS and FBI to target political opponents to
stalking and harassing subjects of Bill Clinton’s sexual advances and even
attempts to loot taxpayer-funded items from the White House. Americans also
witnessed capers such as Travelgate, Chinagate, Filegate and Pardongate.
This very day you're paying the private mortgage of $10,000 per month for the Clinton Mansion. Yes, you are. The Secret Service needed a guard shack so the Clinton's charge them $10,000 a month and that's the exact amount of their monthly mortgage. The bitch can't drive a car but she can drive a bargain and continue the rape of the taxpayers.
The Clinton's could care less what you think. They have enough minority voters of color on welfare problems that will always support government corruption for a monthly cash payment, just like the Clinton's.
Hillary Clinton without any understanding of the consequences in her early years learned how to lie and cheat because she married the biggest liar and cheat in the south.
They have a scheme, it's to work for their perfect happiness and if you have to starve to death, so be it. The Clinton Foundation is a criminal enterprise and is shielded to this day by million dollar lawyers, false fronts, off shore bank accounts and the laws of many lands. The Clintons and Obama's take no account of your suffering, it's not part of their plan. There are 95 million men and women out of the workforce and almost 50 million eating with food stamps tonight as Chicago, Baltimore and other cities burn to the ground.
Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades and subsequent
impeachment by the U.S. House of Representatives on charges of perjury and
obstruction of justice consumed more than a year of American public life and
bitterly divided the nation. The Clinton scandals consumed government taxpayer money like drunks on a vacation. Bill Clinton is a known drug user and liar and if you were alone in the forest he would mug you for your wallet or purse. The Bonnie of the gang is Hillary Clinton, toting the gun, driving other people nuts with threats and lawyers.
In
the years since the memorable Clinton presidency, Hillary has brought America
Emailgate and the Benghazi scandal, among others. New developments in the
Clinton Foundation scandals emerges almost daily. Hillary Clinton is well connected to the Muslim Brotherhood (CAIR) and the Islamic Extremists Radical Jihadist that plaque the world and kill Christians by the tens of thousands. Even, Communist Leader Vladimir Putin has agreed to start killing the murderers in the desert ISIS ISIL TALIBAN AL-QAEDA and others even has Barack Obama wants to help them. Paris France and the ISIS ISSIL killings pushed Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in to the open and they must now act as hundreds of thousands have been exterminated.
Now,
it’s Hillary’s “turn” to be president, according to her Democrat supporters.
What
do YOU think? Is Hillary fit to be president? Sound off
But
in 2015, America is still apparently suffering from “Clinton fatigue.” Results
from a Quinnipiac poll published in April revealed between 49 and 56 percent of
voters in three significant swing states – Colorado, Virginia and Iowa –
believe Hillary is neither honest nor trustworthy. Hillary Clinton is a liar, cheat and lesbian. The main stream media will not report the facts about the Clintons because they can crush any business, withhold any government support and destroy any business or individual.
Even
former California Democratic Party Chairman Bill Press told people that
controversies surrounding Hillary should convince members of his own party an
uncontested coronation of Clinton as the party’s 2016 nominee for the White
House is a very risky idea and should encourage other Democrats to throw their
hats in the ring.
Sen.
Marco Rubio, a Republican candidate for president, said Sunday he believes
voters will reject Hillary because of the “cloud of constant scandal she brings
to the political process.”
Rubio
told Fox News Sunday, “Unfortunately, both under her husband’s presidency, her
time in the Department of State, her campaign for the president last time and
even now, there seems to be this cloud of constant scandal and things that
distract us from the core issues of the moment.”
Hillary’s “drama” could become a distraction,
Rubio warned, at a time when the stakes are high for America in the 2016
election.
“I
just think that at this hinge moment in our history, where we are asked to make
a transition from the past into this new future, with all the challenges and
the opportunities of our time that we really – the American people are not at a
point now where they are going to be supportive of more drama surrounding the
political process,” he said.
In
2003, ABC News’ Barbara Walters referenced numerous Clinton scandals from
Whitewater to Travelgate and the death of Hillary law partner Vince Foster in
an interview with then-Sen. Clinton.
Walters
asked Hillary, “How did you get in this mess where your whole credibility is
being questioned?”
Hillary’s
response: “Oh, I ask myself that every day, Barbara, because it’s very
surprising and confusing to me.”
With
Hillary making another run for president, don’t get caught up in the lies and
spin! In “Hillary Unhinged: In Her Own Words,” find out who the true Hillary is
with this raw and humorous collection of quotes that pitilessly underscores her
hypocrisy
With
the prospect of another “two-for-one” Clinton presidency looming, is America
ready for a repeat of the Bill and Hillary “drama” in the White House?
If,
as psychologists say, “The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior,”
then a fresh look at the top 20 scandals involving Hillary is in order.
1)
Clintons turn IRS into ‘gestapo’
Few
federal agencies are more feared and loathed by Americans than the Internal
Revenue Service – especially when corrupt presidents abuse the power of the IRS
to harass and exact revenge on political enemies. As WND has reported, during
Bill Clinton’s terms in office, IRS audits were conducted against individuals
and groups who caused problems for the administration. Several prominent
conservative groups found themselves facing IRS audits following their
criticism of the president and his policies. Among the conservative groups
targeted for audits were the Heritage Foundation, the National Rifle
Association, Concerned Women of America, Citizens Against Government Waste,
National Review, American Spectator (which was burglarized three times), the
National Center for Public Policy Research, the American Policy Center,
American Cause, Citizens for Honest Government, Progress and Freedom
Foundation, David Horowitz’s Center for the Study of Popular Culture and the
Western Journalism Center.
Individuals
singled out for audits during the administration included Clinton paramours
Gennifer Flowers and Liz Ward Gracen, sexual assault accusers Paula Jones and
Juanita Broaddrick, fired White House Travel Office Director Billy Dale and attorney
Kent Masterson Brown. Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, an outspoken critic of both Bill
and Hillary Clinton, said he was audited three times during the Clinton
presidency.
A
1996 survey by the Washington Times could not identify a single liberal public
policy organization that had been audited during the entire Clinton
administration.
2) Covering Bill’s dirty deeds
The
Clintons have been accused of hiring private investigators to not only dig up
dirt on perceived adversaries – such as Juanita Broaddrick, the woman allegedly
raped by Bill, and other abused women such as Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey
and Paula Jones – but to stalk, scare and threaten them. Willey asserts Hillary
was behind a campaign of intimidation and harassment against her that fit a
pattern employed against numerous other women whose claims of sexual
impropriety or assault by Bill Clinton threatened the couple’s political
fortunes.
As
WND reported, Willey and her husband, Ed, were Democratic activists who founded
Virginians for Clinton and helped send Bill and Hillary to the White House in
1992. While serving as a volunteer in the White House and facing financial hard
times, Willey says she met with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office to request a
paying position. But instead of getting help, she says, she was subjected to
“nothing short of serious sexual harassment.” Distraught, Willey fled Clinton’s
presence, only to discover that her husband Ed had committed suicide that same
tragic afternoon. Later, she was drawn “unwillingly” into the Paula Jones
lawsuit, the Ken Starr investigation and impeachment proceedings.
Willey,
author of the 2007 book, “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary
Clinton,” has claimed the Clinton tag team used mob-style intimidation campaign
to keep her silent, even purportedly breaking into her home to steal her
memoirs of the events.
Kathleen
Willey
Despite
Bill’s 20 years of alleged and admitted extra-marital relationships, Hillary
famously came to his defense shortly after the Monica Lewinsky affair broke in
1998. Asked about the accusations, the then-first lady said, “Certainly, I
believe they’re false. Absolutely.”
Then,
in a memorable interview with the “Today” show’s Matt Lauer, she explained
years of accusations by women such as Willey, Gennifer Flowers and Dolly Kyle
Browning: “Bill and I have been accused of everything, including murder, by some
of the very same people who are behind these allegations,” she said, pointing
to a “vast right-wing conspiracy. … So from my perspective this is part of a
continuing political campaign against my husband.”
What
makes a book about Bill and Hillary Clinton so explosive that someone would
STEAL it? Kathleen Willey tells America the shocking story in her book,
“Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton.”
Later,
however, when placed under oath, Bill Clinton admitted to an affair with Flowers,
as he did with Lewinksy. But Hillary’s actions, Willey contends, indicated by
word and deed that her main concern was to ensure her husband’s proclivities
didn’t ruin their political careers.
In
her book, Willey cites sources who contend Hillary began engaging private
investigators during their time in Arkansas so she could head off any
repercussions from her husband’s behavior. The first to be dispatched were her
own father and brother when she committed to marry Bill, according to author
Jerome Levin in “The Clinton Syndrome.” Bill had left Yale University for
Arkansas to teach law, and she went to work in Washington, D.C.
When
Bill was governor, Hillary sent out a group of investigators known at the
“Truth Squad” to discourage many of her husband’s lovers from going public.
When the Clintons left 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue in 2001, they reportedly vandalized and looted the White House. Hillary
tried to ship furniture to the Clintons’ personal home in Chappaqua, New York.
The Clintons came under fire when they reportedly tried to take $190,000 in
gifts and furnishings from the presidential mansion. Additionally, the General
Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress, reported that ”damage,
theft, vandalism and pranks did occur in the White House complex” during the
presidential transition from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush – including the
theft of a presidential seal. According to the General Accounting Office, the
cost of the White House vandalism reached about $14,000 and included $4,850 to
replace computer keyboards with damaged or missing “W” keys. The agency said
some of the destruction was intentional, including glue smeared on desks,
broken furniture, offices full of trash and graffiti in a men’s restroom stall
that disparaged Bush. There were also missing doorknobs, medallions and office
signs.
During
their time in the White House, the Clintons also reportedly auctioned off and
sold taxpayer-financed government goods and services in exchange for political
campaign contributions and personal profit. Among the items sold by the
Clintons, which Judicial Watch uncovered in various lawsuits, and the media and
Congress in their investigations, were: 1) seats on overseas trade missions; 2)
export licenses for high technology sales to communist China and elsewhere; 3)
commissionerships and judgeships; 4) rides on Air Force One; 5) overnight stays
in the White House’s Lincoln Bedroom; 6) graves at Arlington Cemetery; 7)
meetings with key Clinton-Gore administration leaders; and other favors.
The
Clintons’ $1.7 million home in Chappaqua, N.Y., where Hillary attempted to send
White House furniture and other items as her husband left office in 2001
The Clinton duo was involved in a scandal
known as “Filegate” in which they illegally obtaining FBI files on perceived
adversaries, most of whom served in previous Republican administrations.
“In
an effort to discredit the women who charged President Clinton with sexual
misconduct, personal files and papers were illegally obtained and released. The
courts found, under the Privacy Act, that the privacy of Linda Tripp and
Kathleen Willey had been violated,” a Judicial Watch report said, citing just a
few of more than 900 relevant files. Judicial Watch said Hillary had been
linked “directly to the center” of the controversy.
The
scandal was first detected by the House Government Reform and Oversight
Committee, which investigated the Clintons’ Travelgate caper. The committee
found that the FBI files had been improperly accessed by Craig Livingstone, a
former bar bouncer Hillary had hired to work in the White House Counsel’s
Office. However, Hillary called the whole affair a “completely honest
bureaucratic snafu.”

“Whores: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment,” Judicial Watch and
Freedom Watch Founder Larry Klayman details the stunning incompetence and
corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton
5)
Hillary’s ‘Muslim Brotherhood princess’
Huma
Abedin
Huma
Abedin, who served as Hillary’s longtime deputy chief of staff and has worked
with her for nearly 20 years, has known ties to the Muslim Brotherhood – a
group bent on “destroying Western civilization from within” – and other Islamic
supremacists. As WND has extensively reported, the Muslim Brotherhood and
Islamic supremacist connections not only extend to Abedin’s mother and father,
who are both deeply tied to al-Qaida fronts, but to Abedin herself.
As
WND reported, a manifesto commissioned by the ruling Saudi Arabian monarchy
places the work of an institute that employed Abedin at the forefront of a
grand plan to mobilize U.S. Muslim minorities to transform America into a
Saudi-style Islamic state, according to Arabic-language researcher Walid
Shoebat.
Abedin
was an assistant editor for a dozen years for the Journal of Muslim Minority
Affairs for the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs. The institute – founded
by her late father and currently directed by her mother – is backed by the
Muslim World League, an Islamic organization in the Saudi holy city of Mecca
that was founded by Muslim Brotherhood leaders. The 2002 Saudi manifesto shows
that “Muslim Minority Affairs” – the mobilizing of Muslim communities in the
U.S. to spread Islam instead of assimilating into the population – is a key
strategy in an ongoing effort to establish Islamic rule in America and a global
Shariah, or Islamic law, “in our modern times.”
Hillary
Clinton and Huma Abedin
WND
reported Abedin also was a member of the executive board of the Muslim Student
Association, which was identified as a Muslim Brotherhood front group in a 1991
document introduced into evidence during the terror-financing trial of the
Texas-based Holy Land Foundation.
At
her father’s Saudi-financed Islamic think tank, WND reported, Abedin worked
alongside Abdullah Omar Naseef, who is accused of financing al-Qaida fronts.
Naseef is deeply connected to the Abedin family.
WND
was first to report Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, was the official
representative of Naseef’s terror-stained Muslim World League in the 1990s.
Shoebat
previously reported that as one of 63 leaders of the Muslim Sisterhood, the de
facto female version of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saleha Abedin served alongside
Nagla Ali Mahmoud, the wife of Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohammed Morsi,
Egypt’s now ousted president.
Saleha
Abedin and Morsi’s wife both were members of the Sisterhood’s Guidance Bureau,
Shoebat found.
WND
also recently reported Abedin used emails hosted on HIllary’s private server
while she was secretary of state.
6)
Vince Foster’s 1993 death
Hillary
and Vince Foster
Vince
Foster was deputy White House counsel and Hillary’s friend and law partner who
had connections to the Travelgate and Whitewater scandals. In 1993, Foster was
found dead in a park with a fatal gunshot wound to his mouth. As WND reported,
his suicide was the subject of much speculation and three official
investigations.
Investigations
by the U.S. Park Police, the Department of Justice, the FBI, Congress,
Independent Counsel Robert B. Fiske and Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr
concluded Foster’s death was a suicide. However, as WND reported in 2003, one
of Starr’s key investigators challenged the official line, insisting the
probe’s result was predetermined, only a few plotters were required to engineer
the result, the crime scene was altered and that major newspaper editors killed
stories by reporters pursuing the truth. The Washington Post reported that
federal investigators were not allowed to enter Foster’s office after his
death, but “White House aides enter[ed] Foster’s office shortly after his
death, giving rise to speculation that files were removed from his office.”
In
his 2005 book “The Truth about Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, And
How Far She’ll Go to Become President,” Edward Klein wrote of Hillary’s
involvement in the effort to remove Foster’s files:
The
night of [Foster's] death, Hillary launched one of the most shameful – and
illegal – cover-ups of her entire career.
She
sent two of her most trusted White House loyalists – Maggie Williams, the First
Lady’s chief of staff, and Patsy Thomasson, who was in charge of White House
administration – into Foster’s office to retrieve embarrassing and
incriminating documents related to Whitewater and Hillary’s other personal
affairs. While White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum barred investigators from
entering Foster’s office, Maggie Williams, Patsy Thomasson, and Craig
Livingston, Hillary’s director of White House security, removed armloads of
files and loose-leaf binders.
“In
addition, a White House staffer allegedly tampered with the titles of several
memos and removed the First Lady’s initials in an effort to erase her role in
improper behavior.”
7)
Emailgate: ‘She should go to prison for this’
In March 2015, WND reported Hillary kept all
her official correspondence as secretary of state, as well as her personal
emails, on a private email server located at her home – instead of using the
government-mandated process while serving in the high appointed position. Her
email system was unsecured for months while she used it for government
business, and she did not sign a standard agreement when she left office that
promised she had left government property behind.
The
Hill reported Hillary did not encrypt her private email service with a digital
certificate for the first three months of her tenure as secretary of state.”
That was while she was traveling to China, Egypt, Israel, Japan and South
Korea.
Several
present and former members of the U.S. intelligence community said Hillary’s
private email server was a major security risk, and America, going forward,
ought to assume enemies of the state all had access to it.
“The
name Clinton right on the email handle meant this was not a difficult find,”
said John Schindler, a former National Security Agency counterintelligence
officer, Investors Business Daily reported.
With
Hillary making another run for president, don’t get caught up in the lies and
spin! In “Hillary Unhinged: In Her Own Words,” find out who the true Hillary is
with this raw and humorous collection of quotes that pitilessly underscores her
hypocrisy
In
April, J. Michael Waller – a longtime consultant to government entities ranging
from the secretary of defense to the U.S. Senate to the U.S. Marine Corps
Warfighting Laboratory – told WND the Russians hack into the U.S. government,
and so does any foreign intelligence worth its salt, most likely through
Hillary’s private server. Waller said Hillary deserves prison time for
insisting on an email system that clearly left the nation vulnerable to attack.
“This
is the national-security equivalent of drunken driving,” he said. “She should
go to prison for this. When you drink and drive, you know in advance that
you’re putting other people in danger. Yet, you think because you’re so smart
or so clever or just don’t care, that nothing’s going to happen and then
something does, so it’s your fault. This is precisely what she did on the
national security sphere.”
Hillary
gave 55,000 emails from her private email account to the State Department in
December. On March 10, Clinton announced she had deleted 30,000 emails she
considered personal. She was warned by Congress way back in 2012 against using
a private email account for government business – and her response? Silence.
8)
Chinagate: Sale of high-tech secrets
Chinagate,
documented by Judicial Watch, was uncovered by Judicial Watch founder Larry
Klayman. Technology companies allegedly made donations of millions of dollars to
various Democratic Party entities, including President Bill Clinton’s 1996
re-election campaign, in return for permission to sell high-tech secrets to
China. Bernard
Schwartz and his Loral Space & Communication Ltd. later allegedly “helped
China to identify the cause of [a rocket failure], thereby advancing China’s
missile program and threatening U.S. national security,” according to records.
In
a 2013 column titled “Proof Hillary isn’t fit to be president,” Klayman wrote:
Not
to be outdone by her prior scandals, Hillary … masterminded a scheme whereby
the Clinton-Gore presidential campaign of 1996 took bribes from communist
Chinese banks and their government to bankroll the president’s and the
Democratic Party’s re-election efforts when it appeared, due to their low
standing in the polls,
that all the stops needed to be pulled out. It was the
lawsuit that I brought against Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, where at
Hillary’s instruction, he literally sold seats on Department trade missions to
China and elsewhere, which principally uncovered this. In late 1996 and early
1997,
the scandal had burgeoned to such a level that joint congressional
hearings were empaneled, ultimately to be shut down when Democrats uncovered
illegal fundraising by some Republicans. The two parties, faced with mutual
assured destruction, simply took an exit stage left. However, I soldiered on
with my lawsuit. And, while I uncovered a lot about Bonnie and Clyde and their
Chinese ‘friends,’ this scandal ultimately took back seat to the Monica
Lewinsky scandal, since the media preferred sex to foreign espionage and graft.
Hillary and Bill were ironically saved by Monica, who became the lightening rod
drawing attention away to what at the time was perhaps the biggest scandal –
Chinagate – in American history.
9)
Travelgate: Always room for friends
In
the Travelgate scandal, the staff of the White House travel office was fired to
make way for Clinton cronies, including Bill’s 25-year-old cousin, who was
reportedly promised the position of office director.
Hillary
allegedly fired seven employees and gave the positions to her Arkansas friends.
According to the Washington Post, there was an effort to award a White House
airline contract to a Clinton friend.
Also,
Hillary reportedly had the FBI investigate the former head of the travel
office, Billy Dale, who was fired without notice and removed from White House
grounds. Dale was charged with embezzlement but found not guilty of the crime
in 1995. He was later audited by the IRS.
10)
Whitewater: Jail for friends, but not Clintons
The
Whitewater investigation by independent counsel Kenneth Starr began in 1994
with accusations of impropriety against the Clintons and others concerning
improper campaign contributions, political and financial favors, and tax
benefits. Its initial subject was a failed Arkansas real-estate venture
involving the Clintons in the 1980s that was linked to the collapse of Madison
Guaranty Savings and Loan, a Little Rock savings bank run by the Clintons’
Whitewater business partners. Clinton friends James and Susan McDougal went to
jail for fraud (James died while serving his sentence), as did former Arkansas
Gov. Jim Tucker and municipal judges David Hale and Eugene Fitzhugh.
The
probe eventually expanded to include the death of deputy White House counsel
Vincent Foster, the dismissal of White House travel office employees, receipt
by the White House of a number of FBI files and the issue of whether President
Clinton lied or obstructed justice to hide an affair with White House intern
Monica Lewinsky.
11)
‘Landing under sniper fire’ in Bosnia
In
her March 17, 2008, foreign-policy speech on Iraq, then-Sen. Hillary Clinton
recalled a trip she made to Tuzla, Bosnia, in 1996.
“I
remember landing under sniper fire,” Hillary said of her visit while she was
first lady. “There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the
airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles
to get to our base.”
But
news footage of her visit revealed her “sniper fire” claim wasn’t just
exaggerated. It was completely false. And Hillary had repeated the claim
several times, including during her time on the presidential campaign trail in
2007.
Rather,
Hillary landed on a tarmac and greeted a crowd, including an 8-year-old child
who gave her a poem, under no duress. According to the Washington Post, a
review of more than 100 news articles revealed no security threats to Hillary
at the time.
After
the 2008 speech, Hillary was asked about her statements, and she stood by them:
"There was no greeting ceremony, and we basically were told to run to our
cars. Now that is what happened."
But,
a week later, Hillary told the Philadelphia Daily News that she
"misspoke." Hillary claimed she had been told there was a threat of
sniper fire in the area.
The
following day, she declared: "So I made a mistake. That happens. It shows
I'm human, which for some people is a revelation."
12)
Hillary's 'missing' law firm billing records
In
1994, federal investigators subpoenaed Hillary's billing records from her days
as a partner in the Rose Law firm during the Watergate scandal. The White House
said it didn't have the 115 pages of files.
While
Hillary claimed she had a minor role in the affair, the Washington Examiner
reported that "when the records mysteriously turned up in the White House
in 1996, they showed she met repeatedly with key figures in the scandal."
13)
Pardongate: Hillary Senate contributions
Before
Bill Clinton left the White House in 2001, he granted numerous controversial
pardons – including to convicted tax evader Marc Rich, whose wife made
significant contributions to Hillary's 2000 Senate campaign and the Clinton
presidential library.
The
Associated Press reported that Rich had been "indicted by a U.S. federal
grand jury on more than 50 counts of fraud, racketeering, trading with Iran
during the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis and evading more than $48 million in
income taxes – crimes that could have earned him more than 300 years in
prison." Rich fled to Switzerland in 1983 after his indictment and
remained on the FBI's Most Wanted List until President Clinton pardoned him.
Also,
Hillary's brothers, Tony and Hugh Rodham, reportedly received large amounts of
money from people who were pardoned by Bill Clinton. Hillary said she and Bill
were unaware of the scheme.
Accuracy
in Media reported, "Hugh Rodham, Hillary’s brother, was taking money and
promising access to help get pardons. Two such high profile cases were those of
drug kingpin Carlos Vignali and convicted swindler Glenn Braswell. Rodham
received hundreds of thousands of dollars from each, and they were both granted
pardons. Rodham was quoted as telling a top White House aide that the pardon for
Vignali was 'very important' to Hillary."
pg
14)
Hillary's cash cows and 9,987 percent profit
In
March 1994, it was revealed Hillary – with no previous experience – had made
massive profits from cattle futures trading between 1978 and 1979, when Bill
Clinton's salary as Arkansas attorney general had been modest. She reportedly
made $99,537 in profit on a $1,000 investment (a 9,987 percent profit) in just
nine months because of a highly placed connection at Tyson Foods, which was the
largest employer in Arkansas and a big Clinton donor.
The
New York Times reported: "During Mr. Clinton's tenure as Governor, Tyson
benefited from several state decisions, including favorable environmental
rulings, $9 million in state loans, and the placement of company executives on
important state boards. … The commodities trades were the most successful
investment the Clintons ever made. The nearly $100,000 profit enabled them to
buy a house, invest in securities and real estate and provide a nest egg for
their daughter, Chelsea."
15) Clinton body count: 'You find dead people'
"The
Clinton body count," first published in WND and later circulated by Linda
Tripp to Monica Lewinsky, is a collection of names of people associated with
Clinton administration scandals who have died mysterious and often violent
deaths. Reporter David Bresnahan broke the story of the list during the summer
of 1997 while researching his book, "Cover Up: The Art and Science of
Political Deception."
"I
started looking into all the various deaths of people that were involved in
various Clinton scandals," Bresnahan said. "I started to investigate
the entire picture instead of just one focused event.
"Nobody
out there was putting it all together," he said. "If you look at one
scandal, you’ll find one dead guy. When you investigate all Clinton scandals,
you find similarities, you find common tactics, you find common actions and you
find dead people."
The
list was not just a source of terror among sworn enemies of the administration.
It was an even greater terror for those close to Clinton – for those closest,
it appeared, died younger and more inexplicably than those on the outside
looking in.
In
his research, Bresnahan came up with more than one list.
"Not
only did I find a list of dead people, but I also found that there are over 100
people who have refused to testify," he said at the time.
"There
is also a list of people who have gone to jail. There are 45 people who have
gone to jail, some of them White House staff, Cabinet members as well as people
from the Justice Department. So many of those (lists) developed when I started
to pursue the big picture."
Saul
Alinsky
16)
Hillary's radical pal, Saul Alinsky
As
WND has reported, the exact nature and extent of Hillary's relationship with
radical community organizer Saul Alinsky has long been the subject of
speculation and intrigue. The interest has been largely fueled by her
suppressed and later released 92-page senior thesis for Wellesley College
offering an extensive, largely positive critique of Alinsky and his work.
WND
recently found that long after Alinsky's death in June 1972, a group Clinton
co-chaired maintained a working relationship with Alinsky's main community
organizing outfit, the Industrial Areas Foundation, or IAF.
The
partnership extended into the 1990s and yielded influence over the education
policy of the Clinton presidency. Dick Morris, a former top political adviser
to Bill Clinton both as governor of Arkansas and as president, noted to WND
that education reform "is the key issue Hillary Clinton used to propel
herself independently to the forefront of Arkansas politics during Bill's
governorship."
"The
revelation of how closely linked her efforts were back in the 80s – and have
been since – to an Alinsky radical front group is deeply disturbing and expands
our understanding of Hillary's fundamental radicalism and commitment to the new
left of Saul Alinsky," Morris said.
Hillary
Rodham in 1965, when she was president of Wellesley College's Young
Republicans, shown here with the cover page of her senior thesis from 1969 on
radical organizer Saul Alinsky
Hillary
was said to have met with Alinsky several times in 1968, when she was writing
her thesis. In her most recent memoir, Hillary wrote that she rejected a job
offer from Alinsky to instead attend law school.
The
Hillary-Alinsky relationship received more media attention last September, when
the Washington Free Beacon uncovered direct correspondence between Clinton and
Alinsky from the archives of Alinsky's IAF. The correspondence dates to the
summer of 1971, when the 23-year-old Clinton was living in Berkeley,
California, and interning at the law firm Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein. In a
July 8, 1971, letter to Alinsky marked "personal," Hillary wrote:
"Dear Saul, When is that new book [Rules for Radicals] coming out – or has
it come and I somehow missed the fulfillment of Revelation?
"I
have just had my one-thousandth conversation about Reveille [for Radicals] and
need some new material to throw at people," she wrote, referring to a 1948
Alinsky treatise on community organizing.
The
Free Beacon's Alana Goodman noted the letter documents Hillary and Alinsky had
kept in touch since she entered Yale and that Alinsky even offered her advice
on campus activism.
Hillary
wrote that she missed their regular conversations and asked if Alinsky would be
able to meet her the next time he was in California.
"I
am living in Berkeley and working in Oakland for the summer and would love to
see you," she wrote. "Let me know if there is any chance of our
getting together."

Hillary laughs about defending child rapist
Hillary
Clinton in 1975, the year she defended 41-year-old Thomas Alfred Taylor, who
had been accused of raping a 12-year-old child
As
WND reported, Hillary explained her defense of a child-rape suspect as just
part of the job. But she hasn't explained her laughing about his passing of a
lie-detector test, which "destroyed" her faith in such evaluations.
"Once
I was appointed I fulfilled that obligation," she said in an interview
with Mumsnet, a U.K. community of parents providing and sharing information on
a variety of subjects and issues.
In
the video she is asked, "As a lawyer, you defended the rapist of a
12-year-old girl, calling the victim 'emotionally unstable' and saying that
girls have a tendency to 'exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences
especially when they come from disorganized families.'"
Comments?
Clinton
said: "When I was a 27-year-old attorney doing legal aid work at the law
school where I taught in Fayetteville, Arkansas, I was appointed by the local
judge to represent a criminal defendant accused of rape. I asked to be relieved
of that responsibility. But I was not and I had a professional duty to
represent my client to the best of my ability, which I did.
"He
later pled guilty to a lesser included offense. When you're a lawyer you often
don't have the choice as to who you will represent, and by the very nature of
criminal law there will be those who you represent you don't approve of, but at
least in our system, you have an obligation and once I was appointed, I
fulfilled that obligation."
However,
she did not address the reports of unearthed recordings in which she almost
boasts of knowing of her client's guilt and laughing about the case. The tapes
reveal her discussing the case of Thomas Alfred Taylor, then 41, who was
accused of raping a 12-year-old in Springdale, Arkansas, on May 10, 1975.
"It
was a fascinating case, it was a very interesting case," Clinton said on
the tape. "This guy was accused of raping a 12-year-old. Course he claimed
that he didn't, and all this stuff. … I had him take a polygraph, which he
passed – which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs." She laughed at
the statement.
The
Washington Free Beacon report on the recordings also confirmed she was laughing
several other times while discussing the case, including "when discussing
the crime lab's accidental destruction of DNA evidence that tied Taylor to the
crime."
Published
profiles of the case reveal that Clinton's strategy at the time was to attack
the 12-year-old. She submitted an affidavit that said she was told the girl was
"emotionally unstable" and was viewed as having a "tendency to
seek out older men and engage in fantasizing." She claimed the child
"in the past made false accusations" and she exhibited "an
unusual stubbornness and temper when she does not get her way."
The
woman who says she was raped by the defendant blasted Hillary in 2014, accusing
her of intentionally lying about her in court documents. "Hillary Clinton
took me through hell," she told the Daily Beast.

Hill ca$hes in: Iranian fundraising
Former
Clinton fundraiser Hassan Nemazee received a 12-year prison sentence in 2010
As
WND recently reported, Hillary received funds from an arm of the Iranian
government and hired a convicted Iranian-American multimillionaire with ties to
Tehran as her national campaign finance director in 2008. The Bill, Hillary,
and Chelsea Clinton Foundation accepted $30,000 between April 2005 and March
2006 and another contribution of between $25,000 and $50,000 in 2008 from the
New York-based Alavi Foundation, which U.S. government prosecutors have
identified as an arm of the Iranian government.
For
her 2008 presidential campaign, Clinton hired Hassan Nemazee as her national
campaign finance director, who was known for his efforts to normalize relations
with the theocratic Iranian regime. In 2010, Nemazee pleaded guilty to running
a Ponzi scheme in which he obtained $292 million in fraudulent loans. He was
sentenced to 12 years in prison.
In
his explosive bestseller, "Clinton Cash," Peter Schweizer follows the
Clinton money trail, revealing the connection between their personal fortune,
their “close personal friends,” the Clinton Foundation, foreign nations and
some of the highest ranks of government.
Rachel
Ehrenfeld, director of the American Center for Democracy, spelled out the
problem with the Clinton Foundation receiving funds from the Alavi Foundation
in a Jan. 5, 2009, article published by Forbes.
"Alavi's
contribution [in 2008] to Clinton came just two days after the Treasury
Department also designated Alavi's partner, the New York-based Assa Corp., as a
terrorist entity, and the New York Southern District's attorney seized and
forfeited its assets," Ehrenfeld wrote.

Clinton Foundation: Scandals keep coming
As
WND reported, the Clintons appear to have siphoned off tens of millions of
dollars annually from funds the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation
has received from a United Nations-sponsored program that uses levies on
airline tickets to help HIV/AIDs victims in the Third World, charges Wall
Street analyst and investor Charles Ortel. The Clinton Foundation also
reportedly distributed useless drugs to AIDS patients in Third-World countries.
Although
Hillary was appointed to the board of directors of the Clinton Foundation in
2013, after she had resigned as secretary of state, Ortel contends she is
complicit in what he has described as systematic financial fraud warranting a
criminal investigation.
After
months of tedious investigation, Ortel has concluded the foundation has filed
financial and tax forms that were materially misleading, incomplete and in
error with the goal of enriching the Clintons and their close associates. Ortel
alleges Hillary advanced an “inurement” scheme – enriching oneself through a
nonprofit organization – in complicity with her husband by positioning various
key associates within the Clinton Foundation structure while she served as U.S.
senator from New York and subsequently as secretary of state under President
Obama.
“Ongoing
analysis of legally required public disclosures reveals that while Mrs. Clinton
served as director, the Clinton Foundation and its principal constituent
elements, filed false and materially misleading tax returns with the IRS and
with other governmental authorities, for multiple years,” Ortel charges in his
second report on alleged Clinton Foundation mismanagement.
As
WND also recently reported, based on Ortel’s findings, a prominent lawyer and a
top government watchdog in the nation’s capital are calling for the Clinton
Foundation to be shut down.

America's independent news network.
In
April, the New York Times reported, "Cash flowed to Clinton Foundation as
Russians pressed for control of uranium company."
Hillary
has said, "I am very proud of the work the Foundation does," but just
9 percent of the Foundation's money went to charity in 2013.
Fox News' John
Stossel noted, "Charity Navigator, the biggest charity rating service,
won’t even list the Clinton Foundation in its rankings. This is repulsive. If a
Republican candidate ran a charity that did that, it would be a scandal. But
the Clintons must be immune."
WND
reported Sunday that before Hillary completed her first year as President
Obama’s secretary of state, Ortel calculates $17 million went missing from Clinton
Foundation financial reports.
The
New York Post recently reported Hillary's former chief of staff and counselor,
Cheryl Mills, "knows where the bodies are buried" in many Clinton
scandals, has been at Hillary's side since the 1990s and "has a long track
record of hiding Clinton documents." According to the Post, Hillary gave
her the job of "identifying and preserving all emails that could
potentially be federal records." The Post added, "And, presumably,
deleting." Mills, who has officially been accused of perjury and
obstruction of justice, is a key member of the Clinton Foundation board.
20) Benghazi: 4 American lives lost
On
Sept. 11, 2012, while Hillary was secretary of state, Islamic militants
attacked a U.S. special mission in Benghazi, Libya, and murdered U.S.
Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information
Management officer Sean Smith. Two CIA contractors, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty,
were also killed.
In
the months leading up to the attack, Hillary's State Department cut security in
Libya. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., accused
Hillary of "dereliction of duty" that led to the deaths of the four
Americans.
"The
State Department not only failed to honor repeated requests for additional
security, but instead actually reduced security in Libya," Johnson wrote
in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Although no one can say with
certainty, I firmly believe a relatively small contingent of armed military
guards would have prevented the attack, and those four lives would not have
been lost."
In
"The REAL Benghazi Story: What the White House and Hillary Don't Want You
to Know," New York Times bestselling author Aaron Klein provides shocking
details about the central role Hillary Clinton actually played in the scandal
As
WND reported, a security decision finalized personally by Hillary may have
unwittingly doomed the Americans in Benghazi. Hillary herself signed waivers
that allowed the facility to be legally occupied, since it did not meet the
minimum official security standards set by the State Department. The waiver
legally allowed the CIA annex to be housed in a location about one mile from
the U.S. special mission.
According
to accounts from Benghazi survivors, the delayed response time by those at the
CIA annex may have cost the lives of Stevens and the three other Americans
killed at the special mission. If the CIA annex had been co-located with the
U.S. special mission, a rapid response team would have been on site during the
initial assault in which Stevens was killed. Clinton’s waiver allowed the CIA
annex to be housed at the separate location.
Hillary
Clinton testifying on the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attack
As
WND also reported, State Department emails show Clinton knew while the attack
was under way that it was being carried out by terrorists.
Judicial
Watch has obtained previously classified documents from the U.S. Department of
Defense and the Department of State revealing that DOD almost immediately
reported that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was planned
and carried out by al-Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood-linked terrorists. A federal
court ordered the government hand over more than 100 pages of previously secret
documents that showed then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other senior
Obama officials were given reports within hours of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack.
In those memos, the DOD described details of a plan 10 days in advance “to kill
as many Americans as possible.”
Nonetheless,
Hillary falsely blamed it on "rage and violence over an awful Internet
video" when she spoke at a ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base on Sept. 14,
2012, as the remains of the four Americans were returned to the U.S.
To
this day, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., says the State Department has failed to
comply with requests for information about Benghazi.

Peter Franklin Paul: Another Hillary friend goes to prison
Hillary
Clinton greets Peter Paul at Hollywood gala in August 2000 (Courtesy Peter F.
Paul)
As
WND reported, Hillary was named in a lawsuit brought by Peter Franklin Paul for
allegedly directing to her 2000 Senate campaign an illegal, in-kind
contribution from Paul that included a fundraiser at the exclusive Spago
restaurant in Beverly Hills, a tea hosted at the Beverly Hills home of
socialite Cynthia Gershman and a lavish, A-list, million-dollar-plus Hollywood
gala honoring Bill Clinton. At the trial of Clinton’s finance director for the
2000 senatorial campaign, David Rosen, the government told the jury Paul
personally gave more than $1.2 million to produce the events.
Paul,
a former business partner of Spider-Man creator Stan Lee who sued Bill for
fraud and accused Hillary of hiding nearly $2 million in Senate campaign
donations, alleged they sabotaged the media company he formed with Lee to get
out of a $17 million agreement made with Bill Clinton to serve as an
international promoter for the company after he left the White House. Paul was
indicted in June 2001 for manipulating the price of the stock in his company,
Stan Lee Media, as it was collapsing.
A judge determined Paul didn’t profit
from the attempt to save his company, but he accepted a plea bargain and served
three years in prison. WND reported in 2012 that Paul charged Attorney General
Eric Holder and his Justice Department obstructed justice by reneging on a
sentencing agreement.
“Hillary
is carrying out her promise to finally destroy my family to punish me for
exposing the corruption that elected her to the Senate,” Paul told WND at the
time.
The
Clintons were effusive in their praise of Paul until just days after an August
2000 Hollywood gala, when the Washington Post reported Paul’s 1970s criminal
convictions in a story that accused the senator of being soft on crime. Clinton
continued, however, to quietly solicit money from Paul and sent him letters
expressing friendship. Paul has extensive video corroborating his contention he
and Hillary spent hours together and sat next to each other at the fundraising
events.

Watergate: Fired for being a 'liar'
Hillary
actually played a role in the Watergate saga, and her actions as a young attorney
may have set the tone for her career.
The
27-year-old Clinton was fired from the staff of the House Judiciary committee
investigating the Watergate scandal in 1974. She was fired by her supervisor,
lifelong Democrat Jerry Zeifman, who called her a liar and much worse.
"She
was an unethical, dishonest lawyer," he said. "She conspired to
violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee
and the rules of confidentiality."
Zeifman
also refused to give Clinton a letter of recommendation, making her one of only
three employees he snubbed during his 17-year career.
Hillary
Clinton and Princess Lalla Meryem wearing Moroccan caftan
Gift-gate:
Hillary blasted former Clinton adviser Dick Morris when he alleged in a New
York Post article that the former first lady hadn't disclosed "three or
four" pricey handbags from designer Judith Leiber worth more than $3,000
each, five dresses received from the king of Morocco (one of which Hillary was
seen wearing), a gold bracelet Chelsea Clinton accepted in India and other
gifts Hillary was given during the Clinton administration.
Morris
wrote, "Hillary Clinton got many expensive and personal gifts during her
eight years as first lady and never disclosed them."
A
Clinton aide acknowledged the handbags were given to Hillary, but he said one
was received before the inauguration, another was listed on a 1994 disclosure
form and others were turned over to the National Archives. He said four dresses
were returned to the king, and Hillary gave the fifth dress to the National
Archives after she wore it. The aide claimed the bracelet was also sent to the
National Archives.
ary Clinton
says that she is the most transparent woman in American politics. There's just
one problem - Hillary Clinton lies... a lot. Ben Shapiro takes a trip in the
way back machine to look at a few of the more egregious examples.
TRANSCRIPT:
Hillary
Clinton is the most transparent woman she knows. She said so in 2008:
I think I’m
probably the most transparent person in public life…I feel you know a lot more
about me than you know about anyone else. Much of it untrue, but nevertheless,
it’s all out there.
Unfortunately,
Hillary is a liar. When news emerged this week that Hillary had set up a
private email server the day before her nomination as Secretary of State, and
had used her private email address for her entire tenure as Secretary of State
so that there were no government records of those emails, and that her aides
also used private email addresses, and that her server had the capacity to
fully delete emails, and that hackers could have hacked her emails…no one
should have been surprised. Of course she did.
Let’s take a
trip in the wayback machine.
When Hillary
Clinton was 27, back in 1974, she worked for the House Judiciary Committee,
which was investigating Richard Nixon. According to her boss, Democrat Jerry
Zeifman, Hillary met with Teddy Kennedy’s chief political strategist – a
violation of House rules. She then manipulated the system to avoid
investigating Nixon, hoping he’d stick around long enough to sink Republican
election chances in 1976, letting her boy Teddy into the White House.
According to
the guy who shared office space with Hillary, John Labovitz, Hillary gave
“erroneous legal opinions” and tried to “deny Nixon representation by counsel.”
Zeifman said that Hillary wrote a “fraudulent legal brief” and “confiscated
public documents.” Zeifman fired her and wouldn’t give her a letter of recommendation.
Zeifman later wrote a book stating that “Hillary Clinton is ethically unfit to
be either a senator or president.”
Fast forward
twenty years. Hillary’s now in the White House, and there’s a big search going
on for a memorandum written by a former presidential aide regarding the firing
of members of the White House travel office. They go missing for two years. At
the same time, documents regarding Hillary Clinton’s work at the Rose Law firm
in Arkansas – specifically, regarding a savings and loan company run by the
Clintons’ business partner in the Whitewater land venture – go missing for two
years.
Then, in
January 1996, they miraculously appear. The Rose Law firm documents magically
show up. A White House aide finds them. In the White House. In a storage area
in the third-floor of the White House – the private residence of the President
and First Lady. And the long-lost memo shows up just a couple of days later.
How miraculous. Hillary’s lawyers said that she had no idea the documents were
there. Except that the FBI found Hillary’s fingerprints on the documents.
Oopsies. Hillary is still the only First Lady in American history to be
fingerprinted by the FBI.
All that was
before the rise of email. But the Clintons loved email, because it was so much
easier to hide emails than to track down every copy of every document for
destruction. And hide those emails they did. According to Judicial Watch,
Cheryl Mills, Hillary’s hatchet woman helped prevent the Clintons from turning
over 1.8 million emails to Judicial Watch, Congress, and federal investigators.
1.8 million emails. When a White House computer contractor tried to reveal
this, White House officials allegedly told her to “keep her mouth shut.” Cheryl
Mills. You may remember her. She ended up being in charge of document
production for Hillary’s State Department in the Benghazi investigation.
When she was
Secretary of State, over and over again, document requests to the State
Department were rejected, because they didn’t have the documents – Hillary did,
on her private server. The Associated Press hit a stonewall. So did Judicial
Watch. So did Gawker.
All a big
coincidence, of course. It was all a big mixup when Clinton hit man Sandy
Berger stole documents from the National Archives and stuffed them down his
pants, too. And now Hillary has assured us via Twitter that she wants the State
Department to release all her hidden emails.
We should
believe her. After all, she’s the most transparent woman in American history.
At least, the most transparently corrupt.
Thus it is left to us to debunk her various obfuscations and untruths. Here we go.
“I have spent a very long time – my entire adult life – looking for ways…to find the ways for each child to live up to his or her God-given potential.” Well, unless you’re an unborn child. Then, get ready for a trip down the sink.
“Yes, finally, fathers will be able to say to their daughters, you, too, can grow up to be president.” Technically, you’ll have to marry a president first, however.
“Actually, I have been very consistent.” Anderson Cooper asked Hillary about her shifting positions on issues ranging from the Iraq war to same-sex marriage to the Trans-Pacific Partnership. She then dropped that whopper. Hillary has been one of the least consistent major party candidates in American history. She then dropped a series of lies about her own positional changes. And then she finally concluded that she had a “range of views, but they are rooted in my values and my experience.” Those values are “becoming president” and her experience is “reading the polls.”
“I did say, when I was secretary of state, three years ago, that I hoped it would be the gold standard. It was just finally negotiated last week, and in looking at it, it didn’t meet my standards.” This is plainly untrue. Here’s what she said in 2012 about the TPP: “This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field.” She didn’t hope it would be the gold standard. It was the gold standard. Naturally, PolitiFact labeled this statement “half-true.” That means it’s a huge, glaring lie.
“I’m a progressive. But I’m a progressive who likes to get things done…how to find common ground, and I have proved that in every position that I’ve had, even dealing with Republicans who never had a good word to say about me, honestly.” Nope. As Senator from New York, Hillary accomplished virtually nothing. Her name was attached to exactly zero legislation. Her only major impact on policy came in the form of Hillarycare, which drove Republicans to massive electoral victory in 1994.
“When I think about capitalism, I think about all the small businesses that were started…” The media drooled over the exchange between Hillary and Bernie over capitalism. But there is no distinction between the economic philosophy of
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
and that of Hillary Clinton. She said she wanted to use government to force companies to “share profits with the workers” – a line straight from the Marxist playbook. She said she wanted the wealthy to “pay their fair share” – which meant everything. She said she wanted paid family leave, universal college tuition availability, and a bevy of other free goodies. As I tweeted before the debate, her competition with Bernie Sanders looked like this:
“It was pretty straightforward to me that [Sanders] was going to give immunity to the only industry in America. Everybody else has to be accountable, but not the gun manufacturers.” There is no special immunity for gun manufacturers. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act of 2005 was designed to prevent ultra-leftist jurisdictions from twisting tort law to make gun manufacturers liable for “public nuisance” in the way that manufacturers are liable for their pollution. The law does not stop lawsuits against manufacturers or dealers from being sued if they knowingly sell a product to a criminal. They can still be sued for design flaws, or negligence.
“Well first of all, we got a lot of business done with the Russians when Medvedev was the president, and not Putin….There’s no doubt that when Putin came back in and said he was going to be President, that did change the relationship.” Nonsense. Putin was always the leader of Russia, even when Medvedev was his puppet. Hillary knew Putin ran the country when Medvedev was president; Medvedev, for example, was president when Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. Hillary handed the Russians a reset button anyway. Hillary also advocated for taking on Bashar Assad – the same man she once called a “reformer.”
“I think while you’re talking about the tough decision that President Obama had to make about Osama bin Laden, where I was one of his few advisers, or putting together that coalition to impose sanctions on Iran…” Glomming onto the kill of Osama Bin Laden in order to explain her vote for the Iraq war was simply nonsensical. But the idea that she “put together the coalition to impose sanctions on Iran” is simply untrue. International sanctions against Iran have been on the books for decades. And Hillary was integrally involved in negotiating the end of those sanctions, as well as letting Iran enrich uranium.
“We had a murderous dictator, Gadhafi, who had American blood on his hands, as I’m sure you remember, threatening to massacre large numbers of the Libyan people… Our response, which I think was smart power at its best, is that the United States will not lead this.” Hillary reportedly manufactured the Libyan genocide story out of wholecloth, and overrode US intelligence in order to push that narrative. If Libya was “smart power at its best,” it would be incredible to find out what “smart power at its worst” would be (well, other than Syria, Ukraine, Iran…). Libya became a haven for terrorists because we deposed a dictator who posed no threat to us. The notion that Iraq was a disaster area of American foreign policy but Libya is a great success story is patently insane. Hillary’s lies about Libya didn’t end there.
“I’ll get to that.” Hillary said this with regard to Benghazi. She never did, of course. Her response mirrored her response in Benghazi, by the way: “I’ll get back to that,” she said to our Libyan staff, then proceeded to do nothing.
“The Libyan people had a free election the first time since 1951. And you know what, they voted for moderates, they voted with the hope of democracy.” It would be important to remember that the Libyan government is currently operating with no control of the country, and is effectively a government-in-exile.
“I think it has to be continued threat from the spread of nuclear weapons, nuclear material that can fall into the wrong hands. I know the terrorists are constantly seeking it, and that’s why we have to stay vigilant, but also united around the world to prevent that.” Hillary said the spread of nuclear weapons represented the chief threat to the United States. She also negotiated the Iran nuclear deal. The statement that people around the world are united to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons is a plain lie, given the acceptance of the Iran deal, which makes Iranian nuclear development inevitable.
“Well, I’ve taken responsibility for it. I did say it was a mistake. What I did was allowed by the State Department, but it wasn’t the best choice. And I have been as transparent as I know to be, turning over 55,000 pages of my e-mails, asking that they be made public. And you’re right. I am going to be testifying. I’ve been asking to testify for some time and to do it in public, which was not originally agreed to.” Lies, lies, and more lies. She did not take responsibility for her email scandal any more than she took responsibility for Benghazi: she said she “took responsibility” but never admitted to having done anything wrong. Her email scheme was not allowed by federal law, but she was the head of the State Department and thus waived rules for herself. She may have been as transparent as she knows how to be, but that transparency involved setting up a private server, loading it with classified information, and then deleting some 30,000 emails. She only asked to testify after Congress demanded she testify. Fortunately, none of this mattered, since Bernie Sanders intervened to hand her his testicles in a jar by saying nobody cared about her emails.
“I want to make sure every single person in this country has the same opportunities that he and I have had, to make the most of their God-given potential and to have the chances that they should have in America for a good education, good job training, and then good jobs.” Not everyone can marry the president of the United States.
“This inequality challenge we face, we have faced it at other points. It’s absolutely right. It hasn’t been this bad since the 1920s. But if you look at the Republicans versus the Democrats when it comes to economic policy, there is no comparison. The economy does better when you have a Democrat in the White House and that’s why we need to have a Democrat in the White House in January 2017.” If Democrats are so great at economics, why is inequality as bad as it has been in a century? And saying that Democratic presidents preside over good economies seems to neglect the fact that Bill Clinton, for example, presided over a Republican Congress.
“We have to deal with the problem that the banks are still too big to fail. We can never let the American taxpayer and middle class families ever have to bail out the kind of speculative behavior that we saw.” In this debate, Hillary Clinton also backed Dodd-Frank, which legally enshrines too big to fail. Bailouts are now mandated by federal law, thanks to Hillary Clinton and Democrats. And Democratic policyloves bailouts – they are huge fans of crony capitalism, endless bailouts through stimulus packages and taxpayer giveaways.
“I represented Wall Street, as a senator from New York, and I went to Wall Street in December of 2007 — before the big crash that we had — and I basically said, ‘Cut it out! Quit foreclosing on homes! Quit engaging in these kinds of speculative behaviors.’” This is idiocy. Hillary did do this, but saying that Wall Street was engaging in risky behavior, and that therefore they should have give more loans to risky home buyers and stop foreclosing on bad buyers – well, that’s just dumb. Those practices led to the crisis in the first place.
“I never took a position on Keystone until I took a position on Keystone.” True, actually. But brutally stupid nonetheless. She also said she would not take a position on pot legalization. No shock there.
“I have been on the forefront of dealing with climate change, starting in 2009, when President Obama and I crashed (ph) a meeting with the Chinese and got them to sign up to the first international agreement to combat climate change that they’d ever joined.” The Copenhagen Summit in 2009 was an international fiasco for the United States. As Michael Bastasch notes, “the summit quickly fell apart and no legally-binding agreement was signed. The summit was widely regarded as a failure, and even Obama was disappointed in the results.” The United States ended up signing onto a non-binding agreement that pledged $100 billion in funding to impoverished countries.
“My plan would enable anyone to go to a public college or university tuition free.” College is not free. Somebody pays for it. Who? As always, the wealthy.
“I think that it was necessary to make sure that we were able after 9/11 to put in place the security that we needed. And it is true that it did require that there be a process. What happened, however, is that the Bush administration began to chip away at that process. And I began to speak out about their use of warrantless surveillance and the other behavior that they engaged in.” Hillary Clinton voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act in 2006. And Hillary’s supposed leadership against Bush-era abuses of the Patriot Act didn’t stop President Obama from expanding the use of surveillance far beyond what Bush ever did.
“Well, I can’t think of anything more of an outsider than electing the first woman president, but I’m not just running because I would be the first woman president….Well, I would not ask anyone to vote for me based on my last name.” False and false.
“California has had a paid leave program for a number of years….And it has not had the ill effects that the Republicans are always saying it will have.”California uses employee payroll taxes to finance paid family leave. That means all the costs of the program are hidden, rather than explicit. Businesses leave California and employment declines because of its high tax rates. Businesses hire fewer women if forced to pay higher taxes in order to do so.
“They don’t mind having big government to interfere with a woman’s right to choose and to try to take down Planned Parenthood. They’re fine with big government when it comes to that. I’m sick of it.” Republicans want to defund Planned Parenthood. That’s not big government. That’s small government. Further, it’s not “big government” to protect human life through force of law any more than it is “big government” to have murder laws on the books.
