<\/a>Hillary Clinton<\/p><\/div>\n
During his 1992 campaign for the presidency, Bill Clinton was fond of promising America, \u201cYou get two for the price of one,\u201d indicating Hillary Clinton would act as his co-president.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
After the Clintons moved into the presidential mansion, the political scandals multiplied \u2013 from use of the IRS and FBI to target political opponents to stalking and harassing subjects of Bill Clinton\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Bill Clinton\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, it\u2019s Hillary\u2019s \u201cturn\u201d to be president<\/a>, according to her Democrat supporters.<\/p>\n But in 2015, America is still apparently suffering from \u201cClinton fatigue.\u201d Results from a Quinnipiac poll published in April revealed<\/a> between 49 and 56 percent of voters in three significant swing states \u2013 Colorado, Virginia and Iowa \u2013 believe Hillary is neither honest nor trustworthy.<\/p>\n Even former California Democratic Party Chairman Bill Press told WND<\/a> that controversies surrounding Hillary should convince members of his own party an uncontested coronation of Clinton as the party\u2019s 2016 nominee for the White House is a very risky idea and should encourage other Democrats to throw their hats in the ring.<\/p>\n Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican candidate for president, said Sunday he believes voters will reject Hillary because of the \u201ccloud of constant scandal she brings to the political process.\u201d<\/p>\n Rubio told Fox News Sunday<\/a>, \u201cUnfortunately, both under her husband\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hillary\u2019s \u201cdrama\u201d could become a distraction, Rubio warned, at a time when the stakes are high for America in the 2016 election.<\/p>\n \u201cI 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\u00a0\u2013 the American people are not at a point now where they are going to be supportive of more drama surrounding the political process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n In 2003, ABC News\u2019 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.<\/p>\n Walters asked Hillary, \u201cHow did you get in this mess where your whole credibility is being questioned?\u201d<\/p>\n Hillary\u2019s response: \u201cOh, I ask myself that every day, Barbara, because it\u2019s very surprising and confusing to me.\u201d<\/p>\n With the prospect of another \u201ctwo-for-one\u201d Clinton presidency looming, is America ready for a repeat of the Bill and Hillary \u201cdrama\u201d in the White House?<\/p>\n If, as psychologists say, \u201cThe best predictor of future behavior is past behavior,\u201d then a fresh look at the top 20 scandals involving Hillary is in order.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1) Clintons turn IRS into \u2018gestapo\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Few federal agencies are more feared and loathed by Americans than the Internal Revenue Service \u2013 especially when corrupt presidents abuse the power of the IRS to harass and exact revenge on political enemies. As WND has reported<\/a>, during Bill Clinton\u2019s 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\u2019s Center for the Study of Popular Culture and the Western Journalism Center.<\/p>\n 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<\/a> and attorney Kent Masterson Brown. Fox News\u2019 Bill O\u2019Reilly, an outspoken critic of both Bill and Hillary Clinton, said he was audited three times during the Clinton presidency.<\/p>\n A 1996 survey by the Washington Times could not identify a single liberal public policy organization<\/a> that had been audited during the entire Clinton administration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Clintons have been accused of hiring private investigators to not only dig up dirt on perceived adversaries \u2013 such as Juanita Broaddrick, the woman allegedly raped by Bill, and other abused women such as Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones \u2013 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\u2019s political fortunes.<\/p>\n As WND reported, <\/a>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 \u201cnothing short of serious sexual harassment.\u201d Distraught, Willey fled Clinton\u2019s presence, only to discover that her husband Ed had committed suicide that same tragic afternoon. Later, she was drawn \u201cunwillingly\u201d into the Paula Jones lawsuit, the Ken Starr investigation and impeachment proceedings.<\/p>\n Willey, author of the 2007 book, \u201cTarget: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton,\u201d<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n Kathleen Willey<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Despite Bill\u2019s 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, \u201cCertainly, I believe they\u2019re false. Absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n Then, in a memorable interview with the \u201cToday\u201d show\u2019s Matt Lauer, she explained years of accusations by women such as Willey, Gennifer Flowers and Dolly Kyle Browning: \u201cBill and I have been accused of everything, including murder, by some of the very same people who are behind these allegations,\u201d she said, pointing to a \u201cvast right-wing conspiracy. \u2026 So from my perspective this is part of a continuing political campaign against my husband.\u201d<\/p>\n Later, however, when placed under oath, Bill Clinton admitted to an affair with Flowers, as he did with Lewinksy. But Hillary\u2019s actions, Willey contends, indicated by word and deed that her main concern was to ensure her husband\u2019s proclivities didn\u2019t ruin their political careers.<\/p>\n In her book, Willey cites sources who contend Hillary began engaging private investigators<\/a> during their time in Arkansas so she could head off any repercussions from her husband\u2019s behavior. The first to be dispatched were her own father and brother when she committed to marry Bill, according to author Jerome Levin in \u201cThe Clinton Syndrome.\u201d Bill had left Yale University for Arkansas to teach law, and she went to work in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n When Bill was governor, Hillary sent out a group of investigators known at the \u201cTruth Squad\u201d to discourage many of her husband\u2019s lovers from going public.<\/p>\n 3) Looting the White House<\/strong><\/p>\n When the Clintons left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2001, they reportedly vandalized<\/a> and looted<\/a> the White House. Hillary tried to ship furniture to the Clintons\u2019 personal home in Chappaqua, New York<\/a>. 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 \u201ddamage, theft, vandalism and pranks did occur in the White House complex\u201d during the presidential transition from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush \u2013 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 \u201cW\u201d 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\u2019s restroom stall that disparaged Bush. There were also missing doorknobs, medallions and office signs.<\/p>\n During their time in the White House, the Clintons also reportedly auctioned off and sold taxpayer-financed government goods and services<\/a> 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\u2019s Lincoln Bedroom; 6) graves at Arlington Cemetery; 7) meetings with key Clinton-Gore administration leaders; and other favors.<\/p>\n 4) Filegate: FBI files on GOP enemies<\/strong><\/p>\n The Clinton duo was involved in a scandal known as \u201cFilegate\u201d in which they illegally obtaining FBI files on perceived adversaries<\/a>, most of whom served in previous Republican administrations.<\/p>\n \u201cIn 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,\u201d a Judicial Watch report said<\/a>, citing just a few of more than 900 relevant files. Judicial Watch said Hillary had been linked \u201cdirectly to the center\u201d of the controversy.<\/p>\n The scandal was first detected by the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, which investigated the Clintons\u2019 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\u2019s Office. However, Hillary called the whole affair a \u201ccompletely honest bureaucratic snafu.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n 5) Hillary\u2019s \u2018Muslim Brotherhood princess\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Huma Abedin, who served as Hillary\u2019s longtime deputy chief of staff and has worked with her for nearly 20 years, has known ties to the Muslim Brotherhood \u2013 a group bent on \u201cdestroying Western civilization from within\u201d \u2013 and other Islamic supremacists. As WND has extensively reported, the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic supremacist connections not only extend to Abedin\u2019s mother and father, who are both deeply tied to al-Qaida fronts, but to Abedin herself.<\/p>\n 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 \u2013 founded by her late father and currently directed by her mother \u2013 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 \u201cMuslim Minority Affairs\u201d \u2013 the mobilizing of Muslim communities in the U.S. to spread Islam instead of assimilating into the population \u2013 is a key strategy in an ongoing effort to establish Islamic rule in America and a global Shariah, or Islamic law, \u201cin our modern times.\u201dAs WND reported<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n WND reported<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n At her father\u2019s Saudi-financed Islamic think tank, WND reported<\/a>, Abedin worked alongside Abdullah Omar Naseef, who is accused of financing al-Qaida fronts. Naseef is deeply connected to the Abedin family.<\/p>\n WND was first to report<\/a> Huma\u2019s mother, Saleha Abedin, was the official representative of Naseef\u2019s terror-stained Muslim World League in the 1990s.<\/p>\n 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\u2019s now ousted president.<\/p>\n Saleha Abedin and Morsi\u2019s wife both were members of the Sisterhood\u2019s Guidance Bureau, Shoebat found<\/a>.<\/p>\n WND also recently reported Abedin used emails hosted on HIllary\u2019s private server while she was secretary of state<\/a>.<\/p>\n 6) Vince Foster\u2019s 1993 death<\/strong><\/p>\n 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\u2019s death was a suicide. However, as WND reported in 2003<\/a>, one of Starr\u2019s key investigators challenged the official line, insisting the probe\u2019s 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<\/a> that federal investigators were not allowed to enter Foster\u2019s office after his death, but \u201cWhite House aides enter[ed] Foster\u2019s office shortly after his death, giving rise to speculation that files were removed from his office.\u201dVince Foster was deputy White House counsel and Hillary\u2019s 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<\/a>, his suicide was the subject of much speculation and three official investigations.<\/p>\n In his 2005 book \u201cThe Truth about Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, And How Far She\u2019ll Go to Become President,\u201d<\/a> Edward Klein wrote of Hillary\u2019s involvement in the effort to remove Foster\u2019s files:<\/p>\n The night of [Foster\u2019s] death, Hillary launched one of the most shameful \u2013 and illegal \u2013 cover-ups of her entire career.<\/p>\n She sent two of her most trusted White House loyalists \u2013 Maggie Williams, the First Lady\u2019s chief of staff, and Patsy Thomasson, who was in charge of White House administration \u2013 into Foster\u2019s office to retrieve embarrassing and incriminating documents related to Whitewater and Hillary\u2019s other personal affairs. While White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum barred investigators from entering Foster\u2019s office, Maggie Williams, Patsy Thomasson, and Craig Livingston, Hillary\u2019s director of White House security, removed armloads of files and loose-leaf binders.<\/p>\n \u201cIn addition, a White House staffer allegedly tampered with the titles of several memos and removed the First Lady\u2019s initials in an effort to erase her role in improper behavior.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 7) Emailgate: \u2018She should go to prison for this\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n In March 2015, WND reported<\/a> Hillary kept all her official correspondence as\u00a0secretary of state, as well as her personal emails, on a private email server located at her home \u2013 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.<\/p>\n The Hill reported<\/a> Hillary did not encrypt her private email service with a digital certificate for the first three months of her tenure as secretary of state.\u201d That was while she was traveling to China, Egypt, Israel, Japan and South Korea.<\/p>\n Several present and former members of the U.S. intelligence community said Hillary\u2019s private email server was a major security risk, and America, going forward, ought to assume enemies of the state all had access to it.<\/p>\n \u201cThe name Clinton right on the email handle meant this was not a difficult find,\u201d said John Schindler, a former National Security Agency counterintelligence officer, Investors Business Daily<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n In April, J. Michael Waller \u2013 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 \u2013 told WND the Russians hack into the U.S. government, and so does any foreign intelligence worth its salt, most likely through Hillary\u2019s private server. Waller said Hillary deserves prison time<\/a> for insisting on an email system that clearly left the nation vulnerable to attack.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the national-security equivalent of drunken driving,\u201d he said. \u201cShe should go to prison for this. When you drink and drive, you know in advance that you\u2019re putting other people in danger. Yet, you think because you\u2019re so smart or so clever or just don\u2019t care, that nothing\u2019s going to happen and then something does, so it\u2019s your fault. This is precisely what she did on the national security sphere.\u201d<\/p>\n 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 \u2013 and her response? Silence.<\/p>\n 8) Chinagate: Sale of high-tech secrets<\/strong><\/p>\n Chinagate, documented by Judicial Watch<\/a>, 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\u2019s 1996 re-election campaign, in return for permission to sell high-tech secrets to China. B<\/p>\n ernard Schwartz and his Loral Space & Communication Ltd. later allegedly \u201chelped China to identify the cause of [a rocket failure], thereby advancing China\u2019s missile program and threatening U.S. national security,\u201d according to records.<\/p>\n In a 2013 column titled \u201cProof Hillary isn\u2019t fit to be president,\u201d<\/a> Klayman wrote:<\/p>\n Not to be outdone by her prior scandals, Hillary \u2026 masterminded a scheme whereby the Clinton-Gore presidential campaign of 1996 took bribes from communist Chinese banks and their government to bankroll the president\u2019s and the Democratic Party\u2019s 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\u2019s 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 \u2018friends,\u2019 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 \u2013 Chinagate \u2013 in American history.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 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\u2019s 25-year-old cousin, who was reportedly promised the position of office director.<\/p>\n Hillary allegedly fired seven employees and gave the positions to her Arkansas friends. According to the Washington Post<\/a>, there was an effort to award a White House airline contract to a Clinton friend.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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\u2019 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 11) \u2018Landing under sniper fire\u2019 in Bosnia<\/strong><\/p>\n In her March 17, 2008, foreign-policy speech on Iraq, then-Sen. Hillary Clinton recalled a trip she made to Tuzla, Bosnia, in 1996.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember landing under sniper fire,\u201d Hillary said of her visit while she was first lady. \u201cThere 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.\u201d<\/p>\n But news footage of her visit revealed her \u201csniper fire\u201d claim wasn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n After the 2008 speech, Hillary was asked about her statements, and she stood by them: \u201cThere was no greeting ceremony, and we basically were told to run to our cars. Now that is what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n But, a week later, Hillary told the Philadelphia Daily News that she \u201cmisspoke.\u201d Hillary claimed she had been told there was a threat of sniper fire in the area.<\/p>\n The following day, she declared: \u201cSo I made a mistake. That happens. It shows I\u2019m human, which for some people is a revelation.\u201d<\/p>\n 12) Hillary\u2019s \u2018missing\u2019 law firm billing records<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1994, federal investigators subpoenaed Hillary\u2019s billing records from her days as a partner in the Rose Law firm during the Watergate scandal. The White House said it didn\u2019t have the 115 pages of files.<\/p>\n While Hillary claimed she had a minor role in the affair, the Washington Examiner<\/a> reported that \u201cwhen the records mysteriously turned up in the White House in 1996<\/a>, they showed she met repeatedly with key figures in the scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n 13) Pardongate: Hillary Senate contributions Before Bill Clinton left the White House in 2001, he granted numerous controversial pardons \u2013 including to convicted tax evader Marc Rich<\/a>, whose wife made significant contributions to Hillary\u2019s 2000 Senate campaign and the Clinton presidential library.<\/p>\n The Associated Press reported that Rich had been \u201cindicted 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 \u2013 crimes that could have earned him more than 300 years in prison.\u201d Rich fled to Switzerland in 1983 after his indictment and remained on the FBI\u2019s Most Wanted List until President Clinton pardoned him.<\/p>\n Also, Hillary\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n Accuracy in Media reported<\/a>, \u201cHugh Rodham, Hillary\u2019s 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 \u2018very important\u2019 to Hillary.\u201d<\/p>\n In March 1994, it was revealed Hillary \u2013 with no previous experience \u2013 had made massive profits from cattle futures trading between 1978 and 1979, when Bill Clinton\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n The New York Times reported:<\/a> \u201cDuring Mr. Clinton\u2019s 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. \u2026 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.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe Clinton body count,\u201d<\/a> 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, \u201cCover Up: The Art and Science of Political Deception.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI started looking into all the various deaths of people that were involved in various Clinton scandals,\u201d Bresnahan said. \u201cI started to investigate the entire picture instead of just one focused event.<\/p>\n \u201cNobody out there was putting it all together,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you look at one scandal, you\u2019ll 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.\u201d<\/p>\n 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 \u2013 for those closest, it appeared, died younger and more inexplicably than those on the outside looking in.<\/p>\n In his research, Bresnahan came up with more than one list.<\/p>\n \u201cNot only did I find a list of dead people, but I also found that there are over 100 people who have refused to testify,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cThere 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.\u201d<\/p>\n 16) Hillary\u2019s radical pal, Saul Alinsky<\/strong><\/p>\n As WND has reported<\/a>, the exact nature and extent of Hillary\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n WND recently found that long after Alinsky\u2019s death in June 1972, a group Clinton co-chaired maintained a working relationship with Alinsky\u2019s main community organizing outfit, the Industrial Areas Foundation, or IAF.<\/p>\n 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 \u201cis the key issue Hillary Clinton used to propel herself independently to the forefront of Arkansas politics during Bill\u2019s governorship.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe revelation of how closely linked her efforts were back in the 80s \u2013 and have been since \u2013 to an Alinsky radical front group is deeply disturbing and expands our understanding of Hillary\u2019s fundamental radicalism and commitment to the new left of Saul Alinsky,\u201d Morris said.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n The Hillary-Alinsky relationship received more media attention last September, when the Washington Free Beacon uncovered direct correspondence between Clinton and Alinsky<\/a> from the archives of Alinsky\u2019s 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 \u201cpersonal,\u201d Hillary wrote: \u201cDear Saul, When is that new book [Rules for Radicals] coming out \u2013 or has it come and I somehow missed the fulfillment of Revelation?<\/p>\n \u201cI have just had my one-thousandth conversation about Reveille [for Radicals] and need some new material to throw at people,\u201d she wrote, referring to a 1948 Alinsky treatise on community organizing.<\/p>\n The Free Beacon\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n \u201cI am living in Berkeley and working in Oakland for the summer and would love to see you,\u201d she wrote. \u201cLet me know if there is any chance of our getting together.\u201d<\/p>\n 17) Hillary laughs about defending child rapist<\/strong>As WND reported<\/a>, Hillary explained her defense of a child-rape suspect as just part of the job. But she hasn\u2019t explained her laughing about his passing of a lie-detector test, which \u201cdestroyed\u201d her faith in such evaluations.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce I was appointed I fulfilled that obligation,\u201d she said in an interview with Mumsnet,<\/a> a U.K. community of parents providing and sharing information on a variety of subjects and issues.<\/p>\n In the video she is asked, \u201cAs a lawyer, you defended the rapist of a 12-year-old girl, calling the victim \u2019emotionally unstable\u2019 and saying that girls have a tendency to \u2018exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences especially when they come from disorganized families.’\u201d<\/p>\n Comments?<\/p>\n Clinton said: \u201cWhen 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.<\/p>\n \u201cHe later pled guilty to a lesser included offense. When you\u2019re a lawyer you often don\u2019t 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\u2019t approve of, but at least in our system, you have an obligation and once I was appointed, I fulfilled that obligation.\u201d<\/p>\n However, she did not address the reports of unearthed recordings<\/a> in which she almost boasts of knowing of her client\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a fascinating case, it was a very interesting case,\u201d Clinton said on the tape. \u201cThis guy was accused of raping a 12-year-old. Course he claimed that he didn\u2019t, and all this stuff. \u2026 I had him take a polygraph, which he passed \u2013 which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs.\u201d She laughed at the statement.<\/p>\n The Washington Free Beacon report on the recordings also confirmed she was laughing several other times while discussing the case, including \u201cwhen discussing the crime lab\u2019s accidental destruction of DNA evidence that tied Taylor to the crime.\u201d<\/p>\n Published profiles of the case reveal that Clinton\u2019s strategy at the time was to attack the 12-year-old. She submitted an affidavit that said she was told the girl was \u201cemotionally unstable\u201d and was viewed as having a \u201ctendency to seek out older men and engage in fantasizing.\u201d She claimed the child \u201cin the past made false accusations\u201d and she exhibited \u201can unusual stubbornness and temper when she does not get her way.\u201d<\/p>\n The woman who says she was raped by the defendant blasted Hillary in 2014, accusing her of intentionally lying about her in court documents. \u201cHillary Clinton took me through hell,\u201d she told the Daily Beast<\/a>.<\/p>\n 18) Hill ca$hes in: Iranian fundraising<\/strong>As WND recently reported<\/a>, 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<\/a> and another contribution of between $25,000 and $50,000 in 2008<\/a> from the New York-based Alavi Foundation, which U.S. government prosecutors have identified as an arm of the Iranian government.<\/p>\n For her 2008 presidential campaign, Clinton hired Hassan Nemazee as her national campaign finance director<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n \u201cAlavi\u2019s contribution [in 2008] to Clinton came just two days after the Treasury Department also designated Alavi\u2019s partner, the New York-based Assa Corp., as a terrorist entity, and the New York Southern District\u2019s attorney seized and forfeited its assets,\u201d Ehrenfeld wrote.<\/p>\n 19) Clinton Foundation: Scandals keep coming As WND reported<\/a>, 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n 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 \u201cinurement\u201d scheme \u2013 enriching oneself through a nonprofit organization \u2013 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.<\/p>\n \u201cOngoing 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,\u201d Ortel charges in his second report on alleged Clinton Foundation mismanagement.<\/p>\n As WND also recently reported<\/a>, based on Ortel\u2019s findings, a prominent lawyer and a top government watchdog in the nation\u2019s capital are calling for the Clinton Foundation to be shut down.<\/p>\n In April, the New York Times reported<\/a>, \u201cCash flowed to Clinton Foundation as Russians pressed for control of uranium company.\u201d<\/p>\n Hillary has said, \u201cI am very proud of the work the Foundation does,\u201d but just 9 percent of the Foundation\u2019s money went to charity in 2013. Fox News\u2019 John Stossel noted<\/a>, \u201cCharity Navigator, the biggest charity rating service, won\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n WND reported Sunday<\/a> that before Hillary completed her first year as President Obama\u2019s secretary of state, Ortel<\/a> calculates $17 million went missing from Clinton Foundation financial reports.<\/p>\n The New York Post recently reported<\/a> Hillary\u2019s former chief of staff and counselor, Cheryl Mills, \u201cknows where the bodies are buried\u201d in many Clinton scandals, has been at Hillary\u2019s side since the 1990s and \u201chas a long track record of hiding Clinton documents.\u201d According to the Post, Hillary gave her the job of \u201cidentifying and preserving all emails that could potentially be federal records.\u201d The Post added, \u201cAnd, presumably, deleting.\u201d Mills, who has officially been accused of perjury and obstruction of justice, is a key member of the Clinton Foundation board.<\/p>\n 20) Benghazi: 4 American lives lost<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n In the months leading up to the attack, Hillary\u2019s State Department cut security in Libya.\u00a0 Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., accused Hillary of \u201cdereliction of duty\u201d that led to the deaths of the four Americans.<\/p>\n \u201cThe State Department not only failed to honor repeated requests for additional security, but instead actually reduced security in Libya,\u201d Johnson wrote in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<\/a>. \u201cAlthough 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.\u201d<\/p>\n As WND reported<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n 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\u2019s waiver allowed the CIA annex to be housed at the separate location.<\/p>\n Hillary Clinton testifying on the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attack<\/p><\/div>\n As WND also reported<\/a>, State Department emails show Clinton knew while the attack was under way that it was being carried out by terrorists.<\/p>\n Judicial Watch has obtained previously classified documents<\/a> 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 \u201cto kill as many Americans as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n Nonetheless, Hillary falsely blamed it on \u201crage and violence over an awful Internet video\u201d 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.<\/p>\n To this day, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., says the State Department has failed to comply<\/a> with requests for information about Benghazi.<\/p>\n 21) Peter Franklin Paul: Another Hillary friend goes to prison Hillary Clinton greets Peter Paul at Hollywood gala in August 2000 (Courtesy Peter F. Paul)<\/p><\/div>\n As WND reported<\/a>, Hillary was named in a lawsuit brought by Peter Franklin Paul<\/a> 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n 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,<\/a> 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\u2019t profit from the attempt to save his company, but he accepted a plea bargain and served three years in prison. WND reported in 2012<\/a> that Paul charged Attorney General Eric Holder and his Justice Department obstructed justice by reneging on a sentencing agreement.<\/p>\n \u201cHillary is carrying out her promise to finally destroy my family to punish me for exposing the corruption that elected her to the Senate,\u201d Paul told WND at the time.<\/p>\n The Clintons were effusive in their praise of Paul<\/a> until just days after an August 2000 Hollywood gala, when the Washington Post reported Paul\u2019s 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<\/a>. Paul has extensive video corroborating his contention he and Hillary spent hours together and sat next to each other at the fundraising events.<\/p>\n 22) Watergate: Fired for being a \u2018liar\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Hillary actually played a role in the Watergate saga, and her actions as a young attorney may have set the tone for her career.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
