1. This May Change Your Vote

Former two-term First Lady, Secretary of State, and Senator is no stranger to the political arena, but is she suitable to be the first female President of the United States.  Media reportings of her personal email server and Benghazi trial is only a handful of the numerous scandals she has been involved in. Through our research, we have uncovered scandals that the public needs to know.
We believe that voters should be well informed of all aspects of a candidate when making a vote and hopefully this information will shed light on the many facets of Hillary’s character.
We will start our journey with the most obvious scandal…

2. Private servers and personal emails

During her time as Secretary of State, Hillary was found sending emails through her private email address and from a private server.  According to her aides, she was able to decide which emails to turn over to the State Department and which not to since she worked from her private residence in New York – creating a major security risk due to the sensitive nature of many of the emails.

3. Paula Jones and a supportive Hillary Clinton

Paula Jones was a government worker in Arkansas who claims to have been sexually harassed by Bill Clinton during his time as governor there. Her case was settled out of court, but Jones told reporters in 2015 that she believed that Hillary knew all about the harassment but did nothing about it.

4. FBI background reports on everyone

What better way to take advantage of a position of power than to run anywhere from 700 to 1,000 FBI background checks on personal rivals? Filegate, as it’s known, allowed the Clintons to obtain illegal FBI files on adversaries from Republican administrations and of the many women who filed charges against President Clinton. It was said that the information was used to discredit people or to blackmail them against taking further action.

5. Clintons turn IRS into ‘gestapo’

The Clintons abused the power of the IRS to take out revenge on their political enemies. Many who spoke out against or caused problems for the administration found themselves the subject of one, sometimes multiple, IRS audits. Among the targeted were several of the women who accused Clinton of sexual assault. Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, who was clear in his opinion of Bill and Hillary, found himself audited three times during the Clinton administration.

 6. Having criminal Norman Hsu collect contributions

A huge contributor and fundraiser of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2008, Norman Hsu had pull. And he used it at the time to collect contributions from a variety of sources – contributions that took Hillary a long way in her campaign. Turns out Hsu was a criminal who had been scamming businesses and people for many years? Did Hillary know this and have a part in it? It was never known.

7. Vince Foster, suicide or foul play?

Vince Foster joined the Clinton administration as deputy White House counsel. He allegedly suffered from depression and committed suicide in 1993, but Hillary’s actions after his death prove that it could have been homicide. According to the Washington Post, federal investigators were not allowed to enter Foster’s office after his death, but Hillary’s loyalists Patsy Thomasson, who was in charge of White House administration, and Maggie Williams, Hillary’s Chief of Staff, were – they were said to leave the location with loads of files that could have incriminated the Clintons for various incidents.

8. Taking pictures with Jorge Cabrera, drug kingpin

This didn’t lead to a particular scandal, but we have to ask… what was the then-First Lady doing taking pictures and hanging out with Jorge Cabrera, democrat and drug kingpin. His support for the Clinton cause was so strong that he wrote a personal check of $20,000 – truly a diehard supporter or buy-off money?

9. “Accidentally” getting shot in Bosnia

One of the oddest scandals that the former First lady has been involved in thus far, Clinton was invited to an official visit to Bosnia to meet with the American troops stationed there. On her arrival back home, she told the media that she herself was attacked by snipers when she landed there. She stuck by her story for years and replayed the incident numerous times to the press. Nothing of the sort happened and instead Hillary landed under absolutely no duress and enjoyed the greeting ceremony thoroughly. What makes this even weirder is that Clinton retracted her statement in 2008, claiming that she misspoke and that she made a mistake. What?

10. Travelgate Scandal

As soon as Hillary and Bill hit the White House, they fired seven employees for “questionable accounting practices”. Turns out, they just needed the job roles to free up so they can hire their family and friends instead. Bill’s 25-year old cousin was reportedly promised the position of Office Director and Hillary’s friends from Arkansas seemed to have the qualifications that were needed of the new recruits. There was also an effort made to reward a White House airline contract to a known family friend. 

11. The one with Monica under the table

Ah, one of the favorite and most famous White House scandals of all time. Monica Lewinsky was an intern who worked closely with the then-President of the United States. A little too closely as stories of sexual relations between the two were leaked. Hillary denied the entire thing, saying that her husband would never do anything so untoward, even going as far as chalking it up to be a “vast right-wing conspiracy”… all until her husband admitted it.

12. Stealing from the White House…tsk, tsk tsk

A hilarious, not to forget childish, scandal if there ever was one, Hillary and Bill Clinton did not leave the White House with their white flags raised. The couple stole over $190,000 worth of items (which they eventually were forced to return) and damaged and vandalized multiple furnishings in the presidential mansion as “pranks” toward the incoming Bush administration. Hillary tried to ship White House furniture to their personal residence in New York and they stole many gifts and furnishings from the White House, including a presidential seal, office signs, medallions, and doorknobs. They smeared glue on desks, broke furniture, sprayed anti-Bush graffiti on the walls, and stole or damaged all of the W’s on computer keyboards.

13. Auctioning and selling off taxpayer-funded goods and services

Reportedly, during their time in office, the Clintons auctioned off (and sold!) taxpayer-funded government services and goods in exchange for personal profit and political campaign contributions including but not limited to seats on overseas trade missions, export licenses for high technology sales to China, overnight stays in the White House’s Lincoln Bedroom, meetings with administration leaders, graves at Arlington Cemetery, and rides on Air Force One.

14. Whitewater

Often used as a general term for various Clinton scandals, whitewater begins with one in particular where the Clintons were to purchase a few hundred acres of land with close friends Jim and Susan McDougal. The deal failed and the real-estate venture was linked to the Madison Guaranty Savings and Loans – owned by the McDougals. James and Susan went to jail for fraud, where James suddenly died while serving his sentence and the Clintons have been the subject of shady business dealings since then.

15. Clinton Foundation

Set up by former President Bill Clinton after he left the White House, the Clinton Foundation was meant to be a nonprofit operation that assisted in issues such as climate change and global warming. Mostly it’s kept the Clinton’s warm. The foundation has been used to forward Bill and Hillary’s own personal agendas and millions have been siphoned from the funds. Investigations prove that the only goal the Clinton Foundation had was to enrich the Clintons and their close associates.

16. The Benghazi attacks

Benghazi. 2012. Four Americans were killed during an attack on a US diplomatic compound. The victims included then-US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, US Foreign Service Information Management officer Sean Smith, and two CIA contractors, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. Hillary, who was then Secretary of State, had been security in Libya for months before the attack. Not to say she was a direct source of the attack, but claims were made that she could have been as she not only failed to honor repeated requests for an increase in security, but actually reduced security instead.

17. Chinagate

Chinagate was a scandal bought to light by Judicial Watch founder, Larry Klayman. According to him, technology companies were asked to make donations exceeding millions of dollars to President Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign, and in return they would receive permission to sell high-tech secrets to China. Thought Klayman took action this was around the time of the Lewinsky scandal so the matter was quieted in comparison.

18. In cahoots with Tyson Foods

Imagine making a 9,987% profit on an investment in nine months. That’s what Hillary Clinton did with a $1,000 investment from 1978 to 1979, where she quickly made a profit of $99,537. Clinton had a high connection with Tyson Foods Inc. and the company itself was known to be a large Clinton donor. In return, Tyson Foods received $9 million in government loans a short while later. Bad timing or good investment?

19. Money for talking

Hillary Clinton made $11 million dollars of personal income for 51 speeches she made in 1 year. Let’s just let that sink in for a minute – if that’s not scandal, we don’t know what is.

20. Pardongate

Bill Clinton, at the influence of his wife Hillary, granted numerous controversial pardons during his reign in the White House – including to Marc Rich, a convicted tax evader who made significant contributions to the Clinton Presidential Library and Hillary’s 2000 Senate campaign. Rich’s fraudulent activity added to over 300 years in prison and he remained on the FBI’s Most Wanted List until President Clinton pardoned him. It was also said that Hillary’s brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham, received large sums of money from people who were pardoned, but supposedly Bill and Hillary knew nothing of the scheme… if there was one.

21. And all of Clinton’s other women

It might have been Bill who was accused of sexually assaulting and abusing many women including Gennifer Flowers, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Willey, but it is Bill and Hillary both who are accused of hiring PIs to dig up dirt on the women, stalk them, and scare them out of their minds. Kathleen Willey published a book in 2007 titles “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton”, and in it, claimed that the Clintons used mob-style intimidation to keep people quiet.

And after all this hidden in her history, one must really wonder, is Hillary Rodham Clinton truly the best option for President of the United States?

God bless,
