It’s 2016, and it’s been a long eight years for Hillary Clinton.
In 2008 she launched her first campaign for the White House, believing – as many Democratic Party operatives did at the time – that she would merely receive her party’s coronation as nominee.
But that didn’t happen. Not only did Hillary fail to excite her party’s base, but a number of ghosts from her past showed up as well, guaranteeing the nomination of a political neophyte and social change artist, Sen. Barack Obama.
Fast forward those eight long years. Obama can’t run again, so the Hillary coronation is automatic this time around – right? Well, she is certainly hoping so; after all, the distance between her scandalous past has widened by another eight years, and many of her would-be supporters were likely too young to remember the antics.
But a new video compilation of the “Hillary scandals” is going viral online – just in time to derail what would likely be her final bid for the Oval Office.
The video begins with this statement: “Hillary Clinton is counting on your short memory, or lack of information, in her 2016 Presidential run.”
The various scandals detailed in the video (linked below) include:
Shortly after her husband, Bill Clinton, became president, Hillary engineered the dismissal of career White House Travel Office staff, who were replaced with political cronies from their home state of Arkansas, in what would become the first official phase of exerting control over the first couple’s surroundings.
This longtime friend and law firm partner of Hillary, who began serving as deputy White House counsel for President Clinton was found dead in Fort Marcy Park on July 20, 1993. Officially his death was ruled a suicide but for years details emerged that there was much shady activity done by the White House in the immediate aftermath of the discovery of his death, such as a mad dash to remove documents and files from his office before federal investigators could get to them.
Before there was Obamacare, there was Hillary’s plan for the federal government to take over one-seventh of the U.S. economy, a plan that was ultimately defeated in Congress. What made this a scandal, however, is the fact that the scandal involved her characteristic penchant for secrecy. Much of what was discussed, and decided that it was done without transparency.
This scandal stemmed from a late 1970s to an early 1980s land development scheme. As further noted by the Washington Examiner:
Bill and Hillary Clinton were associates of Jim and Susan McDougal in the Whitewater Development Corp., an Arkansas real estate investment firm that went under when McDougal’s Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan was closed by federal regulators for illegal accounting. Taxpayers lost $73 million due to Guaranty. The Clintons lost an estimated $67,000 on their investment, but McDougal helped pay off Bill Clinton’s campaign debts, and Hillary Clinton’s law firm received an unknown sum in fees for representing a Guaranty project that also failed.
Hundreds of FBI background checks and files on Republican officials from previous administrations were “improperly” given to White House security chief Craig Livingstone, a favored friend of Hillary’s. Nothing illegal was ever proven, but Livingstone was forced to resign.
Seats on international trade missions were sold to corporate interests in exchange for massive donations to President Clinton’s re-election campaign. And another strange, unexplained death was associated with this scandal: Then-Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, who was reported at the time to have been opposed to this scheme, died when his plane crashed into the side of a mountain during a trade mission to Croatia. An independent counsel investigation into the junkets was left unfinished after Brown’s untimely death.
There are more – Chinagate; IRS abuses; Hillary’s intervention to keep the story surrounding Monica Lewinsky and the myriad of other women, with whom her husband had sexual relations, a secret – and still others which are all detained in this video.
Before you cast a ballot for Hillary, do yourself a favor and watch it.
