Over there on conservative, or at least the
Republican, side of American politics, scandals, whether they happen to be real
or merely concocted by those in the state-controlled media, are usually seen as
being somewhat more difficult to extricate oneself from. While over on the Democrat side, scandals,
even those that are very easily provable, have exactly the opposite effect as,
for whatever the reason, they are more typically viewed as being not much more
than resume enhancers. Which brings me
to Hitlery Clinton. And it’s no secret
that Hiterly is, by far, the strongest candidate that the Democrats have in the
build up to the 2016 presidential elections.
While there are many who will question whether
Hitlery has too much political “baggage” to actually win the presidency, that
opinion is one held primary by those on the right, as her laundry list of
scandals seems to be of little importance to Democrats. Most assuredly Hitlery has been no stranger to
scandals in her long and storied political ‘career’, but dare we assume that any
of these scandals are of sufficient severity to actually cost her the election
in 2016 or, for that matter, even the nomination. Democrats have been known to tolerate a
scandal or two, especially when it comes to one of their own. After all, Teddy Kennedy got away with
murder.
As we all know, Hitlery is what you might call a
repeat offender when it comes to scandals, so let’s take a few minutes to
glance back in time at just a few of the main ones that might, just might, yet end
up costing the old girl the presidency:
First and foremost, simply because it’s the more
recent, is her ‘private email’ scandal.
Hitlery’s private emails while serving as Barry’s Secretary of State are
at the forefront of her most recent political scandal. Let’s lay some
background first: after Barry appointed Hitlery to be his first Secretary of
State, she elected to use a private email address for her official State
Department business as opposed to the traditional government-assigned email.
Her decision to use a private email address while at the White House only came
to light in 2015, but it’s already quickly sent shockwaves throughout
Washington D.C. and the nation.
Many, again mostly on the right, argue that this is
a significant scandal for Hitlery to overcome, because if true, it would seem
that she had openly defied the Federal Records Act while serving as Secretary
of State, which mandates that all State Department officials use
government-assigned email addresses so as to maintain oversight, ease
investigations, and prevent governmental abuses and corruption. The Federal
Records Act was optimized in 2014 in order to ensure that the law covered all
electronic communications, so it appears as if there is no way for Hitlery to
get around the fact that she openly disregarded the law during.
Now why ‘should’ this be seen as being a big deal? Well, first off, using a personal email
address, as opposed to a government-assigned email address, might indicate to
those with suspicious minds that Hitlery did so because she wanted to keep her
endeavors at the State Department off-the-books, so to speak. Why? Well, perhaps because she was involved in
activities that she thought might jeopardize her impending presidential
campaign, such as her role in the Benghazi crisis or her knowledge of the NSA’s
questionable wire-intercept practices. While we can’t yet be sure what she was
hiding, it must be something pretty significant or why would she have felt the need
to disregard federal law in order to cover her tracks.
Next on the list of her more serious scandals is the
Haiti Mining Scandal. Now this little
gem just recently came to light, and could actually be a damaging one for
Hitlery. Here’s a brief summery of the
case: in 2012, the Haitian government awarded a gold-mining permit for its
Morne Bassa mine to a North Carolina company called VCS Mining. What’s notable
about this permit is the fact that the government has not issued a similar
permit in over 50 years, and what’s also strange is that VCS Mining will only
pay 2.5% royalties to the Haitian government for this permit, which mining
experts say is drastically lower than the average mining royalty rate. So what
gives, you might ask?
Well surprise, surprise. That which I’m sure is just a coincidence is
the fact tha Hitlery’s brother, Anthony Rodham, was a member of VCS Mining’s
board of directors at the time that the company was awarded the Morne Bassa
permit. And the permit came in the wake
of Bill Clinton raising millions of dollars for the nation of Haiti’s
rebuilding efforts after the country was devastated by an earthquake in 2010. And guess who was another member of VCS
Mining’s board? Jean-Max Bellerive, who
was the former Prime Minister for Haiti and ‘Slick Willie’s Co-chair at the
Interim Haiti Recovery Commission.
Furthermore, to date USAID has contributed over 3 billion dollars to
Haiti since 2010. So what’s this all mean?
It would at least appear that through their vigorous
financial relief and fundraising efforts, Hitlery and ‘Slick Willie’ “bought”
the Morne Bassa gold-mining permit from the Haitian government for Anthony
Rodham’s company, VCS Mining. If true,
this is an incendiary event that should be fully investigated and prosecuted. American politicians should be above using
their positions to do lucrative favors for their family, so this ‘could’ prove
to be a devastating scandal for both Clintons, but particularly for Hitlery as
she gears up for a presidential run. But it remains unclear what will come of
the Haiti scandal, but what is clear is that this incident does have the
potential to severely damage Hillary’s reputation.
And then of course we have that oldie but goodie, Hitlery’s
Benghazi scandal. Hitlery took a lot of
her flak for her mismanagement of the Benghazi incident, so let’s start with
some background information. On September 11, 2012, Islamic attackers raided and
destroyed much of the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya. This act of
terrorism cost the lives of 4 Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador to Libya
J. Christopher Stevens, who was the first American ambassador to die at the
hands of combatants since 1979, when Jimmy Carter, that other foreign policy
genius, was in the White House. So what
was Hillary’s role in these events?
In the weeks leading up to the attack, American
officials at the Benghazi consulate had repeatedly asked Hitlery’s State
Department to beef up security at the location, though the State Department
repeatedly denied these requests. The CIA and Ambassador Stevens had warned the
State Department that an attack might be imminent, but still Hitlery’s State
Department decided to do nothing about it. Thus it was Hitlery’s outright negligence
that ended up costing the lives of four Americans, and the State Department has
since failed to report the number of times that it had been warned about an
attack. So what does this mean for Hitlery?
Benghazi remains a potent stain upon Hitlery’s supposed
legacy. She attempted to blur the reality of the attack by having her aide,
Victoria Nuland, remove any mention of terrorism or Ambassador Steven’s
warnings from all official government reports on the incident. Why, you ask? Because she knew that her approval ratings
would most likely take a pretty significant hit if it were ever come to light
that she had an opportunity to prevent the attacks but openly chose not to. Her political mismanagement or ignorant
negligence cost the lives of four innocent Americans, and the American public,
at those outside the Democrat Party, might not forget about this.
Then there’ the Sandy ‘Burglar’ Berger Scandal: When Hitlery was still running for the
Democrat presidential nomination in 2007, she made the puzzling move of hiring
Sandy Berger as a personal adviser. Who is Sandy Berger, you ask? Well, he’s a
previously convicted criminal who was charged and found guilty of smuggling
sensitive files out of the National Archives and thereafter destroying them. The files were related to the 9/11
Commission’s report, and specifically the files Berger destroyed pertained to ‘Slick
Willie’s’ failure to contain terrorists during his presidency. This was an
extremely questionable and unflattering political move on Hitlery’s part, and
the American people will not forget her decision to surround herself with a
criminal.
Next is the 2000 Senate Campaign Donation
Scandal. This one is pretty
straightforward and is indicative of Hitlery’s unflinching tendency to withhold
the truth. It involves a guy by the name
of Peter Paul. It was back in 2000 that
Peter Paul made an extremely large donation to Hitlery’s Senate Campaign. When
the Federal Election Commission examined the donation, they discovered that
Hitlery significantly under-reported the size of Paul’s donation, meaning that
thousands of dollars of illegal cash likely ended up in her campaign funds. Even
though such an act can bring several years in prison, nothing ever happened to
Hitlery. This scandal is just another incident that reveals her willingness to
consistently hide the truth.
Clinton Foundation Scandal: This is another of Hitlery’s scandals that is
just downright low. While serving as the Secretary of State, Hitery interceded
6 times in federal affairs in favor of companies that had directly contributed
to Slick Willie Clinton’s ‘not-for-profit’ foundation. At best, this is woeful negligent on Hitlery’s
part and at worst, it is a blatant example of Hitlery’s willingness to “scratch
the backs” of those who help her and her creepy letch of a husband. This kind
of nefarious unethical action should have no place in Washington D.C., and the
American people should certainly take note of this scandal during the
presidential elections in 2016. But will
they?
Conclusion:
While it’s clear that Hitlery is currently the Democrat’s best shot at
the presidency in 2016, it says a lot about the Democrats when their potential
candidate has been involved in so many scandals. But having said that, are any of them
considered as being serious enough to even potentially cost her the Democrat
nomination for the presidency in 2016. New
York Times columnist William Safire once referred to Hitlery as bring a
congenital liar. And in light of these
scandals, it’s impossible to dispute that Hillary has a consistent tendency to
lie, aide political allies, and mismanage crises. Such tendencies will either
cost Hitlery the presidency in 2016 or, as I said earlier, be viewed as nothing
more than resume enhancers.
