Bill Clinton is known to have taken 26 trips around the world in a jet belonging to Jeffrey Epstein, which had a reputation for being outfitted for orgies which included underage girls being prostituted. Epstein is alleged to have molested underage girls and procured underage girls for his powerful friends to enjoy. He was given a plea deal in 2008, without input from his victims, which got him 13 months in prison and home detention, with key evidence being left sealed. It is suspected that he may have been aided in receiving this light sentencing by some of his powerful friends seeking to keep their own crimes out from under the public spotlight.<ref>Malia Zimmerman, [http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/18/lawsuit-seeks-to-expose-unravel-plea-deal-for-billionaire-pimp-to-powerful-epstein.html "Lawsuit seeks to expose, unravel plea deal for billionaire sex offender"], Fox News, 18 Jul 2016</ref><ref>Malia Zimmerman, [http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/12/obama-team-nixed-fundraiser-by-attorney-for-sex-offender-pal-bill-clinton-emails-show.html "Obama team nixed fundraiser by attorney for sex offender pal of Bill Clinton, emails show"], Fox News, 12 Aug 2016</ref>

However, although magazine editor, Phil Bunton, initially claimed "There was no match, nothing even close," he has more recently acknowledged "I don’t remember ever seeing any laboratory test that was done on Clinton’s DNA." Instead, Star relied on data published by Kenneth Star based on analysis of the infamous semen stained dress. It is unclear what kind of data was published, and what the quality of the data would have been. Apparently a more comprehensive test was performed by the FBI, but the results have not been published.<ref>Sharon Churcher, [http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/danney-lee-williams-jr-claims-bill-clinton-real-father-asks-monica-lewinsky-help/ "Return Of The Semen Stained Dress!

His brother, Peter Comey, as it turns out, works for a company which is one of the top contributors to the Clinton Foundation and was responsible for performing a November 2015 audit which was somehow postured as "independent". All in all, there is a nice pile of evidence that Director Comey is tied up in the shady back-room pay-to-play deals that are the bread and butter of Washington DC, and more particularly, that he knowingly took advantage of Hillary's pay-to-play schemes.<ref>Patrick Howley, [http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/09/10/exposed-fbi-director-james-comeys-clinton-foundation-connection/ "Exposed: FBI Director James Comey’s Clinton Foundation Connection"], Breitbart, 10 Sep 2016</ref>


The seriousness of Hillary's negligent handling of classified material is put in sharp relief when one considers the case of Shahram Amiri, and Iranian scientist who had secretly defected to the US. A cover story for his defection had been contrived to the affect that he had been kidnapped by the US. However Amiri couldn't handle his separation from his home and longed to return, eventually taking matters into his own hands, seeking help at the Pakistani embassy. In response, Hillary released a statement denying that he had been kidnapped and that he was in the United States as a free person. These assertions were further corroborated by emails discussing his situation which she had kept on her unsecured private email server. Shahram Amiri was hanged by the Iranian government in August 2016.<ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/08/executed-iranian-scientist-discussed-in-clinton-server-emails-fueling-gop-accusations.html "Executed Iranian scientist discussed in Clinton server emails, fueling GOP accusations"], Fox News, 8 Aug 2016</ref>

The facts are of no consequence to some, however.

One such lawmaker showed up at a hearing to put questions to Comey and said to him "[Republicans] want you to prosecute, or ask the DOJ to prosecute, Secretary Clinton regardless of the facts.

In 1992, Jerry Brown had criticized Bill Clinton owing to reports that he had breached ethics to promote his wife's career. In responding to this criticism, Hillary Clinton uttered "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life." This saying became infamous as it was widely regarded at the time as being demeaning to housewives.

Latest revision as of 21:07, 22 November 2016

Hillary Clinton is a former senator from New York and wife of former President Bill Clinton who is running for President in the November 2016 Election.

Hillary has proven herself to be a liar and an incompetent administrator with her mishandling of classified documents and her handling of Benghazi.

She has many compromising connections to sponsors of terrorism and is suspected of using her non-profit organization, The Clinton Foundation, as a an end-run around campaign finance laws, effectively allowing her to take bribes in exchange for favors while she was Secretary of State.

She is also alleged to have harassed into silence, various women who accused her husband of rape and sexual assault, and otherwise helped to cover up her husband's abuse of women.

Hillary picked Timothy Kaine as her running-mate.[1]

Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton has a reputation as a shameless philanderer. However, not only that but there are also allegations of sexual assault, rape, and child rape.

While President, Bill Clinton had an affair with a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky, which he lied about in court (ie. perjury), leading to his impeachment. Hillary's running-mate, Timothy Kaine, once asserted that Bill Clinton should have resigned over this affair.[2] While an employer taking advantage of an employee like this should raise eyebrows all around, Bill Clinton has largely gotten a pass from Democratic voters. Linda Tripp has often been villified for secretly recorded a conversation with Monica Lewinsky, turning them over to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. She has been accused of seeking to profit off of the recording by putting herself in a position to sell a book. However, nobody can point to any actual profit derived from her role. Linda Tripp for her part, has asserted that after Monica Lewinsky's behavior became erratic and potentially dangerous to the Clintons, that she also learned that the Monica had disclosed to the Clintons that she had confided in Linda about the affair. Linda asserts that she became fearful for both her life and Monica's, that the Clintons would try to dispose of them as potential problems. Linda has expressed her belief that she and Monica are only alive today because she acted to make the affair public.[3][4]

Colin Powel criticized Bill Clinton as an unsavory connection of a Hillary campaign saying that he's "still d—ing bimbos".[5]

Gary Byrne, a former Secret Service officer, has indicated that cleaning up the aftermath of sexual encounters was a regular part of the job in the Clinton Whitehouse, and he believes that claims of sexual assault having taken place in the Whitehouse are highly credible.[6]

Jeffrey Epstein

Bill Clinton is known to have taken 26 trips around the world in a jet belonging to Jeffrey Epstein, which had a reputation for being outfitted for orgies which included underage girls being prostituted. Epstein is alleged to have molested underage girls and procured underage girls for his powerful friends to enjoy. He was given a plea deal in 2008, without input from his victims, which got him 13 months in prison and home detention, with key evidence being left sealed. It is suspected that he may have been aided in receiving this light sentencing by some of his powerful friends seeking to keep their own crimes out from under the public spotlight.[7][8]

Beyond flying on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous jet, flight records and testimony also puts Bill Clinton on Jeffrey Epstein's even more infamous "orgy island", more commonly known as Little Saint James, a destination Jeffrey Epstein designed specifically to facilitate orgies for his powerful friends.[9] Virginia Roberts, one of the most outspoken of the many women who claim the Jeffrey Epstein used them as sex slaves to service himself and his powerful friends, has asserted that she saw Bill Clinton with two young girls from New York at Jeffrey Epstein's orgy island and asked him about it. In an interview, Virginia stated, "I remember asking Jeffrey, ‘What’s Bill Clinton doing here?’ kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said, ‘Well, he owes me a favor.’ He never told me what favors they were."[10]

Paula Jones

After being escorted to Bill Clinton's room by an Arkansas State Trooper on the 8th of May 1991, Paula Jones alleges that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her and made threatening statements.[11] Paula Jones first came out accusing Blll Clinton of sexual harassment in 1994. She has since been a supporter of Donald Trump.[12]

Gennifer Flowers

3 months after Bill Clinton married Hillary, he began an affair with a woman named Gennifer Flowers, which Hillary was aware of early on. Regarding Hillary's cognizance of the affair, Gennifer flowers stated:

"And one day he came in and the security guard told him that I had called and gave him the message. And what he didn’t know was that she (Hillary) was actually there and was walking up to meet him and heard the guard say my name. And that I had called. And so she had a conversation with him a little bit later that she was getting real tired of hearing that name. And that she wanted it to stop. And he told her it wasn’t gonna stop. And she said, ‘Well, Just at least don’t embarrass me.’ Well of course he went on to embarrass her. Many, many times."

Early on in the affair, Gennifer became pregnant by Bill, and Bill Clinton offered to pay for an abortion, which Gennifer ended up taking him up on. Gennifer described herself as hurt by Bill Clinton's offer and then both physically and emotionally hurt by the procedure. However, she also described him as being very caring for her and as being very sensitive to how it affected her.[13]

After ending the affair when she started another relationship, Gennifer continued to work with Bill Clinton who, from her perspective, irritated her by trying to make her jealous about his relationships, or potential relationships with other women.[14]

Juanita Broadrick

Bill Clinton has been accused of raping Juanita Broaddrick twice on one occasion and then continuing to harass her for a period of months afterward.[15][16][17] Her story is corroborated by the statements of the nurse who treated her after the incident, who stated in part, "She was crying. And the thing I think I remember most is that her mouth was all swollen up. It was cut. … Her pantyhose were all ripped."[18]

Juanita Broadrick further asserts that after the attack, while she was still feeling conflicted about what had happened to her, that she had the following interaction with the Hillary Clinton:

“And they come in early from the kitchen area. And just before they do, a gentleman who had driven them from the airport comes straight over to me. He was supporting Clinton but he didn’t know what had happened to me even though he was a friend. And he said the topic of the conversation all the way from the airport was about you.

“And that startled me. And I knew I had to get out of there. Well, just as he moved here comes Hillary straight for me. And she gets to me and she starts saying, ‘I just want to thank you for everything you are doing for Bill’s campaign. And it’s so nice to meet you.’ And all of these things.

“So I just nodded and I told my friend, ‘Let’s go.’ And I thought somebody from behind had grabbed a hold of my arm. But it was her. She grabbed a hold of my arm and my hand and she pulls me into her. And she says with this very angry look on her face, which had been so pleasant seconds before. And in a low voice, says, ‘Do you understand? Everything that you do.’ And that frightened me.”

Regarding this interaction, Juanita Broadrick further stated "People have asked me that and said ‘Well, do you think she knew what happened?’ At that moment. And I have to go by what I felt then and the look that she gave me. I felt like she knew."[19]

It has been reported that NBC has a tape of an interview of Juanita Broadrick from around 1999 in which she made claims of Hillary attempting to intimidate her into keeping quiet, but that they edited out those claims in the original airing. This claim (that Juanita Broadrick has asserted intimidation by Hillary) has been confirmed by the interviewer in that tape, Lisa Meyers.[20]

In January 2016 she tweeted "I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Ark. Attorney General raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73....it never goes away."[21][22] She announced in August 2016 that she had put her house up for sale and would be moving onto a piece of property where her son lives, because she doesn't feel safe living alone at her current home anymore.[23]

After the September 2016 presidential debate, where Donald Trump brought up the issue of Bill Clinton's sexual misconduct, but cited Chelsea's presence in the audience as a reason for not hitting the topic harder, Chelsea gave an interview with Cosmopolitan in which she stated:

“It’s a distraction from his inability to talk about what’s actually at stake in this election and to offer concrete, comprehensive proposals about the economy, or our public school system, or debt-free college, or keeping our country safe and Americans safe here at home and around the world. …

“And candidly, I don’t remember a time in my life when my parents and my family weren’t being attacked, and so it just sort of seems to be in that tradition, unfortunately. And what I find most troubling by far are Trump’s — and we talked about this when you interviewed me the night before the Iowa caucus — are Trump’s continued, relentless attacks on whole swaths of our country and even our global community: women, Muslims, Americans with disabilities, a Gold Star family. I mean, that, to me, is far more troubling than whatever his most recent screed against my mom or my family [is].”[24]

In response, Juanita Broadrick sent out the following series of tweets:

  1. Here is my response to Chelsea Clinton's statement about her father's sexual misdeeds[25]
  2. Chelsea you said you don't remember a time in your life that your parents weren't being attacked.[26]
  3. There's a very good reason for this---your parents are not good people.[27]
  4. your father was, and probably still is, a sexual predator. Your mother has always lied and covered up for him.[28]
  5. I say again "I was 35 when Bill Clinton Raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73. It never goes away".[29]
  6. The truth is what has brought the attacks on your family and you are smart enough to know that by now.[30]

Leslie Milwee

Leslie Millwee is a former local TV news reporter in Arkansas. Sho first aired allegations of creepy behavior toward her in brief anecdote in her book "You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!", which was published in 2011. In October 2016, she granted an interview with Breitbart in which she provided more details, alleging that beyond creepy uncomfortable behavior, that Bill Clinton had sexually assaulted her on three occassions.[31]

Illegitimate Son

Danney Lee Williams, a black man living in Little Rock Arkansas claims that his mother was a prostitute frequented by Bill Clinton, and that he his Bill Clinton's biological child.[32] He has subsequently requested DNA samples from the Clintons so that he can test his claim, and even gone so far as to issue a plea to Monica Lewinsky for a sample of Bill Clinton's DNA extent on her infamous semen stained dress.[33] The Clinton's for their part claim that Star magazine performed a test that proved that there was no genetic link in 1999. However, although magazine editor, Phil Bunton, initially claimed "There was no match, nothing even close," he has more recently acknowledged "I don’t remember ever seeing any laboratory test that was done on Clinton’s DNA." Instead, Star relied on data published by Kenneth Star based on analysis of the infamous semen stained dress. It is unclear what kind of data was published, and what the quality of the data would have been. Apparently a more comprehensive test was performed by the FBI, but the results have not been published.[34]

Williams had posted videos on YouTube relating to his claims and had been temporarily block by that venue.[35]

The chair of the Utah GOP mentioned the claims on CNN in early October and was mocked and derided by the anchor. This resulted in public calls for him to be removed from his position.[36]

Other Resources

Clinton Foundation

The Clinton Foundation is a nominal charitable organization set up after the Clintons left the Whitehouse. The allegations regarding this charity are, generally, that it does very little charitable work, that the funds are used by the Clintons and some of their associates for many personal expenses and in order to provided favors to curry favor. In addition, it is alleged that, as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton ran a de-facto pay-to-play scheme whereby people paid money to her through her charity in order to gain access to her or to obtain special favors from her in her capacity as Secretary of State.[37][38][39][40][41][42][43]

Numerous questionable characters are connected with the organization, including Bill Clinton's human trafficking pedophile pal, Jeffrey Epstein.[44][45]

The investigation of emails that Hillary Clinton illegally stored on her own private server have revealed questionable ties between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department, whereby employees for the state department either ran errands for the Clinton Foundation, or later became employees of the State Department.[46][47][48] There are also numerous instances where known donors to the Clinton Foundation received what appears to be special treatment and assistance.[49][50][51] Freedom of Information Act requests, which the State Department stonewalled for 3 years, have revealed that Hillary Clinton spent an inordinate amount of time meeting with Clinton Foundation donors, that Hillary Clinton's Top aide communicated regularly with a Clinton Foundation executive.[52][53][54][55] Dennis Cheng was deputy chief of protocol for Clinton's State Dpartment, and moved from there to director of development for the Clinton Foundation, where he is alleged to have acted as a middle man, sharing donor information with the state department, as evidenced by emails that became public.[56]

Defending herself from the implication that such alleged scheme might imply that she would be a corrupt president, Hillary Clinton assures the public that she would alter the Clinton Foundation's donation acceptance policy to refuse to accept donations from foreign entities and corporations.[57] Donald Trump has, helpfully, pointed out, that this would still allow such donors to provide money via some of Hillary Clinton's smaller charities.[58] In addition, it seems plain that other methods of laundering the money through seemingly unaffiliated charities exist. This also begs the question of why such measures weren't taken earlier.[59]

The Clinton Foundation has been referred to the IRS for audit, but it is impossible to tell whether they are giving such a referral any real consideration.[60] Considering the FBI's response to her blatantly illegal handling of classified material, it would seem unlikely. Donald Trump, as might be expected, has called for a special prosecutor to probe the Clinton Foundation.[61]

Hillary has not been getting much help from fellow Democrats for the issues surrounding the Clinton Foundation. Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania stated that Hillary's expressed measures to insulate the State Department from the Clinton foundation were "ineffective", and that the problem created a "bad perception."[62] He further opined, "I definitely think if she wins the presidency they have to disband it."[63]

The evidence of corruption is now good enough that the outline of several influence peddling schemes can now be traced. Radar Online has published an infographic detailing a number of schemes to varying degrees. One particularly interesting scheme involves the selling of uranium mining rights to Russia. Within days of meeting with Bill Clinton, Frank Giustra, owner of UrAsia Energy, Ltd. made a deal giving it part ownership of 3 mines in Kazakhstan, and then, a few months later, donated $31.3 million to the Clinton Foundation. Giustra then renamed his company Uranium One and then started buying up mines all across the U.S. Russia then, attempted to buy Uranium One, which required Hillary Clinton's approval. Despite strong concern expressed by multiple parties that allowing such a sale would eventually lead to Russia gaining a major advantage in the energy markets, endangering U.S. interests, including national security, Hillary expressed that she knew of no reason to be concerned about the sale, and signed off on it anyway. Coincidentally, Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow, from a bank with ties to the Kremlin.[64][65]

Doug Band, an aide to Bill Clinton who was involved with the Clinton Global Initiative, expressed concern in 2011 regarding many apparent conflict of interests problems relating to Bill Clinton's work with the Clinton Global Initiative.[66]

After initially stalling on an Associated Press Freedom of Information Act requests made in 2010 and 2013 and insisting that some of the material wouldn't be released until after the election, the State Department has announced that it will release all planning schedules from Hillary Clinton's time in the State Department, stating "the Department plans to complete its production of former Secretary Clinton’s schedules not later than October 17." The trickle of information and then this reversal come after the Associated Press filed suit in March 2015. Despite posturing that their concern was related to the burden of processing these schedules, it is clear from the heavily edited information they had tried to placate journalists with, that they had plenty of time to pursue politically motivated curation of the data rather than simply providing the information requested in a legal manner.[67] It has also been revealed that the State Department coordinated with the Clinton Campaign regarding their Freedom of Information Act response and that the Department of Justice colluded with her campaign regarding legal challenges to the State Department's delays.[68][69]

Haitian activists accuse the Clinton Foundation of stealing from Haiti continuously since 2003.[70]

In 2011, Qatar donated a million dollars to the Clinton Foundation for Bill Clinton's birthday.[71]

In her final debate against Donald Trump, moderator, Chris Wallace, asked: "Emails show that donors got special access to you. Can you really say you kept your pledge to that Senate committee, and what happened and what went on between you and the Clinton Foundation? Why isn’t it what Mr. Trump calls pay to play?" Hillary responded by asserting that everything that she did as Secretary of State was for the good of the country, and tried to turn the answer towards the charitable work of the Clinton Foundation." Wallace interjected: "Secretary, respectfully, this is an open discussion. A specific question went to pay for play. Do you want to address that?" Unfortunately, Hillary would not answer the question.[72]

The Clinton campaign has sought to minimize the appearance of Hillary Clinton's involvement with the Clinton Foundation. However, it is clear the Hillary has been heavily involved in its operation and fundraising.[73]

Chelsea Clinton

A report in October 2016, based on then-recent leaked emails, suggests that Chelsea Clinton may have been actively investigating her family's foundation in 2011, and attempted some reforms.[74] Another report from October 2016 details how Chelsea Clinton was concerned about how fundraisers would pressure donors into also providing sources of personal income for her parents.[75]

A Podesta email released by WikiLeaks in November accuses Chelsea Clinton of using Clinton Foundation resources for personal expenses such as expenses for her wedding. In fact, Hillary, herself, has said that some of the emails she had deleted from her system, despite an existing warrant requiring their disclosure, pertained to Chelsea's wedding.[76]

FBI Investigation

It has been reported that secret recordings of a suspect, and evidence from unrelated investigations, led investigators to want to pursue an aggressive investigation into the Clinton foundation. However, the report indicates that higher-up officials restrained investigators.[77] Nevertheless, an FBI investigation into the Clinton foundation was evidently undertaken.[78] In November 2016, a report was published indicating that FBI sources were anticipating an indictment of Hillary Clinton in relation to an investigation into the Clinton Foundation.[79]

Gross Negligence in Handling of Classified Material

Yet another example of Hillary's dishonest criminal conduct is her use of a private email server to conduct official business as Secretary of State, contrary to her legal obligations.

The Scandal

The FBI launched an investigation into her private server and turned up copious evidence of her willful disregard for state secrets and transparency. It was widely reported that her conduct had incensed agents so much that there would be a revolt if she avoided charges.[80] It is clear is that the FBI found significant evidence of wrongdoing on the part if Hillary Clinton, including gross negligence, perjury, and evidence tampering.[81][82] It is also clear that in her defense, Hillary Clinton resorted to claims of incredible incompetence.[83]

Obama waded into the controversy early on asserting that he saw no national security implications to Hillary Clinton's use of her private email server, despite the fact that he had never been briefed on the matter at the time he made the statement, and his press secretary even went so far as to assert that she wasn't being investigated, despite having no insight into the investigation.[84]

As pressure mounted, the situation reached a climax when it was reported that Bill Clinton met with the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch in her plane for 30 minutes. While secret service agents ordered reporters to not take pictures, Loretta claims that they talked about their children; that it was merely a social call.[85] The obvious conflict of interests raised by this event was quickly followed by the bizarre spectacle of Loretta Lynch, on the 1st of July 2016, abdicating her decision to pursue charges against Hillary to the FBI, after which, James Comey, director of the FBI, quickly wrapped up the investigation and made his official recommendation that no charges be pursued in a damning statement that laid out that Hillary Clinton had been "Extremely Careless", but not "Grossly Negligent", somehow, and also that they could not establish intent, despite the fact that it is not necessary to establish intent.[86][87][88][89] Further testimony from the FBI confirmed reports that Hillary had emailed and received classified material on her private server, confirming that she had lied when she told the public, and testified before congress, that no classified material had been transmitted through this server. It was further affirmed that it was completely possible that this classified information had been obtained by hostile actors due to her careless and illegal stewardship.[90][91][92][93] Despite this evidence of Hillary Clinton's dishonesty, Hillary continued to assert that the FBI had found her public remarks regarding her email practices to be truthful.[94][95] A WikiLeaks dump of emails from Podesta later October 2016 provides tantalizing hints at intentional destruction of evidence relating to the email probe.[96]

Hillary Clinton's intent to circumvent laws requiring transparency is easily established. Video has surfaced capturing Hillary Clinton, in 2000 asking "as much as I have been investigated and all that, why would I have ever want to do email?"[97] In August 2016, it was reported that Hillary had told the FBI that Colin Powell had urged her to use private email.[98] Colin Powell fired back that Hillary was trying to pin the email scandal on him.[99] However, in September 2016, an email exchange was released which showed Colin Powell advising Hillary "Be very careful. I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data." He also informed her that he had had several meetings on why he couldn't bring his blackberry into secure areas.[100] Hillary Clinton had brought her phone into secure areas frequently, and defended herself by feigning ignorance. In fact, despite the fact that such devices were banned from secure areas, she had a staff member assigned to procure her forbidden and vulnerable devices for her, and even lost some of her devices.[101][102] It has further been reported that she still emailed classified material, even after she left the State Department.[103]

One report describes how Lenovo laptops, known to come from China pre-loaded with malware, were used by a Clinton lawyer who accessed emails on Hillary's server. While this malware is typically used to deploy ads, it is also capable of being used for other purposes and opens up the possibility the China may have gained access to all of the sensitive and classified material on Hillary Clinton's server.[104] A document dump to WikiLeaks in October 2016 showed that Hillary may have revealed classified details regarding how Osama bin Ladin was targeted in speeches delivered to Wall Street bankers, for which she was highly paid.[105] A report in November 2016 claims that officials believed at that time that there was a 99% chance that foreign intelligence agencies had breached Hillary's server,[106]

Many Hillary campaign officials were shocked regarding the scandal, with one ally, Neera Tanden writing "Do we actually know who told Hillary she could use a private email? And has that person been drawn and quartered? Like whole thing is f---ing insane."[107] A document dump by WikiLeaks shows that Podesta, chairman of Hillary's 2016 presidential campaign, had, back in 2014, urged Hillary to be more careful in her communication. When Hillary emailed Podesta asking "any idea whose fighters attacked Islamist positions in Tripoli, Libya?", Podesta responded by saying "Yes and interesting but not for this channel."[108]

Hillary's malfeasance would appear to catch even President Obama as a co-conspirator as there is at least one example of Obama emailing Hillary at her personal email address, sending her information which has been heavily redacted, suggesting that it is classified in nature This, despite President Obama's claims that he only first found out about Hillary's use of her private email for government business, from news sources when the scandal became public knowledge.[109] Latter document dumps by WikiLeaks revealed Clinton insiders discussing how to clean up after Obama's lie, given that he had emails sent to and from her private server.[110][111]

The FBI investigation into Hillary's misconduct revealed that Hillary Clinton had routinely tasked her maid, who lacked necessary security clearances, with printing out emails for her, including those which were classified.[112]

Initial FBI Investigation and Internal Reaction

Beyond the pre-recommendation reports that the investigating agents were furious at Hillary for her negligent conduct, it was initially difficult to determine exactly how the investigating agents felr about their boss's recommendation, as, it turned out, they were all bound by a gag order.[113]

One of the paradoxes of the FBI's recommendation is that the government regularly prosecutes much more minor cases of gross negligence in the handling of classified material, despite clear evidence of lack of criminal intent.[114][115][116] The precedent setting recommendation is being used by attorneys to seek similar treatment for the many individuals they represent who have not been treated so generously.[117][118][119] Still, Director Comey insisted, that he was not applying a double-standard.[120]

The seriousness of Hillary's negligent handling of classified material is put in sharp relief when one considers the case of Shahram Amiri, and Iranian scientist who had secretly defected to the US. A cover story for his defection had been contrived to the affect that he had been kidnapped by the US. However Amiri couldn't handle his separation from his home and longed to return, eventually taking matters into his own hands, seeking help at the Pakistani embassy. In response, Hillary released a statement denying that he had been kidnapped and that he was in the United States as a free person. These assertions were further corroborated by emails discussing his situation which she had kept on her unsecured private email server. Shahram Amiri was hanged by the Iranian government in August 2016.[121]

In August 2016 it was reported that Hillary Clinton had been listed as an example of an insider security threat in an army briefing.[122]

The New York Post reported, in October 2016 that FBI agents both involved in the investigation and otherwise were furious with Director Comey for both putting up extremely unconventional roadblocks to the investigation, and for failing to recommend prosecution. The feeling was generally expressed that Comey had ruined the reputation of the FBI.[123] One agent involved stated, "no trial level attorney agreed, no agent working the case agreed, with the decision not to prosecute -- it was a top-down decision" and a high ranking FBI official stated, "It was unanimous that we all wanted her security clearance yanked.", and further, "It is safe to say the vast majority felt she should be prosecuted."[124] It is reported that a number of agents are looking forward to airing their frustrations before Congress.[125]

Congressional Investigation

In her testimony before Congress on the matter, Loretta Lynch frequently refused to answer questions.[126] The FBI, in responding to records requests by congress has taken the extra time to redact information for reasons of "relevance", rather than "classification", which would normally be the only significant reason for redaction.[127][128][129] In response to this redaction, congress responded by issuing a subpoena for the unredacted investigative summaries from the investigation into Hillary's use of her private email server.[130][131]

Circumstantial evidence suggests that James Comey may have made big money navigating Lockheed Martin through the intricacies of Hillary's Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scheme in order to win the company lucrative contracts through the State Department. Director Comey is similarly implicated in winning business for HSBC Holding as a contractor for the Clinton Foundation. His brother, Peter Comey, as it turns out, works for a company which is one of the top contributors to the Clinton Foundation and was responsible for performing a November 2015 audit which was somehow postured as "independent". All in all, there is a nice pile of evidence that Director Comey is tied up in the shady back-room pay-to-play deals that are the bread and butter of Washington DC, and more particularly, that he knowingly took advantage of Hillary's pay-to-play schemes.[132]

The evidence further suggests that Obama's FBI conducted merely a sham investigation for the explicit purpose of sweeping Hillary's gross negligence under the rug.[133] Investigators granted immunity to key players who then turned around and lied to them. One of these was a tech specialist who was responsible for wiping 33,000 emails from Hillary's server using Bleachbit, (though one report has claimed that only a medium used for transporting the emails was wiped, and that the originals are still in existence[134]) who, after being granted immunity, admitted to destroying that evidence, yet claimed that he was acting independently to cover up for his failure to follow earlier instructions to delete the emails, which failure would have been exposed to his employer that he hadn't followed instructions. Yet, it has become clear, based on the evidence, that he was not acting independently, and that his managers, Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, who also got immunity deals, and lied to the FBI, ordered the destruction of those emails in direct response to the investigative eye that was being turned toward Hillary's use of her personal server. Yet, despite his obvious failure to honor his side of the deal, the FBI has let his immunity deal stand, along with the immunity deals of those who directed his destruction of evidence and also lied to the FBI.[135][136] When asked, in an interview, about the wiping of her server, Hillary made a show of incredible ignorance responding, "what, like with a cloth or something?" BeachBit took advantage of the notoriety they received from the fiasco by marketing a cloth product called "Cloth or Something" described as being useful for wiping one's fingerprints off of one's device after you've taken a hammer to it. (A possible reference to how Hsome of Hillary's devices were dealt with.)[137] The FBI has gone even further and obliged itself, in its offers of immunity, to destroy evidence, particularly, two laptops, that had been in the possession of Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson, after reviewing them for the purposes of their own investigation.[138] It is apparent also that the State Department staff provided false information in response to a Freedom of Information Act request in order to help cover up Hillary's gross negligence.[139] A report published at the end of October airs allegations that Obama's Department of Justice put pressure on the FBI to not take the charges seriously, to find no wrongdoing, and to execute a weak investigation.[140]

Peter Kadzik, who represented Podesta (current chairman of Hillary's campaign) in 1998, was praised by Podesta, who said that he was a "Fantastic lawyer. Kept me out of jail." This Kadzik is reported to be a high ranking messenger of sorts with the Justice Department, and has maintained a close relationship with Podesta.[141] In early November, WikiLeaks described Kadzik as a mole and revealed that Kadzik had fed information regarding the FBI investigation to the Clinton Campaign.[142]

Documents released by the FBI in October show that Patrick Kennedy, Undersecretary of State, offered the FBI help getting agents into Iraq and other locations where they had difficulty establishing a presence, if they would agree to reclassify a Benghazi-related document in the hopes that he could make it disappear. Pressure was likewise put on State Department employees reviewing some of Hillary's emails, to not label any of them classified.[143][144] This revelation has led to calls for Patrick's resignation.[145]

Reporters have discovered that the PAC for Virginia Governor, Terry McAuliffe donated big money to the Dr. Jill McCabe's failed 2015 bid for the Senate. Her husband, Andrew McCabe, happened to have been promoted shortly thereafter to deputy director of the FBI, and had an oversight role in the investigation of Hillary Clinton's alleged gross negligence.[146] Jason Chaffetz, issued a letter to Terry McAuliffe asking him to explain at what point he became aware of his promotion opportunity, and to explain other fact relating to the timing of the promotion, and measure taken to address the potential conflict of interests. He further issued a letter asking him to explain why he has not recused himself from invovement in the investigation.[147]

The facts are of no consequence to some, however. The congressional inquiry has been consistently used by Democrats to accuse Republicans of engaging in a politically motivated witch hunt, asserting that there is no crime or malfeasance to investigate. One such lawmaker showed up at a hearing to put questions to Comey and said to him "[Republicans] want you to prosecute, or ask the DOJ to prosecute, Secretary Clinton regardless of the facts. So they’ve engaged in an almost daily ritual of holding hearings, desperately trying to tear down the investigation."[148] Nevertheless, it is clear, that without continuing scrutiny, it would not be so painfully clear how corrupt the players in this drama, trying to cover for Hillary Clinton, have been.[149]

Investigation Reopened

Near the end of October, the FBI announced that new evidence, consisting of emails in the possession of an unconnected government official, discovered as part of a separate investigation, were prompting them to reopen the investigation of Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified info.[150] They then obtained warrants in connection with the investigation to search emails on a device belonging to Anthony Weiner, which had been sent ber his estranged wife Huma Abedin. The emails had been identified in connection with an FBI investigation into Anthony Weiner's sexting scandal.[151] Hillary has responded by asserting that the FBI's investigation should be transparent (something hard to imagine for any FBI investigation) and has asserted political motivation for reopening the investigation.[152] The newly discovered data may contradict testimony given by Huma Abedin, who repeatedly testified that she had turned over all devices that might contain emails.[153]

Harry Reid, of Nevada, who, among other things, has bragged about having helped defeat Mitt Romney by lying about Mitt Romney's taxes, issued a letter warning Director Comey that he may have violated the Hatch act, which prohibits federal employees from acting for the purpose of interfering with elections, especially when doing so while acting in an official capacity.[154][155] Comey had informed congress of the reopened investigation, in connection with an active inquiry into the matter that they were conducting. Jason Chaffetz, representing Utah, had tweeted out the news that reached the public. Caffetz has refused to endorse Trump, but has announced that Trump will be getting his vote.[156]

In early November, the FBI announced that their review of the further evidence would not change their recommendation not to charge Hillary Clinton with Gross Negligence in the handling of classified material.[157] Donald Trump has argued that this second investigation seems to have also been a sham, casting as incredulous that the FBI could finish a review of 650,000 emails in 8 days, a rate of a very little less than one email per second.[158]

Trump Administration

In November 2016, Kellyanne Conway, former campaign manager for President-elect Donald Trump revealed that Trump did not plan to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton.[159]

Further Material

Filegate

Linda Tripp, a former member of the Whitehouse staff during the first Bush presidency and during the presidency of Bill Clinton, has asserted that the Clinton Whitehouse payed little attention to the protocols for vetting employees and handling classified information. She also asserted that Hillary Clinton, in particular, had request a staff member, Craig Livingstone, to procure background check documentation from the FBI pertaining to political opponents. The blowback from this scandal led to the resignation of Craig Livingstone.[160][161]

Huma Abedin

Huma Abedin is one of Hillary Clinton's highest ranking staffers. She has served as vice chairwoman for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, and Deputy Chief of Staff for Hillary Clinton's State Department. In 1996 she began working as an intern at the White House assigned to Hillary Clinton. The same year, she became assistant editor for the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, which has been described as a "radical Muslim journal".[162][163] The Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is noted to have asserted that Bill Clinton bombed Iraq in order to distract from his affair with Monica Lewinsky, and to have asserted that Jews are "adept at working the American political system".[164][165]

Huma's husband, Anthony Weiner, has created embarrassment due to his apparent compulsion to engage in sexting, the sending of "dick-pics" and other similar behavior, which forced his resignation from the House of Representatives, and hurt his bid to become mayor of New York.[166] In August 2016, it was revealed that Anthony Weiner was still at it and that he had sent a picture of his crotch area clothed in underwear with his sleeping son in the background.[167] On the 29th of August 2016, Huma announced that she was separating from Anthony Weiner.[168]

Huma's father is the late Syed Abedin, a university professor who promoted the state policing of Sharia law in the Middle East and helped to found the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs.[169]

Coordination with DNC against Sanders

In October 2016, a document dump to Wikileaks revealed that DNC Chief Donna Brazile had shared Sanders campaign plans with the Clinton campaign.[170]

Benghazi

On September 11 2012, the embassy in Benghazi was attacked by radicals, resulting in the death of the ambassador stationed there as well as multiple other individuals. Hillary has been criticized for failing to head requests for increased security, for failing to respond to the attacks with military support, and for trying to cast the attacks as a response to a video posted online. There are also accusations of gun-running and intentionally preventing support from being deployed.

the filmmaker that Hillary originally diverted attention to had his life greatly upended by her false and contrived accusations.[171]

The congressional investigation into the response to the Benghazi attack resulted in a report that placed great blame on the Obama administration, and Hillary's State Department in particular, for the weak response, poor preparation, and general failure to defend the embassy in Benghazi.[172]

Patricia Smith, Mother of one of the victims of the attack on the Benghazi embassy said "I was treated like dirt, I was called a liar. [Hillary Clinton] went on TV many times and nodding her head, thinking that she’s so wonderful and she knows everything and I know nothing… I don’t like her decisions, she kills people!"[173]

In October a report came out that a man by the name of Marc Turi had been prosecuted by the Justice Department, with the result that all charges were dropped with prejudice. Marc Turi claimed that the purpose of the prosecution was to use him as a scapegoat for the State Department's own botched gun-running, and this, for the purpose of protecting Hillary Clinton in preparation for her presidential run. The claim was, further, that, in order to topple Libya, the State Department had been running guns to Al Qaeda, Ansar al-Sharia, ISIS, and likely other groups as well.[174]

A report published in early November cites multiple sources that describe that some 4 guards among a team hired, hastily and with little oversight, to protect the embassy in Benghazi, had been involved in the attack and helped gain entry for their confederates outside the compound.[175]

Other Resources

Rudeness, Disdain, and Disorder

While Hillary Clinton is generally composed and polite in public, many sources detail that her private behavior is anything but. Here is a small selection (see note reference for context, more examples, and more original source information).

  • "Fuck off! It’s enough I have to see you shit-kickers every day! I’m not going to talk to you, too! Just do your Goddamn job and keep your mouth shut."
  • "If you want to remain on this detail, get your fucking ass over here and grab those bags!"
  • "Come on Bill, put your dick up! You can’t fuck her here!!"

[176][177]

Documents dumped in October 2016 reveal a Clinton Campaign that viciously mocked and belittled both its constituents and opponents.[178][179] The Clinton camp's disdain for the Catholic faith in particular ran so deep that, records show, they discussed planning a revolution, or "Catholic Spring", to force a reorganization of the Catholic church and some modification to its doctrine.[180]

James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action released an video in October 2016 documenting how Hillary's campaign coordinates with 3rd parties and Super PACs to incite violence at Trump campaign events.[181] One such activist connected with this activity, Zulema Rodriguez, who bragged about inciting violence at a Trump rally in Chicago, has been found to have received a payment from the Clinton campaign's payroll.[182] A second video released by James O'Keefe's Project Veritas documents an undercover reporter discussing with individuals connected to the Clinton Campaign how to perpetrate voter fraud, and how voter fraud has been perpetrated in the past.[183] Two individuals featured in these videos lost their jobs. Scott Foval was booted from his position, and Robert Creamer announced he was "stepping back" from his position.[184] When questioned about these videos during a press conference shortly after her last debate with Donald Trump, Hillary dodged and then ended the conference.[185]

Emails released by WikiLeaks in October 2016 show that President Obama intentionally intimidated the Supreme Court in order to pressure the court into ruling in favor of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obama Care) and that the Clintons credited this intimidation for having saved ObamaCare, countenanced this method, and recommended this method for handling a subsequent challenge.[186]

A security agent interviewed by the FBI in connection with Hillary's mishandling of classified information revealed that Hillary behaved contemptuously towards her security staff and endangered herself and her security detail by ignoring security protocol.[187] Her contemptuous attitude apparently so affected her security staff that on one occassion, when she broke her elbow after a fall in 2009, it elicited some snickering at her expense from her security detail. One agent is quoted as saying, "we sort of got the last laugh. It was kind of like payback: You’re treating us like s–t. Hey karma is a bitch! We were smiling to ourselves."[188]

FBI investigation into Hillary's mishandling of classified information also revealed that Hillary may have pilfered furniture from the State Department as she ended her tenure as Secretary of State. The Clintons had also stolen from the White House before George W. Bush took office.[189]

A witness in Georgia took footage of a Clinton campaign bus dumping human waste down a storm drain in Lawrenceville, Georgia.[190]

Miscellaneous

Opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact.[191]

During her primary run against Barack Obama in 2008, Hillary Clinton, responding to pressure to exit the race, stated "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California" fueling commentary that she was suggesting Barack Obama might be assassinated.[192]

She has accused Donald Trump of being part of a radical right-wing fringe referred to as the alt-right.[193]

While being critical of Donald Trump's involvement in the birther movement, which questioned whether President Obama was born in the United States, there is significant evidence to suggest that the birther movement was actually started by Hillary Clinton, beginning as early as 2007, in her primary run against Obama.[194][195]

Hillary has expressed support for the idea of significantly increasing the federal excise tax on guns.[196]

A document dump to WikiLeaks, of document purported to have been hacked from campaign manager, John Podesta, show Hillary cozying up to Wall Street bankers, pushing herself as a champion of free trade and asserted that "you need both a public and private position." Podesta has asserted that the documents are fake.[197] Documents further show the Clinton campaign toying with manipulation of the Republican primary in order to get a weak candidate like Trump nominated in order to improve Hillary's chances.[198]

Regarding Vladimir Putin, WikiLeaks' email dumps show that Hillary Clinton had told audiences that she found him "engaging", and "an interesting conversationalist."[199]

Despite her current criticism of Trump's plan to build a wall. Hillary, herself, advocated building a wall as recently as 2006.[200][201]

Hillary Clinton has publicly expressed that she does not support TPP. However, emails released by WikiLeaks show that Hillary's campaign, rather, determined that she needed to express that sentiment, despite an actual support for TPP, so that she could get elected.[202]

In 1992, Jerry Brown had criticized Bill Clinton owing to reports that he had breached ethics to promote his wife's career. In responding to this criticism, Hillary Clinton uttered "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life." This saying became infamous as it was widely regarded at the time as being demeaning to housewives. In a later interview Hillary lamented that the reports had taken her comment out of context.[203]
