Amazing
to me how much we have forgotten!
When Bill Clinton was president, he
allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after
threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic
controlled congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $93 million
in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.
Then President Clinton gave Hillary
authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two
selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw
their names from consideration.
Next she chose Janet Reno – husband
Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.” Some may not remember
that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian
religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and
children.
Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make
recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier
was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovery of Ms.
Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.
Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill
allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law
partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White
House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her
selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed
suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.
Many younger votes will have no
knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel
contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House
Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported
to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their
jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy
Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing
personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than
two hours.
Still not convinced of her ineptness,
Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for
the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was
investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies
(Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly
Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course,
denied knowledge of drug use in the White House. Following this
debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty
years of service to seven presidents.
Next, when women started coming forward
with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was
put in charge of the “bimbo eruption” and scandal defense. Some of
her more notable decisions in the debacle was:
She urged her husband not to settle the Paula
Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.
She refused to release the Whitewater
documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor.
After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation
led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his
affairs.
Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in
Bill losing his license to practice law for 'lying under oath' to a grand jury
and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.
Hillary avoided indictment for perjury
and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do
not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times
while under oath.
After leaving the White House, Hillary
was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and
artwork that she had stolen.
What a swell party – ready for another four
or eight year of this type low-life mess?
Now we are exposed to the destruction
of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the
“pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe
will fall next. But to her loyal fans - “what difference does it make?”
