Makes you wonder what the real “Clinton global initiative” is all aboutPosted on 03/09/2015 8:48:53 AM PDT by NOBO2012
The Clintons have always attracted scandals like black gabardine trousers attract lint from cheap white napkins. They’ve hosted two doozies in just the last few weeks:
Makes you wonder what the real “Clinton global initiative” is all about
Don’t worry though, if you were planning on Hillary being our historic, first female president, Bubba has established a new ethical standard against which all behavior can now be measured: did it do more good than harm?
And he’ll be the judge.
“You’ve got to decide, when you do this work whether it’ll do more good than harm if someone helps you from another country” he stated. And “my theory about all this is disclose everything, and then let people make their judgments. But I think there are more than 300,000 people, you should know this, who in some form or fashion have contributed money to the work we’ve done over the years, and I believe we’ve done a lot more good than harm.”
By utilizing this handy “ends justifies the means” standard, I believe both Bill and Hill will be exonerated of any wrongdoing in both of the current scandals generated by the vast right wing conspiracy, as well as most of the old ones as well:
None of this is likely to sidetrack the intractable Clintons as long as everyone understands exactly what they’re signing on for:
The Clinton Restoration will require routinely defending the indefensible. It will require recalibrating all legal and ethical standards to suit the personal and financial interests of the Clintons. It will require a willingness to use these phrases with a shameless abandon: “old news,” “everybody does it” and “not technically illegal.”
“I parse words; what’s your super power?”
Honestly though, does America want to elect the one woman in the country who didn’t learn the lesson of Watergate?
But Mrs. Clinton seems to have missed the most important lesson that everyone else learned from the Watergate scandal: The cover up is worse than the crime.
Of all people you would think Hillary would have got that, as she worked on the prosecution side of the Watergate case! Although her motives seemed to have been something beyond lesson learning:
When the Watergate probe concluded, Zeifman said, he fired Clinton from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation. She was one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career, Calabrese pointed out.
Zeifman told the columnist he fired Clinton because she was a liar.
“She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer,” Zeifman said. “She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.” – WND
What difference, at this point, does it make!!
I don’t know how things will shape up for Hills in the long run, butt since the White House has unofficially weighed in and actively gone to work to take out two democrats in just the last week alone it looks like the Clintons aren’t the only Wons willing to take out their political enemies any more.
If Bill and Hill are committed to hanging in for the long game, I have a couple of indispensible campaign-trail aids they should perhaps order by the gross and keep at the ready:

Must be devastating to be

old
and caught.
Wiggle, bitch.
FR really needs a LIKE button!
Hillary’s biggest problem - - she lacks accomplishments - beyond marrying a very political man. That’s a problem with people who weren’t around when her husband was charming the pants off women and democrats.
Bill’s old now... that ‘devil may care’ attitude’s starting to come across like Biden... creepy. If Hillary doesn’t have Bill - what’s she got?
Back in the day young reporters looked the other way at Clinton scandals. Papers were making money - and they were gatekeepers. That changed with Drudge and it'll never change back. If the 'cattle futures thing' happened today even the suck-ups at the New York Times would cover it.
People have been predicting the early demise of the Clintons on FR since the late 90s. My take is that leftys with gold plated healthcare seem to go on forever (Soros, Carter, Castro, etc).

Not so sure about that. Harry Reid made some corrupt deals, all I hear are crickets. Same with Obama's deals with Rezko. They weren't complicated. Menendez would have skated if he hadn't pissed Obama off. Those things all appear in our alternative media, we read about it, understand that criminal laws were violated, and not a word is uttered in the press nor does the DOJ ever feign an interest. The average LIV out there never has any idea it ever happened, and for all intents and purposes, it never did.

I thought of this the other day, but not in the same sense.
His HA will happen at a most convenient moment...and will bring her the sympathy vote, while wiping the scandals off of the news cycles.
40 years later, still the same.
