A brief guide to Clinton scandals from Travelgate to Emailgate
Washington Examiner ^ | April 123, 2015 | Mark Tapscott

Hillary Clinton is entering the presidential race in a cloud of scandal surrounding foreign contributions to the Clinton family foundation and her use of a private email account and server to conduct official business while secretary of state. But she and her husband are no strangers to scandal.

There often seemed to be no end of the scandals during President Bill Clinton's two terms in the White House and Hillary Clinton's campaigns for the Senate starting in 2000 and the Oval Office in 2008. Political experts began diagnosing "Clinton Fatigue" long ago.

A 'brief' guide to scandals related to the first FLOTUS in U.S. history to be the target of a criminal investigation.

Gotta love the amazing 'coincidence' when the 'lost' Rose law firm files were 'found' just after the statute of limitations expired.

The 0bamas may be communist parasites, but they aren’t the heads of a crime syndicate like the Clintons.

Hilary would definitely bash in your head with a baseball bat at a nice sit down dinner.

How a corrupt creature like this could actually be RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT - instead of serving time in a Federal penitentary for 20+ years boggles the mind.

It shows me just how OUT of whack and out of control our corrupt government has become. Not to mention the millions of democrat voters out there.

Remember what I've said about Hillary Clinton:

1. She attracts scandal like bees to honey.
2. She hates criticism of her and gets into temper tantrums when criticized.
3. Her age (turning 69 just before Election Day 2016) could make it really uncomfortable for her when compared to the much younger, more vibrant candidates like Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and even Rand Paul.

They also left out the part of the Hillarycare fiasco where she shredded the Health Care Task Force records after they were ruled to be public documents, and then stuck the taxpayers with the fine after she was found in contempt of court for it.

I can't find it now but I remember when The New American, in the early 90s, was doing articles on all the Clinton scandals, Troopergate, etc and an article mentioned that with both Bill and Hillary there were 100+ years of potential indictable offenses. As I recall Bill had more, but they were both above 100 years. Each alleged offense was listed with the potential years in prison. Anyone else remember this or have the source material?

Clarification of my post above - the magazine was The American Spectator.

Yep, no way can a guide to Clinton scandals be brief!

That’s definitely brief, including both the number on the list, and the descriptions of why prosecutions failed...which were often scandals in and of themselves.

One thing I remember about Filegate was there were IRS tax returns put in with the FBI files that were pulled and there are not supposed to be tax records mixed in with them! I don’t know why this isn’t mentioned more when Filegate gets discussed.

Bump for later. I almost forgot about Travel Gate.
