Because the Republicans have decided to nominate a misinformed, unqualified, and unstable candidate it is now virtually guaranteed that Hillary Clinton will be our next president. Our efforts now are not to be directed toward getting Trump in office based on some pipe dream that he will somehow save the Supreme Court. Our efforts need to be focused on keeping a Republican House and Senate. The reason is simple: We have a case for impeaching Hillary Clinton beginning in January of 2017.
Clinton is guilty of more serious crimes than those of her husband prior to his impeachment. Next year she will have been placed in office by accepting a series of bribes – some of which have been funneled through her private “charitable” foundation and illegally used to fund her campaign for the presidency. If that is not an impeachable offense then no offense is impeachable.
None of this should come as a surprise. The Clintons began accepting bribes from corporations long before Bill even got out of office. In May of 1999, bankruptcy attorney William Brandt gave $1 million to the Clinton Presidential Library. Three months later, the Clinton Justice Department dropped charges against him for lying under oath about illegal lobbying of federal officials. The same year Anheuser-Busch kicked in $1 million after the Clinton administration dropped a bid to regulate beer advertisements aimed at minors.
It only got worse the following year when Denise Rich paid three bribes to the Clintons in exchange for the pardon of her husband Marc Rich. One bribe was $100,000 to Hillary’s 2000 Senate campaign. Another was $450,000 to the Clinton presidential library. A final bribe was for $1 million to the Democratic Party. Rich was pardoned on Clinton’s last day in office.
Things have only gotten worse since Hillary became the Secretary of State. The Clinton Foundation has been collecting money from foreign-owned businesses without getting approval from the Obama administration. The foundation has also failed to disclose millions of dollars of gifts (bribes) from foreign entities seeking Hillary’s help to approve of transactions with serious national security implications.
Speaking of serious national security implications, it is interesting to observe the change in policy toward India since Bill left office in 2001. India had never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and was hit with sanctions for refusing to do so. India attempted to have those sanctions lifted by having Indian entities with a direct financial interest in lifting the sanctions pay Bill Clinton large speaking fees. Indians who could legally do so also made donations to Hillary’s senate and presidential campaigns. Additionally, millions were poured directly into the Clinton Foundation. After the bribes were deposited, Bill and Hillary went to work lifting the sanctions that Bill had imposed as president.
The activities of the Clinton Foundation deserve heightened scrutiny because foreign governments cannot contribute to American political campaigns. But they can donate to a “charity” like the foundation. They are also allowed to pay exorbitant fees for speeches. Americans of all political persuasions should be troubled by the fact that corporations benefiting from State Department actions while Hillary was Secretary of State have funded Clinton speeches. Notably, affiliates of companies funding Clinton speeches have been the direct recipients of tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. Predictably, the Clintons never disclosed any of the obvious conflicts of interests.
After the initial years following Bill Clinton’s presidency, his income from speeches started to dwindle. Then, when Hillary became Secretary of State in 2009 his high-paying overseas speeches suddenly started to increase in frequency. Of the thirteen speeches Bill Clinton has given for over half a million dollars, eleven occurred when his wife was Secretary of State.
Nigeria, which is one of the most corrupt nations on the planet, has been one of the biggest moneymakers for Bill Clinton. In his first eight years out of office, Bill never spoke in Nigeria. After Hillary became Secretary of State, Bill pulled in two of his top three speeches ever ($700,000 each) speaking in Nigeria.
Despite its record of corruption, Hillary granted Nigeria a waiver so it could continue to receive US assistance. This is despite the fact that in 2006 $1 million from a poverty alleviation fund was funneled into an organization run by Nduka Obaigbena in order to bring Beyonce to Nigeria. Obaigbena is also the alleged underwriter of Bill Clinton’s $700,000 speeches.
Clinton benefactor Gilbert Chagoury has been implicated in numerous bribery and corruption schemes in Nigeria. He has built a financial empire with the help of Sani Abacha, a Nigerian dictator whose time in office was known for brutality, bribery, and corruption. Abacha is also tied to Mark Rich who helped obtain oil assets in Nigeria and sell them for the benefit of General Abacha. During the same time frame, Abacha funneled hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign assistance into European bank accounts.
Chagoury also funneled money into the 1996 Clinton reelection campaign and to the Democratic National Committee. He donated nearly half a million dollars to a voter registration group tied to the DNC. Even the Washington Post had the good sense to recognize that it was done to curry favor with the Clinton administration on behalf of the Abacha dictatorship.
In 2000, Chagoury was convicted in Switzerland of money laundering and of “aiding a criminal organization in connection with billions of dollars stolen from Nigeria.” Since his conviction he has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation. In 2009, after Hillary became Secretary of State, he pledged a whopping billion dollars to the Clintons.
In December of 2009, Hillary Clinton gave a speech as a part of “International Anti-Corruption Day,” in which she praised the work of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in combatting bribery. In fact, she would go on to chair the group two years later. This is the same woman who began her political career with a controversy over turning a $1000 investment in cattle futures into $100,000. Throughout her career, the biggest payments into her coffers have not come from countries like England and Germany. They have flowed from nations rife with corruption and bribery.
Nonetheless, in 2012 Hillary stated that fighting corruption is an “integral part of national security” adding that “our credibility depends on practicing what we preach.” She even said that bribery is “morally wrong – and far too common.”
Indeed. Screwing your country with bribes is far more serious than screwing your intern with cigars. Let the proceedings begin.
Author’s Note: The main source for this column was "Clinton Cash" by Peter Schweizer.
We don't have the Congress.
The Uniparty has the Congress.
If Hillary Clinton is "elected", six people will rule this country - 5 Supreme Court jesters, and a lawless Crooked Chief Law Enforcement officer.
That is NOT an accurate précis of this article. You’re spinning now because the article is crap.
No one here needs to be told that we need to keep (and strengthen) our hold on Congress, preferably with some real conservative leadership, at last.
What Adams says correctly is obvious, and when he is not saying the obvious he is simply wrong.
We've witnessed the full power of the Media Death Star being brought to bear on Donald Trump.
Is Mike Adams seriously stupid enough to think that several hundred pretend "Republicans" are going to challenge the Left's fully armed and operational Battle Station?
It is to scoff. "Doctor" Adams? Perhaps Mike needs to review his "logic".
I hope the information in this article finds its way to the Trump strategists.
Me neither. DOA...
Agreed. Hillary has how many decades of corruption and scandal under her belt? No one has stopped her. She should never have been confirmed as Sec of State. She should have been investigated while Sec of State for Clinton Foundation shenanigans, pay for play. Never happened. She would never be impeached.
What good would impeachment do anyway? President Tim Kaine is better?
Impeachment in this style would set a bad precedent. The dems are already discussing impeaching Trump immediately should he be elected.
Too many pundits and Beltway insiders throwing around dangerous ideas to subvert our entire political system. Scary how many people think these ideas are good.
Never thought I would disagree with Dr Adams so adamantly. He may have pegged Clinton but he is totally wrong about Trump. Plus he is delusional if he thinks a GOP House or Senate will do anything other than appease Hillary. They have given the Kenyan everything he wanted since having control.
BTW since theHouse holds the purse strings who okayed the $400 million to Iran?
This anti Trump crap is getting old! What has this Republican controlled congress done so far but go all in for Obama. Some one is delusional and it is not a Trump supporter
Well said, mkjessup. And I nominate this as the best post of the day!
What has a Republican controlled congress done but advance Obama agenda since 2010? You expect them to change in 2017?
Who do these people at TownHall support, Kasich???
News Flash, I voted for Ronald Reagan twice.
What has a Republican controlled congress done but advance Obama agenda since 2010? You expect them to change in 2017?
I think trump can challenge that to the point that R’s will have to comply. If he is not elected, well, We had a pretty good couple of centuries...
News Flash: The senate does not impeach. The House does. The Senate prosecutes and removes, but if we do not increase our majority there is no chance that she will be impeached and especially removed.
The Holy Grail for the Democrat Party this election cycle is the Supreme Court.
Installing the lawless Crooked Hillary isn't just a twofer - it's like a threefer or fourfer.
She'll be a Lawless Crooked Enraged Hulk, Jim Comey will be her doormat, and the Media will be a ceaseless artillery barrage laying cover fire for her daily outrages and lawlessness.
Mike Adams doesn't recognize that once the Democrats have the Holy Grail in hand, they'll put the pedal to the metal on their lawless spree.
The election of Hillary is the Holy Grail, with golden sprinkles and a massive fireworks display on top.
The Media ripped their masks off. Do you honestly think they'll hold back once the Ring of Power is in their hands?
News flash: Mike Adams Mitt the bed with his “analysis”.
Mike S. Adams was born in Columbus, Mississippi on October 30, 1964. While a student at Clear Lake High School in Houston, TX, his team won the state 5A soccer championship. Adams graduated from C.L.H.S. in 1983 with a 1.8 GPA. He was ranked 734 among a class of 740, largely as a result of flunking English all four years of high school.
After obtaining an Associate's degree in psychology from San Jacinto College, Mike Adams moved on to Mississippi State University where he joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity. While living in the fraternity house, his GPA rose to 3.4, allowing him to finish his B.A., and then to pursue a Master's in Psychology. In 1990, Adams turned down a chance to pursue a PhD in psychology from the University of Georgia, opting instead to remain at Mississippi State to study Sociology/Criminology. This decision was made entirely on the basis of his reluctance to quit his night job as member of a musical duo. Playing music in bars and at fraternity parties and weddings financed his education. He also played for free beer.
Upon getting his doctorate in 1993, Mike Adams, then an atheist and a Democrat, was hired by UNC-Wilmington to teach in the criminal justice program. A few years later, Adams abandoned his atheism and also became a Republican. He also nearly abandoned teaching when he took a one-year leave of absence to study law at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1998.
After returning to teach at UNC-Wilmington, Mike Adams won the Faculty Member of the Year award (issued by the Office of the Dean of Students) for the second time in 2000.
After his involvement in a well publicized free speech controversy in the wake of the 911 terror attacks, Mike Adams became a vocal critic of the diversity movement in academia. He has since made appearances on shows like Hannity and Colmes, the O'Reilly Factor, and Glenn Beck. His column on TownHall.com has earned him countless hate mails - often from radical feminists who hate males.
Mike Adams published his first book, Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel, in 2004. His second book, Feminists Say the Darndest Things: A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts "Womyn" On Campus, was published in 2008. Later that year, Adams joined the faculty of Summit Ministries in Colorado where he spends his summers lecturing against abortion and in favor of First Amendment rights on college campuses.
In addition to lecturing on the First Amendment, Mike Adams is actively involved in legal challenges to campus censorship. Represented by the ADF, he won a landmark First Amendment case before the 4th Circuit in Richmond, VA. Decided in 2011, Adams v UNCW held that professors publishing columns and giving speeches have the full protection of the First Amendment when discussing matters of public concern. Hence, when professors report such activities as part of their annual review, tenure, or promotion materials the university does not have license to discriminate on the basis of the professor's viewpoint.
Dr. Adams' third book, Letters to a Young Progressive, was published in April of 2013. In 2014, Adams v. UNCW finally went to trial to determine whether the university violated the First Amendment in 2006 by denying his promotion to full professor in retaliation for his speeches and columns on TownHall.com. He was represented at trial by David French of the ACLJ and Travis Barham of ADF. On March 20th, the federal jury ruled in Adams favor. On April 8th, the court ordered UNCW to promote Adams and give him seven years back pay. He spent most of the money on guns made by Browning, guitars made by Fender, and amps made by Mesa Boogie.
“William Jefferson was impeached by the House...”
... and it accomplished nothing but to allow him to gain public sympathy by claiming the “right wingers” were persecuting him for getting a blowjob. Great results there.
There is no chance we would have 2/3 in the Senate, period. There won’t be 2/3 Republicans, some of the RINOs like Susan Collins would not vote for it anyway, and ‘Rats will not cross over for that.
This entire thread is worthless.
