The Second Clinton Impeachment
Townhall.com ^ | August 11, 2016 | Mike Adams

Posted on 08/11/2016 6:21:43 AM PDT by Kaslin

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.

They find all sorts of ways to slip it in. At least we don’t have to listen to CW or the other paid shill.

I agree with your assessment. If Hillary wins the election, the country we once knew is gone.

You didn't answer my post substantively, so I guess you accept it:

Mike Adams is seriously stupid enough...

Better to keep her out of office in the first place, because if she wins there won’t be any more support to impeach the first female president than there was to impeach the first black president.

The congress and senate is already lost.

They have been taken over by Globalist anti Constitutional Republic traitors to all that our founding fathers envisioned for our country to be.

There are literally hundreds of reasons to impeach and convict Obama but will that happen?

So why expect it with Hillary.

The premise of this article is SOP for the dems, use projection to demonize Trump with all the issues that are in fact more honestly attributed to Mrs. Bill Clinton.

As Twinkie corrected in post #18 showed:

***Because the DEMOCRATS have decided to nominate a
misinformed, unqualified, crooked, and unstable
candidate, it is now virtually guaranteed that
DONALD J. TRUMP will be our next President of the
United States.***

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3458593/posts?page=18#18

The only incorrect assumption is the last sentence.

That is as it should be, but elections seem to have a way of being stolen by voter fraud.

Happened with the last two Presidential elections, and the dems, as has been seen, will not even stop at murder to push their candidates and agenda onto the USA.

And the cowardly milktoast republican eGOP lazy will help the fraud along as they wish to just sit back in comfort w/dem having the highest office in the land as their corrupt $’s will continue to roll in no matter who of the uniparty is elected.

If by some miracle Trump gets elected we have a chance for survival with out a massive amount of blood shed.

Push has come to shove.

If the corrupt politicians influenced by Globalist foreign countries and their leaders pull off the massive fraud that will be needed to put Clinton in office, that will be a sign that they are calling for the Tree of Liberty to be watered (a Constitutional and inevitable occurrence)

This author is showing many reasons to vote for Trump, but his theory that Clinton would be impeached is wrong.

She is surrounded by the Teflon of balloons, unicorns and rainbows put there by the compliant media and powerful politicians that have no regard for the Constitution and our Constitutional republic.

Caveat emptor

I know how impeachment works.

I mention the DOJ only as an indication of how rotten DC has become.

Whenever impeachment has been discussed during obummer’s term, people roll their eyes and say “Look who we would have for president...crazy uncle Joe”.

Kaine was a disaster for VA. He would be no better as pres than hildabeast.

Republicans will not go for it.

You have got to be joking. Dr Adams is probably more conservative than you can even dream to be.

There isn’t a single congressman or senator who will come forward to support going after them; they are all scared, likely of the IRS or other organizations. We have no heroes.

"The mod should pull down this anti-Trump thread by an anti-Trump 'RAT sympathizer, and YOU should figure out what resort Cincinnatus Wife is staying in for the duration, and join her for margaritas this afternoon."

Well said, mkjessup. And I nominate this as the best post of the day!


Well thank you for that FRiend, I call it the way I see it, and I'm personally getting tired of good and decent FReepers having to fight for Trump, while having to watch their backsides for these whining, mewling, so-called 'articles' being posted by people who ought to know better, articles that do nothing to advance the campaign, articles that are backbiting Trump and every one of his supporters.

Such posters all know who they are, and so do we.

His first sentence gives him away as a fake. It appears to me that everyone who claims Trump is mot a real conservative have never been conservatives. Just look at the list:

1. Jeb Bush
2. George Bush
3. Karl Rove
4. Kasich
5. McCain
6. Myth Romney
7. Dana Perino
8. Glenn Beck
9. Marco Rubio
10. Ted sCruz “other women”

the list goes on.

I remember one who was, shocked, shocked, shocked I tell ya, that something bad was being said about Trump. When he had been posting all sorts of that garbage for months.

Came on a JimRob thread after Jim started zotting the NeverTrumpers. I remember that thread very well.

Well, that genie is out of the bottle now, isn’t it? And the genie isn’t going anywhere soon thanks to the evil Obama.

This article is a crock. The usual hand-wringing, panty-waist hysteria Trump bashing that’s been going on for months.

Go, Trump, go!

You are full of it.

You are the one that is a fake and I tell you why. You deny Dr Adams the First amendment which includes Freedom of speech. You deny him the right to his his opinion and only a liberal would do that.

The reason I understand this is wrong is because of the bolded part and looking at the big picture. The author is following the whole corrupt leftist narrative of Trump, they all are trying to push right now, trying to bring Donald Trump down.

Whether it's coordinated or just out of fear, it is dead wrong. If it's the latter, my advice to him or anyone, is to quit letting the leftist media and it's corrupt culture any power over us.

They are corrupt, we know it, we just have to understand when to recognize it, and stop letting them have any power over us.
