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.

We already have the Obama precedent he can rule by Executive Order.

So he can repeal all the Obama orders on Day 1 and issue his own.

Who needs Congress?

You have got to be joking. Dr Adams is probably more conservative than you can even dream to be.
So electing Hillary just so we can HOPE to impeach her is now being conservative. Her husband was impeached with no result. Even if she was removed from office we would get Kain or maybe you and DR. West think it will result in the real 3rd in line dimwit getting the job.

Sorry, but you've really destroyed what credibility you think you had.

The arguments against Hillary may be right on, but his major complaint against Trump appears to be that he is not a professional politician. Which is exactly what the actual voters selected this time!

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.

Do YOU really understand our Constitution???

The reason I ask is because unless stockpirate has some government authority to stop what Dr. Adams has to print, he has every right to say what he said.

It's often that I run in to liberals who think of the First Amendment like you stated above. Just saying.

I wonder just how many really, really, really realize just
how very serious this Presidential election is. Critically
serious. - Now, I know that no MORTAL human being is going
to govern perfectly. I, for one, believe that when Yeshua
Ha Maschiach (Christ) returns with His holy angels in power
and GREAT GLORY, the government of man is going to be
laid at the feet of One Who has earned that right. However,
before that, Antichrist must come on the scene first. (I,
for one, think that it just might be the Muslim “Jesus” who
will do great signs & wonders so as to deceive as many as
possible before the Second Coming of Yeshua Ha Maschiach,
Christ Jesus the Lord.

After the mess that this Islamic fakir, Hussein Obama, has
made, many of us have been praying that Yahweh will send
us help from the sanctuary for such a time as this. He
HAS used some very unusual vessels for His purposes, and
may again. - I’ve prayed for His will to be done, for in
the end, that is best. Of course, I hope & pray He won’t
allow the Crooked Clintons to drop their big piles of
poop on this country any more. I’ve lived through as much
of the Clintons as I want in this lifetime.

Is ANYBODY really looking at the wild eyed facial
gyrations of Mrs. Clinton? Common Sense. Common Sense.
Common Sense. Pray it prevails.

This is the last major election in America. Should Hillary become Obama’s 3rd term, it’s game over.

The Antichrist WILL come to power - I submit the strong delusion already has major seedlings - I was shocked at the idiocy that swung through America in 2008.

It was like 1/2 the country was high on crack cocaine. Addicted to a man they’d never met and would not listen to one thing about him and his record.

And now I see Angela Merkel, and I see similar idiocy sweeping the globe.

So you are saying that stockpirate has the government authority to stop Dr Adams from printing his opinion?

Wow, I didn't know we had someone here at FR with that kind of power.

Don't put words in my finger tips that I never typed.

Using a name like Conservative doesn't mean you are a conservative.

Strong delusion that they will believe the LIE! I sure
don’t pretend to know a whole lot or how it will play out.

I can hazard a guess or two. I wonder if the “false prophet”
in the form of MOHAMMED may have already have been and gone.
The Muslim “Jesus” also gives one pause. I don’t know where
the “Mahdi” fits in there.

About the only reason I can see for these “leaders” being
so anxious about getting all these Muslim “migrants” in
here & in Europe is for VOTES! They are not likely to want
to fit into the “work force” much. The welfare state maybe.
VOTES are all I can think. The “Jihadist” stuff has seemed
to abate a little in the last week or so; as if orders came
down from headquarters to cool it. Although they seem a bit
too set on Jihad to take orders from anyone.

I think you’re right. If Hillary becomes Obama’s 3rd term,
it most likely is game over and pray it isn’t with
mushroom clouds.

Oh, and let me hasten to say that Fang & I have neither
one voted for Hussein either time.

I'll post your words again then:

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.

Calling a fellow Freeper a fake for you inappropriately using the First Amendment in your argument was just too rich not to point out. As I pointed out, liberals tend to misuse the First Amendment in much of my experience dealing with them, much like you did here. It's merely an observation.

Those are your typed words, not mine. So before you call anyone fake, you should look in the mirror.

I wasn’t twisting anything, those were your words and inappropriately using the First Amendment just because people on this thread did not see it the author’s way.

The first sentence made this article no good because, in the big picture, that’s the same anti-Trump narrative the whole enemedia and its culture is trying to push on us. There were plenty on this thread that didn’t buy it either.

[KASLIN]: "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."

Please!! No one here has denied Adams the "1st amendment" or his freedom of speech. No one has denied him the "right" to his opinion. You really cannot grasp the difference between criticizing someone's ideas (arguing back against him) vs. "deny(ing) him the right to his opinion"???

This is still a stupid thread.

You and Adams are both idiots supreme. Can anyone but a total fool imagine a President elected to immediately be impeached?!?

I was trying to think of something to compare it with and finally thought of Joan of Arc burned at the stake for witchcraft and canonized a Saint by the Pope. The difference there is almost 500 years.

OK, how about Obama winning the Nobel Prize and causing the destruction of The United States. That is just as insane.

A mandate is not a night out with your gay boyfriend. The first definition of a mandate is the authority to carry out a policy or course of action, regarded as given by the electorate to a candidate or party that is victorious in an election.

That takes an immediate impeachment off the table.
