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.

I couldn’t get past the first sentence.
Don’t you need 67 Senate votes, not 51?
Anybody seriously believe that Paul RINO and Mitch “Mr. Magoo” McConnell would ever allow the impeachment of Hillary to even be debated? Heck they are already talking about helping Hillary push amnesty for illegals in her first 100 days to “prove to the liberal media that Republicans like Hispanics and Donald Trump was a fluke”. The first time CNN or the New York Times throws out the “sexism” charge any impeachment talk will be quickly crushed by the Republican establishment.
“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.”
When you start out with an outrages lie, the rest is not worth reading.
The same people, RINOS, who are against Trump would be the people who would have to impeach. Never going to happen. If the are afraid now, wait until the witch gets into office.
I couldn’t either if I had a pea-sized brain like you have.
Exactly. You need 2/3 votes which would be 67 votes
Trump was not my first choice, but I am happy to see that the political establishment was not able to force their candidate on us. That alone is a reason for Trump to get my vote.
Trump for the White House. Hitlery for the Big House.
I upchucked after starting to read this...
Defeatism is lethal.
“The same people, RINOS, who are against Trump would be the people who would have to impeach. Never going to happen. If the are afraid now, wait until the witch gets into office.”
I can understand if these people are not fully behind Trump - he’s upsetting their applecart, and they’re not happy. But DON’T stand in his way while the only alternative is Hillary.
Impeachment is possible (though doubtful - remember that the Witch will have the full power of the Fed.gov at her disposal to intimidate and bribe Congress); conviction is utterly impossible.
This entire article is a prime example of fantasy leading to mental masturbation.
Sorry!
No. Lost me in sentence two.
The republicans WANT Hillary in there.
It’s all changing for these media people. Especially for tge republicans who have put it all on Hillary winning they are without anchor. They are lost.
Tge voters are irretrievably on to the con game and are calling it off. A week of the media claiming Trump has called for violence hasn’t deterred anyone. It just gains Trump more support
A claim like this that the republicans will impeach her, is read like, ‘vote for Hillary, we’ll impeach her’
They don’t even know what to say at this point. By October they’ll be babbling They’ll look like the mayor of shsrk city stammering to Chief Brody ‘my kids were on that beach too’
Because the first Clinton impeachment went so well
Yeah. Starting out by dismissing Trump out of hand is questionable but I get that it was required for the rest of his premise so I can get past it.
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.
I corrected it from a LIE to the TRUTH!!
Usually love Mike Adams. But..... Who in Congress is going to have the guts to stand up to her? Other than a couple of Senators no one has stood up to obozo. Why would they defy Hitlery?
You are delusional if you do.
