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.

Really. Eff this Adams character.
So it stands to reason that the call to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, would require the same kind of courage in the face of evil and doom. So, why don't you please excuse yourself, get out of my foxhole because we have a war to fight. . . and, apparently, fighting this war IS NOT FOR YOU!!
If I accept his premise - as exemplified in his first sentence, then why bother with any of the rest? It’s all a fools folly.
Oh. I know exactly what his point is. And my point, in case you missed it, is ‘without a republican house and/or senate’ has been accomplished. Once in 2010 then in 2012, by ‘we the people’ and the people were rewarded with nothing but congress enabling the democrats and they are quite finished with believing that the congress will fix the corruption that is destroying the country
Tge people have voted for Trump
This article is a waste of typing.
I suggest the writer doesn’t hasten too fast with his doom and gloom, the election is not over yet. Perhaps he reads too many polls to know that they are soooooooooo far off target and reported as the gospel truth, he sees Trump losing, I DO NOT. If indeed he does lose, then he can bring up the Clinton Impeachment issue once again. I see the article as premature.
“.......some of the greatest victories in history were achieved by brave men and women who faced imminent defeat and overwhelming odds. Those kinds of victories are WHAT MADE AMERICA GREAT!!!”..........
Excellent! Never give up!!!

I’m so sick of being told that we HAVE to vote for so-and-so because he or she will be chairman of some committee and woe is us if the Democrats are in charge. I did their bidding for 20 years, only to watch the GOP act like spineless jellyfish when the going got tough. I’m sick of the whole lot because, frankly, I can’t tell the difference between them any more. I’ll vote for whoever I want this time and if people don’t like it...bite me!
The civilized world will probably pay a big price for that failure, not to mention the current one who is at 1600.
Except that Mike Adams is not a liar. If he didn't believe it, he wouldn't say it. I believe (and hope) he is wrong.
If "none of the above" was a voting option, it might well win this cycle. Since it's not, ABC is the rule. Anyone But Clinton!
This is part of the strength of the Trump campaign: His strong supporters see this as “Donald Trump or Bust”.
I wish I was more sanguine that it is not going to be “bust”. It is true that his supporters are absolutely rabidly supporting him, but with the demographic of the US, that may not be enough. Just as many (or more) may vote for Hillary because they are just so afraid of Trump, and the MSM has effectively brainwashed them.
Bu my question to the STRONG “Trump or Bust crowd is this: What if we end up with “bust”.
I couldn’t either if I had a pea-sized brain like you have-———————————————————————
Please, that is a DU caliber response and unbecoming of FR.
They we go to plan B.
William Jefferson was impeached by the House but the Senate did not remove him because the Republicans did not have the 2/3 of the votes in the Senate as required. That is factual
The thing is that if enough Americans agree with the first sentence (which may have been tongue in cheek), Hillary wins.
He’s really writing about “what if hillary wins?”
It’s a good question. Any general asks the question before going into a battle.
This op-ed by Dr Adams requires careful reading and he is exactly rightEvery once in awhile you show your anti-Trump self in your own words. You've done it once again.
This lunacy is beneath even you
Both you and Townhall.com should be banned.
Macadam is not known to have intelligence. It’s a pavement. Duh!
Ignoring your ad-hominem post, I’m finding that you are one of the more “level headed” posters in this thread. We need to get to the core point and address it. This is not a moive where we are writing the script. There is a real possibility that Hillary could win. Then what? what kind of makeup do we want in the congress?
Totally delusional to think Shrillary could be removed from office by a Republican Congress. Even if the House could somehow work up the guts to impeach, we will never have the 2/3 vote needed in the Senate to convict and remove from office.
No, the one and only way to keep Shrillary out of the White House is to beat her on Nov. 8. No matter what Mike Adams may think of Trump, a Trump victory is the only hope.
