“”Clinton insisted that the donations never influenced policy””

How would he know? I guess that’s what Hillary told him - one of the few times she was speaking to him anyway!

I’ll say it again, Bill Clinton does not really want Hillary to be President. He is perfectly happy being the only Clinton, and doesn’t want the microscope anymore.

He wants her to lose.

Her “historic” achievement would take up a lot of ink in the history books, and leave less to devote to him.

Bubba don’t want that.

"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

Whitewater Convictions

Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax evasion)

William J. Marks, Sr.: Jim Guy Tucker's business partner (conspiracy)

Stephen Smith: former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Webster Hubbell: Clinton political supporter; Rose Law Firm partner (embezzlement, fraud)

Jim McDougal: banker, Clinton political supporter: (18 felonies, varied)

Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

David Hale: banker, self-proclaimed Clinton political supporter: (conspiracy, fraud)

Neal Ainley: Perry County Bank president (embezzled bank funds for Clinton campaign)

Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Larry Kuca: Madison real estate agent (multiple loan fraud)

Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned.

John Latham: Madison Bank CEO (bank fraud)

Eugene Fitzhugh: Whitewater defendant (multiple bribery)

Charles Matthews: Whitewater defendant (bribery)

Ultimately the Clintons were never charged, but 15 other persons were convicted of more than 40 crimes, including Bill Clinton's successor as Governor, who was removed from office.[40]

What about "I never had sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky. Not a single time" ?

Could that have been maybe a falsehood?

Oh, I forgot. She had sex with you, but you didn't have sex with her.

I'll take Bribery Defenses for $200, Alex. The question is, "what's the most common phrase used in trials for felony bribery in the world"?

OMG I really don’t think he wants her to win....!!!

She would have been NO WHERE in life if she was not married to him

When she has absolutely no need for him, do you think she will let him bang bimbos in the white house?

Of course, it all depends on what the meaning of the word influence is. /s
