It’s amazing how the Clintons get away with so much.

There were so many scandals during the Clinton years.

One would think that the impeachment would have tarnished the Clintons, even though Bill was not voted out of office then.

Yet today, Bill is like some revered elder statesman, and Hillary is a leading presidential candidate. Who would ever have believed this would have happened, if we were discussing the Clinton future back in the Clinton years???

"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

They couldn’t have gotten away with it if we had a free press. The mainstream media—especially television news exists to promote the Democrats. It is what TASS and IZVESTIA was to the Soviet Union.
