Democratic Insider: Hillary ‘Unfit’ for President

Democratic Insider: Hillary ‘Unfit’ for President

An upcoming book by a longtime Democratic insider asserts that Sen. Hillary Clinton is “ethically unfit” to hold public office. The author of the book is Jerry Zeifman, who was counsel to the House Judiciary Committee for 17 years. He was chief counsel to the committee during the Watergate episode, a role he chronicled in an earlier book, “Without Honor: The Crimes of Camelot and the Impeachment of President Nixon.”

Hillary was a committee staffer at the time. And Zeifman’s new book “Hillary’s Pursuit of Power” is based in large part on his personal experiences with Hillary.

A press release about the book states: “This book describes and documents unethical practices of Senator Hillary Clinton . . .

“In 1974, [Zeifman] had supervisory authority of a staff that included Hillary Rodham, who was then engaged in a variety of self-serving unethical practices in violation of House rules.

“In 1998, as consultant to a member of the Judiciary Committee that impeached President Clinton, he gained extensive personal insights into the unethical practices of Hillary Clinton in her White House ‘west wing’ office.

“A lifelong Democrat, Jerry Zeifman has concluded that Hillary Clinton is ethically unfit to be either a senator or president – and if she were to become President, the last vestige of the traditional moral authority of the party of Roosevelt, Truman and Johnson will be destroyed.”

Zeifman provided more details about his dealings with Hillary in a letter he wrote to the New York Post in August 1999. It read in part:

“In December 1974, as general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, I made a personal evaluation of Hillary Rodham (now Mrs. Clinton), a member of the staff we had gathered for our impeachment inquiry on President Richard Nixon. I decided that I could not recommend her for any future position of public or private trust.

“Why? Hillary's main duty on our staff has been described by her authorized biographer as ‘establishing the legal procedures to be followed in the course of the inquiry and impeachment.’ A number of the procedures she recommended were ethically flawed.

“And I also concluded that she had violated House and committee rules by disclosing confidential information to unauthorized persons…

“During my … tenure with the House Judiciary Committee, I had supervisory authority over several hundred staff members. With the exception of Ms. Rodham, [special counsel John] Doar and [senior associate special counsel Bernard] Nussbaum, I recommended all of them for future positions of public and private trust.”

She could never win a nationwide election, and I think she knows it. She will be Senator from NY for the rest of her life.

Is there ANYONE in the democrat party "ethically fit" to be President? Or County Dogcatcher, for that matter?

I am serious, is there anyone in the modern democrat party with morals?

She could absolutely win. Underestimate her at your own peril. Soros and his billionaire pals will raise a billion dollars if they need to do that to get a victory. Voter fraud will be on a massive scale. Unions will be the foot soldiers getting an unprecedented number of their voters to the polls. They will bus them in from projects. They will have the absentee ballots of felons, mental patients, and those in care facilities. Illegal aliens could be 5% of her vote total. Her organization has been building behind the scenes and is going to be like nothing we have ever seen. You have already seen what the news media has been doing for her. WAKE UP, EVERYONE!
