From Whitewater to Benghazi: A Clinton-Scandal Primer

Is there more to the Benghazi story than it appears?

It’s hard to believe that after multiple investigations spanning the nearly four years since the attack in Libya killed four Americans, there might be any new information to be found. But the State Department now says that the FBI has found 30 deleted emails from Hillary Clinton related to the incident.

Clinton turned over some 55,000 emails to the State Department after leaving office, having sorted them into work and personal emails; she says the personal emails were deleted. But emails keep popping up—some from lawsuits brought my accountability groups like the conservative Judicial Watch and others, like these 30, in the course of an FBI investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state.

In late June, after months of investigation, a special House of Representatives Committee concluded that the Obama administration should have better fortified consular buildings, but did not find any specific wrongdoing by Clinton on the night of the attacks. A week later, the FBI announced that it would not recommend charges against Clinton for her use of the server, though Director James Comey called her and her staff “extremely careless.” The FBI is expected to release documents related to that investigation as soon as this week, and it has also handed over other information to Congress.

Whoa, and this from the Atlantic? Though the author in some respects minimizes the scandals, there's enough there to make any lib take a second look at Hillary Clinton. Drip, drip, drip. . .

This is getting creepy. The Atlantic has been printing a number of anti-Hillary articles lately.

Yes, this along with the dump about the Clinton Foundation from the NYT today. Do the inside the beltway types have knowledge that she's dropping out? Joe on deck?

[BlessedBeGod]

Joe on deck?

LOL, I would just love to see Joe go up against Trump in the debates. I'd give him five minutes before he'd fold.

Yes indeed! Can Joe even get on the ballot? I wonder who would run if she drops out? Would Kaine move up? Don't know the logistics on that one.

Hillary Clinton was a lying, immoral crook long before Whitewater:

* Thrown off Watergate committee for concealing research favorable to Nixon’s possible defense if impeached and tried by Congress.
* Defended Black Panthers who kidnapped and tortured two black women.
* Successfully defended a rapist by destroying the credibility of his 12 year old female victim.

Clinton is evil incarnate.

Indictment, health, death: Tim Kaine.

She already told us. To Clinton, Kaine's deep background in politics made him the perfect choice to take the presidential reins if needed. "Secondly," she added, "he's a progressive who likes to get things done. That's how I describe myself."

We should be ready to run against him or whoever pre-November 2016. I can't believe she's made it this far.

"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."

Good use of Wiki - you can in most cases just post the link for instance: Travelgate to get the subject out ...

And then throw in a linked pithy quote:

Hillary Clinton gradually came under scrutiny for allegedly having played a central role in the firings and making false statements about her role in it. In 2000, Independent Counsel Robert Ray issued his final report on Travelgate. He sought no charges against her, saying that while some of Clinton's statements were factually false, there was insufficient evidence that these statements were either knowingly false or that she understood that her statements led to the firings.

Although its a constant battle, things political on Wiki still seem to tilt progressive but at least out and out falsehoods don't last long ... ;-)

Good use of Wiki

I guess you're referring to my also linking to the archived page at web.archive.org? Because these articles often change over time, with damaging info on democrats often being replaced by sugarcoated BS.

Hillary Clinton, zombie:

“Can Joe even get on the ballot?
Remember New Jersey and Frank Lautenberg?
We’re talking Dems here, of course they can dump Hill and get Joe (the drunk) on the ballot, rules be damned/.

[FrdmLvr]

It’s a ticket we vote for, so I would think that the VP candidate would move up if the candidate dropped out or died.
