"Why Don't They Trust Her": A Look At One Of Hillary Clinton's First Ever Scandals
Zero Hedge ^ | September 17, 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 09/17/2016 5:16:51 PM PDT by Perseverando

In recent months the mainstream media has worked itself into a frenzy trying to defend Hillary from the various scandals surrounding her campaign. There is seemingly no end to the "plumes of smoke" emanating from the Clinton camp including questions over Benghazi, missing emails, pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, strange "medical episodes", etc, etc, etc. All the while, the press simply can't bring themselves to understand why voters never quite view her as a trustworthy candidate.

The problem, says Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal, is that the Clinton's have been embroiled in so many scandals dating all the way back to the 1970's that their name has been branded into the American psyche as being synonymous with the word "scandal." While millennial voters are most familiar with the recent scandals (and we all know how well that is playing out for her, see: "Hillary's Growing "Millennial Problem" Forces A Reset"), older voters have been hearing about the Clinton escapades for over a quarter century since they first entered public life on the national level in the early 90's.

As such, the Wall Street Journal took a walk down memory lane by recounting one of Hillary's first scandals that emerged shortly after she entered the White House. It was out of this first scandal that Hillary's critics said she first "revealed the soul of an East German border guard."

Then she—not he—messed it up. It was the first big case in which she showed poor judgment, a cool willingness to mislead, and a level of political aggression that gave even those around her pause. It was after this mess that her critics said she’d revealed the soul of an East German border guard.

Hillary is the face of U.S. political waste, fraud and corruption.

If she is above the law, then every other American should be above the law, as well. Ummm, I guess that would make her the candidate of the U.S. Anarchy Party (formerly known as the DNC.

Her first day back she refused to answer if she told Kaine about her”pneumonia” Such a minor detail that no one really cares about but she couldn’t bring herself to tell the truth

Long before then she had been dismissed from the Watergate legal team for a lack of ethics. She has been known about for a long time.

Some Amazon reviews of Hillary’s new book - THESE ARE REAL
________________________________________
I thought I was buying an adhesive
I thought “Stronger Together” was going to be some kind of crazy glue adhesive to keep my shoes from falling off when I collapse and have to be shoved into a van like a slab of meat. But it’s just a book about a dumb story without a happy ending; turns out I needed to read Bill’s book for that.
This book is a key that unlocks doors to life!!
What a fantastic book! I see that Amazon has this for under $20, but I paid slightly more. I bought this directly from the Clinton foundation for $3.5 million. Once I read this book it’s like everything in my life clicked. The state department released funds from an “associate” of mine who for some odd reason was mistakenly put on the terrorist watchlist. He then invested in my “housing development” project in Saudi Arabia. Also 14 of my relatives were able to get permanant resident status and my niece got a job at a US Embassy! I suppose I could’ve saved some money by buying the version from Amazon, but by buying directly from the Clinton foundation I got a special edition that is much thicker and has pages hollowed out for future “uses”. I hope this book has an audio version because I would love to pay for play...ing it.
Unbelievable turn of events.....
I was going to read this book.....I really was. But just as I got started, I found myself under sniper fire, passed out, and fell and hit my head. After that I got double vision and had to wear glasses that were so damn thick I couldn’t even see to read. Then I had an allergic reaction to something and started coughing so hard I spit out what looked like a couple of lizard’s eyeballs, my limbs locked up, and I passed out and fell down again, waking up only to find out I had been diagnosed with pneumonia 2 days earlier. Somehow I managed to power through it all, but it’s a good thing I was able to make a small fortune on this random small trade in the commodities market (cattle futures or some such thing) and then, miracle of all miracles, a few banks offered me a few million to just talk to their employees for a few minutes - and all that really helped out because I swear I was dead broke and couldn’t figure out how I was gonna come up with the 6 bucks to pay for this book, let alone pay the $1,500 for my health insurance this month. I still want to read it, but, honestly, what difference at this point does it make? I hear it sucks anyway.
Full Disclosure (No, the book doesn’t contain full disclosure of anything.) I’m stating up front that I have yet to purchase and read this book. I am writing to ask if anyone knows to what charity the proceeds of this book’s sales will be donated? One must be ever vigilant in ensuring that charities receiving ones donation will spend the vast majority on aid to the target demographic. It would be a shame to donate to a charity only to find out that the money was spent instead on something like salaries for friends and family, lavish transportation to exotic locations around the world, office expenses already financed by the government, or other types of expenses typical of a slush fund. Since the authors will be given a huge tax deduction for donating the proceeds, let’s hope they are wise in the charity selected for their largess.
Five Stars
My only disappointment with this book is that it ended before Batman showed up to haul her to jail.
You should just set your money on fire
I was excited to read this book until I found out I was a deplorable,misogynistic, homophobic,islamaphobic,racist. I thought I was an American that loved my country. This book is a huge disappointment, much like HRC herself. I’m pretty sure my intelligence dropped slightly just from having considered reading it.
It Takes A Village Idiot to Elect A Clinton
My Kindle seems to have developed Parkinsonian pneumonia after down loading this (alleged) book. I should have bought the hard copy edition. My cousin in Venezuela says there is a toilet paper shortage and this could have been shipped to him. Any way, this is the story of a harridan who sits upon the right hand of Satan and constantly does evil because she loves it.
I tried to read this but...
I tried to read this but came down with a cold, that turned into a cough, that turned into allergies, that turned into heat stroke. After collapsing in 74 degree heat I came down with non contagious pneumonia and decided instead to play with small children.
The printers must have left out the section on the murder of Vince Foster. And just where was the Whitewater chapter?
I doubt the vile woman lifted a finger to produce this tripe.
Saw a copy of it in the Loo. All the pages still present so I assume it is utterly useless. Buy a Sears Catalog.
Health Warning!
Pre-ordered an autographed copy but had to return it after this week’s announcement as I was worried it was contaminated with pneumonia bacteria. I didn’t want to end up exposed to the illness like her grandkids in Chelsea’s apartment she was playing with on 9/11 after she collapsed, or the little girl she was hugging in the street afterwards. Thought about ordering the Kindle version but I thought it might open my device up to being hacked by communist countries. I wasn’t too surprised to see Tim Kaine on the front cover giving the traditional National Socialist salute, I felt it fitting. Strongly recommended for those who believe the USA isn’t anything special and should be more like the peaceful utopias of North Korea, Iran, or Cuba.
What a ShitBag
Worst book in history, this one belongs in the burn bag with her 30,000 deleted emails.
Wiped Me Out
My SJW GF forgot to take her copy of “Strangers Together” with her yesterday morning so I took it into the john for something to read. Romance novels aren’t my genre of choice but when yer pinchin’ a loaf, who cares? It was awright. But then I noticed I was out of TP so I said what the heck and used the pages I read. Bad move on my part. I got a bad rash where the sun don’t shine which started me coughing uncontrollably. I put on a pair of welding goggles and immediately felt better. My GF came back to get her book and I asked her why the guy on the front cover is doing the “Seig Heil!” routine. She got really mad so I gave her a cookie and she went away.
Useful Tips for Rare Pepes
I downloaded a copy of this book to an unsecured Kindle in my basement, hoping to learn how to set up my own foundation and rake in billions. However, right in the first chapter the book told me that I should smash my Kindle with a hammer after using BleachBit on it, just in case Jeff Bezos uses the device to hack an FBI investigation into my unorthodox yoga practices. This seemed compelling, so I did as I was told, and feel better about myself as a result. I can highly recommend this book, or at least the part of it I read before the BleachBit and the hammer got to it.
I was very disappointed!
Was mostly about lies, nothing about her degrading the women that Bill took advantage of. I was very disappointed!
One Star
I just threw it out in the basket with the rest of the deplorables...
Incomplete order
I asked them to email it to me- all I got were pictures of yoga poses and some stuff about how ugly the bridesmaids were, and how horrible the new mother-in-law is.The remaining 50,000 pages were all blacked out.
Five Stars
I found this book to be absolutely wonderful. Yours truly, Lucifer.
Poorly written crime novel
Was expecting an epic crime thriller from one of americas most elusive criminals but i felt the book lacked a sense of detail when covering these matters
Bought book, Amazon sent washcloth
After I bought the electronic version, I got a mysterious washcloth in the mail. The next time I started up my Kindle, everything was wiped clean except “Stronger Together.” I had 23 books on Yoga! All gone! Yoga for Dummies. Poses for Political Candidates. Downward Dog and Other Exercises with Bill. Look, Jeff. I know you own the Washington Post now, and I’ve heard stories of disappearing data, but this is ridiculous. I’m returning the washcloth, because I’m afraid that dang thing will wipe my home server! Thanks in advance. I originally gave this book one star, but having my Kindle wiped clean changed my perspective: I now support the authoring team of Clinton Kaine without reservation, and look forward to buying all their future products, literary or otherwise. (Can I please get all my yoga books back now?)
1 star or 5 star what difference does it make?!
I was looking for a good crime/conspiracy/narcissistic/compulsive lying/corrupt/crooked/assassination/pay-for-play bathroom read. And boy did this hit the nail right on Seth Rich’s head. From the moment I first opened the book it felt like a warm wet fart right in my face, and I was hooked immediately. I was reluctant thinking it would all be about weddings and yoga, but boy was I wrong. I even turned down a night out on the town with my boy Bill dicking bimbos. To stay home and read. This one is one of those you just can’t put down fast enough.
Another reason to put Hillary in prison
I found a copy of this book laying on a table in the local Starbucks. I should have known from the smeared icing on the cover that it was not an instant classic. I sat down at the table with my mocha venti and start reading. I haven’t read a book this bad since “30-Minute Meals” by Jeffrey Dahmer. Hillary can add this book to her ever-growing list of crimes. First off, this book should be in the science-fiction section. Just the same empty rhetoric we always hear from these lying politicians. This book definitely will not help her in the polls. Look for the Hillary/Huma sex tape coming soon as a last-ditch effort to win the election.
Deplorable
Deplorable. Was waiting for a confession for her crimes; Benghazi, email-gate, lying to the American people, pay-for-play as Sec of State, cover ups for Bill the rapist, lies about being under sniper fire in Bosnia, saying she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary (born before he climbed Mt Everest), fired from watergate hearings for being an unethical and dishonest attorney, whitewater scandal, cattle gate insider information, file gate, china gate, travel gate, clinton foundation corruption, profiteering from Haiti disaster relief fund, crony capitalism with wall street, IRS targeting of political enemies, pardon gate, clinton body count (40+ associates dead, and counting).
Arf Arf Arf
I can smell her dying from here. Setting the book on fire does not help cover the stench.
Turd Sandwich
Reading this was like eating a Turd Sandwich. I wish there were more stories in it about Bill boning Bimbos but I guess they are saving those for his memoirs. It deserves less than 1 star but that wasn’t an option.
As good as you would expect
I got this book, today, but most of the pages were missing or heavily redacted.
The only thing that would have made this book worse would have been Hillary writing it herself
Really should have been called Sicker Together. The only thing that would have made this book worse would have been Hillary writing it herself, rather than whatever intern flunkie they dumped the task on.
Best Crime Novel Ever
I love the part where Hillary and her little buddy, Timmy meet. It’s so fun to see how she teaches him how to get away with everything from financial crimes to murder. My favorite part though is where Hillary’s husband, Slick Willy, retires from being POTUS and opens a library/massage parlor. If you want to know how to run a crime syndicate and give away all of America’s secrets, then thus is the book for you!
Sorry, just plain NO
Pages not big enough to wrap fish in
One Star
Everything this woman touches turns to dog crap, the reveiws are way better than the book just read those.
Take the 5 spot..
My gram gave me this book for my birthday.....I would have rather got my normal check for $5.
I suspect she only bought the book because it came with a free pocket catheter
Hillary Don’t Read These Comments..
I think these comments are going to kill her quicker than her “Pneumonia” will. I’m sure the book was written by someone else and every line was poll-tested. The Clintons are so yesterday.
Gave me Pneumonia
The chapter where Hillbilly talks about her battle with Parkinson’s Disease was difficult to read. Difficult because it was missing from the book.
Spoiler alert—the title refers to her technique of getting into vans.
I’d write a bad review but I don’t want to die in a car crash or commit suicide by shooting myself in the head twice

Is that Pepe in the photo, trolling Hillary way back in the ‘90s? Oh, it is just a woman in a green top. :-)

Hillary creates messes in everything she touches. She is like a bull in a china shop.

The first big scandal happened in Arkansas, Hillary directly intervened to keep open insolvent Madison Guaranty. It cost the taxpayers 58 mil.

This was the Rose Law Firm billing records scandal. They hid documents that were under subpoena. The records finally magically appeared on the residence floor of the WH after the statute of limitations has run.

They see, they know. It's all they talk about, all they think about. They are obsessed with doing evil, it's like a drug to them. Corruption drips out of every pore, and they're proud of it.

She gets interviewed in the South? She has a southern accent.

She has a speech for black women? Oh, black girl magic, big time..!

She gets interviewed by Jews? Her grandmother remarried to a Jew, Hillary feels Jewish.

She’s a Chicagoan elected Senator of New York? Why of COURSE she was always a Yankees fan.

She gets interviewed by Hip-Hop black radio station? She ALWAYS carries hot-sauce in her purse, like the famous Beyonce song mentioning hot-sauce.

War-torn area? Oh, she knows all too well, as she once had to doge sniper fire.

She’s in New Zealand? She was named after Sir Edmund Hillary

9-11 remembrance? She was so scared cuz Chelsea was jogging a block from the WTC and only happened to duck into a Starbucks for coffee.

SHE’S ANYTHING, THEREFORE SHE’S NOTHING.

I had a very enjoyable time reading those reviews on Amazon.

Once you get through the FReeper reviews, however, there are a handful of people who seem to have actually read the book. They give it 5 stars, say it’s a great voting guide, full of detailed policy (e.g. how Hillary is going to install 500,000 solar panels). In other words, the positive reviewers were all enthusiastic about Hillary being elected to be top sugar daddy. I have the impression that the book is not about policy proposals at all, but about laundry lists of utopian leftist schemes. Admittedly, I am not about to read her (ghostwritten) tripe to find out.
