Little Is Off Limits as Donald Trump Plans Attacks on Hillary Clinton
New York Times ^ | 5/16/16 | Patrick Healy

Posted on 05/16/2016 7:54:23 AM PDT by Sybeck1

Donald J. Trump plans to throw Bill Clinton’s infidelities in Hillary Clinton’s face on live television during the presidential debates this fall, questioning whether she enabled his behavior and sought to discredit the women involved. Mr. Trump will try to hold her accountable for security lapses at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and for the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens there. And he intends to portray Mrs. Clinton as fundamentally corrupt, invoking everything from her cattle futures trades in the late 1970s to the federal investigation into her email practices as secretary of state. Drawing on psychological warfare tactics that Mr. Trump used to defeat “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz, “Little Marco” Rubio and “Low-Energy” Jeb Bush in the Republican primaries, the Trump campaign is mapping out character attacks on the Clintons to try to increase their negative poll ratings and bait them into making political mistakes, according to interviews with Mr. Trump and his advisers.

We can provide these questions re Clintoon and her rapist husband:

Why Bill Clinton’s 26 Trips on the Lolita Express Child Rape Jet Matter

FrontPage Magazine ^ | May 15, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield
Posted on 5/16/2016, 8:42:37 AM by george76

We don’t know what Bill Clinton did or didn’t do in company with Jeffrey Epstein. But we certainly know what Epstein did and, almost as outrageously, what he got away with doing.

Some of the most shocking allegations against Epstein surfaced only after the conclusion of an FBI probe, in civil suits brought by his victims: for example, the claim that three 12-year-old French girls were delivered to him as a birthday present.

...

Sex crimes of the kind Roberts alleges took place typically carry a term of 10 to 20 years in federal prison. Yet when all was said and done, Epstein served his scant year-plus-one-month in a private wing of the Palm Beach jail and was granted a 16-hour-per-day free pass to leave the premises for work.

In short, Epstein was never actually in jail. During his “house arrest,” he flew around the country on his jets from his New York City place to his private island. At least one of Epstein’s victims claimed to have met Bill Clinton. And it turns out that Bill Clinton was a much more regular passenger on the Lolita Express.

...

Clinton’s presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more than double

...

It doesn’t help that the Democratic establishment seems to have played a role in getting Epstein a pass on child rape, that Bill Clinton already had rape accusations in his past or that the Clintons had become notorious for their willingness to do favors for criminals in exchange for money.

Either way we’ve come a long way from Gary Hart being bounced for “Monkey Business” to Bill Clinton flying around on a child rapist’s plane without anyone in the media seeming to care much about it.

I don’t understand this emphasis on “decades of experience and qualifications” stuff. What good does “decades of experience and qualifications” do if you’re always screwing up? People get fired for screwing up, despite “decades of experience and qualifications.”

Why doesn’t some reporter bring up results, like management by results? (Guess because the results of Hillary’s “management” are always some gigantic debacle.)

Exactly because neither Hillary nor her supporters can bring up her decades long result.

Therefore her qualification is she’s in public’s eyes for decades, plenty of titles, lots of speeches, and that’s enough for them. Like a participatory trophy is good enough for a POTUS position.

Thanks for brining this up, I need to correct my spelling in #57 - “Guffaw, guffaw, ....”

When Cruz announced, in his piercing, nasal voice, that Bill Clinton’s rapes, sodomy, etc., and Hillary’s enabling terror activities, were “off the table,” he unmasked himself as an establishment sock puppet. He was announcing that he intended to lose, like Bush 41, Dole, McCain, and Romney.

Bill Clinton Caught In ‘Epic Corruption’ Scandal Involving His Alleged Mistress!

Radaronline.com ^ | Posted on May 14, 2016 @ 10:22AM | By Sharon Churcher

Posted on 5/16/2016, 10:19:51 AM by b4its2late

‘It is just too much to ignore,’ blasts Washington insider of Hillary’s husband.

It’s Bill Clinton’s most outrageous sex scandal yet! Anti-corruption campaigners are demanding a fraud investigation into nearly $3 million in grants arranged by his charity and the federal government to a company co-owned by a beautiful divorcee identified by RadarOnline.com as his alleged “on-off” secret mistress.

The ex-President’s Clinton Global Initiative — run by the charitable foundation he heads with presidential hopeful Hillary and their daughter Chelsea — pledged a staggering $2 million to an obscure Nebraska private company, Energy Pioneer Solutions.

The company’s co-owners notably include Julie Tauber McMahon, a blond stunner with whom Bill was reportedly spotted sneaking around with in his hometown of Chappaqua, New York, durring Hillary’s first White House campaign.

Two other Clinton pals — the Democratic National Committee’s treasurer, Andrew Tobias, and Mark Weiner, who makes souvenirs for Hillary’s campaigns — also own a stake in the firm. Besides potentially profiting from the grants to Energy Pioneer Solutions, Radar has learned they made six-figure tax-deductible donations to the Clinton charity!

About $500,000 of the $3 million was pledged by another shapely blond, Kim Samuel, a Canadian steel and racing heiress. Bill, 69, additionally arranged in 2010 for $812,000 of taxpayers’ money to be given to the company by the Energy Department.

Samuel’s donation initially was logged in a database on the Global Initiative’s website. But the entry was removed a few months later. The reason reportedly was “to avoid calling attention to Mr. Clinton’s friendship” with his alleged mistress, McMahon, and to protect his charity’s reputation.

A Washington group that monitors political corruption, Judicial Watch, told Radar the entire situation stinks! The group’s president, Tom Fitton, explained: “Typically, when an entity deletes records like this, it is an indication of fraud.”

“The second issue is that this contribution was arranged by the charity to a company owned by friends and donors,” noted Fitton. “It raises the question of what the purpose was. Was it to take care of a Clinton ‘friend’ who published reports say was tied to him in a relationship? And was taxpayer money also used to take care of donors and this ‘friend’?”

“Reportedly there already is a criminal investigation into the Clinton Foundation as well as Hillary’s emails,” continued Fitton. “I think she’ll be prosecuted. It is just too much to ignore – classified emails on her private server, the contributions to the foundation by companies with business before her at the State Department and now this shell game with the charity. It’s epic corruption.”

A family who lived near McMahon’s mansion in the Clintons’ hometown of Chappaqua saw Bill pull up to her driveway in 2008, flanked by Secret Service SUVs.

McMahon is known as “Energizer” to Bill’s protection agents, according to former Wall Street Journal reporter Ronald Kessler’s tell-all book, The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal Hidden Lives of the Presidents.

Though McMahon denied having a sexual relationship with Bill, an insider revealed in 2011 that “it became a running joke in the family.” The same source, who passed a polygraph test, also noted, “If Clinton traveled to London, we’d learn Julie was also visiting London. When Clinton went to France, we’d discover Julie was also in France.”

Good news. This will be an entirely different campaign that what McCain, Romney and what Cruz would have run. Remember Ted said that Bill was off limits.

Well, considering that Carlos Slim lent the NYT 250 million on what lenders commonly refer to as a “Mickey Finn” a couple of years ago, I wouldn’t go after Slim either....LOL!

I doubt it, they will allow here to play the sexist card, and say this is why we can’t have a person in the WH who verbally abuses people etc.

Then he will say, are you denying any of what I say?

“The mistake in the Clinton impeachment in 1999, was that the Republicans went after him for private conduct”

It wasn’t private conduct.

Using the authority of your office to gain sexual favors from staff members is by definition sexual harassment in the workplace, the very issue for which he was being sued in federal court. He lied about this conduct to a federal judge in order to impede a civil rights lawsuit, and this was public conduct.

For this, Bill Clinton became the second president to be impeached.

It wasn't a "mistake" either; it was quite deliberate.

The fact that one has a private tryst in a public building, in a personal office in which one is entitled to be, does not elevate that tryst to a public act justifying impeachment.

The idea that the Government can define consensual conduct between adults as "sexual harassment," because of a Feminist theory that demonizes male advances, does not change the issue. (Now, do not get this wrong. When Bill Clinton exposed himself in a public setting, as an intended come on, he should have been arrested for lewd behavior, and taken into custody. That is not the Monica issue.)

But my point was really neither of those. The point of Abuse Of Power, was that Clinton should have been impeached for a very clear dereliction of his public duty; that his actions using his position of "Commander In Chief," to push an asexual agenda in the Military, at the expense of the effectiveness of that Military was indeed a grounds for impeachment. One many times more serious than simply yielding to temptation in private.)

It was most certainly a mistake if the purpose was to actually remove Clinton from office--which I thought was the intention. Impeaching him for the wrong reason clearly backfired, and resurrected the sinking level of support for the Clinton Democrats in 2000.

If you want to go after some body, it is well to pick their most vulnerable point, not something much of the public will not consider serious.

Let's be really clear about this. Donald Trump is the ONLY candidate who would have, and will go after Hillary in this fashion. Everyone else, including Ted Cruz, would pull punches.

That all being said...and I've said this for a while, I don't think Hillary will be the candidate. I think the poll numbers will tank and either Hillary chooses Sanders or Warren to try and increase the numbers but fails and withdraws due to health reasons. Warren/Sanders?

According to several leaked sources, she and Bill are planning to announce that Bill has a fatal disease. She will use that to insulate herself from criticism and claim that Trump is attacking a sick man who can no longer defend himself. She can then play the role of loyal wife, rather than her true self: child murderer (she had abortions), lesbian, liar, Marxist, pagan, and evil.
