Letter: Clinton scandals never-ending
In 1987, rumors of infidelity forced Democratic presidential hopeful Gary Hart to suspend his campaign due to media scrutiny. Imagine that.
However, in 1992, America elected a known serial sexual predator. In 2008, America elected someone about which we still know nothing, save the damage he’s done to this country.
In 2016, America may elect Hillary Clinton, a documented serial liar, as president, while myriad scandals including callous dereliction of duty as Secretary of State regarding Benghazi, wholesale disregard for the nation’s security through clandestine personal email servers, perjuring herself before Congress, and influence peddling through the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation, swirl around her.
New scandal disclosures are unearthed almost daily. The Associated Press reported that Hillary Clinton personally met with 85 of 150 of her top foundation donors totaling $154 million. The reason? Follow the money.
After having lied throughout her email server probe that all pertinent documents were released, the FBI has uncovered 15,000 additional ones. Her reply was “what’s a few more emails?” A further Teflon attempt to escape responsibility by blaming Colin Powell, former Secretary of State, for encouraging her to do it, has been debunked. She was already using her private server a year before the fabricated conversation.
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch has replaced the media in uncovering political chicanery and malfeasance on the left through the Freedom of Information Act.
Can America survive another four years of lies, endless scandals, judicial arrogance and fraudulent financial self enrichment?
