Hillary Clinton Controversy

The Hillary Clinton campaign for president in 2016 has been plagued by conspiracy theories that are used as attacks by Donald Trump supporters. For decades the Clinton family has been in the eyes of the public. Ever since some of the mysterious aspects of Bill Clinton’s presidency have come forward, the Clintons are never far from a conspiracy theory. Though some of these theories may be a little hard to believe, in most cases there is strong information to support these claims. There are different aspects of the Clinton’s lives that conspiracy theorists like to target. Some examples are the Clinton body counts, or the people supposedly killed by the Clinton’s, theories on the health of Hillary, and The Reptilian Elite. There are all kinds

In the words of the 36th President, Lyndon Johnson, “A President’s hardest task is not to do what is right, but to know what is right.” In the case of Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky, he did not know what was right and in turn, did not do what was right. Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton carried on a behind the scenes sexual relationship that lasted two years during Clinton’s time in the white house, this relationship led to a federal investigation into the Clinton Presidency and later led to Bill being impeached. After his impeachment trial, Clinton was wrongly acquitted. Even though Bill Clinton was a good President, he should have been convicted for lying about his relationship

The Whitewater Scandal was a fraudulent land scheme involving the former Governor of Arkansas, William Jefferson Bill Clinton and his wife Hilary Rodham Clinton who partner with Susan and Jim McDougal to purchased land worth $203,000 with the intention of building vacation homes. It was called the Whitewater Development Corp. In 1982, their venture unfortunately failed and Clinton brought a small saving and loans association: Madison Guaranty. This eventually raised suspicions, which led federal regulators to question Madison Guaranty’s financial stability and lending practices. It is important to remember the alleged wrongdoing all occurred before Clinton was elected president in 1992, but the investigation continued into the presidents’ second term in office in 1996. Even though the Whitewater Development failed financially, neither President Clinton nor Hilary Clinton were able to pocket any profit. Once Bill Clinton announced that he was running for president, the national media began investigating Clinton (Gormley, Ken). The national media discovered that the Whitewater Development associated the Clintons in dealings that were questionable to the extent of corruption through illegal loans. Further investigation revealed that Clinton was also abusing his powers in the office by pressuring women to interact in sexual activities with him. From the Republicans perspective, the impeachment of Clinton exacerbated the

In 1999, for the second time in American history, the President of the United States was impeached. For those who don’t know, impeachment means to bring a government official to trial over accusations of illegal or shameful activity. President William Jefferson Clinton, more commonly known as Bill Clinton, took office in 1992 as a leader who had promised to bring a more honest and better government to the American people. This Democratic politician would have his two terms in office defined by self-inflicted shameful events. Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky would go down as one of the most talked about scandals known to man.

Hilary Clinton has been called many slanderous things: controversial, a cheater, and a corrupt emailer . However, American voters should take into consideration her potential as a grandiloquent leader. Hilary Clinton has several years of political experience due to her being the first lady during her husband’s 1992 presidential run . In addition to this, she has served as the United States’ Secretary of State from 2009-2013 , Arkansas First Lady , and as the United States Senator for New York from 2001 to 2009 . Her political influence can be compared to numerous female political figures such as Madeleine Albright , the first woman to be appointed as the United States Secretary of State or even “the Iron Lady”, Margaret Thatcher, who was Britain’s

There is not much on Benghazi that has been found on her emails. Clinton sent an email to journalist, Sidney Blumenthal, telling him that the siege was the work of members of a Libyan terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia, who have ties to al-Qaida (Voorhees). Other emails show Cheryl Mills, an aid to the Clintons for decades, telling spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, to stop answering questions about the status of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens during the attack (Herridge). So even though there is secrecy around the Secretary of State, it was nothing that contributed to a conspiracy about purposefully allowing the attack on Benghazi to “commence with a blind

One of the most known scandals in U.S. government history was the bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal. Lewinsky was an intern for the white house who graduated from Lewis and Clark College. After serving as an intern she was hired as an employee for the White House Office of Legislative Affairs. Clinton began a personal relationship with her shortly after she received the job in legislative affairs. Lewinsky told her department co worker, Linda Tripp, who recorded their phone call conversations. The Clinton and Lewinsky scandal was brought to light in 1998. Once the scandal is brought to light, Lewinsky says she had sexual encounters with President

The Benghazi attacks are a notable attack on Hillary Clinton. This incident was heated and intensified after false media reports, such as Fox News, sparked negative outrageous comments against the government. Before, during, and after the attack, Clinton herself never personally denied any requests for additional security in Benghazi. Clinton was also active and engaged on the night of the attacks and in subsequent days. She did not fail to swiftly respond to the terroristic attacks on the embassy and at the same time consulted top levels of government. This attack, based upon many years ago continues to be a common assault on Clinton. Why so? Because Hillary Clinton has quite a resume, with her tenure as Secretary of State, senator, First

While Starr did his investigation he had to turn evidence over to Congress. In a journal by Tod Lindberg, he mentions that, “The law requires the independent counsel to forward to Congress evidence of impeachable offenses by the president or other officials” (5). Clinton is solely to blame for the impeachment process to even have even been started. His actions caught up with him after time passed. Sitting as the President of the United States did not help cover his actions up at all either. Clinton, like many Presidents, was often talked about and followed by the media. Although, independent counsel Starr’s handling of the matter was slightly dramatic of how he presented information and did not appear to keep the matter quiet. Early in her paper Karen Popp brings up that the President was definitely a part of this whole ordeal. She goes on to say that “There can be no doubt that President Clinton’s reckless and careless personal conduct with Monica Lewinsky contributed to the events of 1998 and 1999” (224). This just goes to show that Clinton had a big hand in the entire issue. If he would not have participated in any affairs or sexual encounters, he would not have faced such a severe

Hillary Clinton is a criminal that should rot in prison.This woman put the national security at risk intentionally. Nonetheless violation of federal law, all intent aside. As former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton held responsibilities with foreign policy. Four Americans were murdered due on her watch, without an increase in their security or a send for rescue. She improperly handled classified material on a private email server. The Clinton Foundation was a get rich vessel which companies donated then lobbied the State Department with lobbyists connected to the Clintons. She cries incompetence for these things. Hillary Clinton belongs in prison because she violated the law and put lives of Americans in

The Monica Lewinsky case Monica Lewinsky’s sexual relationship with Bill Clinton showed America that no matter how high up you are in the government one can still make an average man’s mistakes. Monica Lewinsky was an intern at the white House at the White House when she began the sexual relationship with Clinton. Soon after changing jobs to working at the pentagon, Lewinsky’s secret conversations with Clinton were secretly recorded by an ex friend of Lewinsky. “Lewinsky, then at age 24, was befriended by a coworker, Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded telephone conversations about Lewinsky’s affair with Clinton” (“Monica Lewinsky” 2). The tapes were then sent to Kenneth Starr who was investigating the Clintons.

While it is too early to accurately judge the presidency of Bill Clinton, most would agree that he was successful in office. He was the first democrat to successfully be reelected since Franklin Roosevelt. Yet, when a sufficient amount of time has passed and historians attempt to categorize and analyze Bill Clinton’s presidency, his legacy will ultimately be tied to scandal. The numerous scandals that Clinton faced – and survived –were an important aspect of the Clinton presidency. On one hand, they showed the well-documented weakness of Clinton’s personal character – his infidelities, his evasiveness, and his lack of integrity. Yet, Clinton’s ability to survive these scandals are a true testament how politically cunning and brilliant the man was.

            In March 2015, another scandal emerged, involving accusations that Clinton had used a private email server as Secretary of State to conduct official business.

Hillary Clinton used her personal email account from her home computer to conduct government business when she was in office as the secretary of state instead of her government issued email account where the CIA would have her vetted emails before pressing send to make sure classified information was sent accordingly, Authorities are stating that Mrs. Clinton was in violation of National Security and counterintelligence information that could provide anyone looking to find confidential information and use it against the United States. None of Mrs. Clinton team bother to preserve her emails on the department servers during her four year tenure as Secretary of state. However Hillary has given orders to her team to turn over her email server and

President Clinton was a man entangled in his own ruins. He went from one lie to another and eventually was so caught up in them, that he was trapped. These lies brought on his downfall as a great leader. He was flawed like everyone, yet being a representative of the people, you need to keep these flaws hidden so that weakness is not shown. His failings were revealed to the whole world and his pride and integrity fell with them. The world no longer saw a leader, but a broken man. This was his ultimate failure. However, another big failure Clinton had while in office was his failure to
