Hillary Clinton Email Scandal

As President Clinton’s second term came to an end his time in office would be seen as one of the most disgraceful and embarrassing presidencies in American history. For only the second time in presidential history the United States of America had impeached their president, and for the first time in history the president went to court for sexual allegations. At the end of the trial Clinton had only one thing to say, “I am profoundly

On August 17, 1998, exactly one year after making the statement above, President Bill Clinton prepared to deliver a speech concerning a scandal that had gripped the nation for months. It is needless to say that this was an important moment during the Clinton administration. After accusations of sexual harassment, Clinton addressed the nation and admitted to having a relationship with Monica Lewinsky. In this critical speech Clinton set out to admit to wrong-doings, provide a few reasons for his

According to Ann Coulter (2002), Clinton’s entire presidency was just a game to him and he made a mockery of the American people (p. 28). Margaret O’Brien Steinfels (1999) believed that Clinton was a horrible excuse for a political leader and an even worse moral leader due to his mistrust (para. 6). Many Americans shared these feelings and were left feeling betrayed after they supported President Clinton. It certainly affected the way they would choose their presidents from there on. Daniel Cohen (2000) concluded that the Clinton Presidency would permanently change the way Americans viewed their political leaders as well (p. 10). Clinton not only discredited his position as president by having a sex scandal blow up but he might have fooled Americans with his deceitful, self-serving actions. These actions certainly constituted an impeachment and left doubts with the people he

Between 2009 and 2013 she sent 62,320 emails. Over half of these emails contained information that was work-related. This equates to 21.5 work-related emails per day (Keneally). Although most of these emails contain little information of importance, 65 are being withheld by the government because they include classified information (Atlantic). While this may seem like a trivial fact, it is quite the opposite. In fact, Hillary’s actions could potentially break four federal laws. The first is the Federal Records Act, which requires agencies to keep their official communications, including work-related emails. Knowingly deleting emails, the same way Hillary did, can result in a fine or one year in prison. The second law is the Freedom of Information Act, which ensures public access to agency records and information. This information is supposed to be presented in a timely manner. However, Mrs. Clinton only presented 55,000 pages of her emails that she declared “relevant”. Of course, if she had something to hide in those emails, she would not have made those public. How then do we trust that she was honest in the bring forth of these documents? The third law are the regulations regarding the National Archives. These regulations require information to be readily found when they are needed (NPR). When Hillary was first questioned about her private server, she declared that there were no classified emails

Madame Clinton was question about her part on Benghazi, and her emails. She was careless, but nothing was sent classified in order for her to be further questioned or to be taken in. The FBI director James Comey stated “ Hillary Clintons emails were not properly marked Classified, but a small number of emails bore the markings of possibly being classified” thus making them open it even more, but they came to the conclusion of she being careless, but she didn't do anything severe. I understand why so many people in the States may or may not like Madame Clinton, but we have to understand no one is perfect, and in the political world things can and will get tough, you just need to know how to act in those

Amongst popular political discourse, there has been increasing debate over the legitimacy of Hillary Clinton’s eligibility as the Democratic presidential candidate to run and become, through the process of the electoral college, acting Commander-In-Chief representing the United States of America. There is much challenge to be found in investigating the controversy, as there is contention to if there is grounds to the claims pertaining to Clinton’s culpability. The purpose of this investigative case study is to display various media perspectives, some American and one British, to see if there is any reason to inquire further on Hillary Clinton’s perceived lapse in ethics and try to see and find if there is any substantial evidence that exists

According to the Detroit Free Press, Jesse Jackson, speaking at President Gerald Ford’s old school, Jesse Jackson confronted Obama to pardon Hillary just like Ford did for Nixon. “It would be a monumental moral mistake to pursue the indictment of Hillary Clinton," Jackson said. He said putting aside the pardon could help “heal the nation,” like Ford's pardon of Nixon did. "Hillary Clinton has not been tried, but there are those who want to drag her for the next three years. It will not stop until they find a reason to put her in jail. That would be a travesty." There is already many reasons why Hillary should be going to jail. In another article from Breitbart News, a list is shown for the reasons Hillary Clinton should already be in jail. While Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, she used an illegal and personal email server for sharing confidential documents, negotiating national security and breaking federal law. Hillary Clinton also lied about the emails to the American people. Clinton should not be able to get away with responsibility for the deaths of four Americans at the US embassy outpost at Benghazi on September 11, 2012, through her rejection of the increased security needed by the Americans in Benghazi and her defiance to send military forces to rescue the Americans who were under attack. The Clinton emails and messages shown by Wikileaks showed Clinton accepting military arms going to well known jihadist groups in the Middle East. The list can go on, but even one of these crimes should be looked into. Jesse Jackson said that Trump should be blamed for the environment of fear, no Trump shouldn’t be blamed for anything but telling the truth to the American people, which people should fear, because the truth is scary sometimes, but we have been lied to for too long.

As I write this book, Democratic and Republican candidates are getting in position to run for the President of the United States in 2016. Hillary Clinton was the first Democrat to throw her hat in the ring and right away the Republican Party began attacking her for using her personal email and business email together.

The infamous Watergate Scandal continued from 1972 to 1974 effected American politics immensely. Though, Richard Nixon resigned and was removed from the government in all, the scandal shaped a political reform era and formed a distrust between Americans and their government. Similarly, several years later, in 2016, a Presidential candidate was accused of using a private email server for official interactions while she was Secretary of State rather than the Official State Department email accounts on the federal servers, causing massive controversy throughout the entire election. Have the governments standards changed since the Watergate Scandal or is the ordeal with Hillary Clinton’s emails a completely different situation?

Strong ethics are the core of a positive workplace culture. Within the last two decades the United States has been rocked by political, corporate, and technology scandals. The most famous political scandal within the last two decades was the Monica Lewinsky scandal with the former 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton. This scandal was a serious event that ultimately led to the House trying to impeach the President. The House felt like the President was not being truthfully about the affair with Ms. Lewinsky, and as the President of the United States there are certain standards the one is held up to, by taking the Oath of Office. Luckily for President Bill Clinton, he was tried and acquitted from lack of guilty verdicts. The lack

For the past few centuries, political scandals have become a permanent fixture in US politics. Most recently, when we think of scandals in American politics the 1998 Clinton-Lewinsky Affair comes to mind. Though unlike its predecessors this scandal was not one of constitutional crises such as Nixon’s Watergate in the 1970s, but it instead concerned the extramarital affairs of the then incumbent president, William J. Clinton. Bill Clinton, as he is more commonly known by, was elected as the 42nd US President in 1993 and served the maximum two terms in office, ending in 2001. Under Clinton the American economy benefited greatly and financial stability became more of a reality for many. However Clinton’s presidential legacy is also marked by his affair with Monica Lewinsky and his impeachment. He had become the second sitting president in history to be impeached by the House of Representatives. The Lewinsky affair shocked the public and the media along with the right wing were keen to see Clintons demise. Washington became even more vicious as political opponents of the President pursed him to no extent. Though officially he could not be charged for having an affair, he could be held accountable for lying under oath and misleading the jury during a trial. Clinton’s adulterous affair split opinions and became a talking point for all. Many accounts were written about the Lewinsky affair, all with differing viewpoints on the

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton chose to create a personal email to send and receive confidential emails during her time as Secretary of State. Included in these thousands of "personal" emails as confidential information about the 201 Benghazi terrorist attack. Also enclosed in these emails it was proved that Clinton told her family one thing(truth?) and the American public a different story. So what is the truth in her email scandal?

March 2015, presidential Candidate and former Secretary of state Hillary Clinton, email account was leaked by Romanian hacker known as Guccifer, who revealed private emails sent or received to Clinton by aid advisor Sidney Blumenthal. Later in March Clinton was accused for her using a private email server for official business relations and deleting about 32,000 emails that were personal. Her actions violated the State Department policies and Federal regulations regarding the handling of private email accounts and the State Department record keeping system. FBI is now investigating Clinton’s private server including her thumb drives.

On the other hand, Hillary Clinton, the US democratic nominee, is a political figure who has recently been criticized for her alleged corruption, lies and most recently her e-mail

Believe it or not, Clinton’s actions were allowed as she explained in her interview with the Associated Press. According to Time Magazine, If Hillary Clinton knew that she was handling classified information through her personal email, then she will be in trouble. On the other hand, if she had no idea it was classified information, then she is in the clear. One of Hillary Clinton’s spokesperson claimed that because the material was not specifically marked, it could not be seen as classified. Thus, making Clinton oblivious to the fact that anything was classified. According to an article on BigStory, Clinton refused to apologize for her actions due to the fact that she believed they were legal. She said, and I quote, “What I did was allowed. It was allowed by the State Department. I did not send or receive any information marked classified.” She goes on to say that she takes handling classified materials very seriously and believe she did so in this case. If Hillary is innocent and truly did not know that certain emails were classified, then she did not break any laws. The emails were not marked which means she could not have known what was classified and what was not. The scandal will not doom her presidency because she did not break any
