Inside Panama Paper Scandal

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

The Iran Contra affair is historically defined as the “Reagan administration scandal that involved the sale of arms to Iran in exchange for its efforts to secure the release of hostages in Lebanon and the redirection of the proceeds of those sales to the Nicaraguan Contras.” As the Nicaraguan counterrevolutionaries, known as the Contras, began their efforts to retaliate against the Socialist Sandinista Regime, American government forces stepped in to support the Contra cause in a hope to support the world-wide elimination of Communism. To understand the entire history of the scandal, many individuals, groups, policies, and deals must be researched and put together to tell the complete history of the Iran Contra affair.

The third piece of luggage labeled “Foreign Money to Clinton Foundation” represents the foreign donation controversy that arose over the last few years regarding the Clinton Foundation. The countries of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Brunei, and Algeria donated millions of dollars directly to the Clinton Foundation, which is prohibited (Chozick & Eder, par. 6). American political foundations are prohibited to receive financial donations from foreign nationals, which left the

Hilary went on to be highly involved with the presidential impeachment inquiry during the Watergate

When Clinton was running for president a women named Gennifer Flowers opened up to the media about a 12 year affair that Clinton and Flowers had. She told the media that she was given a job in the State House of Arkansas that she was unqualified for while Clinton was president. In a 60 Minutes interview, Clinton admitted to causing “pain” in his marriage but he also said “the allegations are false” (15). This shows Clinton’s “tendency to play with words and

The Iran-Contra Affair was an underground operation within the CIA that was interwoven between two foreign policy issues that were unlikely to connect had the players in the ordeal not utilized one to benefit the other.

First of all, there were many accusations made against the Clintons. “Back in 1978, when Bill Clinton was attorney general of Arkansas, he and Hillary partnered with James and Susan McDougal to purchase 220 acres of land in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas that would become the Whitewater Development Corporation. The real estate venture failed, costing the Clintons a reported $40,000 in

President Reagan was leading the Nation when it all happened. The scandal left many talking, not only the American people, but also other Nations worldwide. People were disappointed, other relieved, and well the sadistic ones thrilled. It might have been years ago, but the scandal is still fresh in some other people’s mind, especially the human activists in the USA who do not forget, but hold onto government scandal waiting for the right time to strike. Iran-Contra affair was one of the biggest American political scandals the country has ever experienced.

From April 2013 to March 2015, Clinton received $21,677,000 in “speaking fees” in addition to the $26,630,000 her husband received. This is from the woman who claimed to be “dead broke” when she left the White House in 2001. Hillary Clinton has been bought out by Wall Street, it’s just a proven fact. She made multiple speeches to Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, and UBS Wealth Management, all while making $225,000 per speech. On top of the huge amounts of money, she will not even release the transcripts of what she spoke about. Sound suspicious? She has also received donations for hundreds of thousands of dollars from health care companies, entertainment companies such as A&E, and religious organizations such as the Beth El Synagogue in Minneapolis. In addition, companies such as Bank of America, GE, the Xerox Corporation, Cisco, and the Gap Inc. have all given money to Clinton. Even eBay gave an honorarium of $315,000. The list just keeps going on. The Clinton Foundation, which is rumored to only donate approximately 10% of its income to charitable causes, has even received contributions from the Saudi Regime and Nigerian dictators. Clinton also hid a $2.35 million donation from the head of the Russian government's uranium company, violating the Memorandum of Understanding she signed with the

The Iran-Contra affair is one of the largest examples of what occurs when government communication breaks down. Within this communication breakdown, simple negligence over details or issues can create scandals that otherwise would not happen. This rocked the nation in the 1980s and is undoubtedly one of the largest scandals in American history. The Iran-Contra affair consists of two different situations that are linked simply by money.

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

The article “Hillary Clinton’s email controversy, explained,” by Eric Bradner addresses the controversy caused by the news of Hillary Clinton using a personal email which she connected to a private server instead of using her government email while serving as the secretary-of-state under Obama. This resulted in her having to turn in thousand of pages of print-outs of emails to the State Department. Clinton’s reasoning behind using her personal email was convenience, which can be seen as a legitimate reason, due to the fact that government-issues BlackBerrys can only hold one email address. However, her using of a personal email gave more control over which emails could be accessible to the public. Although most of her emails were mostly harmless, 125 out of 7,000 emails released this week were deemed retroactively classified. Clinton did not break any laws when she used her private email, as the laws not allowing usage of personal emails were not enacted until after Clinton had left the office. Hillary Clinton’s actions were not stated as illegal, because “...she didn’t ‘knowingly’ share classified

And it seems that Hillary has gained another piece that she has to scrape off with the e-mail debacle. If you've been living under a rock here's a brief summary of the dilemma. When Hillary was still Secretary of State she was told to use only a government server when dealing with emails for work, which can possibly contain highly classified information. So she decided to use a private email server instead. When she was found out she was asked to hand over the e-mails to be placed under investigation, she handed over about 30,000 emails while she also deleted 31,000 other emails due to them being personal. After being investigated by the FBI she wasn't charged with anything, but was deemed "extremely careless" by the FBI director. 22 emails were said to hold classified information, and now some experts say that there's a high possibility of her server being hacked. Now was she being just careless or was there a more sinister underbelly. Some people find it suspicious that over half of her emails were deemed that personal that they had to delete them before they could be investigated. Could she be hiding something that we don't know about? Hillary's main defense is that she never broke a specific law, and that other Secretaries have done the same thing. She has also said that she merely used the server out of convenience and that she regrets

A nameless entity, known as John Doe took the world for a spin when he leaked 11.5 million documents regarding various clients of a Panamanian Law Firm known as Mossack Fonseca, to Suddeutsche Zeitung, a German news agency1. This ‘leak’ incriminated numerous politicians, their relatives, leaders, celebrities, etc. This was made the world go into a worldwide question, of corruption, of illegality, of prosecution, of confusion, and mainly of distress. The situation now known as the Panama Papers crisis is one of great importance but is hard to dispute upon with no clear-cut entity to blame, but rather individuals from all over the globe to be tried for their actions.
