Hillary Clinton Scandal Analysis

She switched her stance when the American people did according to the statistics on Gallup. In 2013, sixty-six percent of the American population was in favor of gay marriage (McCarthy). Relatively, this is a parallel example of Hillary’s deception she has consistently shown in her campaign and her entire political career. America deserves a president that has steady views and does not switch when the majority calls for it or when it benefits her campaign economically. According to an article by Garrett Griffin, Hillary has been endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign, the most prominent LGBTQ civil rights organization in the United States (Griffin). What this endorsement appears to be is simply political gain for Hillary and her campaign. …show more content…
An extremely famous incident is Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinski. Currently in the news is possibly one of the most serious and most controversial scandal of Hillary Clinton’s entire political career, her use of a private email server to send classified information.

The official Hillary Clinton website claims she did not want to carry around two devices, one for work and one for personal use. Secretary Clinton would not have been responsible for keeping track of both devices, as that is the job of her aides (Kessler).
Hillary has also claimed that even though she used an email not connected to the State department, most of her emails were recorded in the system because she sent a majority of them to members of the State department who had the “state.gov” address. This was proven false because the system depended on individuals to manually record their emails up until February of 2015, she was in office as Secretary of State between 2009 and 2013, and the State Department individuals would not have known that Secretary Clinton did not keep record of her emails, sent or received. She also did not acknowledge the fact that she emailed officials not part of the State Department who would have no log of her messages in the department. This would seem troublesome when the State Department asked for the former Secretary of State for all of her emails, but she graciously gives up 55,00 emails, not including the ones she deemed as personal that were deleted earlier. Hillary submitted these boasting that she was the first of all of the Secretary’s to publish

    Olivia Plunkett Mr. Reader Impeachment 27 April 2015 After the Watergate scandal, former President Nixon was brought up on impeachment charges due to his involvement in the scandal. Many citizens called for the removal of Nixon from office, and he was brought up on impeachment charges, but resigned before there were any trials. According to the Constitution, a president “shall be removed from office for, and on conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Under these terms, I believe that the accusations against President Nixon were impeachable crimes due to not having the interest of the citizens in full mind.…

    Clinton's presidency was a seemingly long hard road. During his second term as President, He was impeached due to charges of lying under oath to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. However, the real underlying reason for the impeachment was Clinton’s denial of the Lewinsky Affair. The public opinion of the Lewinsky Affair allowed the Republican party to create a political strategy to use against Clinton. “Contending that Clinton had committed perjury, Republican leaders made the affair the centerpiece of their quest to defeat Democrats in the 1998 congressional elections” (Jansson, 2012,p.398).…

    This was the woman that Bill Clinton had an affair with during his presidency. This woman had recorded their phone sex calls, recall files that were on the desk in his office, recall important phone conversations he was having, and breaking his commitment with the first lady.

Bill Clinton had risked our national security for some fun time with a woman when he should be working.

The Clinton’s have been involved in many conspicuous affairs including White Water and the Ives/Henry case.
