Hillary Clinton Corrupts

Superior Essays
Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of America’s most notorious and profound lawbreakers. The Clinton family has been monopolizing the ideology of, the already distrusted, political system. In light of her recent run for the presidency, I decided it would be best to shed some much needed light onto the subject of her past scandals, present, and inevitable future. As Louis Brandeis once said, “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.”

Bill Clinton decided that it would be best to fire everyone in the White House’s Travel Office and replace them with his elite Hollywood friends. This lead to heavy investigation and Mr. Clinton was forced to rehire everyone from the former office. Vince Foster was friends with the Clinton family. His death

National outrage occurred when President Clinton made his underqualified wife head of Health Care. After receiving this power, Hillary kept the Presidential Task Force on National Health Care Reform in secrecy. Her awful healthcare plan included gatekeepers, health alliances, higher taxes and restrictions on choosing doctors. This lead to chaos and a practical rebellion. The entire fiasco cost American taxpayers over $130 million dollars. To add fuel to that fire, Mrs. Clinton was fined $450,000 for dishonesty. Directly after this mess is when she announced the probability of an adopted child to make her seem like a better person. The Clinton Administration once requested nine-hundred FBI background checks on republican officials. It was stated that Mrs. Clinton wanted the names for her “enemies list.” This conspiracy lead to three different investigations. When asked to testify, the White House Office Personnel Security Director refused to. Since he would not testify against the Clinton family he was forced to resign. When Hillary was asked about it and said that she was guiltless, The New York Times referred to her as a “congenital …show more content…
Americans can only give up to $2,300 to candidates. However, there is absolutely no limit on donations for foundations. Foreign donations to her foundation increased by about 70% when she ran in 2008. After Hillary’s failed run for the presidency, newly President Barack Obama decided to nominate her for Secretary of State. As of 2014, the State Department’s Spokesperson could not pinpoint a single achievement made by Secretary of State Clinton. Under her authority, the United States spent $80 million dollars on a consulate in Northern Afghanistan that will never be completed. The Clinton State Department also gathered information about foreign diplomats, allies and UN officials, including internet usernames, email addresses, credit card numbers, fingerprints, frequent flier account numbers and work schedules. The state department ended up losing $6 billion dollars due to improper filing of contracts. Hillary Clinton called off numerous internal investigations into her state departments. However, the biggest thing to come out of Hillary’s time as Secretary of State was the Benghazi Terrorist Attack. There were over 600 calls for help in Benghazi and she did absolutely nothing about it. After waiting four months to testify to Congress, Secretary of State Clinton famously said, “...the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest? Or was it because guys out for a

    In “Email Server Dominoes” Poterba shows Hillary Clinton trying to cover up her private servers almost like if she doesn’t want anyone looking at them. That’s exactly what Clinton did after the nation discovered she was using a personal email for work/personal use. The only major question as cisterns and voters we as a society had was if Hillary Clinton was sending and receiving classifies information on her personal email account. If she wasn’t why would she need to delete nearly 30,000 emails before handing the entire server to the FBI?

    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 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.

    A majority of the public though, continued to side with the democrats, believing that although he most definitely lied about his oath, they felt as if the lies did not matter as much because the situation did not directly affect the Nation’s well being. But how can serious lies and meaningless lies exist? Shouldn’t a lie just be a lie? Those questions were the center of the Republican’s argument.

    Mainstreaming Arkansas In the early to the middle of the twentieth century, Arkansas began to grow closer to the modern image that the rest of the United States had seemed to obtain. Although Arkansas’ process of growth was much slower than the rest of the country, the state did begin to catch up and dive into the mainstream. Arkansas developed economically, politically, and culturally by means of businesses that blossomed within the state, politicians that rose to the occasion, and the process of urbanization within the cities around the state, helping Arkansas to achieve a more modern status that better fit the time period of the country.…

    Conversely, Donald Trump’s Presidency thus far has been laden with unfulfilled campaign promises, multiple accusations of sexual assault (Berenson), infantile tirades about fake news, juvenile mocking and name calling of individuals, and deranged rantings on social media. However, proponents of President Trump would dispute that he has not been in office long enough to have time to make the changes he promised, that some of the women accusing him of improper behavior may have been untruthful, and his behavior is acceptable because they are tired of being politically correct. Nevertheless, in approximately the same amount of time in office, President Obama was able to enact The Affordable Care Act. In regards to the charges of…

    For this reason he was rejected from the American public thus preventing him from succeeding as President! The Clintons had entered into a real estate venture, arguably a sweetheart deal in which their potential for loss was minimized (although the proposition was so goofy that they did eventually lose some money) with some shady characters who were simultaneously looting a local savings and loan institution (Klein, 2003). Between January 3, 1994 and August 3, 1994, President Clinton addressed the “Whitewater” matter in the course of seven press/media appearances (Blaney & Benoit, 2002). Kenneth Starr was originally appointed to investigate a failed Arkansas real estate deal involving the Clintons almost 20 years after the fact, Starr 's scope expanded over time to include a bewildering range of accusations of fraud, obstruction of justice and abuse of power allegedly involving President Clinton and the first lady, as well as some of their closest friends and advisers (Washington Post, 1998). A fraudulent $300,000 federally backed loan to Susan McDougal, some of which went into…
