Hillary Clinton's Email Scandal

Superior Essays
Hillary Clinton is one of the most well known Democrats and with that territory comes being subject multiple scandals. This has given her the reputation of being untrustworthy and a liar, a reputation she doesn 't really deserve. In this article I will debunked some of the top four Hilary Clinton scandals which have hurt her this campaign.

Hillary 's Email Scandal Since the beginning of the 2016 election cycle, Hilary 's deleted and emails and use of a private server have been the subject of scrutiny by people across the political spectrum, and from their draw the conclusion that she is more untrustworthy than other politicians.

Emails that could potentially contain information about the false claims weapons of mass destruction which were used as an excuse to go into Iraq and the firings of US attorneys for political reasons. The Bush White House also used a private server, in fact 95% of Bush 's chief staffers would emails were on a private email server set up by the RNC.

This email loss also made it difficult for congress to investigate the allegedly political firings of 9 US attorneys. When the Senate Judiciary Committee required these emails to be presented, Alberto Gonzalez, Bush’s attorney general, admitted to losing the emails on the on a private email server used on the RNC.

Though Hilary shouldn’t have used a private server, Hillary 's email scandal is nowhere near as horrible or disastrous as Bush’s email scandal yet got quadruple as much media coverage and triple as much scrutiny from the opposing party.

    The American citizens valued and adored highly respected political leaders such as the dynamic duo, Hillary and Bill Clinton. To them, Monica Lewinsky proved to be a detrimental setback to the government and embodied a character that was seen as unfavorable. She was extremely vilified by the media because she was seen “as that scary feminine trope: the crazy, emotional Single White Female — or, to borrow the phrase from the political sex scandal before her, “a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty” (Bennett, Jessica). All these descriptions of her eventually built a character of her as being lewd, provocative, improper, and out of line. She made decisions during this time period that have caused the media to paint this portrait of her that she could have avoided in the first place.…

    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).…

    First Lady of the United States, United States Senator, and Secretary of State are some of the titles that have been attached to Mrs. Clinton over the years. However, after her defeat in the 2008 Democratic Party primary to political neophyte and eventual President, Barack Obama many believed that the curtain had come down on her political career. Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton with such tenacity told us to never count her out. Before the election had started, there were calls from all around the Democratic Party’s establishment for her to run, which was tantamount to an anointment as the true successor of President Barack Obama. However, there were those of us who felt that Clinton represented the past, the politics of triangulation, and the character of a chameleon -- someone who would say whatever to achieve her poorly masked goal of sitting in the Oval Office as President of the United States.…

    Throughout the years, the United States has experienced the reigns of many of presidents. Some of these presidents having the admiration of the public for being one of the best presidents, and some just have the scum left on the floor. In my opinion one of the best presidents we have had up to date was Lyndon B. Johnson for his hardy attitude, and having the knowledge to comprehend what he can and cannot do. The worst president goes to Bill Clinton for his wishy-washy, hardheaded decision-making, and for risking national security for personal affairs.…

    There has always been a shroud of fog around the personal matters of the Clinton’s, but underneath that shroud there is a hidden evil that is incomparable to any other American politician. The Clinton’s have been involved in many conspicuous affairs including White Water and the Ives/Henry case. They also have been involved in around 100 deaths of people close to them or people who worked for them. They have used witness intimidation and other scare tactics to harass witnesses into not testifying, and if they don’t agree, they are normally dead within days. Because of the amount of Clinton body guards that have been killed, the Ives Henry case, Whitewater, and the amount of the Clinton’s fellow party members that have died around them, it is…

Clinton was caught using her private email to send and receive government based emails, almost 31,000 at that (Zurcher). Contrasting to the numerous presidential elections in the past, neither Clinton nor Trump were seen as prestigious candidates, leaving America with a tough…
