Hillary Claims She Tried to Join Marines!

"Vast right-wing conspiracy" is a conspiracy theory referenced by then First Lady of the United StatesHillary Rodham Clinton in 1998 in defense of her husband, President Bill Clinton, characterizing the continued allegations of scandal against her and her husband, including the Lewinsky scandal, as part of a long campaign by Clinton's political enemies.[1]

White House FBI files controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The White House FBI files controversy of the Clinton Administration, often referred to as Filegate,[1]arose in June 1996 around improper access in 1993 and 1994 to Federal Bureau of Investigationsecurity-clearance documents. Craig Livingstone, director of the White House's Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission. The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republicanadministrations, including top presidential advisors. Under criticism, Livingstone resigned from his position. Allegations were made that senior White House figures, including First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes, and that the First Lady had authorized the hiring of the underqualified Livingstone.

The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s. The Clintons were not prosecuted for wrongdoing.

A March 1992 New York Times article published during the U.S. presidential campaign reported that the Clintons—then governor and first lady ofArkansas—had invested and lost money in the Whitewater Development Corporation.[1] The article stimulated the interest of L. Jean Lewis, aResolution Trust Corporation investigator who was looking into the failure of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan, owned by McDougal. She looked for connections between the savings and loan company and the Clintons, and on September 2, 1992, she submitted a criminal referral to the FBI naming Bill and Hillary Clinton as witnesses in the Madison Guaranty case. Little Rock U.S. Attorney Charles A. Banks and the FBI determined that the referral lacked merit, but she continued to pursue it. From 1992 to 1994, Lewis issued several additional referrals against the Clintons and repeatedly called the U.S. Attorney's Office in Little Rock and the Justice Department regarding the case.[2] Her referrals eventually became public knowledge, and she testified before the Senate Whitewater Committee in 1994.

David Hale, the source of criminal allegations against the Clintons, claimed in November 1993 that as governor of Arkansas, Clinton had pressured him into providing an illegal $300,000 loan to Susan McDougal, the Clintons' partner in the Whitewater land deal.[3] Clinton supporters regarded Hale's allegations as questionable, as Hale had not mentioned Clinton in reference to this loan during the original FBI investigation of Madison Guaranty in 1989; only after coming under indictment for this in 1993 did Hale make allegations against the Clintons.[4] A U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation did result in convictions against the McDougals for their role in the Whitewater project, but the Clintons themselves were never prosecuted.

Around 2007, the Clinton Foundation was criticized for a lack of transparency. Although U.S. law did not require nonprofit charities — including presidential foundations — to disclose the identities of their contributors, critics said that the names of donors should be disclosed because Hillary Rodham Clinton was running to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. Commentator Matthew Yglesias wrote in a Los Angeles Times op-ed that the Clintons should make public the names of foundation donors to avoid any appearance of impropriety.[66]

A lengthy donors list was then released by the Foundation in December 2008,[22] which included several politically sensitive donors, such as theKingdom of Saudi Arabia and Blackwater Worldwide.[23] The Foundation insisted that the disclosures would ensure that "not even the appearance of a conflict of interest" would exist once Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.[23]

The ethics agreement between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation that was put into force at the beginning of the Secretary of State Clinton's tenure came under scrutiny from the news media during February 2015. A Wall Street Journal report found that the Clinton Foundation had resumed accepting donations from foreign governments once Secretary Clinton's tenure had ended.[67] Contributions from foreign donors who are prohibited by law from contributing to political candidates in the U.S. constitute a major portion of the foundation's income. The foundation's chief communications officer Craig Minassian explained that it is a "false choice to suggest that people who may be interested in supporting political causes wouldn’t also support philanthropic work."[3] A Washington Post inquiry into donations by foreign governments to the Clinton Foundation during the secretary's tenure found six cases where such governments continued making donations at the same level they had before Clinton became secretary, which was permissible under the agreement, but also one instance of a new donation, $500,000 from Algeria for earthquake relief in Haiti, that was outside the bounds of the continuation provision and should have received a special ethics review, but did not.[11] Foundation officials said that if the former secretary decided to run for president in 2016, they would again consider what steps to take in reference to foreign donations.[11] But in general, they stressed that, "As with other global charities, we rely on the support of individuals, organizations, corporations and governments who have the shared goal of addressing critical global challenges in a meaningful way. When anyone contributes to the Clinton Foundation, it goes towards foundation programs that help save lives."[11] State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki attested that the foundation's commitment to the ethics agreement in question "has been over and above the letter of the law".[68]

In March 2015, Reuters reported that the Clinton Foundation had broken its promise to publish all of its donors, as well as its promise to let the State Department review all of its donations from foreign governments.[69] In April 2015, the New York Times reported that when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, the State Department had approved a deal to sell American uranium to Russians who had donated to the Clinton Foundation, and that Clinton had broken her promise to publicly identify such donations.[70] About this news, the other media made a list of questionable items.[71] In a May 2015 book regarding the Foundation, author Peter Schweizer wrote, "We see a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds."[14]

After her January 2009 appointment as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton proposed hiring long-time Clinton friend and confidant Sidney Blumenthalas an advisor, however, Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, blocked Blumenthal's appointment at the State Department.[72] Blumenthal was subsequently hired by the Clinton Foundation, earning a Foundation salary of about $10,000 a month, and after the 2011 uprising in Libya againstMuammar Gaddafi, Blumenthal prepared, from public and other sources, about 25 memos which he sent as emails to Clinton in 2011 and 2012 with advice regarding Libyan matters, and sometimes promoting his business associates for contract work in Libya.[73][74]

In May 2015, it was revealed that former Clinton aide and current ABC political news anchor George Stephanopoulos had, over a period of three years from 2012-2014 donated a total of $75,000, to the Clinton Foundation, but did not disclose the donations to ABC News, his employer, or to his viewers.[75] The donations had been reported by the Clinton Foundation, which Stephanopoulos had considered sufficient, a reliance ABC News characterized as "an honest mistake."[76] In the month previous to his revelation, Stephanopoulos told Jon Stewart on The Daily Show that when money is given to the Clinton Foundation "everybody" knows there's "a hope that that's going to lead to something, and that's what you have to be careful of."[77]

Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, in April 2014 said, "It seems like the Clinton Foundation operates as a slush fund for the Clintons."[78]

In 1978 and 1979, lawyer and First Lady of ArkansasHillary Rodham engaged in a series of trades of cattle futures contracts. Her initial $1,000 investment had generated nearly $100,000 when she stopped trading after ten months. In 1994, after Hillary Rodham Clinton had become First Lady of the United States, the trading became the subject of considerable controversy regarding the likelihood of such a spectacular rate of return, possible conflict of interest, and allegations of disguised bribery,[1] allegations that Clinton strongly denied. There were no official investigations of the trading and Clinton was never charged with any wrongdoing.

In a Fall 1994 paper for the Journal of Economics and Finance, economists from the University of North Florida and Auburn Universityinvestigated the odds of gaining a hundred-fold return in the cattle futures market during the period in question. Using a model that was stated to give the hypothetical investor the benefit of the doubt, they concluded that the odds of such a return happening were at best 1 in 31 trillion.[14]

The comment by Senator Clinton to Fox News that has raised eyebrows and caused her to elaborate further at a later campaign stop was this:

“I would point to the fact that that Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when he was able to get through Congress something that President Kennedy was hopeful to do, the President before had not even tried, but it took a president to get it done. That dream became a reality, the power of that dream became real in people’s lives because we had a president who said we are going to do it, and actually got it accomplished.”

LMAO... AHhh... so he DID have WMDs when Democrats said he had them but he DIDN'T have them when Bush went in, therefore, BUSH lied to Democrats?

He did have them at least up until the first Gulf War. That is historical fact. Maybe until Desert Fox. He didn't have them when Bush invaded. That's also historical fact.

No it's not. He still had them from the Gulf War... which he supposedly had destroyed. We had evidence a lot of his stuff went to Syria before we invaded. We've actually seen some of the munitions and hardware being used today by ISIS. Actual Chem/Bio agents are only viable for about 6 months, so any actual harmful WMDs are not going to be around.

1) 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium
In a joint Energy and Defense Department operation, 1.77 metric tons of low-enriched uranium and approximately 1000 highly radioactive sources were secured from Iraq's former nuclear research facility, packaged and then airlifted on June 23, the press statement said.
"This operation was a major achievement for the Bush Administration's goal to keep potentially dangerous nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists," Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham said in the statement. "It also puts this material out of reach for countries that may seek to develop their own nuclear weapons."(source)

2) 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons agents
U.S. troops raiding a warehouse in the northern city of Mosul uncovered a suspected chemical weapons factory containing 1,500 gallons of chemicals believed destined for attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces and civilians, military officials said Saturday.(source)

3) 17 chemical warheads containing cyclosarin (a nerve agent five times more deadly than sarin gas)
"Laboratory tests showed the presence in them of cyclosarin, a very toxic gas, five times stronger than sarin and five times more durable," Bieniek told Poland's TVN24 at the force's Camp Babylon headquarters.
"If these warheads, which were still usable, were used on a military base like Camp Babylon, they would have caused unforeseeable damage." (source)

4) Over 1,000 radioactive materials in powdered form meant for dispersal over populated areas
"Along with 1.77 tons of enriched uranium, about 1,000 "highly radioactive sources" were also removed.
The material was taken from a former nuclear research facility on 23 June, after being packaged by 20 experts from the US Energy Department's secret laboratories." (source)

5) Roadside bombs loaded with mustard and "conventional" sarin gas, assembled in binary chemical projectiles for maximum potency (source)

So.... Yeah.

So Bush was lying then....

"the main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn’t, but he had the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction." - George Bush​

Yeah, I guess he fooled you after all, eh? You people aren't too bright.

He certainly fooled Bush who invaded Iraq over WMD that weren't there. Cost 5,000 Americans their lives.

And now the cry is 'GIVE US ANOTHER CHANCE!"

Personally, my investments cannot stand another Republican disaster....in addition to the fact that they are chomping at the bit to invade someone...Iran, Syria, N Korea, Canada, Mexico, France.....YOU NAME IT, THEY WILL INVADE IT!

Rand Paul is the only exception, who of course is a little off balanced anyway.

And if the GOP had its way, we would still be segregated. Yup, separate bathrooms, schools, and areas of abode. You know it is true.

Bottom line as it pertains to Hillary Clinton....

She had three choices the days following the Benghazi attack

1) Go with the information offered her by intel advisers saying it appeared to have been a planned terrorist attack
2) Go with her politically expedient excuse of blaming the attack on a protest that was spurred by an American exercising his first amendment right
3) Go with the typical mature response....we are collecting as much information as possible and will not guess at the cause until we have reviewed everything...

Yet...

She opted to blame it on our most sacred right (and most hated by many in the middle east)....the first amendment.

Enough said.

Bush sure did. That's a big reason why his brother has no chance at ever being the president of the U.S.

I agree his brother won't ever be president but it wasn't Bush who fooled Democrats, they were screaming about Saddam's WMDs before Bush was president.

You mean when he actually did have WMD? At any rate, you failed to help your fellow rightard who said Hussein was trying to fool everyone into believing he had WMD since Hussein was telling us he didn't.

LMAO... AHhh... so he DID have WMDs when Democrats said he had them but he DIDN'T have them when Bush went in, therefore, BUSH lied to Democrats?

So.... Yeah.

You're ******* deranged.

Your source says they found two shells. One contained sarin and one contained mustard gas. And they were both old from before the first Gulf war. Bush said Hussein had hundreds of tons of such chemicals and biological weapons. And he said Hussein was manufacturing even more and stockpiling them.

That's why Bush said "turns out there weren't any [WMD]."

Well since the Marines don't have a military academy per say, probably not.

Graduates of the naval academy in Annapolis have the option of entering either the Navy as an Ensign or the Marines as a 2nd Lieutenant. .......

Yes... that's why I said "per say" ...you may have missed it. It's Latin... per se : "in itself."

Hillary lied about trying to join the Marines (or Army, depending on version of lie). But then... Hillary lies constantly and continually. She has been lying ever since she left her lesbian girlfriend to first go out with Bill. In 2008, when campaigning against Obama, she actually told more lies than he did but he won out because his lies were more believable. Hell... Hillary is who started the rumor that Obama was born in Kenya!

She did not. Despite how many times you're told that the earliest known claim started on freerepublic.com, you friggin' liars can't contain yourself from blaming Hillary.

The NYT is the Free Republic? Really? Better check your talking points.

Hillary Clinton Says She Once Tried to Be Marine

As the Times describes her, Mrs. Clinton is obviously an alien capable of shape shifting:

But, even given the fact that the nation has become accustomed to Mrs. Clinton's intriguing shape-shifting -- from liberal do-gooder to high-risk commodities trader, from power lawyer to cookie baker, from health care czar to housewife supervising the menu for the state dinner for the Emperor and Empress of Japan -- the latest one is still jarring. Macho Contrast to Clinton

I was talking about the fallacious claim that Hillary started the birther thing. She didn't, it started on freerepublic.com

 

[Faun]

If you weren't so ******* deranged, you'd understand.

Here's what I understand:

Birtherism: Where it all began

POLITICO... of whom, I am NOT a big fan.... says, and I quote:
"That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obama’s citizenship."

*BOOM* goes the dynamite!

That boom you hear is you beating yourself over your own head with the stupid stick.

That was in April, 2008, you deranged ****.

Uhm... yeah? So?

Look... stop being cryptic and tell me what your problem is here?

I said that the Birther movement was started by Hillary during the '08 Democrat primary.

Something was muttered about "them damn freerepublic.com bastards" and I said, they simply reported what Hillary's 527 had leaked. I've presented the article from Politico to back up my statements and now you are acting weird about the date and timeline.... Do you not understand something? Did they forget to give you the Ritalin today? Are you confused over when Hillary ran against Obama for the DNC nomination?

Because a month before Hillary supporters purportedly sent those emails, someone had already posted the birther nonsense on freerepublic.com.

Freerepublic.com

I was told today that Obama swore in on a Koran for his Senate seat. I do not believe he did. Can someone clarify this for me? I am under the impression only a Congressman has so far sworn in on a Koran.

Also that Obama’s mother gave birth to him overseas and then immediately flew into Hawaii and registered his birth as having taken place in Hawaii.

Again, any clarifications on this? Defintely disqualifies him for Prez. There must be some trace of an airticket. While small babies are not charged air fare they do have a ticket issued for them.

Long time ago but there may be some residual information somewhere. Good ammo (if available and true) BEST USED AFTER he becomes PREZ (if that occurs) and it’s too late for Dems - except accept the VP.

Do you see now why Ed pointed our the ridiculousness of your "backwards" in time suggestion that someone posted that on freerepublic.com after Hillary supporters supposedly "leaked" it?

Somebody mentioned it on a blog in a series of speculations. This was uncovered after the story became public after being leaked by Hillary's supporters. You people can't even be honest about your lying... that's bad.

That's not a blog, ya moron. But that is where it started.

Hillary and her team are now reportedly REFUSING to give any more details about how she was REJECTED by the US Marine Recruiter back in the 1970s.


Hillary wants 'stupid American Voters' to believe that she, a Yale-educated lawyer who had worked on anti-war campaigns of both McCarthy and McGovern, who had just moved back to Arkansas, whose husband was about to become the Attorney General of the state of Arkansas, suddenly had a change of heart about the military and wanted to give up on supporting all of Bill's political ambitions in order to joint the USMC?!

See it's not JUST the lying that worries me with Hillary - it's her frightening lack of ability to think things through logically...such as with this 'whopper'. NONE of this story makes sense - NONE of it.

Did she just think people were too stupid to check any of it out? Did she think the media was going to give her a free pass the way they did Obama? IS SHE MENTAL?

Whatever it is, she continues to prove she definitely lacks the abilities needed to run this country, such as integrity, morality, ethics, common sense....
