Clinton Presidency: The Most Corrupt in American History
Ashborrok.org ^ | 1996 (-20 years) | David N. Mayer

History does repeat itself. On November 5, the American people re-elected Bill Clinton to a second term in the face of allegations of serious abuses of power by the President and members of his administration. Like the allegations about the break-in at the Watergate Hotel that George McGovern unsuccessfully tried to raise during the 1972 election, the allegations about the Clinton administration’s abuses of power failed to capture the attention of the American people–partly due to the failure of Clinton’s rivals, Bob Dole and Ross Perot, to raise the issue until very late in the campaign, and partly–indeed, largely–due to the successful efforts of Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media to "stonewall" the issue, which they misleadingly called a question merely of "character."

The question of abuse of power goes beyond the matter of Clinton’s character: rather, it is an important substantive issue. In a presidential campaign, no single issue is more important than how an incumbent president has used the awesome powers of his office–whether the president has adhered to his oath of office, to faithfully execute the laws and to "preserve, protect, and defend" the Constitution of the United States, which limits his powers. Yet this issue was not adequately debated during the campaign, and the American people–except for those who regularly read the Wall Street Journal, the only daily national newspaper that has been fully covering the various Clinton administration scandals–cast their votes in ignorance of the matter. Like Watergate, however, the issue of President Clinton’s abuse of power cannot (and must not) disappear: it must be faced, if we are to remain a nation governed by the rule of law.......

And here we are 20 years later, folks. It's unbelievable. The Clinton msm allies are now in a well-bonded full financial partnership of sorts.

This article is for those who may be too young to remember or were not paying much attention to the former Clinton Administration. The author lays out the numerous abuses of power and Clinton's conspirators.

Charles Krauthammer on Bill Clinton’s “Presidential Corruption Index”:

“On the Presidential Corruption Index, he racks up a 4. Has any president scored higher?”

A lot of bad things have been normalized and few really care.

She could announce her intent to sell 2-3 states to the N. Koreans or Mexico and they’d say, “no one is perfect.”

Whereas I appreciate the mentioned items in the article, this is nothing like the big one that was not addressed.

Here is a series of articled to explain that the Clinton’s set up the Chinese with the missile reentry vehicle (MRV) tracking program so they could site their missiles easier and far better. What it accomplished was China sighting the left coast of the US with multiple warhead missiles. This puts millions of American citizens at risk. And it was done for campaign finances and to assist Loral and Hughes corporations.

Clinton Approves Technology Transfer to China

http://www.nytimes.com/1999/05/11/world/clinton-approves-technology-transfer-to-china.html?_r=0

“Mr. Clinton’s notification also follows by less than a week the release of a report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which concluded that lax monitoring of the launching of American-made satellites aboard Chinese rockets had enhanced the accuracy of China’s ballistic missile arsenal.”

http://www.independentsentinel.com/lest-we-forget-hillarys-china-gate-scandal/

“This is a scandal unlike any other in American history. Clinton and Schwartz have nothing on Benedict Arnold. The sensitive technical data shared with the Chinese for simple greed and power has apparently enhanced the reliability of Beijing’s long-range nuclear missiles — missiles, by the way, targeted at the United States.”

This last is an article from Washington Weekly in 1999 that is very close to what happened. So if you think campaign finance, or lies about illicit sexual favors is bad, consider the loss of millions of people on the left coast. It doesn’t get any worse.

The most corrupt administration - until obama.

And now, the American people have indicated they want more of the same.
