If Hillary wins, we’ll have a potential blackmail target in the White House
Fox News ^ | October 30,2015 | John Fund

Note that so far none of the WikiLeaks revelations have come from Hillary’s personal account. That could mean it wasn’t hacked, or it could mean that “hostile” actors are waiting to make use of them.

Given the growing suspicions that the Clinton Foundation may have exchanged favors with the Clinton State Department, her private server could be of great interest in establishing such links.

In short, we have to acknowledge the danger that Hillary Clinton could be the target of international blackmail in the White House.

Consider what happened the first time the Clinton couple was there. Bill Clinton’s involvement with the intern Monica Lewinsky had national security implications and also subjected him to possible blackmail.

Secret Service agent Gary Bryne reported in his book ‘Crisis of Character” that U.S. intelligence agencies had concluded that Russia, the U.K. and Israel had intercepted phone calls between Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

In 2000, Insight magazine, after a one-year investigation by a team of reporters, claimed that the Israeli government had “penetrated four White House telephone lines and was able to relay real-time conversations on those lines from a remote site outside the White House directly to Israel for listening and recording.”

The Code of Federal Regulations (Title 32, Chapter 1, Part 147) makes clear that a person may lose a security clearance for "concealment of information that may increase an individual's vulnerability to coercion, exploitation, or duress, such as engaging in activities which, if known, may affect the person's personal, professional, or community standing or render the person susceptible to blackmail.”

Michael Goodwin wrote a good article today basically saying how insane are we that we would allow the Clintons back into the White house after all the corruption? Seriously, corruption follows them everywhere and THIS is what people want back in the WH??

She’s an impeachment waiting to happen.

We went through that with Bill; do we want to go through it again with his wife?

I think Trump is going to win and by a big margin. I can’t believe that the majority of people in this country would find a Hillary Presidency acceptable.

Worse than that Fund, you idiot. A Hillary “win” is the death of the American Republic.

If Hillary wins, we’ll have a potential blackmail target in the White House

We already had a potential blackmail target in the White House. His name was Bill Clinton, whose reckless sexual behavior was a threat to American national security:

Clinton and his supporters have been very effective in persuading large numbers of Americans that the Lewinsky scandal was “only about sex.” But I see a bigger issue here, because Clinton is on record as saying that he would have done anything to keep knowledge of the Lewinsky affair from becoming public.

To me, that statement raises a very serious question: What if, instead of sending her recorded Lewinsky conversations to Ken Starr, Linda Tripp had instead secretly offered them for sale, say, to the Chinese government? Or to the Russians? Or even to agents of Saddam?

What kind of blackmail leverage would those tapes have provided to a foreign government in dealing with America on sensitive trade, security or military issues? One of the few things Clinton ever said that I believe is that he would have done anything to keep the Lewinsky affair secret. Given his demonstrated track record of selling out American interests for personal or political gain (and there are more examples that I could have cited here), how far would he have gone in compromising America’s real interests in order to protect his own neck when threatened with blackmail?

Pretty far, I believe. Equally distressing is the prospect Clinton might, in fact, have succumbed to foreign black mail on other occasions in order to hide different sexual episodes that ultimately did not become public. There is no way to know, of course, but I prefer presidents for whom such a scenario is not a plausible possibility.

I am not so concerned that Hillary is susceptible to blackmail, but that she will start funneling the most sensitive top secret information to enemy nations. She has openly campaigned that she will not enforce the nation’s borders and will open the floodgates to anyone who wants to enter. Why wouldn’t she take that philosophy to include sharing our secrets with China, Russia, Iran, or any other adversary?

Some people are motivated to compromise sensitive information by ideology. It seems to me that Hillary’s ideology makes her a high security risk. Obama’s, too, for that matter.

Fund is silly.
How can she be blackmailed after all this?
Anything new would just be a bit more for the pile.

“Consider what happened the first time the Clinton couple was there. Bill Clinton’s involvement with the intern Monica Lewinsky had national security implications and also subjected him to possible blackmail.”.......

Monica was too smart to try blackmail, it would have caused her to be another name on the Clinton’s “suspiciously deceased” list.

Impeachment is all about politics.
Of course she can be impeached, but she cant be removed that way without a supermajority.
So whats the point?

Personally, I DO NOT believe we will have heard the last from all the Clinton's, remember they have a daughter Chelsea who is connected to G. Soros via marriage. The Clinton's will NEVER give up trying to run this country.

You don’t think the current occupant of the WH doesn’t have a bazillion skeletons in the closet? I’m just wondering who the Master holding all the strings is for this puppet.

The files of the Clinton Foundations must be a treasure trove of goodies.

“What kind of morally corrupt people will vote for this thoroughly corrupt, criminal?”

All those who have abortions, fight for abortions, or are indifferent to the slaughtering of innocent babies. To them, a Hillary presidency is an absolute must.
