Defending the indefensible Hillary Clinton
NYPOST.COM ^ | 3/14/15 | MICHAEL GOODWIN

Posted on 03/16/2015 6:50:50 AM PDT by Liz

The toughest job these days is defending Hillary Clinton......as they retreat behind the bunker door, her defenders are settling on a crude ­legal defense....begins with the claim that she didn’t break any laws by doing government business on her private e-mail and ends with the insistence that everybody does it. The Clintons have spent a lifetime parsing words, splitting hairs and cutting corners in pursuit of power. In their world, any behavior not ­indictable is acceptable. These are the people who tried to steal furniture from the White House! The Clintons recognize no constraint on themselves other than the outer limits of what’s legal, and sometimes not even that.

With the Obama directing the charge against Hillary!, she’s unlikely to emerge from this unscathed - if emerge at all.

Question is ... why, nearing the end of his term, would the Obama be out to destroy Hillary!? Either his successor is waiting for his way to coronation to clear, or the Obama is ending opposition from the Left so he doesn’t have to fight a two-front war when he declares the continuation of his Imperial Presidency beyond 20 Jan 2017.

If it’s good enough for Obama it good enough for Hillary.

I’d still like to put her under oath and question her about the untimely (bad for us, good for her?) deaths of Vince Foster and Ron Brown during the Whitewater investigation.

Hillary's Criminal History

Read "Hillary's Pursuit of Power" by Jerry Zeifman

The following information is summarized from The Florida Times Union March 8, 2014

Jerry Zeifman was counsel to, and chief of staff of, the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate investigation. Zeifman supervised Hullary Clinton who at the time was a young lawyer working on the Watergate investigation team.

In Zeifman’s 2006 book, Hillary’s Pursuit of Power he makes the statement that she “...engaged in a variety of self-serving unethical practices in violation of House rules.”

On his now closed website, Zeifman also stated that “Hillary Clinton is ethically unfit to be either a senator or president — and if she were to become president, the last vestiges of the traditional moral authority of the party of Roosevelt, Truman and Johnson will be destroyed.”

Zeifman said that Hillary and others wanted Richard Nixon to remain in office to bolster the chances of a Democrat being elected president.

Zeifman said that in 1974 a young lawyer, John Labovitz, who also worked for Zeifman and shared an office with Clinton, came to him to apologize that he and Clinton had lied to him. Labovitz is quoted saying that he was dismayed with “… her erroneous legal opinions and efforts to deny Nixon representation by counsel — as well as an unwillingness to investigate Nixon.”

Zeifman made the charge that Hillary regularly consulted with Ted Kennedy’s chief political strategist, a violation of House rules.

According to Zeifman, Hillary’s conduct was the result of not wanting Nixon to face an impeachment trial because Democrats worried that Nixon might bring up abuses of office by President John Kennedy.

Zeifman states that Rodham joined others in trying to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. In order to pull this off, he said that Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents.

After the Nixon impeachment investigation was finished, Zeifman fired Hillary and said he refused to give her a letter of recommendation.

Zeifman is reported as saying he regrets not reporting Hillary to the appropriate bar association.

WANNA SCARE THE **** OUTTA THE CLINTONS? go after official documents filed away that the felonious Clintons can't get their filthy hands on.

Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz need to go to OMB---and demand all records relating to taxpayers subsidizing the Clintons---OMB payments to Bill Clinton's Harlem office including the number of electronic devices he owns and whether taxpayers subsidized the infamous server.

Congress needs to launch multiple investigations into Hillary’s State Dept tenure:

<><> her expense accounts,

<><> her use of federal credit cards,

<><>her role in the State Dept's disbursement of funds to private contractors;

<><> obtaining Hillary's official calendar, and her contact with foreign leaders,

<><>her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation by using classified info as an instrument for fund-raisinig.

=================================================

The Buckraking Clintons sucking up foreign donations is morally reprehensible----but the real crimes are what exactly they are doing with the corporate/foreign monies once its in their Foundation's tax-exempt coffers.

It's becoming clearer why Bill Clinton used a shocking 21 phone nos and email addresses----because L/E knows multiple phone no's and emails is an indication of possible money-laundering and tax evasion.

==================================================

THE REPORT WE ALL WANT TO SEE:

<><> dates and times of Hillary's emails WRT to US foreign policy issues,

<><> dates and times of Obama's official statements on said foreign policy issues,

<><> dates and times of foreign govt donations to the Clinton Foundation(s).

==================================================

Let the money laundering, tax evasion and govt fraud investigations begin....start w/ the Clinton Foundation, and its vast tentacles, Hilary's State Dept tenure....(not to mention the matter of Hillary's US senate activities /snort).

Remember the press going through Sarah Palin's emails... with a fine toothed comb?

Remember the hype and hysteria?

What would the New York Times boys have written if Palin had 'dumped' 30,000 emails from the system ... and used a private server? They'd be screaming bloody murder...

Maureen Down - are you there?

"Smile everybody. Another $100 million came in today."

The con artists Clintons created the ultimate scam: The Clinton Family Foundation! .... a slush fund as a "foundation."........or as some uncharitably call it "Hillary's 2016 Super-Pac."

The Clintons' controls its officers. Each Clinton family member can be listed as an officer in some capacity. They then get all sorts of tax-free perks..... flying around in private planes, staying in upscale hotels.

For the cunning Bill Clinton, every conversation he has can be chalked up to "foundation business"...and written off as "Charity." Thus a significant portion of their real income is shielded from taxes.

The Clintons work the foundation game like an extortion racket.....strong-arming donors and giving them special standing courtesy of their public offices---sucking off the backs of struggling taxpayers.

And, it’s been reported that Valerie Jarrett has been meeting with Warren.

If true, then Obama has agreed to get rid of Hillary so Warren would run.

I guess we’ll see; if and when anybody can get anything on Hillary; maybe, but I’m not holding my breath.

THIS JUST IN--- Judge Gladys Kessler of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the State Department to produce passenger manifests from 47 overseas trips that Mrs. Clinton made as secretary of state. Citizens United requested the manifests last July through a Freedom of Information Act Request.

There seems to be a solid connection between:

(1) donors to the Clinton Foundation,

(2) companies receiving contracts from foreign countries, and,

(3) Clinton Foundation donors receiving favorable treatment from the State Dept.

<><> Sixty companies contributed $26 million to the Clinton Foundation.

<><> Forty four of those companies also contributed to a $3.2 billion dollar fund established at the Clinton Global Initiative (a wing of the foundation).

<><> At least 25 companies made contributions to fifteen private/public partnerships set up by ex-Pres Clinton;

And who administered all of them?.......the State Department w/ Hillary at the helm.

=============================================

CASE IN POINT---The lucrative foreign contracts to companies that were Clinton Foundation donors were all administered by the State Department.....w/ Hillary at the helm.

<><> questions remain WRT how often CEOs and company reps traveled with Hillary;

<><> did the countries giving these companies lucrative contracts receive anything from Clinton?

===================================================

CONNECTING THE DOTS Then-Secy Hillary gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars from the tax-subsidized Foundation for Earthquake Relief.

This was followed by Hillary’s brother getting a rare gold mining permit; the last permit Haiti issued was over fifty years before.

===================================================

POINTS TO PONDER:

<><> As Secretary of State, Hillary devoted much of her time in 2010 to the Haiti recovery.

<><> The State Dept recently issued a "special management alert"-----that it had "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors.....it warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

<><> Bill Clinton got his hands on hundreds of million of dollars while Hillary controlled the State Dept checkbook..... monies that were meant for Haiti.

<><> the newlywed Clintons spent their honeymoon in Haiti.

<><> listed as a Clinton Foundation donor: Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund---organized at the behest of Obama: GHWB-WJC principles.

After the earthquake in Haiti, the Clinton Foundation raised around $36 million for disaster relief, while the Obama Administration kicked in $3.6 billion.

=================================================

Protesters gathered outside the Clinton Foundation in Harlem to complain about "missing money" from the US State Dept's recovery effort for the 2010 Haitian earthquake:

"New Yorkers with roots in Haiti protested, saying the picture [of the Haiti recovery] isn't so rosy," said the NY1-TV anchor. "People raised their voices to call attention to the missing money.

They protested outside the offices of the Clinton Foundation, which helped lead the reconstruction fund."

The protesters claimed that the US State Dept's $10 billion meant to help rebuild Haiti did little to help the country after the devastating 2010 quake. And that much of the money went to non-Haitian companies.

Said one protester, “The Haitian people are still living in very difficult conditions, still living under tents, while Bill Clinton and his cronies--they waste this money."
