Is Hilary Clinton The Most Corrupt, Dishonest Presidential Candidate Ever?

We have not talked a lot about Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, the two national party candidates for President. One reason is that if you tried to follow all of the insanity, law breaking, name calling, inane quotes, and indicting-avoiding that both of them constantly do, you could write a non-stop post for years. I am obviously not a big fan of either of them.

Today, the focus will be on the nefarious doings of the Hillary Clinton camp, a camp that I find far more dangerous along every dimension imaginable than Trump. There has been some very interesting realities exposed over the past week as the Wikileaks website has published almost 20,000 emails that were hacked out of the Democratic National Committee computers that do not shine a positive light on Clinton. 

Specifically, the emails showed that the Clinton campaign staff was in close contact with the DNC executives and employees to help sabotage Bernie Sanders’s bid to become the Democratic nominee for President. Emails showed the DNC plotting to do various things to make Sanders look bad in the press, leveraging his religious beliefs against him, etc. If this were the early 1970s, we would be looking at the infamous “dirty tricks” tactics employed by Nixon as he ran for President.

,All nasty, dirty politics which shows how corrupt both political parties are today even when dealing with their own kind. But today’s focus will be on what I call the Clinton Crime Syndicate, otherwise known as the Clinton Foundation. I thought I was going to have to do a lot of research to pull together all of the nefarious, corrupt, immoral, and very likely illegal activities of the Syndicate/Foundation but I found that most of that homework had already been done by Reason magazine writer, John Stossel, on July 27, 2016. 

His entire article can be accessed at:

Highlights of his findings and research and how the Clintons’ got rich trading off of Hillary’s State Department position are listed below:

• Stossel gives credit to the recent documentary movie, Clinton Cash, which was based on the book of the same name by Peter Schweizer.
• It is Stossel’s opinion that the Clintons use “speaking fees” to get around bribery laws: "If somebody gave a politician or family member money for a favor, that's breaking the law. But if you say it's a speaking fee, and you pay double or triple the normal rate, that seems to be legal."
• The article claims, and other sources have made similar estimates, that Bill Clinton has made an amazing $126 million or more on speaking fees and giving speeches.
• If he can get someone to pay him to give what is likely a canned speech all the more power to him, it is supposed to be a free country.
• But Stossel points out how the Clintons were able to supercharge Bill’s speaking fees by coupling his speeches with Hillary’s influence peddling as the head of the State Department.
• Before Hillary was named as Secretary of State, Bill's speaking fees averaged just under $200,000. 
• But after Hillary became Secretary of State, Bill often got speaking fees upwards of over $700,00 PER speech.
• Schweizer is quoted in the article that this kind of jump in fees is "evidence that people paying him expect to get something in return. She [Hillary] becomes appointed secretary of state, a friend of the president of Nigeria suddenly offers (Bill) $700,000 apiece for two speeches. An investment firm in Moscow that's tied to the Kremlin who had never paid for him to speak before suddenly gave him $500,000."
• Stossel accuse the Clinton’s of using the Clinton Foundation to launder money and has had over $2 billion pass through the Foundation to “improve global health and wellness” even if only a meager 15% of that $2 billion was actually spent on needy causes (Source: Sean Davis of the Federalist who examined the actual Foundation accounting records).
• As an example of such nonsense, Stossel describes what happened after the Haitian earthquake that ravaged the country.
• The Foundation announced it would help rebuild the country and promised to develop an industrial park that create up to 60,000 jobs.
• That effort ended up creating a meager 7,000 jobs.
• But Clinton friends made out very well in Haiti. Irish billionaire Denis O’Brien, who runs a cellphone company named Digicel, paid Bill Clinton $225,000 to give a speech and within four months was given a Clinton Foundation grant and the job to operate Haiti’s cellular telephone operations.
• VCS mining which, according to Schweizer, "has no experience in mining, very little experience in Haiti, and it raises the question, of all the companies out there, why did the Haitian government pick this one company?"  got an exclusive gold mining contract for Haiti. Two simple answers to Schweizer’s questions: Hillary’s brother works for VCS and the chairman of the company just happens to be a campaign donor to Democratic politicians and causes.
• Maybe the most blatant form of extortion and influence peddling has to do with the Swedish telecommunications company, Ericsson.
• For a while, according to Schweizer, Ericsson had been viewed negatively and aggressively by Hillary Clinton's State Department because Ericsson sold telecommunications equipment to what the State Department considered repressive governments: "WikiLeaks cables show the State Department sort of busting up the Swedish foreign minister, saying you need to get Ericsson into line. Ericsson decides that this would be a great time to sponsor a speech by Bill Clinton. They had never done so before. They decided to go big, $750,000 for a 20-minute speech. Bill gives the speech and literally seven days later, the State Department comes out with a statement saying we're not going to take further action against Ericsson. We're going to ask them to police themselves."
• Let me repeat something that Wikileaks found: Bill Clinton got paid an amazing $750,000 to give a 20 minute speech. That’s $37,5000 a minute. 
• Soon afterwards, Hillary’s State Department basically said “never mind” when it came to Ericsson selling telecom equipment to repressive governments.

A few questions:

• Has there ever been an official candidate for President that has been so corrupt, so greedy, so criminal going into the battle for the White House than Hillary Clinton? 
• What will Bernie Sanders supporters do in November? The above activities are the very things and very corruption that they fought so passionately against.
• Why hasn’t Obama stepped in to stop this corruption since it occurred on his watch? 
• Instead, he has come out and endorsed Clinton, does she have similar corruption leverage on him that Obama needs to keep hushed up?
• How can all of this money laundering and corruption not be against some law someplace or against the racketeering (RICO) statutes? Please note, that the above discussion is not comprehensive when it comes to these kinds of Clinton antics, e.g. the selling of U.S. uranium interests to Russian interests, etc.
• And most of all, how can any American vote for Hillary, given her corruption, law breaking, greed, and lies, from the above racketeering charges, to lying in front of Congress, to breaking multiple Federal laws when it came to an unsecured email system, etc., etc., etc. Please let me know of you are one of those that are willing to overlook such slimy behavior.

Oh, an answer to that last question is that Clinton is less evil than Donald Trump is not acceptable. At the risk of overcliching, “the lesser of two evils is still evil,” consider voting for the Libertarian or Green party candidate, candidates that at least appear to have some degree of honesty and integrity. 

Write in Sanders name as a protest vote that keeps you within integrity. 

Ignore that Presidential ballot line as you vote for other, non-Presidential positions. 

Remember, never wrestle with a pig: the pig likes it and you both get dirty. Stay clean and vote for honesty and integrity, not someone who launders money and lies anytime it is self serving.
