[Scouts-eng] Here they are: Hillary's 23 biggest scandals ever - 18) Hill ca$hes in: Iranian fundraising

[edell at post.com]

During his 1992 campaign for the presidency, Bill Clinton was 
fond of promising America, “You get two for the price of one,” 
indicating Hillary Clinton would act as his co-president.

But the nation got much more than it bargained for, as the top 
power couple brought a load of baggage with them into the White 
House from their days in Arkansas.

After the Clintons moved into the presidential mansion, the 
political scandals multiplied – from use of the IRS and FBI to 
target political opponents to stalking and harassing subjects of 
Bill Clinton’s sexual advances and even attempts to loot 
taxpayer-funded items from the White House. Americans also 
witnessed capers such as Travelgate, Chinagate, Filegate and 
Pardongate.

Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades and subsequent impeachment by 
the U.S. House of Representatives on charges of perjury and 
obstruction of justice consumed more than a year of American 
public life and bitterly divided the nation.

In the years since the memorable Clinton presidency, Hillary has 
brought America Emailgate and the Benghazi scandal, among 
others. New developments in the Clinton Foundation scandals 
emerges almost daily.

Now, it’s Hillary’s “turn” to be president, according to her 
Democrat supporters.

But in 2015, America is still apparently suffering from “Clinton 
fatigue.” Results from a Quinnipiac poll published in April 
revealed between 49 and 56 percent of voters in three 
significant swing states – Colorado, Virginia and Iowa – believe 
Hillary is neither honest nor trustworthy.

Even former California Democratic Party Chairman Bill Press told 
WND that controversies surrounding Hillary should convince 
members of his own party an uncontested coronation of Clinton as 
the party’s 2016 nominee for the White House is a very risky 
idea and should encourage other Democrats to throw their hats in 
the ring.

Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican candidate for president, said 
Sunday he believes voters will reject Hillary because of the 
“cloud of constant scandal she brings to the political process.”

Rubio told Fox News Sunday, “Unfortunately, both under her 
husband’s presidency, her time in the Department of State, her 
campaign for the president last time and even now, there seems 
to be this cloud of constant scandal and things that distract us 
from the core issues of the moment.”

Hillary’s “drama” could become a distraction, Rubio warned, at a 
time when the stakes are high for America in the 2016 election.

“I just think that at this hinge moment in our history, where we 
are asked to make a transition from the past into this new 
future, with all the challenges and the opportunities of our 
time that we really – the American people are not at a point now 
where they are going to be supportive of more drama surrounding 
the political process,” he said.

In 2003, ABC News’ Barbara Walters referenced numerous Clinton 
scandals from Whitewater to Travelgate and the death of Hillary 
law partner Vince Foster in an interview with then-Sen. Clinton.

Walters asked Hillary, “How did you get in this mess where your 
whole credibility is being questioned?”

Hillary’s response: “Oh, I ask myself that every day, Barbara, 
because it’s very surprising and confusing to me.”

With Hillary making another run for president, don’t get caught 
up in the lies and spin! In “Hillary Unhinged: In Her Own 
Words,” find out who the true Hillary is with this raw and 
humorous collection of quotes that pitilessly underscores her 
hypocrisy

With the prospect of another “two-for-one” Clinton presidency 
looming, is America ready for a repeat of the Bill and Hillary 
“drama” in the White House?

If, as psychologists say, “The best predictor of future behavior 
is past behavior,” then a fresh look at the top 20 scandals 
involving Hillary is in order.

18) Hill ca$hes in: Iranian fundraising

As WND recently reported, Hillary received funds from an arm of 
the Iranian government and hired a convicted Iranian-American 
multimillionaire with ties to Tehran as her national campaign 
finance director in 2008. The Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton 
Foundation accepted $30,000 between April 2005 and March 2006 
and another contribution of between $25,000 and $50,000 in 2008 
from the New York-based Alavi Foundation, which U.S. government 
prosecutors have identified as an arm of the Iranian government.

For her 2008 presidential campaign, Clinton hired Hassan Nemazee 
as her national campaign finance director, who was known for his 
efforts to normalize relations with the theocratic Iranian 
regime. In 2010, Nemazee pleaded guilty to running a Ponzi 
scheme in which he obtained $292 million in fraudulent loans. He 
was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

In his explosive bestseller, “Clinton Cash,” Peter Schweizer 
follows the Clinton money trail, revealing the connection 
between their personal fortune, their “close personal friends,” 
the Clinton Foundation, foreign nations and some of the highest 
ranks of government.

Rachel Ehrenfeld, director of the American Center for Democracy, 
spelled out the problem with the Clinton Foundation receiving 
funds from the Alavi Foundation in a Jan. 5, 2009, article 
published by Forbes.

“Alavi’s contribution [in 2008] to Clinton came just two days 
after the Treasury Department also designated Alavi’s partner, 
the New York-based Assa Corp., as a terrorist entity, and the 
New York Southern District’s attorney seized and forfeited its 
assets,” Ehrenfeld wrote.

Sounds like Obama and his Hollywood butthole buddies...
