[Scouts-eng] Here they are: Hillary's 23 biggest scandals ever - 3) Looting the White House

[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.

3) Looting the White House

WHITE HOUSE-300When the Clintons left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 
in 2001, they reportedly vandalized and looted the White House. 
Hillary tried to ship furniture to the Clintons’ personal home 
in Chappaqua, New York. The Clintons came under fire when they 
reportedly tried to take $190,000 in gifts and furnishings from 
the presidential mansion. Additionally, the General Accounting 
Office, an investigative arm of Congress, reported that ”damage, 
theft, vandalism and pranks did occur in the White House 
complex” during the presidential transition from Bill Clinton to 
George W. Bush – including the theft of a presidential seal. 
According to the General Accounting Office, the cost of the 
White House vandalism reached about $14,000 and included $4,850 
to replace computer keyboards with damaged or missing “W” keys. 
The agency said some of the destruction was intentional, 
including glue smeared on desks, broken furniture, offices full 
of trash and graffiti in a men’s restroom stall that disparaged 
Bush. There were also missing doorknobs, medallions and office 
signs.

During their time in the White House, the Clintons also 
reportedly auctioned off and sold taxpayer-financed government 
goods and services in exchange for political campaign 
contributions and personal profit. Among the items sold by the 
Clintons, which Judicial Watch uncovered in various lawsuits, 
and the media and Congress in their investigations, were: 1) 
seats on overseas trade missions; 2) export licenses for high 
technology sales to communist China and elsewhere; 3) 
commissionerships and judgeships; 4) rides on Air Force One; 5) 
overnight stays in the White House’s Lincoln Bedroom; 6) graves 
at Arlington Cemetery; 7) meetings with key Clinton-Gore 
administration leaders; and other favors.

Sounds like Obama and Nancy Pelosi...
