And Hillary wants to fight for the poor and middle class? ROFLMMFAO!
As a 27-year old
staff attorney for the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate
investigation, Hillary Rodham was fired by her supervisor, lifelong Democrat
Jerry Zeifman. When asked why he fired
her, rumor has it that Zeifman said: ‘Because
she was a liar. She was an unethical,
dishonest lawyer, she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the
House, the rules of the Committee, and the rules of confidentiality.’
However, according to
truthorfiction.com, and Zeifman’s book, ‘Hillary’s Pursuit of Power,’ and
comments that he made on his website, which is no longer active, Zeifman has
been very critical of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s actions during the Watergate
investigation, and in the years that followed.
Jerry Zeifman said he
supervised Hillary Rodham Clinton as she worked on the team that worked on the
Watergate impeachment inquiry, and that during the investigation Hillary
Clinton had ‘…engaged in a variety of self-serving, unethical practices in
violation of House rules.’
Specifically, Jerry
Zeifman said Hillary Rodham Clinton and others wanted Richard Nixon to remain
in office so Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy would have a better chance of being
elected president. Zeifman said a young lawyer who shared an office with
Clinton came to him in August of 1974 to apologize that he and Clinton had lied
to him. The lawyer, John Labovitz, is quoted as 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.’
Jerry Zeifman also
said that Hillary Rodham Clinton regularly consulted with Ted Kennedy’s chief
political strategist, which was a violation of House rules. Zeifman said in
addition to helping Ted Kennedy win the presidency, Democrats also didn’t want
Nixon to face an impeachment trial because they feared he might bring up abuses
of office by President John Kennedy as part of his defense.
But while Jerry
Zeifman has been consistent in his criticism of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s work
on the Watergate investigation, circumstances surrounding her termination are
less clear. In a 1999 interview with the
Scripps Howard News Service, Zeifman said he didn’t have the power to fire
Clinton, or else he would have.
Now
comes the recycling this month of another Clinton tall tale: that shortly
before her 1975 marriage to Bill Clinton, she decided in a fit of patriotic
fervor and dedication to “public service” to stroll into a recruiter’s office
in Arkansas and join the Marine Corps.It’s
an anecdote she trots out to charm military audiences, whether it’s a group on
Capitol Hill in 1994, or, most recently, to veterans in Derry, NH.“He
looks at me and goes, ‘Um, how old are you,’ ” Clinton recalled at the New
Hampshire event on Nov. 10. “I said, ‘Well, I’m 26. I will be 27.’ And he goes,
‘Well, that is kind of old for us.’ And then he says to me, and this is what
gets me, ‘Maybe the dogs will take you,’ meaning the Army,” she added.Yeah,
right. Never mind that the term is “dogface,” used to refer to the Army
infantry. And never mind as well that, given the tenor of the times, the
Marines or any other service would have taken young Ms. Rodham in a heartbeat,
especially given their need for lawyers.
The
Clintons were married in 1975. Clinton
was elected governor of Arkansas in 1978.
When Mr. Clinton
first moved into the Governor's office, Arkansas's education rankings were not
just at the bottom. One study, produced at the University of Florida in 1978,
concluded that Arkansas schools were the very worst in the nation.
In
1983, Bill Clinton named Hillary as head of Arkansas Education Standards
Committee to improve the state’s education system. Under her leadership,
Arkansas went from 47th nationwide to…. 48th.
Education
creds…… not so much of an accomplishment ……..
Still in Arkansas....
Hillary Rodham Clinton was allowed to order 10 cattle futures contracts, normally a $12,000 investment, in her first commodity trade in 1978 although she had only $1,000 in her account at the time. In about 10 months of trading, she made nearly $100,000! [At that rate, maybe she could single handedly fix the national debt – especially when she said she ‘learned trading’ by reading the Wall Street Journal. Hmmmmmmmm]
Hillary
Clinton is remembered for being named by her husband early in his presidency to
lead the President’s Task Force on Health Care Reform. She was the first U.S.
first lady to direct such an undertaking. She oversaw research, fact-finding
trips, financial reports, and a number of committees composed of medical,
insurance and governmental officials, consumer rights advocates, and other interested
parties. When their proposal was attacked as being too complicated or leading
to ‘socialized medicine,’ the Clinton administration decided not to push for a
vote in either the Senate or House, and the plan was essentially abandoned in
September 1994.
Nationalizing
healthcare (i.e. creating a nation of socialized medicine like Obama ultimately
has given us)…. Hmmm…. Not a stellar performance for her first ‘national’
job. When Bill Clinton was president, he
allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she
couldn’t even get a vote in a DEMOCRAT controlled Congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about
$13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts. In fact, it was
HillaryCare that ultimately cost the Democrat party control of the House and
Senate in 1994 (the Gingrich Revolution)….. scratch healthcare as an
accomplishment.
Then
President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney
general. Her first two selections were
Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from
consideration. Next she chose Janet Reno
– husband Bill described her selection as ‘my worst mistake.’ Some may not remember that Reno made the
decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco,
Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.
Husband
Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights
Commission. Lani Guanier was her
selection. When a little probing led to
the discovered of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn
from consideration.
Apparently
a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more
recommendations. She chose former law
partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White
House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well: Hubbel went to
prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to
resign.
[Guess
it’s hard to be judge someone’s character when you have none of your own.]
Many
younger voters will have no knowledge of ‘Travelgate.’ Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel
contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office
refused to comply. She managed to have
them reported to the FBI and fired. This
ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month
investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that
of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury
acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.
Still
not convinced of her ineptness?
Hillary was allowed to recommend a close
Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House
security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about
900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by
White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing
Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White
House. Following this debacle, the FBI
closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service
to seven presidents.
Early in Bill's campaign and first term in office, women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and even rape. Hillary was put in charge of the ‘bimbo eruption’ and scandal
defense. One of her more notable
decisions in the debacle:
She urged her husband not to settle the Paula (Corbin) Jones lawsuit. After the Starr
investigation they rushed to settle with Ms. Jones.
Hillary continued to run the ‘nuts and sluts’
office when Bill Clinton’s sexual infidelities continued making headlines.
‘Hillary Clinton also
had political aspirations, which could explain why she played an active role in
tearing apart her husband’s accusers.
Indeed, Hillary Clinton is the ‘war on women’. She demonstrates that
power and control are virtues that she holds dear and she will fight for them,
even if it means degrading victims of sexual abuse and sexual harassment.’
[UPDATED 9/15/15 TO INCLUDE A VIDEO OF HILLARY CLAIMING TO SUPPORT AND BELIEVE WOMEN WHO SAY THEY ARE SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT] Remember Hillary's testimony regarding her Rose Law Firm billing records? Nearly every answer (56 actually) was 'I don't recall'....... well, her memory is apparently toast, because she forgets NOW all of Bill's indiscretions...
For
the uninformed…..Bill Clinton has been charged with various types of sexual
assault since his days as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford 30 years ago.
Eileen Wellstone, 19-year-old English woman who said Clinton
sexually assaulted her after she met him at a pub near the Oxford where the
future President was a student in 1969. A retired State Department employee,
who asked not to be identified, confirmed that he spoke with the family of the
girl and filed a report with his superiors. Clinton admitted having sex with
the girl, but claimed it was consensual. The victim's family declined to pursue
the case;
In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale
University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, a law student at the
college. No charges were filed, but retired campus policemen contacted by Capitol Hill Blue confirmed the
incident. The woman, tracked down by Capitol Hill Blue last week, confirmed the incident, but
declined to discuss it further and would not give permission to use her name;
In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas
complained that then-law school instructor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her
from leaving his office during a conference. She said he groped her and forced
his hand inside her blouse. She complained to her faculty advisor who
confronted Clinton, but Clinton claimed the student ''came on'' to him. The
student left the school shortly after the incident. Reached at her home in
Texas, the former student confirmed the incident, but declined to go on the
record with her account. Several former students at the University have
confirmed the incident in confidential interviews and said there were other
reports of Clinton attempting to force himself on female students;
JuanitaBroaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton's gubernatorial
campaign, said he raped her in 1978. Mrs. Broaddrick suffered a bruised and
torn lip, which she said she suffered when Clinton bit her during the rape;
From 1978-1980, during Clinton's first term as governor of Arkansas, state
troopers assigned to protect the governor were aware of at least seven
complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself
on them sexually. One retired state trooper said in an interview that the
common joke among those assigned to protect Clinton was ‘who's next?’. One
former state trooper said other troopers would often escort women to the
governor's hotel room after political events, often more than one an evening;
Carolyn Moffet, a legal secretary in Little Rock in 1979, said she met
then-governor Clinton at a political fundraiser and shortly thereafter received
an invitation to meet the governor in his hotel room. ‘I was escorted there by
a state trooper. When I went in, he was sitting on a couch, wearing only an
undershirt. He pointed at his penis and told me to suck it. I told him I didn't
even do that for my boyfriend and he got mad, grabbed my head and shoved it
into his lap. I pulled away from him and ran out of the room.’ Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who
won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to
have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown. Last year, Ward, who
is now married with the last name of Gracen (from her first marriage), told an
interviewer she did have sex with Clinton but said it was consensual. Close
friends of Ward, however, say she still maintains privately that Clinton forced
himself on her.
Paula Corbin (Jones), an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment
case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the
then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case
with Jones recently with an $850,000 cash payment.
Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says
Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a
political trip to the nation's capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and
stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas
State Trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if
everything was all right, at which point Clinton released her and she fled the
room. When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her
mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. Miss James has since married and left
Washington. Reached at her home last week, the former Miss James said she later
learned that other women suffered the same fate at Clinton's hands when he was
in Washington during his Presidential run.
Christy Zercher, a flight attendant on Clinton's leased campaign plane in
1992, says Presidential candidate Clinton exposed himself to her, grabbed her
breasts and made explicit remarks about oral sex. A video shot on board the
plane by ABC News shows an obviously inebriated Clinton with his hand between another
young flight attendant's legs. Zercher said later in an interview that White
House attorney Bruce Lindsey tried to pressure her into not going public about
the assault.
Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed
her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an
Oval Office meeting in November, 1993. Willey, who told her story in a 60 Minutes interview, became a
target of a White House-directed smear campaign after she went public.
It all started with a
little real estate deal 20 years ago. In 1978, then-Arkansas Attorney General
Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, joined a partnership with James and Susan
McDougal to buy 220 acres of riverfront land and form the Whitewater
Development Corp.
The goal was to sell
lots for vacation homes. But the partnership did poorly and finally dissolved
in 1992, leaving the Clintons reporting a net loss of more than $40,000.
James McDougal also
owned a savings and loan association, for which Hillary Clinton did legal work.
Due in part to a series of fraudulent loans, McDougal's Madison Savings and
Loan was one of many thrifts that went bust at taxpayer expense in the 1980s.
Some Clinton
associates clearly broke the law during the Arkansas years. The McDougals, most
notably, were both found guilty of fraud.
Over time, the
investigation known as ‘Whitewater’ grew well beyond allegations related to the
Clintons' financial and legal dealings in Arkansas. It also encompasses the
Clintons' responses to the allegations – and such unrelated events as the
firing of White House travel office clerks.
Some of the key kinks
in the Whitewater tangle:
·A fraudulent $300,000 federally backed loan to Susan
McDougal, some of which went into Whitewater Development Corp. David Hale, a former
Little Rock judge whose company issued the loan, told investigators that Bill
Clinton pressured him to do so.
·The mysterious disappearance and rediscovery of billing
records showing the extent of Hillary Clinton's legal work for McDougal's
savings and loan. Missing and under subpoena for two years, they turned up in
January 1996 in the Clintons' private quarters at the White House.
·The firing of seven members of the White House travel office
in 1993, possibly to make room for Clinton friends – followed by an FBI
investigation of the office, allegedly opened under pressure from the White
House to justify the firings. Sometimes called ‘Travelgate.’
·The 1993 APPARENT suicide of White House counsel Vincent
Foster, hard on the heels of the travel-office imbroglio and his filing of
delinquent Whitewater Corp. tax returns. (Vince Foster was found dead in Fort
Marcy Park off the George Washington Parkway in Virginia, outside Washington,
D.C., on July 20, 1993. His death was ruled a suicide by multiple official
investigations, but remains a subject of conspiracy theories – he was found lying
on his back with a gun in his hand yet there was no GSR ON his hand…..)
·The collection of hundreds of confidential FBI files on
prominent Republicans by a minor White House operative in 1993 and 1994.
Sometimes called ‘Filegate.’
·The more than $700,000 paid to former associate attorney
general Webster L. Hubbell, most of it from friends of President Clinton and
Democratic Party supporters, just as the former law partner of Hillary Clinton
was coming under intense scrutiny by Whitewater investigators.
Hillary
refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of
Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money
was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky which led to Bill lying about and later
admitting his affairs. ['I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky...]
Hillary’s
devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for lying
under oath to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of
Representatives.
Hillary
avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr
investigation by repeating, ‘I do not recall,’ ‘I have no recollection,’ and ‘I
don’t know’ a total of 56 times, while under oath.
Take a break here and listen to some of Hillary Clinton's lies...
After leaving the
White House in 2001, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in
White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.
Hillary
and Bill moved to New York so she could run for the U.S. Senate… During her
tenure, she voted with Vermont’s Senator Bernie Saunders (a recent entrant into
the 2016 presidential race) – who is AN AVOWED SOCIALIST – 93% of the
time. Interesting.
FOR YEARS, Hillary and the left have repeatedly accused the Republicans of waging a War on Women, yet
during her short stint in the Senate, her female employees were paid 28% less
than their male counterparts….. so this makes her a DEFENDER of women? An ADVOCATE for women??? Ummmm…. Not so much…. Sorta like she defended
all of Bill’s victims during their time in the White House? Did Hillary have her own PERSONAL war on
women, destroying them after Bill finished with them?
Fast-forward
to Hillary’s time as Secretary of State…
"The State Department misplaced and lost some $6 billion due
to the improper filing of contracts during the past six years, mainly during
the tenure of former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, according to a newly
released Inspector General report."
Hillary’s
travels….. I guess this could loosely be classified as an accomplishment… Seems
she was trying to get in as many air miles as Michelle…
Hillary Clinton was
many things as Secretary of State. One of the most notable, however, was ‘well-traveled.’
During her four years as the nation's top diplomat -- and particularly during
her final year in that post -- Clinton fashioned herself as something of a
George Clooney of global affairs, spending almost as much time up in the air as
she did on the ground.
Travels with Hillary
In the process, she
broke records. In July of 2012, during a trip to Finland, Clinton met Madeleine
Albright's most-countries-traveled-to mark -- the record, at the time -- of 98
countries. She then surpassed it with a trip to Latvia. The new secretary then
went on to visit 12 more countries, for a closing total of 112. If you're keeping track at home, that equates
to an average of 28 countries per each year of Clinton's tenure.
As our secretary of
state, Clinton visited 112
countries, helping to repair a badly damaged U.S. reputation. She advocated an expanded role in global
economic issues for the State Department and cited the need for an increased U.S. diplomatic presence,
especially in Iraq, where the Defense Department had conducted diplomatic
missions. Clinton unveiled the
Global Hunger and Food Security program, prevailed
over Vice President Biden to send an additional 21,000 troops to Afghanistan, saved the signing of a Turkish-Armenian
accord, and assisted the president
with major decisions as to the U.S. position with regard to the revolution in
Egypt and the decision to use military force in Libya. [Not sure the items
in bold can be considered
accomplishments…]
Remember the
rationale for Hillary Clinton’s infamous ‘reset button’ with Russia, given to
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov? Hillary and Barack Obama claimed that
the issues with US-Russian relations were created by George W. Bush and
Hillary’s predecessor Condoleezza Rice thank to the previous administration’s
supposed cowboy diplomacy, and that Hillary and Obama would set things right,
both with Russia and with the rest of the world. Bloomberg asked Lavrov why the
reset hasn’t worked, and Lavrov bluntly says the March 2009 reset ‘was the
invention of Hillary Clinton.’ In fact,
Lavrov says, he and Vladimir Putin had ‘very good personal relations’ with both
Bush and Rice.
Despite appeasement by Obama and the White House that went on for years — the
withdrawal of the missile defense system in eastern Europe, the ‘more
flexibility after the election’ comment to Dmitry Medvedev — Putin ramped up military aggression, stole
Crimea and then half of Ukraine, and now has his air force making provocative
fly-bys against NATO and US pilots on a regular basis. [Sounds like a
failure to me!]
Hillary’s
WORST but most significant during her time as Secretary of State was allowing
four Americans to be slaughtered like fish in a barrel in Benghazi, and then
boldly LIED to try to cover up her crime, blaming their deaths on a VIDEO no one
had ever seen. I won’t rehash that here
because anyone with a brain knows what she did AND DID NOT do on that fateful
night. THIS IS THE HILLARY CLINTON
LEGACY no matter how hard she tries to use her favorite chestnut: ‘THIS IS OLD NEWS’… Actually the ‘old news’ is how great the
Clintons are at covering their illegal tracks! [And this woman wants to protect
American citizens in THIS country, when she wouldn’t even send help to save
FOUR Americans in Benghazi!!!! Spare
me!]
Now
we are exposed to the destruction of possibly incriminating emails, and the
illegal destruction of emails on an illegal personal server kept in her private
home while Hillary was Secretary of State.
Additionally
the tip of another ‘TITANIC’ iceberg is emerging in the ‘pay to play’ schemes
of the Clinton Foundation. Hillary was pedaling
influence as SecState. Foreign countries
paid Bill up to $750,000 for speeches [WTH could he possibly have to say that
would be worth that!!!] during Hillary’s time in the State Department. One blatant example now coming to light is
her ‘dealings’ with Sweden.
Bill
Clinton's foundation set up a fundraising arm in Sweden that collected $26
million in donations at the same time that country was lobbying Hillary Rodham
Clinton's State Department to forgo sanctions that threatened its thriving
business with Iran, according to interviews and documents obtained by The
Washington Times.
The
Swedish entity, called the William J. Clinton Foundation Insamlingsstiftelse,
was never disclosed to or cleared by State Department ethics officials, even
though one of its largest sources of donations was a Swedish
government-sanctioned lottery.
As
the money flowed to the foundation from Sweden, Mrs.
Clinton's team in Washington declined to blacklist any Swedish firms despite
warnings from career officials at the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm that Sweden was
growing its economic ties with Iran and potentially undercutting Western
efforts to end Tehran's rogue nuclear program, diplomatic cables show.
‘Sweden
does not support implementing tighter financial sanctions on Iran’ and believes
‘more stringent financial standards could hurt Swedish exports,’ one such cable
from 2009 alerted Mrs. Clinton's office in Washington.
A
spokesman for Mrs. Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign declined comment. [And we all KNOW, she isn’t talking!]
Separately,
U.S. intelligence was reporting that Sweden's second-largest employer,
telecommunications giant Ericsson AB, was pitching cellphone tracking
technology to Iran that could be used by the country's security services,
officials told The Times.
By
the time Mrs. Clinton left office in 2013, the Clinton Foundation
Insamlingsstiftelse had collected millions of dollars inside Sweden for his
global charitable efforts and Mr. Clinton personally pocketed a record $750,000
speech fee from Ericsson, one of the firms at the center of the sanctions
debate.
This
appears to be ONE onion, only beginning to be peeled away one stinky layer at
the time. The CLINTON Foundation refuses
to reveal its FOREIGN donors, and they are having to refile with the IRS for
failing to list contributions.
In
mid-April, The New York Times reported that
while Clinton was secretary of state, a Russian energy company called Rosatom
was working to take over a Canadian company, Uranium One, that had stakes to
uranium around the world, including some in America.
“As the Russians
gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from
2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton
Foundation,” the Times wrote. “Uranium One’s chairman used his family
foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million.”
“Those contributions
were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton
had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors,” the
Times added.
The Times noted the
Obama administration was making promises that it would be no problem selling
the uranium stakes to Russia. Additionally, Bill Clinton was then paid $500,000
for a speech in Moscow, which was paid by “a Russian investment bank with links
to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.” Russia was allowed to purchase uranium while
Hillary was SecState. [No big deal?
Just part of the recipe for a nuke.
No worries.]
In addition to
ongoing reports that dozens of companies were lobbying the State Department for
various reasons while Clinton was in office, they were giving money to the
Clinton Foundation at the same time.
The Wall Street
Journal reported that ‘at least 60 companies’ were doing this, and gave the
foundation ‘more than $26 million.’
According to the
Washington Post, Bill Clinton was paid $26 million in speaking fees by
companies that were also donating to the Clinton Foundation.
‘The amount, about
one-quarter of Clinton’s overall speaking income between 2001 and 2013,
demonstrates how closely intertwined Bill and Hillary Clinton’s charitable work
has become with their growing personal wealth,’ it said.
As
an aside, the much maligned Koch Brothers (Republican backers and
philanthropists) had $7,542,598 in charitable distributions in 2013. Their operating costs/fund management
overhead: $487,213
During
the same period, the Clinton Foundation distributed $8,865,052 for good works
worldwide. Their operating costs/fund
management overhead was a mere $84,684,494………… 8 TIME WHAT THEY ‘GAVE AWAY’
Please
raise your hand if this seems above board….. For my money, paltry as it is, I
believe both of the Clintons are breaking laws left and right, and have been
for years.
And
then there are the laws Hillary broke by having her own personal email server
in her home while she worked at State… the server containing emails SHE
DETERMINED WERE PERSONAL – 30,000 OF THEM, which she deleted. That scandal has only begun to bubble. It’s going to be a long, hot summer.
But
for her loyal fans – ‘what difference does it make?’
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE...
UPDATES
WILL BE ADDED HERE AS THEY HAPPEN….. 6/5/2015: UPDATE Hillary spoke to a small audience at the historically black Texas Southern University in Houston. She received the Barbara Jordan Public-Private Leadership Award. Her topic was how the Republicans are trying to suppress votes by requiring an ID card to vote. The press, in covering this even where Hillary did NOT take questions, had to show ID to get in to the event. Hypocrisy, thy name is Hillary Clinton.
Also - check this one - it's all there in pictures:
