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.

8) Chinagate: Sale of high-tech secrets

Chinagate, documented by Judicial Watch, was uncovered by 
Judicial Watch founder Larry Klayman. Technology companies 
allegedly made donations of millions of dollars to various 
Democratic Party entities, including President Bill Clinton’s 
1996 re-election campaign, in return for permission to sell high-
tech secrets to China.

Bernard Schwartz and his Loral Space & Communication Ltd. later 
allegedly “helped China to identify the cause of [a rocket 
failure], thereby advancing China’s missile program and 
threatening U.S. national security,” according to records.

In a 2013 column titled “Proof Hillary isn’t fit to be 
president,” Klayman wrote:

Not to be outdone by her prior scandals, Hillary … masterminded 
a scheme whereby the Clinton-Gore presidential campaign of 1996 
took bribes from communist Chinese banks and their government to 
bankroll the president’s and the Democratic Party’s re-election 
efforts when it appeared, due to their low standing in the 
polls, that all the stops needed to be pulled out. It was the 
lawsuit that I brought against Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, 
where at Hillary’s instruction, he literally sold seats on 
Department trade missions to China and elsewhere, which 
principally uncovered this. In late 1996 and early 1997, the 
scandal had burgeoned to such a level that joint congressional 
hearings were empaneled, ultimately to be shut down when 
Democrats uncovered illegal fundraising by some Republicans. The 
two parties, faced with mutual assured destruction, simply took 
an exit stage left.

However, I soldiered on with my lawsuit. And, while I uncovered 
a lot about Bonnie and Clyde and their Chinese ‘friends,’ this 
scandal ultimately took back seat to the Monica Lewinsky 
scandal, since the media preferred sex to foreign espionage and 
graft.

Hillary and Bill were ironically saved by Monica, who became the 
lightening rod drawing attention away to what at the time was 
perhaps the biggest scandal – Chinagate – in American history.

Sounds like Obama and the United States Navy....
