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.

4) Filegate: FBI files on GOP enemies

The Clinton duo was involved in a scandal known as “Filegate” in 
which they illegally obtaining FBI files on perceived 
adversaries, most of whom served in previous Republican 
administrations.

“In an effort to discredit the women who charged President 
Clinton with sexual misconduct, personal files and papers were 
illegally obtained and released. The courts found, under the 
Privacy Act, that the privacy of Linda Tripp and Kathleen Willey 
had been violated,” a Judicial Watch report said, citing just a 
few of more than 900 relevant files. Judicial Watch said Hillary 
had been linked “directly to the center” of the controversy.

The scandal was first detected by the House Government Reform 
and Oversight Committee, which investigated the Clintons’ 
Travelgate caper. The committee found that the FBI files had 
been improperly accessed by Craig Livingstone, a former bar 
bouncer Hillary had hired to work in the White House Counsel’s 
Office. However, Hillary called the whole affair a “completely 
honest bureaucratic snafu.”

In “Whores: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment,” 
Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch Founder Larry Klayman details 
the stunning incompetence and corruption of Bill and Hillary 
Clinton

Sounds like Obama and Joe Biden...
