   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.   
      
   21) Peter Franklin Paul: Another Hillary friend goes to prison   
      
   As WND reported, Hillary was named in a lawsuit brought by Peter   
   Franklin Paul for allegedly directing to her 2000 Senate   
   campaign an illegal, in-kind contribution from Paul that   
   included a fundraiser at the exclusive Spago restaurant in   
   Beverly Hills, a tea hosted at the Beverly Hills home of   
   socialite Cynthia Gershman and a lavish, A-list, million-dollar-   
   plus Hollywood gala honoring Bill Clinton. At the trial of   
   Clinton’s finance director for the 2000 senatorial campaign,   
   David Rosen, the government told the jury Paul personally gave   
   more than $1.2 million to produce the events.   
      
   Paul, a former business partner of Spider-Man creator Stan Lee   
   who sued Bill for fraud and accused Hillary of hiding nearly $2   
   million in Senate campaign donations, alleged they sabotaged the   
   media company he formed with Lee to get out of a $17 million   
   agreement made with Bill Clinton to serve as an international   
   promoter for the company after he left the White House. Paul was   
   indicted in June 2001 for manipulating the price of the stock in   
   his company, Stan Lee Media, as it was collapsing. A judge   
   determined Paul didn’t profit from the attempt to save his   
   company, but he accepted a plea bargain and served three years   
   in prison. WND reported in 2012 that Paul charged Attorney   
   General Eric Holder and his Justice Department obstructed   
   justice by reneging on a sentencing agreement.   
      
   “Hillary is carrying out her promise to finally destroy my   
   family to punish me for exposing the corruption that elected her   
   to the Senate,” Paul told WND at the time.   
      
   The Clintons were effusive in their praise of Paul until just   
   days after an August 2000 Hollywood gala, when the Washington   
   Post reported Paul’s 1970s criminal convictions in a story that   
   accused the senator of being soft on crime. Clinton continued,   
   however, to quietly solicit money from Paul and sent him letters   
   expressing friendship. Paul has extensive video corroborating   
   his contention he and Hillary spent hours together and sat next   
   to each other at the fundraising events.   
      
   Sounds like Obama and his Democrat friends...
