   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.   
      
   2) Covering Bill’s dirty deeds   
      
   The Clintons have been accused of hiring private investigators   
   to not only dig up dirt on perceived adversaries – such as   
   Juanita Broaddrick, the woman allegedly raped by Bill, and other   
   abused women such as Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey and Paula   
   Jones – but to stalk, scare and threaten them. Willey asserts   
   Hillary was behind a campaign of intimidation and harassment   
   against her that fit a pattern employed against numerous other   
   women whose claims of sexual impropriety or assault by Bill   
   Clinton threatened the couple’s political fortunes.   
      
   As WND reported, Willey and her husband, Ed, were Democratic   
   activists who founded Virginians for Clinton and helped send   
   Bill and Hillary to the White House in 1992. While serving as a   
   volunteer in the White House and facing financial hard times,   
   Willey says she met with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office to   
   request a paying position. But instead of getting help, she   
   says, she was subjected to “nothing short of serious sexual   
   harassment.” Distraught, Willey fled Clinton’s presence, only to   
   discover that her husband Ed had committed suicide that same   
   tragic afternoon. Later, she was drawn “unwillingly” into the   
   Paula Jones lawsuit, the Ken Starr investigation and impeachment   
   proceedings.   
      
   Willey, author of the 2007 book, “Target: Caught in the   
   Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton,” has claimed the Clinton   
   tag team used mob-style intimidation campaign to keep her   
   silent, even purportedly breaking into her home to steal her   
   memoirs of the events.   
      
   Despite Bill’s 20 years of alleged and admitted extra-marital   
   relationships, Hillary famously came to his defense shortly   
   after the Monica Lewinsky affair broke in 1998. Asked about the   
   accusations, the then-first lady said, “Certainly, I believe   
   they’re false. Absolutely.”   
      
   Then, in a memorable interview with the “Today” show’s Matt   
   Lauer, she explained years of accusations by women such as   
   Willey, Gennifer Flowers and Dolly Kyle Browning: “Bill and I   
   have been accused of everything, including murder, by some of   
   the very same people who are behind these allegations,” she   
   said, pointing to a “vast right-wing conspiracy. … So from my   
   perspective this is part of a continuing political campaign   
   against my husband.”   
      
   What makes a book about Bill and Hillary Clinton so explosive   
   that someone would STEAL it? Kathleen Willey tells America the   
   shocking story in her book, “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of   
   Bill and Hillary Clinton.”   
      
   Later, however, when placed under oath, Bill Clinton admitted to   
   an affair with Flowers, as he did with Lewinksy. But Hillary’s   
   actions, Willey contends, indicated by word and deed that her   
   main concern was to ensure her husband’s proclivities didn’t   
   ruin their political careers.   
      
   In her book, Willey cites sources who contend Hillary began   
   engaging private investigators during their time in Arkansas so   
   she could head off any repercussions from her husband’s   
   behavior. The first to be dispatched were her own father and   
   brother when she committed to marry Bill, according to author
