   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.   
      
   20) Benghazi: 4 American lives lost   
      
   On Sept. 11, 2012, while Hillary was secretary of state, Islamic   
   militants attacked a U.S. special mission in Benghazi, Libya,   
   and murdered U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and U.S.   
   Foreign Service Information Management officer Sean Smith. Two   
   CIA contractors, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, were also killed.   
      
   In the months leading up to the attack, Hillary’s State   
   Department cut security in Libya.  Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.,   
   accused Hillary of “dereliction of duty” that led to the deaths   
   of the four Americans.   
      
   “The State Department not only failed to honor repeated requests   
   for additional security, but instead actually reduced security   
   in Libya,” Johnson wrote in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.   
   “Although no one can say with certainty, I firmly believe a   
   relatively small contingent of armed military guards would have   
   prevented the attack, and those four lives would not have been   
   lost.”   
      
   In “The REAL Benghazi Story: What the White House and Hillary   
   Don’t Want You to Know,” New York Times bestselling author Aaron   
   Klein provides shocking details about the central role Hillary   
   Clinton actually played in the scandal   
      
   As WND reported, a security decision finalized personally by   
   Hillary may have unwittingly doomed the Americans in Benghazi.   
   Hillary herself signed waivers that allowed the facility to be   
   legally occupied, since it did not meet the minimum official   
   security standards set by the State Department. The waiver   
   legally allowed the CIA annex to be housed in a location about   
   one mile from the U.S. special mission.   
      
   According to accounts from Benghazi survivors, the delayed   
   response time by those at the CIA annex may have cost the lives   
   of Stevens and the three other Americans killed at the special   
   mission. If the CIA annex had been co-located with the U.S.   
   special mission, a rapid response team would have been on site   
   during the initial assault in which Stevens was killed.   
   Clinton’s waiver allowed the CIA annex to be housed at the   
   separate location.   
   As WND also reported, State Department emails show Clinton knew   
   while the attack was under way that it was being carried out by   
   terrorists.   
      
   Judicial Watch has obtained previously classified documents from   
   the U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of State   
   revealing that DOD almost immediately reported that the attack   
   on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was planned and   
   carried out by al-Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood-linked   
   terrorists. A federal court ordered the government hand over   
   more than 100 pages of previously secret documents that showed   
   then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other senior Obama   
   officials were given reports within hours of the Sept. 11, 2012,   
   attack. In those memos, the DOD described details of a plan 10   
   days in advance “to kill as many Americans as possible.”   
      
   Nonetheless, Hillary falsely blamed it on “rage and violence   
   over an awful Internet video” when she spoke at a ceremony at   
   Andrews Air Force Base on Sept. 14, 2012, as the remains of the   
   four Americans were returned to the U.S.
