The Clintons' War on Women (45 page)

Indeed, the next generation of Clinton doesn’t seem to be any better than the last.

CHAPTER 27

THE COVER-UP QUEEN

C
an the Clintons seize power for four more years? Will the 2016 election offer us a “heads we win, tails you lose” election between Hillary and Jeb Bush?

One thing to take into consideration is the advanced age of the Clintons. Senator Mitch McConnell recently quipped that Hillary’s prospective run would be a “rerun of
The Golden Girls
.”

When Hillary tried to tap into the youth vote by announcing her candidacy on social media, the decision was greeted with derision by many in the Twitterverse. @faughtd tweeted “@ReadyForHillary we don’t let Grandma touch the TV remote. Why would we let Hillary have access to our nuclear armament? She’s too OLD.” @libertynowUSA joined the masses asking “Why is Hillary wasting everyone’s time with trust worthy ratings below 35%. She needs to go away. We need leadership not an old bag that lies.”

Given the trail of intimidation, lies, campaign finance manipulation, self-dealing, perjury, and the use of violence to beat witnesses, the Clintons have dodged many bullets. One would think they would
take their riches, public esteem, and money and ride off into the sunset.

Had Lance Armstrong retired he would have kept his money, fame, and reputation intact. Like the Clintons, when his involvement with drugs began to leak, he used heavy-handed detectives to silence those who could give him up. Lance reached for the gold one time too many. And so it is with Hillary Clinton.

In fact Bill himself may be the driving force behind the 2016 bid that Hillary herself has reservations about. “He says he can roll her,” a longtime Clinton advisor told me. “What do you mean?” I asked. “Run the government, take over,” he said.

So what drives the Clintons comeback attempt to win the White House for a sixty-seven-year-old grandmother? The answer is greed and power lust. They can’t resist another grab for the trappings and opportunities of power, and Hillary feels that the prize that eluded her in 2012 is rightfully hers. Hillary is the inspiration for Claire Underwood, the bloodless and ambitious wife of President Frank Underwood in Netflix’s original series
House of Cards
. It has always been her intention to succeed her husband in the White House. Kevin Spacey’s character is mostly based on Lyndon Johnson, and the directors use vivid LBJ imageries in paintings and signed photos in the background of the Underwood White House to telegraph this fact.

Even Bill, always sharp-witted and quick to parry a point or stance, has stumbled and shown his age recently.

The former president attacked Peter Schweizer’s exposé, exclaiming there was “not a shred of evidence” of unscrupulous dealings in the Clinton Foundation when malfeasance and corruption was evident. Clinton’s ill-timed parry was quickly pointed out as such by the media. When Bill was questioned about his unprecedented speaking fees, he unwisely stated that he needed to keep making speeches “to pay the bills.” This from a man who with his wife has earned $25 million from speeches in the last year and a half.

A
recent article revealed that the odd missteps by the notoriously slick discourser are a result of dementia. “The truth is Bill has lost it,” a longtime Clinton family friend told the
Globe
. “There are days when he believes he’s still President and gives his aides orders to place calls to leaders around the world—then he completely forgets doing it. Other days, he can’t remember ever being President! He frequently asks his driver to take him home to the White House, but Hillary has issued explicit orders to ignore him and just take him to their house in Chappaqua. On his last visit to his presidential library in Little Rock where he has a luxury apartment, he couldn’t remember that he was once the governor of Arkansas. It’s all very sad.”

The magazine also exposed one of Hillary’s dark secrets in another recent edition: her thirst for the bottle.

“Hillary’s drinking got totally out of control,” said one of Hillary’s friends, whom the presidential hopeful turned to for help. “The stress of her high-pressure political career, never-ending scandals and her worsening health have sent her into life-threatening booze hell. She turned to drink to drown her fears. Hillary tries to hide her problem like she lies about so many things. But she has repeatedly suffered blackouts. When she comes around, she has no idea where she has been or what she has said or done. She’s not fit to be President.”

These are not the nimble liars of the '90s. Yet they are still crafty.

Hillary is the queen of the cover-up and her experience hiding evidence, destroying documents, and lying almost defies belief. The erasure of the hard evidence that she was granting governmental favors, trade agreements, and multi-million dollar defense contracts to the big donors of the Clinton Foundation are undeniable. Unlike Richard Nixon, she has destroyed the evidence.

Let’s review Hillary’s game of “keep away” when it comes to covering up her misdeeds.

Although Hillary’s handlers believe she can still be elected president with the minority of voters believing she is honest and truthful, in fact her credibility is her principal problem in 2016.

When Hillary Clinton or her cronies attack this book as partisan or “old news” or seek to dismiss the very serious charges against them they will whine that they are being held to a higher standard. But in fact, particularly in the case of Jerry Parks, they may be getting away with murder.

As Hillary’s now-infamous email scandal demonstrates, where Madam Secretary purposely used private email to conduct government business and escape disclosure requirements, telling the truth is outside her DNA. For instance, during the sole time Hillary publicly addressed this issue at the UN press conference, she claimed that some of the deleted emails were between Bill and her. Yet the
Wall Street Journal
reported only hours before the press conference that the impeached former president has “sent a grand total of two emails during his entire life.” She also got busted lying about having one computer device when she used two.

Hillary’s lies caught up to her during her failed 2008 campaign. In the heat of the primary against Obama, Hillary repeatedly said in a March 17 speech and several interviews that she was caught under sniper fire in 1996 as First Lady and “ran for cover under hostile fire shortly after her plane landed in Tuzla, Bosnia.” Eight days later, a video became public that showed “Clinton arriving on the tarmac under no visible duress, and greeting a child who offers her a copy of a poem.” Further, more than “100 news stories from the time documented no security threats to the First Lady.”

In January 2001, a scandal broke when Hillary was caught taking artwork and furniture from the White House. She claimed that these items were given to Bill and her as gifts during their years in the White House. However, less than a month later on February 8, Hillary agreed to return $28,000 worth of gifts to the White House and pay in restitution $86,000 for china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas, and other items, which was only half of the value.

If Hillary was able to make an $86,000 vanity purchase in February 2008, then why did she describe herself as “dead broke” upon leaving the White House?

Of course, Hillary has often lied about her biography for convenience as well. Since at least 1995, Hillary claimed that her mother named her after Sir Edmund Hillary, the first climber to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Bill even mentioned this anecdote in his autobiography. The only problem, Hillary was born in 1947 and Sir Edmund did complete his historic feat until 1953. Perhaps Hillary’s mother was clairvoyant?

As Roger Stone revealed in his book
Nixon’s Secrets
, Hillary was fired from the 1974 House Impeachment Committee shortly after she took, and failed, the DC bar examination. Hillary authored memos demanding Nixon yield his tapes (a little irony there?) and that the president was not entitled to a lawyer in the impeachment proceeding. Asked why she was fired, Majority Staff Director Jerry Zeifman said, “Because she was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest
lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

Hillary has no credibility for her denial when confronted with her real record, and that’s a problem. As a serial liar she will get caught lying again.

Reporters like the
New York Times’
Amy Chozick mistakenly think that Hillary Clinton has a lock on women voters that will send her to the White House. As a veteran reader of polling data, I think this is incorrect. More than 50 percent of voters were not alive during the Clinton presidency and their impression of Hillary is generally favorable but not very deep. I believe that when women learn about Hillary’s war on women they will turn on her.

The Clintons’ rapid response and standard MO is denial and counterattack. Hillary and her hysterical female supporters will claim that any attack that is launched on her by a mom is misogyny and sexist. That is why it is crucial that those women violated by Bill Clinton and then violated again in the cover-up must speak. Paula Jones was assaulted by Bill Clinton in a Little Rock hotel room. When she refused Clinton’s advances he dropped his trousers pointed at his erect penis and said, “Kiss it.” Jones was paid $850,000 not to discuss the case publicly.

The
Daily Mail
reported that Paula Corbin Jones surfaced in 2015. This is a woman Hillary Clinton called a “whore” because she was unfortunate enough to have been sexually assaulted by Hillary’s husband.

In an exclusive interview with the
Daily Mail Online,
Jones delivers her own verdict on Hillary’s bid to become president, saying that her husband’s attitude towards women disqualifies Bill from re-entering the White House—while what she calls Hillary’s “lies” disqualify her from the Oval Office. “There is no way that she did not know what was going on, that women were being abused and accosted by her husband,” she says. “They have both lied.”

Jones, forty-eight, as we have seen, became a national figure when in 1994 she sued President Clinton for sexual harassment after an
incident in an Arkansas hotel room three years earlier. Her lawsuit led to Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky being uncovered and led to Clinton being impeached, accused of lying about the nature of his relationship with the White House intern.

But with Hillary Clinton vying for the Democratic nomination, Jones has come out swinging with her own personal take on the White House bid. “She should not be running with the terrible history they have,” she told the
Daily Mail Onlin
e. She continued, “They have both lied. He does not have a right to be in the White House to serve the people the way he treated women, sexually harassing women. There were many women that came out and spoke out about what he did to them. He does not have a place in the White House to serve the American people.”
