Hillary Clinton: Corruption and Politics
cnn.com

From Benghazi to the Clinton foundation, and private emails and the silencing of her husbands rape victims, even lying about being under sniper fire when getting off a plane in Bosnia. If you want to know more about scandals through the Clinton foundation and other parts of Bill and Hillary's life just read Peter Schweizer's book "Clinton Cash" it truly opened my eyes. Hillary Clinton is nowhere close to short of controversy. In her time in politics, virtually none of it has been clean and many people think Hillary Clinton is a name synonymous with corruption. Even with countless acts of wrongdoing Hillary has somehow every time escaped prosecution.

The latest of these scandals coming to light through FBI investigations into Hillary and the use of her private email server. In this investigation, some things that Hillary did while in her position of Secretary of State came to light. The emails released showed that Hillary had directly lied about Benghazi, telling the families that the attack was because of a video, while later telling others that it was a pre planned and coordinated attack. There were then three major lies that came out after the FBI completed their investigation into Hillary and her email server. Hillary said the following three statements under oath and they were found to be false, which means Hillary Clinton directly committed perjury.

1. "Let me repeat what I have repeated for many months now, I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified." - this was proved false when FBI Director James Comey stated that 110 emails and 52 email chains contained information that was classified, with his direct quote being “That’s not true. … There was classified material emailed” this is a LIE under oath. But if this is not enough to convince, let's move on.

2. Hillary said she set up the private server so that she could limit her emails to using one device - this was proved false when the director while testifying before the House Oversight Committee said that “She used multiple devices.”

3. The third lie to point out is that Hillary stated she had returned all work related emails to those investigating. This also proved to be untrue when Director Comey “No, we found work-related emails, thousands that were not returned."

These three lies, as well as a host of others, were committed under oath. This, in fact, was perjury and is a blatant felony. So why does Hillary get off without any punishment, not having to face any consequences, while still being allowed to run for the highest office in the land? The answer is simple. Hillary Clinton is a corrupt politician, with people in the correct areas, and thus is too big to jail. These are not the only incidents that she is involved in. Her foundation that was started with her husband, and former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, is being looked at for illegally accepting money from foreign governments. The same lady also had the nerve to stand in front of our dead soldiers and tell their families that their deaths were because of a video but then emailed her family and said that the attack was an Al-Qaeda like a terrorist attack.

If you want to talk about this election and say that Trump is either overbearing or unfit for office, I will fully agree with you. I don't believe either candidate in the 2016 election is qualified for the highest office and most powerful office in the entire world. I will, however, say that there is one candidate that is far more unqualified than the other, and it's not the one that has never been involved in politics.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
