If only!

Few politicians in America have as much scandal, sleaze, and controversy surrounding them as Hillary Clinton and perhaps none of them, with the exception of her husband, has been given a bigger free pass.

As Peggy Noonan once said, “People have pointed out (Hillary’s) ethical lapses for so long that they seem boring, or impossible to believe. ‘That couldn’t be true or she wouldn’t be running for president.’ This thought collides with ‘And we already know all this anyway.’ Her campaign uses the latter to squash the latest: ‘old news,’ ‘cash for rehash.’

With that in mind, here are 14 yes or no questions I’d like to ask Hillary after I hooked her up to a polygraph machine, assuming that she hasn’t gotten so good at lying that she could beat the machine.

A Culture Of Corruption

1) Your former friend and business partner, James McDougal, claimed that “he and a longtime businessman at McDougal’s S&L, Henry Hamilton, ‘developed a system to pass money to Clinton.’ Did you or your husband ever take payoffs from your friend James McDougal?

2) While you were with the Rose Law Firm, you personally worked on a document that was used to “obfuscate and hide the fraudulent nature” of a piece of the Whitewater land swindle. Did you know that the document you were working on was going to be used for illegal purposes?

3) Your Rose Law Firm billing records were removed from Vince Foster’s office after his death. Those records were “(m)issing and under subpoena for two years (and) they turned up in January 1996 in the Clintons’ private quarters at the White House.” Whoever took those records committed a crime by obstructing justice. Despite the fact that your records were taken and eventually turned up in your private quarters, you have denied taking the records or having anyone take them for you. Is that true?

4) Clinton supporter David Hale claimed that your husband pressured him into making a “fraudulent $300,000 federally backed loan to Susan McDougal, some of which went into Whitewater Development Corp.” Did your husband pressure David Hale into making that fraudulent loan?

5) You once turned $1,000 into $100,000 in less than a year in the cattle futures market. The odds that this was done legitimately have been put, in some estimates, as high as 250 million to 1. It has been alleged, and seems likely, that the $100,000 was actually bribe money that was paid to you while the cattle futures market was merely used as cover for the payout. With that in mind, were your cattle futures winnings actually bribe money?

14) According to Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter, who’s certainly no conservative, “Hillary negotiated nothing and was present at no major meetings on foreign policy and national security after 1994. ...On domestic policy, Hillary was essentially sidelined after her disastrous 1994 health-care plan.” Is that true?

Hillary needs to be completely exposed, which would save us from being taken down her Stalinist road.
