Thread: Hillary in 2016 ?

Clinton inadvertently admits she may have violated law over Benghazi
Written by Allen West on June 23, 2014


I’ve publicly stated I do not believe Hillary Clinton will be running for president in 2016. Her recent performance during the book rollout evidenced someone incapable of standing up to scrutiny. She certainly didn’t comport herself in a professional manner. http://allenbwest.com/2014/06/hillar...stevens-video/

And so this recent Wall Street Journal article by Victoria Toensing http://online.wsj.com/articles/victo...law-1403047339 builds that case even more, writing, “In her recent interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, Hillary Clinton said “I was not making security decisions” about Benghazi, claiming “it would be a mistake” for “a secretary of state” to “go through all 270 posts” and “decide what should be done.” And at a January 2013 Senate hearing, Mrs. Clinton said that security requests “did not come to me. I did not approve them. I did not deny them.”

Well, it seems the former Secretary of State may have just admitted she either didn’t follow, or intentionally broke the law — but then again, if you’re a liberal progressive socialist, laws are just recommendations.

As Toensing says, by statute, Clinton was required to make specific security decisions for defenseless consulates like Benghazi, and was not permitted to delegate them to anyone else. The Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999, or Secca, was passed in response to the near-simultaneous bombings of U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Aug. 7, 1998.”

The similarities of history are disturbingly coincidental.

In 1999, Bill Clinton was president. Patrick Kennedy, now the undersecretary of state for management, was then acting assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security. Susan Rice, now the national security adviser, was then assistant secretary of state for African affairs. As with the Benghazi terrorist attacks, an Accountability Review Board (ARB) was convened for each bombing.

Their reports in January 1999 called attention to “two interconnected issues: 1) the inadequacy of resources to provide security against terrorist attacks, and 2) the relative low priority accorded security concerns throughout the U.S. government.”

Just as U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens did in 2012, the U.S. ambassador to Kenya, Prudence Bushnell, had made repeated requests for security upgrades in 1997 and 1998. All were denied.

It’s not certain whether George Santayana said, “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”, but we know for certain Hillary said, “what difference at this point does it make?”

In 1998 to ensure accountability in the future, the review boards (ARB) recommended “[f]irst and foremost, the Secretary . . . should take a personal and active role in carrying out the responsibility of ensuring the security of U.S. diplomatic personnel abroad” and “should personally review the security situation of embassy chanceries and other official premises.” And for new embassy buildings abroad, “all U.S. government agencies, with rare exceptions, should be located in the same compound.”

So Congress quickly agreed and passed Secca, a law implementing these (and other) recommendations. It mandated that the secretary of state make a personal security waiver under two circumstances: when the facility could not house all the personnel in one place and when there was not a 100-foot setback. The law also required that the secretary “may not delegate” the waiver decision.

What difference does it make? Well, Benghazi didn’t house all U.S. personnel in one building. There was the consulate and an annex, one of the two situations requiring a security waiver by the secretary of state, which could not be delegated.

However, here is the doozy: the “home cooking of the books.” Recognizing that the Benghazi consulate (like the Nairobi and Dar es Salaam embassies) was a previously nongovernmental building, the 2012 Benghazi review board — co-chaired by Amb. Thomas Pickering (Ms. Rice’s supervisor in 1998) and Adm. Michael Mullen — reported that this “resulted in the Special Mission compound being excepted from office facility standards and accountability under” Secca.

I don’t smell a rat. I smell a Clinton — but then again they may be synonymous.

Mrs. Clinton either personally waived these security provisions required by law or she violated the law by delegating the waiver to someone else — take your pick, they both suck!

Hillary asked to sign her book to Ambassador Stevens [VIDEO]
Written by Michele Hickford, Editor-in-Chief on June 19, 2014

Book tours can be stressful things, as Hillary Clinton is finding out.

Daily Surge publisher and fellow Liberty Alliance member Jason Mattera caught up with Hillary at one of the stops on her book tour this week, and asked the former Secretary of State if she would mind signing a copy of her book Hard Choices — to Christopher Stevens. Mattera said, “I think you knew him.”

Ambassador Christopher Stevens was of course murdered along with three other Americans in Benghazi during the attack on September 11, 2012.

When Hillary made the hard choice to say no, “I’m not gonna do that,” Mattera followed up with “What difference does it make?”

Mattera couldn’t help pointing out that Hillary’s security detail appeared to be larger than what Ambassador Stevens was provided in Benghazi. Clinton’s entourage filled up a town car, two SUVs, and consisted of security personnel from the building she had just exited.

And as a woman, I would have also asked her, what’s up with those terrible black shoes?

Poor Mrs. Clinton! She feels the suffering of all of us because she and Bill left the White House in debt with hardly a penny to their names! Yeah, riiight.

As Reince Priebus, RNC Chairman said, “Between an $8 million book advance and their family’s six-figure taxpayer-funded salary, it’s astonishing that Bill and Hillary Clinton thought they were broke. With Hillary Clinton bellyaching about her family’s finances, nobody will be attending her Pity Party.”

There's nothing particularly unusual about Hillary Rodham Clinton's $225,000 fee for her upcoming speech at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. In March, the University of California at Los Angeles paid $300,000 for a similar event with Mrs. Clinton, according to The Wall Street Journal.

You’re Not Going to Believe Why Jenny McCarthy Says Bill Clinton Cheats
July 22, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

http://www.tpnn.com/2014/07/22/video...linton-cheats/
The View’s Jenny McCarthy may be on her way out after it was announced that her contract was not being renewed, but that doesn’t mean that she is shying away from saying eyebrow raising things. During a discussion of the new book called “The First Family Details: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents,” the women on The View, joined by Orange is the New Black actor Jason Biggs, discuss the possible secret lives led by Bill and Hillary Clinton.

According to Whoopi Goldberg, the book claims that Bill Clinton has a mistress who visits the house so often when Hillary is out of town that Secret Service agents have nicknamed her the ‘Energizer [bleep]‘. Even without reading the book, you can insert all kind of words related to possible sexcapades. After all, Slick Willy has earned a reputation of sorts throughout the years as a philanderer and accused serial rapist, even being impeached for lies to cover-up his extramarital affair with a young, impressionable White House intern while he was president.

Fellow host Sherri Shepard defended Bill as appearing to be quite in love with his wife every time she sees pictures of them together. However, Jenny McCarthy offered a different view saying, “Well, maybe he has girlfriends and she has girlfriends.”

Gasp! A Left-leaning woman of The View insinuating that Hillary Clinton is actually a lesbian? Let’s see if McCarthy is allowed to finish out her short remaining time on The View or if she is mysteriously missing tomorrow morning.

http://www.tpnn.com/2014/07/22/video...linton-cheats/

I could care less if Hillary is a Lesbian or not.
Hay, maybe Hillary helps Bill find his mistresses..
Who Cares?
The Fact of the Matter is,,
Chelsea was raised in a 2 parent household. Did Bill and Hillary have marital problems,, I can guarantee they did.
But Bill and Hillary, while they may have slept in Different Rooms, still slept under the same roof.
When Chelsea was sick or scared, all she had to do was call out or walk down the hall to either room. Mom & Dad were there for her.
You've got to Respect both Bill and Hillary for hanging in and staying married.
Out everything that Hillary Clinton has done, out of every position she has held and in Building the Clinton Foundation, I Respect Hillary Clinton Most for sticking with Bill while their daughter was growing up.
Not many women could do that.
Not many men could get away with what Bill has gotten away with.
Do they love each other?
I think they really do love each other..
Do they have a Out Side Of The Box Relationship?
Sure they do and it works for them.
If Hillary has a few women on the side or if she's madly in love with some lucky women, that's HER BUSINESS.
If Bill has a mistress and Hillary doesn't have a problem with it.. Who are we to judge?
Now, with that said....
I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton for President with Joe Biden's vote...
I don't care for her leadership and her contempt for the common citizen..

,,,

Hillary Clinton is a national joke, truth be told. Staying with her serial, philandering husband is nothing to be proud of or respected. She sold her soul long ago for power & money, and her dignity as well.

///

The Clintons stay together out of expediency. Chelsea was no more than a prop to their political theater. I am sure that Chelsea has learned well and is every bit as cynical and manipulative as Mom and Dad. Easy to raise a child with servants and of course Chelsea felt secure - first because of Arknsas State Troopers and later the Secret Service.

Who are we to judge? Every American registered voter has the right to judge.

The View Crew: Stop Trying to Shame Hillary with Bill's Mistresses!
By Geoffrey Dickens | July 22, 2014

The women of The View are sick and tired of people using Bill Clinton’s mistresses to get in the way of Hillary Clinton’s presidential ambitions. At the top of Tuesday’s show Whoopi Goldberg introduced the topic:

“You know, there’s a new book called The First Family Details: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents. And it claims that Bill Clinton has a mistress that visits the house so often that when Hillary is out of town, they see her and they have nicknamed her The Energizer.”

Guest host and former CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin led the charge against the rumors as she huffed:

“You know I’m so tired of hearing about Bill Clinton’s sort of extracurricular activities. Because the bottom line is this is to shame Hillary. Right?”

Sherri Shepherd didn’t care either:

“I always see former President William F. Clinton, he always seems to be so in love with his wife.”

As for Jenny McCarthy and guest host and star of American Pie Jason Biggs? Well they had more salacious takes on the whole affair: (video http://www.mrctv.org/videos/view-cre...lls-mistresses http://www.mrctv.org/videos/view-cre...lls-mistresses)

Jenny McCarthy speculated: “Well maybe he has his girlfriends and she has her girlfriends, you never know. Maybe they have an arrangement.” Biggs’s observation didn’t even get past the censors as he wondered: “You know when I think energizer, 'I think keeps going, and going and going,' but maybe this energizer just keeps [censored].”

The following is the relevant transcript as it was aired on the July 22 edition of ABC’s The View:

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: You know, there’s a new book called The First Family Details: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents. And it claims that Bill Clinton has a mistress that visits the house so often that when Hillary is out of town, they see her and they have nicknamed her The Energizer. Now, this is apparently some a new book.

SHERRI SHEPHERD: Now this is the same - this person who wrote this book is the same person that broke it -- remember when those Secret Service Obama’s Secret Service hired prostitutes? This is the same guy that broke that story.

SUNNY HOSTIN, GUEST HOST: You know I’m so tired of hearing about Bill Clinton’s sort of extracurricular activities. Because the bottom line is this is to shame Hillary. Right?

SHEPHERD: Because she may be running for president.

HOSTIN: Because she may be running for president. And I think we should stop doing that. Why are we shaming women for the actions of their husbands?

SHEPHERD: But if it’s true?

HOSTIN: And it’s their private affair. I mean isn’t it? If she, if they have whatever agreement they have or if she knows about this or if she doesn’t know about this why is there a book about it?

SHEPHERD: I don’t know if it’s a private affair, if all the Secret Service got a nickname for your-

JENNY MCCARTHY: I’m sorry, my dog walker has a confidentiality agreement. The fact that these Secret Service-

SHEPHERD: It’s not the Secret Service. He, you know, I don’t know-

MCCARTHY: People are talking. It’s like I don’t get that!

HOSTIN: Do you think it’s appropriate for them to, for people to be writing?

MCCARTHY: No!

HOSTIN: For somebody to write a book about it?

SHEPHERD: First of all, do you believe it? Because he may, I mean?

[crosstalk]

GOLDBERG: Here’s the question. Does it matter? Does it matter if you believe it? It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, because it’s been put out into the ether. Once you put it out there it’s out there...But, you know, you put something out there and it doesn’t even, you can’t un-ring it.

SHEPHERD: I always see former President William F. Clinton, he always seems to be so in love with his wife. And they’ve weathered so many storms together. So-

MCCARTHY: Well maybe he has his girlfriends and she has her girlfriends, you never know. Maybe they have an arrangement.

SHEPHERD: Now you putting stuff out there. Now you putting stuff out there.

JASON BIGGS, ACTOR: You know when I think energizer, I think “keeps going, and going and going,” but maybe this energizer just keeps [censored].

MCCARTHY: I think this woman has a red beret if you ask me.

GOLDBERG: I just, you know I feel bad for her. You know? I feel bad for her because you’re basically trying to make somebody feel bad.

MCCARTHY: They’re trying to shame her!

GOLDBERG: If you didn’t know, they want you to know that they know. But, you know what? No matter what you do, you can’t get between them. They are husband and wife. They have been married. And as you said, Sherri, they have weathered a whole bunch of stuff.

MCCARTHY: She’s standing by her man.

GOLDBERG: And, you know what? She may have really good reason to stand by her and he by her as well.

HOSTIN: And she’s done incredible work. She’s done incredible public service. And shouldn’t we talk about that as opposed to this?

GOLDBERG: And if she runs? Deal with it from that. Because you’re not running against Bill, honey. If she runs you gonna have to beat her on her own terms! Leave Bill out of it! Don’t nobody care!

SHEPHERD: What they’re pulling out now that people are thinking Hillary may run.

GOLDBERG: Well soon they’ll find out that Bill and Hillary and I have a threesome and a child! You know? That’s the next thing.

Months before the Benghazi attack, the Islamist group blamed for the attack rented the house next to the embassy.
And that's not all...guess who the State Dept outsourced security to?

This is beyond belief.
