Hillary Clinton has been involved in scandals before. Here are some notable ones you may have forgotten.
Chinagate -
The Clinton-Gore campaign in 1996 allegedly took bribes from Chinese
banks and their government to help their dwindling poll numbers. The
Chinese embassy in D.C. helped siphon funds into the DNC. Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown (who was killed in a plane crash), and at Hillary’s instruction
reportedly sold seats on department trade missions to China. Joint
congressional hearings were canceled after Democrats threatened to bring
up Republican campaign issues and then Monica Lewinsky actually saved
this scandal from media attention.
Travelgate Scandal -
Catherine Cornelius, a 25-year-old cousin of Bill's was allegedly
promised the position of director of the travel office. Hillary Clinton
then (indirectly)
fired seven employees from the United States travel office and replaced
them with associates from Arkansas. Records were either nowhere to be
found or incorrectly filed. And, there's a reported attempt to give a
White House airline contract to friend. Hillary had the FBI investigate Billy Dale,
the head of the travel office, ruining his career who was found to do
nothing wrong, but was then audited by the IRS for three years after.
