Clintons: Our first crime family

The sleaziness and unmitigated gall of the Clintons has reached new levels. But this time they have gone too far. They are truly a crime family that has avoided prosecution for 35 years. Their crimes and scandals are far too many to list but the latest one where, as a result of their actions, the Russians now own 20 percent of the U.S. uranium deposits is beyond the pale. When Hillary became Secretary of State, Bill’s speaking engagement prices doubled and in some cases tripled and no one, including Vladimir Putin and the Russians, were considered off limits.

The corrupt Clinton conveniently neglected to report large donations from foreign governments and businesses for a five-year period. Before she took office, Hillary signed an agreement that this would not take place. They were caught so Hillary destroyed 33,000 emails to cover her tracks and now they think filing amended tax returns will solve the problem. Why shouldn’t they think that way given the corruption in the Justice Department under Eric Holder? I have heard reports that some of these tax returns show only 15 percent of the enormous amounts of cash taken in go to the charities and the reaming 85 percent was listed as travel and other expense. Failing to report foreign donations and obstructing justice by destroying emails is bad but selling out to the Russians in unforgivable if not out right treasonous. If a Republican presidential candidate were to be caught in such activities they would scrap their plans to run immediately. The Clintons are known for not giving up but as I said earlier. “This time they have gone too far.” The Democrats should step forward with new candidates and tell Hillary to retire.
