Unanswered Questions for Hillary Clinton 10(PLUS) UNANSWERED QUESTIONS FOR? HILLARY CLINTON? ? ? “Thanks in no? small part to Judicial Watch, Hillary Clinton may be the most investigated person in the history of the Republic.” -Margaret Carlson of TIME Magazine ow that Hillary Clinton is an official candidate for President of the United NStates, the American people will take a long, hard look at her record. And any discussion of Hillary Clinton’s record begins and ends with her crimes and ethical transgressions. Judicial Watch, of course, has been pursuing both Hillary and Bill Clinton since its inception, launching numerous investigations and lawsuits. However, despite clear evidence of Clinton corruption, so many questions remain unanswered. If Judicial Watch were given an opportunity to interview Hillary Clinton, here are the ten (plus) questions we would ask first: ?? Who in the Clinton administration devised the plan to sell taxpayer- 1 financed trade missions in exchange for campaign contributions to the Clinton-Gore 1996 re-election campaign? Sworn testimony from Nolanda Hill, partner and confidante of the late Clinton Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, points to you as mastermind of the scheme. 2 Why did you give “factually false” testimony under oath in the investigation of the White House Travel Office firings, as former Independent Counsel Robert Ray stated in his final report. Ray said his office found “overwhelming evidence” you played a role in the dismissals of the seven longtime employees in the White House travel office, which you denied under oath. 3 Who hired former bar bouncer Craig Livingstone and ordered him to illegally obtain for the Clinton administration the FBI files of former staffers in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush? Sworn testimony and at least one FBI docment shows you hired Livingstone. 4 Why did you fail to report more than $2 million in contributions to your Senate 2000 campaign? Testimony from the criminal investigation and trial of your National Finance Director, David Rosen, shows you knew the total costs of the fundraiser, yet failed to accurately report them. 5 Your brothers Anthony and Hugh Rodham allegedly brokered cash deals to obtain presidential pardons from your husband on behalf of convicted criminals. Were you aware they were each paid large sums to obtain these pardons? Did you play any role in any of the 140 presidential pardons provided by Bill Clinton in the waning days of his administration, bypassing the normal pardon review process? How about the pardons of the Puerto Rican terrorists in the run-up to your first Senate campaign? Did you have any input on those? 6 Did you or your lawyers hire private detectives to investigate and intimidate critics of the Clinton administration? 7 What did you instruct James Carville and George Stephanopoulos to say in order to discredit and defame Gennifer Flowers, a woman with whom your husband had an affair? Evidence suggests they smeared her at your behest. Did you play any role in smearing and defaming other women sexually and otherwise abused by your husband, including, but not limited to: Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Dolly Kyle Browning, and Juanita Broaddrick? 8 Records from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange reveal that you turned a $1,000 investment in cattle futures in 1978 into to more than $100,000 in ten months… a return of 10,000%. How did you earn such an astronomical, and unbelievable, return on this investment? ?? 9 How much money does Bill Clinton earn from his relationship with Ron Burkle, a contributor to your Senate campaigns, and Burkle’s company, Yucaipa? Are these funds currently available in bank accounts to which you have access? Will you use these funds for your campaign? How about Bill’s speaking fees, some paid for by foreign interests and governments – what are the financial benefits to you? 10 How do you explain the mysterious disappearance of your Whitewater billing records from the office of Vince Foster, the former Rose Law Firm partner and Clinton White House counsel who allegedly committed suicide in 1993? How do you explain the mysterious reappearance of those same records in the White House with your fingerprints on them? ?? Stopping at ten questions is hard to do. We could ask about her illegal White House fundraising coffees, doing business with the State of Arkansas while her husband was governor, Web Hubbell, John Huang, Chinese generals, the Lippo Group, and paid sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom. These questions are important and relevant as the American people weigh Hillary’s candidacy. We deserve some honest answers. • Judicial Watch is a nonpartisan educational foundation that fights government corruption.

Let Us Infotain You: Politics in the New Media Age Abstract Political communications scholars, members of the press, and political elites have traditionally distinguished between entertainment and non-entertainment media. It is in public affairs media in general and news media in particular that politics is assumed to reside, and it is to this part of the media that the public is assumed to turn when engaging the political world. Politics, in this view, is a distinct and self- contained part of public life, and citizen is one role among many played by individuals.

In this paper, we present quantitative and qualitative analysis of the top retweeted tweets (viral tweets) pertaining to the US presidential elections from September , to Election Day on November , . For everyday, we tagged the top most retweeted tweets as supporting or attacking either candidate or as neutral/irrelevant. Then we analyzed the tweets in each class for: general trends and statistics; the most frequently used hashtags, terms, and locations; the most retweeted accounts and tweets; and the most shared news and links. In all we analyzed the , most viral tweets that grabbed the most attention during the US election and were retweeted in total . million times accounting over % of the total tweet volume pertaining to the US election in the aforementioned period. Our analysis of the tweets highlights some of the differences between the social media strategies of both candidates, the penetration of their messages, and the potential effect of attacks on both.

Introduction Social media is an important platform for political discourse and political cam- paigns [, ]. Political candidates have been increasingly using social media platforms to promote themselves and their policies and to attack their opponents and their policies.

ABSTRACT This study examines Hillary Clinton’s public discourse at various points in her career, analyzing which rhetorical strategies she uses to build and maintain trust between herself and the American public. To do so, this study examines five moments in Clinton’s career in which she actively employs rhetoric that affects the public’s perception of Clinton as a trustworthy or untrustworthy figure. The five case studies analyzed in this study are Bill and Hillary Clinton’s 1992 interview on 60 Minutes, following accusations of Bill’s extramarital affair with Gennifer Flowers; Hillary Clinton’s tears in New Hampshire on the 2008 presidential campaign trail; Hillary’s “3am Phone Call” ad, released during the 2008 primary campaign; Hillary’s social media efforts to brand herself as a grandmother during the 2016 presidential campaign; and Hillary’s infamous email scandal that unfolded during the 2016 presidential campaign.

  • Sexing the Mueller Report
    SEXING THE MUELLER REPORT Ruthann Robson* I. INTRODUCTION Sexual indiscretion, misconduct, and deceit percolate throughout the extensive 2019 Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In the 2016 Presidential Election—known as the Mueller Report.1 President Trump’s sexual behaviors are certainly not the focus of the Mueller Report, which resulted from the Acting Attorney General’s appointment of Robert S. Mueller, III as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump,” and “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation.”2 Volume I of the Mueller Report addresses Russian interference with the 2016 election and any Trump campaign links in approximately 200 pages. Volume II of the Mueller Report, which is slightly longer at 241 pages, focuses on the question of whether the president obstructed justice in connection with the Russia-related investigations, including presidential actions related to the Special Counsel’s investigation itself. Given its charge, it is both predictable and understandable that the Mueller Report only obliquely addresses President Trump’s sexual * © 2020, All rights Reserved.

  • Rankin V. Rodham
    Rankin v. Rodham: The Difference between Shattering and Cracking the !2 It’s Tuesday, November 7th of the year 1916. Jeannette Rankin has just successfully won her campaign in running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. This achievement makes her the very first woman to ever serve in Congress. The precedence of this achievement is only emphasized by the fact that the people of Montana elected her into Congress four years before the 19th amendment, that allowed women across the country to vote, had been ratified. Rankin had just made history, and her legacy had only just begun. Flash forward to almost exactly one hundred years from that historic date. It’s Tuesday, November 8th of the year 2016. This is the first year in American history where a woman is the presidential nominee of a major political party.1 Hillary Rodham Clinton is the Democratic Party candidate, and she seems to be the clear winner of this election. She’s an experienced woman of privilege who is going head-to- head with the inexperienced, well-placed Republican Party candidate Donald Trump. With Clinton’s outstanding credentials, such as a law degree from Yale Law School, and her immense involvement in politics throughout her life, like holding the position of Secretary of State for the United States, one would think that she would be the obvious choice to preside over the country, right?2 As the American people were casting their votes and television networks across the country were broadcasting this historic election taking place, one could almost hear the cracks in one of the highest, hardest glass ceilings begin to form.
