She has a lot of baggage and just these memory lapses of hers do nothing on the trust issues.

I couldn't watch the whole thing and I am firmly a Sanders supporter. She will lose the general if nominated.

As American experts hit the ground in Nigeria to help advance the search for nearly 300 innocent schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram, some Republican lawmakers back in the United States are rallying around a politically opportune argument about the Islamist terror group's growing threat over the past several years.

Nigerian kidnappings: Former negotiator warns against military rescue
Their case: Under the tenure of then-Secretary Hillary Clinton, the State Department declined to add Boko Haram to its official list of foreign terrorist organizations, despite the group's increasingly violent behavior. Though the CIA can gather intelligence on terror groups regardless of their status on a State Department list, official designation unlocks more robust means to combat them, since it triggers the Authorization for Use of Military Force.

There are also apparently (right wing sources?) some large donations to the Clinton Foundation ($5 million) from some Nigerian land developer convicted of bribery and with other legal problems, maybe tied to the whole boko haram thing. And I guess he's helped fund the Clinton election campaigns since the 90's. Not sure if that's partly behind the FBI investigation of the Foundation.

Rotten, Rotten, Rotten to the Clinton core.

My gawd...I had forgotten about so many of these things.

And yes, IF, the DNC/DWS crookedly gets her to the GE...she will LOSE.

All that baggage...the Pukes and Baggers will have a hay day.

She's a horrible candidate.

I was distressed by some of the parts of this video that were pure allegations,
but many are very specific, have been documented, and are able to be researched.
At the time, I discounted most of these as part of the VRWC, but seeing it all compiled, and the dots connected is very disturbing.

I am also disturbed by this very professionally produced video, and question its source and financiers.

Never-the-Less, this is only a sample of what we will be treated to over the next year if the Democratic Party and Democratic Primary Voters are reckless enough to choose Hillary for the coronation.


DURec if only to educate people about what we will be facing if Hillary is the "nominee".
I don't believe she can win the GE.

I've been around politics a long time and was very active in Colorado in 1992 in the Clinton campaign when I met Bill and Hillary.

Over the course, of their presidency ("two of the price of one&quot I became increasingly disillusion with them, although I defended Pres. Clinton against the excesses and overreach of the Starr investigations, especially the Lewinsky persecution.

The video is quite accurate as I remember so many of those scandals and controversies.

A lot of folks tend to forget Pardongate, in particular, and Hillary's involvement ... there was some very dirty business going on with that scandal.

I'm very pro-Sanders, but I am vehemently opposed to Hillary Clinton because of all the things mentioned in this video. The only exception is the Benghazi situation, although even there, much of the problem for Hillary is the way she chose to explain herself.

Democrats need to be reminded on what Hillary Clinton's history is -- if she were to get the Democratic Party nomination for president (heaven forbid) it is going to lead to a mega-political disaster.

Please share this video with Democratic voters and caucus goers!

The "embassy" was a backwater outpost for the CIA who were running Black Ops in Libya, and the attack was blowback.
Remember, the Obama Administration consistently claimed we has "no boots on the ground" in Libya.

I have no proof for this, only my age and watching the US operate in the Middle East and Latin America for 50 years. Running CIA Black Ops out of a "satellite" "embassy"
has been SOP for at least 50 years, if not longer.

the vitriol of the Republicans at the time) was enough for most of us to discount and/or ignore the constant and continuous scandals of the Clinton Administration. Enough time has gone by that many of us have forgotten them.

It is a shame that Ken Starr allowed his partisan leanings to lead him to do his best to discredit the Clintons rather than just investigate the allegations as he should have done. In doing that, he did a great disservice to the people of the United States. I don't think we will ever know the truth on many of the issues because of this.

People loved Bill Clinton. He knows how to win friends. Not so much Hillary. I have admired some of the things she has done, but I never warmed up to her.

She was my fourth choice (last) for President in 2008. She might have been my third, but I decided that it was not a good thing to have the Presidency of the United States belonging to two families. So I went to Obama. In the end, although I don't agree on many things with Obama, I believe he has made a much better President than Hillary ever could.

At this point, whether some of the issues listed in this video are true, or provably false, or not, there is way too much that is true and people will believe it is all true. And that means that Hillary is toast, whether in the primaries or the GE. If she is our nominee, we are looking at the real possibility of a President Trump.

It was a High Dollar Production, with professional editing and sound, not some YouTube clip.
If the Dem Party is dumb enough to nominate Hillary, we will be treated to much more of this. The BIG problem is that most of it can now be documented.

This leads to only one conclusion:
A vote for Hillary is a vote for a Republican President.

Just chock full of RW talking points. So much is wrong with this. The Foster " scandal" was just a bunch of crap. Having a bill over 1,000 pages is not unusual. Yes, she has baggage. Yes, she has recent history that makes her hard to vote for... But this video is so slanted to the right ... Was surprised to see it here.

And I am a Bernie supporter.
