The Clintons are like the “Peanuts” character Pigpen — wherever they go, it seems, their own private cloud of controversy and corruption follows. In the 1990s, it was Whitewater, the firing of White House travel aides, Madison S&L, cattle futures and bimbo eruptions. Today, it is the Clinton Foundation and her private email server. And tomorrow — who knows?
Once she takes office, Clinton and her team will almost certainly set in motion an entirely new set of scandals. As a former CIA psychological profiler who spent years studying the behavior of terrorists and criminals recently pointed out to me, “the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior in similar situations.” This individual continues: “We do know enough about Clinton’s past behavior to know what she is likely to do if elected President. She will sell access to foreign governments to enrich herself; she will hide her true intentions and actions behind a lack of transparency, even if it means flouting the law; she will lie to the public to advance her political agenda, her career and protect her reputation, as she lied to the loved ones of the patriots killed in Benghazi . . . and she will continue to carry out her elected duties in corrupt ways.”
