Likely voters concerned about corruption if Hillary elected president

The public-interest group Judicial Watch has released the results of a nationwide poll that indicates nearly half of likely American voters are worried about corruption in the White House if Hillary Clinton becomes the next U.S. president.


Judicial Watch conducted the poll in partnership with Zogby International. A total of 38 percent of those polled were Democrats, 36 percent were Republicans, and 26 percent were Independents. Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton says the results of the poll were quite revealing.

"Forty-five percent [of the respondents] are concerned or very concerned about Hillary Clinton corruption and that there will be high levels of corruption in the White House if Hillary's elected president," he notes.

And Fitton believes the Clintons will do whatever it takes to keep scandal news out of the headlines. "It's going to be a battle," he says, "because the Clintons are going to try to destroy anyone who raises these issues. They've already said Bill Clinton's personal life -- for instance -- is off limits, which means that everything he did during [his] presidency is off limits."

The Judicial Watch spokesman anticipates that there is "going to be a battle" waged by the Clintons and their supporters to keep information about their past scandals out of the media spotlight. "I mean, we've been attacked," he says, "just for asking these questions, by the liberal media."

Meanwhile, Fitton asserts, the mainstream media have done virtually no reporting on Mrs. Clinton's earlier scandals. "There's been no news, for instance, about Hillary's role in 'Travelgate,'" he says; "no news about cattle trading that led to $100,000 profit for her; no news about the fact her national finance director for her first Senate campaign in 2000 went to a criminal trial for fraudulent campaign finance filing; no news about her involvement with 'Chinagate,' the taking of moneys from abroad to help her husband's campaigns in the nineties."

And almost certainly, the Clintons are going to try to destroy anyone who tries to raise awareness of these issues, Fitton contends. Nevertheless, he says the media and other public policy leaders have a responsibility to ask tough questions of Hillary Clinton about her and her husband's involvement in various corruption scandals.

The party on the other side of Hillary's commodity trades was Tyson, who has their headquarters in Arkansas.

In addition, Bill Clinton stacked the 11th circuit with 7 appointees who let Tyson off of a billion dollar judgment against Tyson in their cattle manipulation case where the jury returned a verdict for cattlemen. This verdict has serious implications for all meat producers and guts the Packers and Stockyards Act that protects producers.

Additionally, the Clinton administration helped Tyson with its Hudson Foods recall that allowed Tyson to pick up that company for a song.

To top it off, Bill Clinton pardoned Archie Schafer who was convicted of bribing the secretary of agriculture.

This is just what the Clintons have done to meat producers. No telling how many other skeletons they have in their closet.

Hillary Clinton Futures Trades Detailed

By Charles R. Babcock
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, May 27, 1994; Page A01

Hillary Rodham Clinton was allowed to order 10 cattle futures contracts, normally a $12,000 investment, in her first commodity trade in 1978 although she had only $1,000 in her account at the time, according to trade records the White House released yesterday.

Blair advised Clinton again on July 17, 1979. He recalled that she started that trading day by losing $26,460 on 10 cattle contracts she had held for more than a month, by far her worst loss as a futures player. On his recommendation, he said, she immediately went back into the market. She acquired 50 new cattle contracts – worth $1.4 million -- and when the price moved in her favor, unloaded them around noon for a quick gain of $10,550. This recouped part of her loss.

While Clinton's account was wildly successful to an outsider, it was small compared to what others were making in the cattle futures market in the 1978-79 period. An investigation of the cattle futures market at that time by Rep. Neal Smith (D-Iowa) found that in one 16-month period 32 traders made more than $110 million in profits from large trades -- those of 50 contracts or more. Clinton traded positions of 50 or more contracts only three times.

From the same article:

Blair, who at the time was outside counsel to Tyson Foods Inc., Arkansas' largest employer, says he was advising Clinton out of friendship, not to seek political gain for his state-regulated client. At the time of many of the trades, Bill Clinton was governor.

Hillary Clinton has said she made all the trading decisions herself and has tried to play down Blair's role. But she acknowledged in April, three weeks after her trades were first disclosed, that Blair actually placed most of the trades.
