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.
