Hillary Rodham Clinton is the only First Lady in United States history to come under criminal investigation. The Office of the First Lady is an actual bureaucracy within the Executive Office of the President and the White House replete with its own staff and budget.

Upon Mr. Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993 and under charges of nepotism, she was appointed the head of a task force to oversee and regulate one-eighth of the United States economy. The secrecy of the Hillary Clinton's Healthcare Task Force was at issue in court cases which resulted in disclosures to comply with the law.

Her friend and law partner Vince Foster supervised the defense of the litigation. Two years later the Task Force proposals, dubbed Hillarycare, lacked public support and the Democrats in control of Congress killed it by refusing to go on record and hold a vote on it.

Subsequently, the Republicans won a landslide victory in 1994, taking over both Houses of Congress.

Inauguration

A new president receives congratulatory gifts from other Heads of State. Under the law, of coarse, these are not the property of William Jefferson Clinton nor Hillary Rodham Clinton, as they cannot legally accept bribes, gifts, and gratuities for serving as President or First Lady.[1] The gifts are the property of the institution of the Office of the President, the United States Government. Legal experts and graduates of Ivy League Law schools, with the exception of possibly two, are in complete agreement on this point.

There is no accounting for millions of dollars of unappraised gifts received after Bill Clinton's first inauguration. Civil Service employees were instructed not to itemize the gifts, complete the requisite cataloging, inventory and appraisal forms, and insure delivery to the White House Gift Office. Those who refused to comply were eased out of their positions, fired, and slandered in media accounts.

After 8 years when the Clinton's left the White House, allegations were finally reported that had been made the first week they had entered the White House in January of 1993.

Travelgate

Hillary Clinton's first grab for power in the White House was when she moved against the $31 million budget and staff positions in the White House Travel Office was. Hillary trumped up some alleged mismanagement and ordered the 7 career staffers fired in order to take over their budget and stuff the positions with her surrogates and cronies. The professional career staffers, some who had served presidents of both parties for nearly 30 years, sued to fight the Clinton slander machine, preserve their reputations, and most importantly get their jobs back. Within the first hundred days of the new presidency, America was introduced to its new First Lady whom investigators determined, had given "factually false" testimony[2] under oath when questioned by the GAO, the Independent Counsel, and Congress.

Waco massacre

Among the hard choices this advocate of children and women's rights had to make was giving the go-ahead to extinguish the lives of 17 children and 68 adults, the majority of which were women and minorities in the Waco massacre, a colossal bureaucratic blunder that needed quick resolution in her husbands first term.[3][4] Vince Foster transmitted the order from Hillary Clinton to Webster Hubbell at the Justice Department who presented it to Attorney General Janet Reno. Foster, distraught over the results of his involvement, committed suicide.

Timothy McVeigh visited the Waco gravesite of the children and adults which included several inter-racial couples. Outraged at the lawlessness of a government that now threatened Second Amendment rights, McVeigh made a personal decision to follow the same path of lawlessness. Under interrogation McVeigh cited the Waco massacre as his motivation for the Oklahoma City bombing. Hillary Clinton and the Clinton surrogates seized on the tragedy to attack their opponents. Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich, Bob Dole, Rush Limbaugh and any Republican, Libertarian, or Conservative who advocated smaller government and government accountability, or opposed any Clinton initiative, was labeled by the Clinton attack machine and mainstream media surrogates as a right-wing anti-government racist and extremist. The immediate official statements made it clear groups, not individual actors, were being targeted.[5] In the end, the Oklahoma City bombing was the work of a lone wolf - Timothy McVeigh.[6] But the Clinton attack machine divided the country, slandering and impugning the integrity of millions of innocent Americans in its aftermath.[7] Bill Clinton later was to say the Oklahoma City bombing spin saved his presidency and successfully insured his re-election.

Main article: Clinton health care plan

Hillary was asked by her husband to play a central role in secretly crafting a plan to overhaul Health Care. Joe Klein. author of Primary Colors, the fawning rendition of the phenomena of Clintonism on the 1992 campaign trail remarked,

“ Bill Clinton really believed that if anybody was going to come up with the answer to the most vexing public policy problem out there, it was going to be Hillary. It was one of the stupidest political decisions that Bill Clinton ever made.[8] ”

Democrats were divided, and conservatives counterattacked. The Democratically controlled Congress refused to even vote on it, given its unpopularity and having to publicly take a stand in support of the Clintons before the 1994 Midterm Elections.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), along with several other groups, filed a lawsuit over closed-door meetings related to the HillaryCare. The AAPS sued to gain access to the list of members of the task force which the Clinton administration had kept secret from the public.[9] On June 14, 1993 the Washington Times reported Hillary's task force records were being shredded.

Along with the failed task force's membership being sealed from the public, so was its budget, accounting, and spending authority. Hillary's task force was given a budget of $100,000. In secret, it spent almost $14 million.[10]

The long-term impact was an embarrassment to Hillary, especially in her 2008 presidential campaign.

Evidence tampering and obstruction

After the death of White House staffer Vince Foster, 20 year Secret Service veteran Henry O' Neill testified before Congress he observed as Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, Margaret Williams, carry boxes of papers out of Foster's office and up to the White House residence quarters on First Lady Hillary Clinton's instructions. The documents related to the Clinton's blind trust and White House real estate investments. Under oath, Hillary Clinton denied issuing the instructions or receiving the documents. The documents were now considered evidence in the investigation of the death of Vince Foster.

Two years later, some of the documents were retrieved from the private White House quarters. FBI investigators determined Hillary Clinton's fingerprints were on the documents.[11]

Hillary made a pointed reference to "a vast right-wing conspiracy" as being responsible for her husbands infidelity and the myriad scandals which have plagued the Clintons since their early days in Arkansas.
Main article: Vast right wing conspiracy theory

Hillary Clinton branded opponents of the Administration and critics of the Clinton's scandalous lifestyles as "a vast right-wing conspiracy." White House staffers made up an enemies list of persons and organizations who subsequently endured IRS audits and harassment.[12]

Although Hillary Clinton told CBS's Steve Kroft in an interview on 60 Minutes to address her husband's infidelity, Clinton emphatically stated,

“ I'm not sitting here — some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette.[13] ”

Clinton likewise mocked stay-at-home-moms for baking cookies while she was employed at a "high powered" law firm making more money than her husband. She was lauded by liberal media and pundits as "a strong woman."

In the end, when confronted with the infidelity of her husband, she blamed "a vast right-wing conspiracy" and stood by her man.

IRS abuses

Pardongate

In preparation for her Senate bid, President Clinton offered clemency to members of the Armed Forces of National Liberation (FALN) terrorist group [15] to curry favor with radical Puerto Rican voters among the New York electorate.[16] The FALN bombed Fraunces Tavern in Manhattan, killing four people in 1975. Over a six-year period, the group claimed responsibility for more than 100 bombings that took six lives and injured some 130 people.[17]
