Soopermexican at The Right Scoop reported on something the media wanted to ignore: Hillary supporters gasped when a young man in New Hampshire hit Hillary Clinton with Benghazi, the e-mails, and...even Whitewater, that golden oldie from the S&L-90s.
That's funny: Networks which love to obsess over a Trump questioner in New Hampshire talking about Muslims couldn't locate some "Clinton hater" millennial with a hardball:
QUESTIONER: You say you want to end corruption. But how can you do that after the Whitewater scandal, Benghazi, and the deleted e-mails?
HILLARY: Well, I wish you’d go back and reread the history of [the] 1990s, because clearly [partisan applause] there were unfortunately a bunch of partisans who thought the best way to work with my husband’s administration were through attacks of all kinds, all of which washed out, I was elected to the Senate in New York, in 2000, and New York is a pretty tough place to run for office from. And I advise you to go back and read my 11 hours of testimony. I hope you enjoy it!
The Clinton scandals, "all of which washed out," since it was apparently reaaaallly hard for Hillary to get elected in liberal New York, beating Rick Lazio 55-43. They "wash out" because media "professionals" worked to disassociate the Clintons from their own scandals. Take this beauty from 1995, from James ("Jay") Carney in Time:
"These indictments may have little or nothing to do with Whitewater," says TIME's James Carney of the 48-page indictment that charges Bill Clinton's former business partner James McDougal, his wife Susan, and Arkansas governor Jim Guy Tucker with bank fraud and numerous other crimes. "Webster Hubbell was indicted, and it was shown that the Clintons had nothing to do with his crime. It is not clear that this involves the Clintons at all," says Carney.
Tucker and the McDougals were all convicted and imprisoned. (The networks shamelessly skimmed over the trial.) But in Carney's article, he wrote "Federal officials insist that the Clintons are not targets of this investigation and that the only link is their coincidental association with McDougal."
As we wrote in our book Whitewash, “Try imagining this sentence in the early days of Watergate: ‘Federal officials insist that President Nixon is not a target of the investigation and that the only link is his coincidental association with E. Howard Hunt.'”
