The FBI, under Director James Comey, seems to have wilted under the pressure of the Clinton super-powers by refusing to recommend prosecution for all the explicit ways Hillary violated 18 U.S. Code § 793(e) and (f). What normally requires a prima facie determination making "gathering, transmitting or losing defense information" a felony based on “gross misconduct” alone, has been complicated by adding the burden of proving intent, in this case, to excuse Comey’s decision. Congress held an emergency hearing to grill Comey on his obviously misguided conclusion and his clarifications provided even more proof that Clinton perjured herself repeatedly to cover up her illegal activities. Now Congress is pursuing a perjury inquiry and has promised …show more content…
What an endorsement! This “sacrifice” still violates the rule of law in this case by denying unbiased justice. Comey admitted, “To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now. As a result, although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case.” (emphasis mine) In other words, if you or I had done a fraction of what Hillary Clinton did, we’d be doing the “perp walk”, as Bryan Nishimura and others whose names are not Clinton have painfully discovered. James Comey has brought clearly into focus the reality that, in America, we now have a two-tiered system of justice- one for lowly taxpayers and another for our ruling
Watergate Scandal has been considered as one of the darkest chapters in American history. The event not only refers to unethical use of power by the public representatives but also levied great deal of attention on the mechanism of surveillance over the activities of public servants. Watergate scandal provides ethical directions not only to public servants but also provides ethical guidelines to the lawyers and media representatives as well. This incident reveals how ethical lines were crossed time and again by the politicians, legal attorneys and media for their own purposes. Ignoring the righteousness of the outcomes, events like these cause severe damage to the public's trust vested in these authorities which takes a long time to restore.
-The Democratic nominee for the election of 1992 is Bill Clinton : governor of Arkansas
Despite his scandals of an affair with an intern working in the White House, he not only significantly advanced the States economically but also provides health coverage for millions of children throughout the country by enacting a serial of bills. Eventually, he is admitted by American public.
A tragic hero is a person who is adored or praised by the public eye but then chooses an action that eventually leads to his or her’s own destruction. These kind of heroes have been around for an extreme amount of time. A tragic hero is most commonly heard of in a novel or epic, but there have been many historical tragic heroes throughout the real world. Every continent, every country, and even every state has had at least one real life tragic hero in their midst. The United State’s dealt with a tragic hero when they elected former president Bill Clinton into office. Clinton, who use to be known for his intelligence and great speaking abilities, is now known for his scandalous acts in the White House.
* The charges against Williams included that she lied to investigators, tyrannical behavior, especially in running her drug court. Williams had imposed indefinite jail terms on drug defendants, deprived some of contact with their lawyers and jailed one man 14 days for questioning a positive drug test. The commission also accused Williams of giving favorable treatment to family members of friends and those of high social standing. She was also accused of nepotism for allowing family members to practice before her. In one case, Williams warned parties they would be subject to contempt should they fail to pay a $1000 fee to her daughter within 30 days. Other charges include ordering that a
The Arab- Israeli Conflict was and still is a big issue. Many people have been involved in this conflict in the past. When BIll Clinton was president he had a semi big role in the Arab-Israeli Conflict.
He had broken a law, a sacred law that even the most liberal of Arbitrators hesitated to tamper with. He'd broken a law and had paid for it.
Jim Webb will end his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination at a press conference Tuesday, according to two sources with knowledge of the decision.
After Mueller’s indictment of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates on Monday, many Americans have begun to wonder what Mueller’s next move will be. A look into what Mueller’s probe into possible collusion between the Russians and Donald Trump is currently doing also may have came into focus on Monday. Trump’s former foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos admitted to making false statements to FBI agents about making attempts to set up meetings between Trump campaign and Russian officials. Papadopoulos is now giving Mueller information about other people that may have been involved in collusion or that violated federal law. The fact that Manafort is being indicted at the moment means that he likely did not talk like Papadopoulos. Trump still won’t necessarily be indicted, but these recent indictments mean that this is only the start for Mueller, not the end as Trump hoped.
“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” –C.S. Lewis. This characteristic (integrity) is exactly what Chuck Colson exemplified in court during the year of 1974. A man who was once the special counsel for President Nixon, was now being tried for a crime he did not commit. How did Colson end up in this situation you ask? Well, although Colson really was uninvolved in the Watergate scandal, he WAS entangled in the Presidents dirty work. Colson was so heavily involved in the Presidents foul play, he was known as “Nixon’s Master of Dirty Tricks.” Colson was like a child reaching for the cookie jar, he hopelessly strived for the President’s approval, but in order to gain it, he had to deal with the President’s dirty work in secret. As you can imagine, this caused the press and the CIA to put Colson at the top of the suspects list. Everyone can agree that, at one point, Colson was certainly involved in the business of President Nixon and the white house. However some believe that Colson should have pleaded guilty at court, and others believe that Colson should not have pleaded guilty at court. Colson should have pleaded guilty at court for three
On January 17th, 1998, President Clinton videotaped a deposition for the Paula Jones lawsuit against him. December 19th, eleven months later, Bill Clinton became only the second president in our nation’s history to face impeachment from congress. The 1998-1999 was a tumultuous year for the President, the media, and the American people as a whole.
James Comey had no real pleasant choice or option to make for the reason being that both of his options would leave him in the bad. Technically, there was no “right” choice but in my opinion I do not believe he made the right decision. It is so close to election day for this to be happening that it seriously has the potential to cost Hillary Clinton the election. This whole scandal can lower her numbers and chances of winning the election. Because of this perhaps some undeclared voters may commit to Donald Trump, causing his voter percentage to increase. Many people believe that Hillary Clinton is not fit to be president and is untrustworthy because of these emails. The swing states will be significant towards outcome of this election. Some
Throughout the history of the United States and its presidents, there have been a few sex scandals. The two that I am choosing to focus on are Thomas Jefferson and Bill Clinton. Of the two, I believe that the scandal involving President Clinton is the worse scandal.
Clinton impressed people with the idea of a family man in office. He was focused and charismatic. Better economy was what the American people wanted so that is what his goal was. During his reign he went through more scandals and controversies than any other president. He was impeached, yet despite all, he was loved by America. Our economy prospered and we had better diplomatic relations. The American people wanted change for the better and so they elected William Jefferson Clinton for their forty-second president of the United States of America.
The name of my President is Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States of America. Bill Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in the small town of Hope, Arkansas. Bill was named after his father, William Jefferson Blythe II, who had been killed in a car accident just three months before he was born. Bill’s birth name was William Jefferson Blythe III. His mother, Virginia Cassidy Blyth, moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, to study nursing and find a way to support herself and Bill Clinton, and he stayed with his grandparents in Hope. Eldridge and Edith Cassidy taught Bill strong values and beliefs teaching him that everyone is created equal no matter how different of skin or race they seemed. His mother returned in
