Finally, I've found a list of every one of Hillary Clinton's scandals!

I didn't know that such a list exists, but thanks to columnist Brett Arends at the business Marketwatch site, there is one.

There are 25 scandals. Due to DU's 4 paragraph limit, I can't list them all, but I'll start with a few paragraphs that precede the list.

I’m up here in New Hampshire watching her talk to a group of supporters, and I realized that I have been following this woman’s career for more than half my life. No, not just my adult life: the whole shebang. She came onto the national scene when I was a young man.

And for all that time, there has been a deafening chorus of critics telling me that she’s just the most wicked, evil, Machiavellian, nefarious individual in American history. She has “the soul of an East German border guard,” in the words of that nice Grover Norquist. She’s a “bitch,” in the words of that nice Newt Gingrich. She’s a “dragon lady.” She’s “Elena Ceaușescu.” She’s “the Lady Macbeth of Little Rock.”

Long before “Benghazi” and her email server, there was “Whitewater” and “the Rose Law Firm” and “Vince Foster.” For those of us following her, we were promised scandal after scandal after scandal. And if no actual evidence ever turned up, well, that just proved how deviously clever she was.

So today I’m performing a public service on behalf of all the voters. I went back and re-read all the criticisms and attacks and best-selling “exposés” leveled at Hillary Rodham Clinton over the past quarter-century. And I’ve compiled a list of all her High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

UPDATE: Actually, there are 66 scandals. Doesn't surprise me one bit!

How the media, BernieBros, Trumpers, et al. keep calling Hillary 'untrustworthy' or a 'liar' when it's been proven that Trump is the biggest liar of them all, and Sanders hasn't been very truthful, either, whereas Hillary was found to be the most honest candidate. Yet we almost never hear about Trump's nor Sanders' dishonesty or outright lies, just (supposedly) Hillary's. Grrr

I just respond to them by telling them that she has made the lowest percentage of false statements out of any of the 2016 candidates according to PolitiFact. They might not want to believe that, but it is what it is.
