The Pros And Cons Of Hillary Clinton

To Trust or Not to Trust

It was once said that, “The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well”(Marti, 2016, para. 1). Although many do not realize it, placing a vote for someone is a significant action and it has considerable consequences, as this quote points out. If to vote for someone is actually to trust them with “life, honor and future”, the voter must make sure to know and trust whomever they vote for. In the upcoming election, many voters are supporting candidate Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, it seems they do not actually know her troubling record. Hillary Clinton is unfit to be President of the United States not only because of her failed

A prime example of these corrupt dealings occurred when Russia was looking to buy and take over Uranium One, a company that controls large amounts of the world’s uranium production. Because Uranium One also controls one fifth of the uranium production in the United States, the U. S. State Department, under Hillary Clinton, had to approve the transaction. At this same time donations were being made to the Clinton Foundation by some of the key players in this transaction (Becker & McIntire, 2015, para. 1-5). According to Jo Becker and Mike McIntire (2015), “Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million… Other people with ties to the company made donations as well” (para. 6). Suspiciously, these donations were not reported publicly, as they should have been according to the foundation regulations set when Clinton entered office. In the end, the transaction was approved, without any proof of correlation to the

Clinton claimed, “I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material” (Miller, 2015, para. 91). However, FBI director James Comey stated after investigation that, “110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received” (Comey, 2016, para. 12). Clinton also lied about the security, stating, “…there were no security breaches” (Miller, 2015, para. 65). In contrast, Comey reported, “it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail account” (Comey, 2016, para. 29). If “hostile” nations possibly having access to U.S. classified material is not a security breach, then what is? Clinton has proved herself untrustworthy by mishandling classified information, potentially putting the country and its citizens at risk, as well as lying to the American people about
