Hillary Clinton’s Cell Phone Scandal

In their book “Her Way,” Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporters Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. documented some very disturbing behavior on the part of our once-and-future First Lady.

Most of the book simply covers the usual maniacal behavior of any control-freak who is granted extreme amounts of power over others. One section, however, is of extreme interest because it involves both legal issues and current political issues.

Gerth and Van Natta document how Hillary listened to secretly recorded audiotapes of telephone conversations between Clinton opponents. These recordings were made by Clinton staff members during the 1992 Presidential campaign by monitoring cell phone frequencies.

This type of activity had been made illegal six years earlier, in the 1986 Stored Communications Law. Under U.S. Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 121, Section 2701: Unlawful access to stored communications, Mrs. Clinton is potentially due for “a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or both.”

But more than the legal implications to Mrs. Clinton personally is the message this sends to voters. Mrs. Clinton has voted against giving federal law enforcement officers the same powers and she willingly (and illegally) took upon herself.

Mrs. Clinton has yet to come clean with the voters regarding these incidents. She also has yet to explain why she feels it’s OK for her to listen to other peoples phone calls in advancement of her own person interests — while at the same time she feels that law enforcement should not have this same authority while they work hard to protect the citizens of this great nation from additional terrorist attacks.
