The 2016 Presidential Election may not be remembered for the candidates positions on the economy, nuclear weapons or terrorism at home or abroad. But instead for the SEX, LIES, VIDEOTAPES, AUDIOTAPES and EMAILS which surfaced prior to the election. So,

On November 8, 2016, will it be the

SEXCAPADE SCANDALS OR EMAILGATE

which will Drive the Presidential Election?

As thehill.com reports FBI rocks presidential race, on October 26, 2016 Rosalind S. Helderman and Tom Hamburger of the Washington Post had provided us with a glimpse Inside Bill Clinton Inc.: Hacked memo reveals intersection of charity and personal income.

Therein they write: When top Bill Clinton aide Douglas Band wrote the memo, he was a central player at the Clinton Foundation and president of his own corporate consulting firm. Over the course of 13 pages, he made a case that his multiple roles had served the interests of the Clinton family and its charity. In doing so, Band also detailed a circle of enrichment in which he raised money for the Clinton Foundation from top-tier corporations such as Dow Chemical and Coca-Cola that were clients of his firm, Teneo, while pressing many of those same donors to provide personal income to the former president.

But the revelation of quid-pro-quo politics has taken a backseat to the Sexcapade issues which have permeated not only the 2016 election but elections of the past.

Lately, the public has been inundated with the Donalds alleged Sexcapades as revealed on news networks with the help of attorney to the stars Gloria Allred and her alleged victims who try to get the tears to flow on cue.

But this is nothing new as the American public had already been introduced to past and current sexual indiscretions by others with links to the White House. The difference was that those scandals the news media in 2016 left to die on the vine although they had legitimacy. But at least one has again surfaced not because of an alleged tie of Emailgate to Watergate but because of Emailgate to Weinergate! Confused? Well lets start from the beginning.

It began in the late 90s when the infamous quote surfaced by Bill Clinton--I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

Ultimately that headline was replaced with the one published soon thereafter and again on August 18, 2015 by the New York Daily News which read Bill Clinton admits to a relationship with Lewinsky in 1998. And as www.history.com writes this ultimately lead to Bill Clintons impeachment.

Which as www.history.com further notes and we quote: On December 19, 1998, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached Bill Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with the sexual relationship he had with White House intern Monica Lewinsky between late 1995 and early 1997. On February 12, 1999, the U.S. Senate acquitted the president of the charges and he remained in office. Clinton was the second American president to be impeached. The first, Andrew Johnson (1808-75), was impeached in 1868 and also later acquitted. Continue reading at http://www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/bill-clinton

And as the Clinton Emailgate scandal has been unfolding, where some drew a correlation to Watergate, now the focus is on Weinergate as we learned within the past 48 hours, as disclosed by the ZeroHedge.com that FBI Found Tens Of Thousands Of Emails Belonging To Huma Abedin On Weiners Laptop.

Zerohedge reports according to the NYT, the number of Huma emails that made their way to Weiners PC was staggering: The F.B.I. is investigating illicit text messages that Mr. Weiner, a former Democratic congressman from New York, sent to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina.

To which the Washington Post headline reads Clinton aide Huma Abedin has told people she doesnt know how her emails wound up on her husbands computer

But the latest Weinergate scandal which appears to involve a 15 year old girl, was preceded by at least two others; i.e. one in 2011 and another in 2013.

In 2011, Anthony Weiner now the estranged husband of Huma Abedin was a sitting Democrat U. S. Congressman when the press disclosed that he was using social media to send sexually explicit pictures of himself to several women while married to Abedin. He ultimately resigned his congressional seat on June 23, 201l.

But Weiners apparent addiction to sexting and political office brought him again into the spotlight again as a 2013 candidate for Mayor of New York. During his candidacy, he sexted three women again using social media. In at least one he used the alias Carlos Danger and was exposed by the website The Dirty. As he ignored calls to resign from the 2013 New York mayoral primary, he took 5^th place and only garnered 4.9% of the vote.

And Chris Lee of Fortune on May 19, 2016 provided further insight in the headlined article captioned Weiner Shines Uncomfortable Light on Huma Abedin, Clintons Top Aide.

Therein the reporter writes the following: For Weiners wife Huma Abedin-a longtime Hillary Clinton aide de camp who now serves as vice chair of the presidential frontrunners election campaign-the humiliation and public scrutiny of being caught up in Weinergate Part 2 took a steep toll. Its like Im living a nightmare, Abedin says in a scene in the new documentary Weiner. Continue reading at http://fortune.com/2016/05/19/weiner-documentary-huma-abedin

Yes, thats right a documentary was made on Weinergate and it has been brought into the homes of many Americans through their television sets, etc.

But finally someone is asking a more than relevant question.

Why hadnt the FBI already checked Humas shared computer? And did disgraced Weiner have access to confidential Clinton emails?

The key questions sparked by the shock revival of Hillary investigation and as presented by dailymail.co.uk.
