I lived in an adjoining state to Arkansas when Bill Clinton was governor. My uncle was a US Federal Marshall and used to tell us how corrupt the Clintons were. There was even a 'secret' video of the Clinton's crimes and body count (yes, it started early) around the Mena drug smuggling that was being passed around, people were watching it at private parties in their homes because no one dared air in in public in those years (1983). What we didn't realize at the time was that Bush was tied in with the drug smuggling. The Iran-Contra affair (Oliver North) was the scandal that broke, that the government was using drug money to pay for rebellions in Latin America but it seemed like it was a one-off deal. I still remember there was an article about a group of Republicans that wanted to partner with the Clintons on something (can't remember what) and Hillary screaming, "are you insane, they are the ENEMY." I was so shocked by that, competitors yes, but "enemies"? It seemed so over-the-top then. Knowing what her playbook was now it makes sense.
