For the title of "Most Fucked Over Politician in American History" I wish to nominate . . . . .

69. The so-called liberal NYT not only tolerated attacks on both Clintons, but especially Hillary,

they allowed on of their most famous writers to attack them with lies and vicious claims. William Safire hated the Clintons, wrote about them frequently, and never apologized when his lies about them were proven to be untrue. The Times never printed a retraction, they just allowed him to spread his evil. More recently, Maureen Dowd, whose work I refuse to read, carried on the Safire diatribes against Hillary. The Times was totally complicit in electing Donald Trump, eapecialoy when they published excerpted parts of Clinton Cash, written by people known to make up lies about the Clintons. They also had article after article about her email controversy while rarely publishing anything about Trump’s bankruptcies, shady business dealings, and his use of illegal immigrants to work on his buildings, amny of whom he refused to pay after the work was done.

Slimy Ken Starr and Brett Kavanaugh spent over $70 million of taxpayer money and investigated every personal and professional aspect of the Clintons’ lives, and the result—lots of fodder for the right wing to make up lies while neither Clinton was ever proved to have committed crimes in the Whitewater controversy. Clinton was impeached because he lied about a personal affair, an affair that was stupid but totally outside the duties of president. Donald Trump was impeached twice for criminal behavior in his duties as president, yet Republicans hold him up as their model of a great president.

We need better media.
