Did you know that Hillary Clinton won her first election because her opponent JFK Jr. died in a plane crash? I wonder why this baseless conspiracy video was removed.

That sure seems like a lot of dead people in the vicinity of the Clintons. Now, the problem with this is that you also need to keep a tally of how many people were near her compared to other people and correct that for time spent and perhaps other metrics. If you then compare that to other people or other Presidents or First ladies, then you would have a nice graph where you can perhaps cluster them by "murderers" and "statistical noise". Right now, it's just a "conspiracy theory".

Regarding that airplane crash (see https://www.ntsb.gov/about/employment/_layouts/15/ntsb.aviation/brief2.aspx?akey=1&ev_id=20001212x19354&ntsbno=nyc99ma178), it was just human incompetence (or malicious behavior) too, since the backup battery for the flight data recorder was not there. No plane should ever be allowed to leave an airfield with a political candidate without a flight data recorder working.

LOL. I hope you're being sarcastic

No, I think incompetence and negligence is much more widespread than straight up assassins, unless you have further evidence, that is.

Thing is, if people start conveniently dying around you on the regular, it won't just be the conspiracists noticing that shit but people who might find themselves on that list some day will notice too. And if they're the sort of people worth an accident, then they're the sort of people who can arrange an accident of their own.

So yeah, some of the people whose deaths were awfully convenient for this or that Clinton had to be genuine accidents, otherwise I'm pretty sure Hillary or Bill would have eaten some bad fugu or something by now.
