Clinton Estate a Crime Scene, Steel Barrel Graves Found-Fiction!

Summary of eRumor:
Dead bodies have been found in “steel barrel graves” at the Clinton estate, and Bill and Hillary Clinton are under criminal investigation.
The Truth:
A website that fabricates news stories is behind false claims that dead bodies have been found in steel barrel graves at the Clinton Estate, which is now an active crime scene.
The latest installment of the running “Clinton Body Count” conspiracy theory started with a post appearing at the website Freedom Crossroads under the headline, “Clinton Estate Is Officially A Crime Scene As 11 More ‘Steel Barrel Graves’ Are Uncovered.” The report begins:

After the body parts of three women were found last night in a barrel unearthed from the garden area of the Clinton Estate in upstate New York, ground penetrating radar was brought in to analyze the entire property. Within a few hours, eleven more possible sites were pinpointed and excavation began.

By dawn, 11 more identical steel 55-gallon drums were awaiting transport to Quantico with an immaculate chain of evidence. They will arrive and be opened later today.

Now that the discovery seems to be complete, the issue should turn to the Clintons. Everyone knows they’re killers. You can already get odds in Vegas on how many of the barrels are for Hillary’s victims and how many are Bill’s. Then the question becomes…can you make it stick? The Clintons are smart and powerful and always one step ahead of the game.

The post even included a photo of one of the so-called steel barrel graves at the Clinton Estate. A reverse Google image search, however, revealed that the photo actually shows a steel drum buried in 2001 by researchers at the University of Nevada to serve as a geophysical test target: Coincidentally, the same image in separate false reports that Monica Lewinsky had been found dead:

The most important detail might be the disclaimer that appears in the footer of Freedom Crossroads’ website:

We believe that there is nothing more precious than the mind of an aging conservative. Here we gather a boatload of bullhonkey, works of pure satirical fiction, to give the fist-shakers of the world a reason to hate. Reality is often in the eye of the beholder. You won’t find any of it here. Join the fun in the comments on our Facebook page where you too can watch David Hasselhoff running over someone’s poodle magically transformed into a crime against humanity by Barack Obama or yet another murder the Clintons got away with.

And, as is often the case, reports of steel barrel graves at the Clintons Estate has been picked up and re-reported by a network of fake news websites. The Freedom Crossroads report, and all additional reports of steel barrel graves at the Clinton Estate, should be considered fiction.
