Clinton on Foundation Accusations: "I Know There's A Lot Of Smoke And There Is No Fire"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 8/24/2016 | Ian Schwartz

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton phones in to CNN's Anderson Cooper to address questions about the Clinton Foundation, her time at the State Department, her private server and more.

"Look, Anderson, I know there is a lot of smoke and there is no fire," Clinton said Wednesday night in a telephone interview with Cooper. "This AP report put in it context. This excludes nearly 2,000 meetings I had with world leaders. And countless other meetings with U.S. government officials when I was secretary of state. It looks at a small portion of my time."

Clinton cited a meeting with noted Holocaust survivor and novelist Elie Wielsel as an example of someone she met with as Secretary of State who has connections with the foundation.

"It draws a conclusion and makes a suggestion that my meetings with people like the late, great Elie Wiesel or Melinda Gates or the Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus were somehow due to connections with the foundation instead of their status as highly respected global leaders," Clinton argued.

I recall election 1992 and the worry that the Clintons would bring Arkansas corruption to Washington, D.C.

google something like, jerry brown clinton arkansas corruption washington
and limit the search to 1992 and 1993.

example SHARP EXCHANGE MARKS DEMOCRATIC DEBATE March 16, 1992 Clinton Democrat primary opponent Jerry Brown describing the Clintons: "It's not only corruption . . . it's the kind of conflict of interest that is incompatible with the kind of public servant that we expect as president."

Were these people major contributors to the Clinton Foundation? Well, maybe Melinda Gates. But the others?

Well, I do have to hand it to Illary - she does obfuscate with the best of them.

The AP report indicated that you, Illary, met with 154 private people (i.e. non-governmental officials from any country), and that 85 of them were donors to the Clinton Foundation. That’s 55% of your private meetings, and they collectively donated about $156 million ($1.83 million EACH, on average) to the Foundation.

THAT is what is being talked about, NOT how many people you met with from foreign governments - which was part of your freaking JOB, you corrupt, fat, brain-damaged, lying bitch!

2000 world leaders? That’s 1.5 meetings a day with a world leader, for all 1,462 days of her tenure as SecState. No freaking way is that even CLOSE to accurate.
