Weak tea compared to the all-time classic Clintonian construction:

"I do not believe that there is any evidence that I ever changed an administration policy solely on the basis of foreign campaign contributions." -- President William Jefferson Clinton, in relation to the John Huang campaign cash scandal.

Deconstruct that one, if you can.

He's losing his touch.

Hmm ... his statement sounds familiar. Kind of like “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”

Poor ol Bill and a lot of other leftist money-grafting scum like Pelosi and Reid are looking at some hard time.

If only! But this DoJ is not going to investigate nor prosecute.

Exactly. Grifters like the Clintons are really sociopaths - they don’t see anything “inappropriate” with their behavior.

Early in her career, the Democratic head of the Watergate fired Hillary for just that. Iirc, in firing her, he said that not only was she one of the most corrupt people he’d ever met, she was utterly shameless about it.

I’m kind of curious about the sentence construction and whether he thinks it changes the meaning of the words.

“We never knowingly did anything inappropriate” would be normal construction.

“We never did anything knowingly inappropriate” is odd...

It’ll be cited in Supreme Court proceedings a generation from now.

Slick: No appropriate controlling legal authority to rule on what the meaning of the word “is” is, to my knowledge.

That ought to cover it.

Now, who’s got the cigars?

ONCE UPON A TIME IN CLINTONLAND---the tale of the massively profitable transaction to buy uranium mines in Kazakhstan.

Philanthropist Bill Clinton and his Canadian pal, Frank Giustra, fly to Kazakhstan on Giustra's private jet named "Doing Good And Making A Buck On It."

Bill Clinton went to Kazahstan--during election time--a huge no-no in politics----with visions of $$$sugar plums dancing in his head. Clinton lavi$hly prai$ed the candidate, a dictator who won w/ 90% of the vote---an obviously rigged election.

<><> (1) the head of the Kazakhstan agency that oversees the country’s mining, said that Secy of State Hillary Clinton pressured Kazakh officials to sell uranium assets to Giustra’s firm, and,

<><> (2) Bill Clinton adviser Tim Phillips said Hillary would not meet with him until Kazakh officials agreed to Giustra’s nuclear deal.

Seems Secy of State Hillary never informed Obama that she was jerking around foreign policy WRT the sale of 50% of US uranium mine capacity----to a country dealing with Iran.

Barack, Bill, Hillary and Frank sob all the way to the bank.

The End.

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of
the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's
contributions go both directly to the foundation, and,
to a Canadian charity, which in turn sends money to the
Clinton Foundation.

Gotta wonder if it was reviewed and modified by his attorneys first...?

How many slush funds do the Clintons have? Go here to see some of it.

CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE web site
you can peruse 276 web pages of obscure programs
all of them vehicles to raise money
all of them expecting payback w/ Hillary in the WH.

1271 Avenue of the Americas 42nd Floor
New York, NY 10020
212-348-8882

WEB SITE http://www.clintonfoundation.org/clinton-global-initiative

NOTE The do-gooder Clintons calculatedly morphed into
"The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation" .....
giving them even more fund-raising capabilities w/ a friendly "family" aura.

"Smile everybody. Another $100 million came in today."

That’s the problem. The Clinton’s seem to have a definition of inappropriate that excuses them for heinous crimes, crimes for which anyone else would be doing hard time.

I’ve really been wondering for a while now why the MSM seems to be turning on the Coronated One so quickly, like a school of sharks in a feeding frenzy. Two possibilities come to mind:

1. They really really want Fauxcahantas to run, because darn it, even Barak isn’t leftist enough for them these days. Or...

2. (And I think this is more likely personally): They want to get all of this out in the open now, while Joe Q Public is too enamoured with the latest developments on “Survivor” and “American Idol” to care. Then, when the lazy masses turn their attention to the election (which will be in October of 2016), this will be “old news” that Hillary! will be able to say, “Oh that old story? We answered all those questions in 2015. Weren’t you paying attention?” The careful observer will note that while many facts are coming out about this scandal, few hard follow up questions are being asked of the Beast. So when (yes “when”) she says next year “Oh, we answered all those questions”, she will be lying (again) but no one will have the time or will to go back through a year of news reports to find her (lack of) answers to prove it. No, the mere assertion that she answered them will be proof enough for the same media now “crucifying” her.

I hate that I know I’m right about this.

If this is the puff piece that ran on NBC Nightly News Monday night, it seemed to neglect to mention the percentages on where the foundation money is going, and Charity Navigator’s warning about it. It was as softball, warm and fuzzy, and pro-Clinton as could be. Bill claimed to be guilty of nothing but wanting to help poor people and being a victim of politics, and the NBC report supported those claims.

NBC was similarly pro-Clinton last year a couple of times. When Monica Lewinsky surfaced with unflattering words for both Clintons, NBC Nightly News covered it at length but never reported that it tried to get the Clintons’ response, even a “no comment.” Isn’t that proper journalism?

But then when the GOP raised concerns about Hillary’s health due to her concussion, NBC ran Bill’s indignant response for what seemed like a whole minute. Very rare in the age of three second soundbites, and since there’s precious little content to the evening news and it gets less all the time. Devoting unbroken dozens of seconds to one speaker, even a President, is extremely rare.
