Bill: Sure, Foundation donors expected favors from State Dept… Obviously
Hot Air ^ | SEPTEMBER 20, 2016 | LARRY O'CONNOR

Bill Clinton told NPR Monday that it was only “natural” for certain donors to his foundations to expect favors from the Clinton State Department:

“It was natural for people who’ve been our political allies and personal friends to call and ask for things. And I trusted the State Department wouldn’t do anything they shouldn’t do.”

But did the Foundation staff tell these donors that there was a clear and impenetrable firewall between preventing them from even asking the State Department for things? Did the State Department immediately respond to these requests with a firm and definitive “no” because it was p[art of the policy and culture at the Clinton State Department that there was to be no interaction or blurring of the lines between the non-profit organizations raking in millions of un-regulated funds for Bill while the nation’s diplomatic efforts were handled by Hill?

Same old same old: Deny, deny, and transition to proudly stating “Sure, I did it. Everyone does.”

That would be illegal if any ordinary Secretary of State did it, and a scandal of historic proportions.

Maybe he doesn’t know what the meaning f the word ‘bribe’ is?

I am REALLY wondering if he doesnt want to be the first lady.

Typical Clitonesque. I am unfamiliar with the concept of folks “giving” MILLIONS and failing to get. I suspect folks who have millions to “give” are unfamiliar with the concept as well. They usually have big friends named “Knuckles” I am given to understand...

Of course, it’s only natural. But, only if you’re dishonest first.

If the State Dept was for sale while HC was SoS, can you even begin to imagine her in the White House??!!

She is obviously on the hook for all the speech money she and BC took in and her ‘investors’ are expecting a return.

I’ve heard speculation that Bill is unconsciously undermining his wife’s run for President ... this is pretty strong evidence of that.

He takes it very casually so that means they did nothing wrong, right..?

Yeah, and it will be entertaining to see what crawls out of the woodwork when she loses and they express their disappointment.

Wow. Bill just admitted to special treatment at the State Dept. for his "friends".

I eagerly await the headlines blaring from CNN, NY Times, and Washington Post.

Or not.

This pedophile and Hillary were big time hippies in the late 60’s early 70 timeframe. His BS about this being some norm is pure hogwash.

I am sure since she is sick and not a shoo-in that what is most important to her is on the table which is why she is going through everything she is. If you have every been really sick, you know how near impossible it is just to get out of bed somedays. If she has all kinds of medical issues going on and she has all these people propping her up and someone else is calling the shots I expect her to just collapse one day.
