Perhaps the most important thing a President is charged with doing is the decision to make war. If Hillary is elected but no one trusts her how will she convince the public to support her decision should it arise?

Paying money for access IS bribery.

Why not indeed.....

What you dont understand is liberal movers/shakers view themselves as the standard of ethics and morals. You OTOH are not. This is why they are allowed and you are not. Its a Big People vs Little People thing. Get it now?

Democrats are perfectly fine when women kill fetuses/babies in the womb. Should we expect them to be outraged over money laundering?

Two questions for Hillary:

Will all of your cabinet members have private email servers?

Will all of your cabinet members have private foundations that accept donations from foreign countries and individuals?

Wow, good replies. And I agree even though I am a little slow on the uptake. I have liberal friends who put me down for my views. Again, because they do not believe I “measure up” to their better understood standards and morals.

Our only hope is that there are enough people who don’t accept this cr*p and will vote Trump in November. How else can one put it, she is corrupt and no matter what she supports, her end position will only benefit her at our expense. Why can’t others see this?

let’s not forget that the presumption of impropriety was on the table during Mrs. Clinton’s confirmation hearings. That’s why she went out of her way to promise the Obama Administration and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that there would be a fire wall between the Foundation and her office.
That “presumption of impropriety” is constitutionally mandated:
Article 1 Section 9:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state
Note that it takes an act of Congress - not just of the Senate - to authorize any person who works for the government to accept anything from any foreign government. It follows that every government employee has the affirmative duty to disclose each and every such relationship to Congress. And that, failing Congressional action, any such relationship which was not disclosed to Congress, and authorized by congressional action, is presumptively corrupt.

It is a scandal that Hillary did not say “Mother, may I?” to Congress in advance of each and every acceptance by any entity bearing her name and of which she is a principal of anything from a foreign government. It is more than a scandal that a political party has nominated her for POTUS after this behavior. And it is equally a scandal that there are any state governments which have placed her name on the ballot for a slate of presidential electors.

And if the Electoral College ultimately elects her as POTUS - the scandal might bring on a constitutional crisis.

The only remedy - inadequate as it would be - would be for a judgement in a lawsuit to require the divestment from the Clinton family of any and all such corrupt “presents, emoluments, offices, or titles"

When it is revealed that there are actual fire in the Clinton "Charity" Foundation scandal, not just smokes, in the up coming month, Donna Brazile is going to rationalize that those donors got favors are 'normal behavior' from Hillary too, since they already paid up front.

The whole LEFT will shrug and say "So what?"

Check out this video - outnumbered

Toward the end of the video Julie Roginsky says that all politicians accept bribes. For instance if you are on the senate armed services committee and you are someone who wants a contract, you give a sizable donation.

Worth listening to because we have all seen those charts of senators and house who have accepted money for their votes.

But that didn't preclude the “HIGH TECH COMPANIES” from trying to use bribes on a semi government employee (school district maintenance/construction supervisor), to sell their products to me would it?
I remember it well; you purchase our products for all your classrooms, for your district wide technology remodel (2534 classrooms) and my company will provide YOU with this computer at no cost so you can take it home and test it out for yourself and see how versatile it is.
Told the guy “that's a great idea”, but that I would need at least 800 computers at no cost.
That just one unit for my own use would not do it. I would need the additional computers in order to have online communications with all of my employees, plus the employees of the different departments, and all the administrators in the district.
The look on that guys face was priceless, I think I damn near gave him a heart attack.
Needless to say, his company did not get the contract, in fact I never heard from them again.
I always used to tell my guys “of course I can be bribed, it's just that I am VERY expensive”.
I used to stop the attempts at bribery right up front by telling the hopeful contractors and vendors that my bribe price was; “legal ownership of the entire continental United States west of the Mississippi River, to include Alaska. And absolute dictatorial powers over all the lands and people contained therein”.
Like I said; I can be bribed, I am just VERY EXPENSIVE.

This might be an oversight by Brazile, but on the other hand it might be an attempt to change the system to fit their needs.

Playing up the “everyone does it” concept.

It’s sick, and the people won’t let it fly.

I still can't get over her descent into Southern black twang at the convention. She certainly doesn't speak like that on the news programs she's frequently on.

It was embarrassing.

I am a teacher, could I defend setting up a foundation to solicit cash from my class in return for “extra credit” points? Why not?

Because you're a teacher, not a political criminal, and so you stated what you'd be doing.

Hillary doesn't admit what she's doing even to herself, even in dreams.

You've got a long way to go before you hit the big time.

I know, I cannot understand the number of voters who understand that she is a criminal and dishonest, and running a racket at the expense of the country and will continue to do so if elected who will nevertheless gleefully vote for her.

The country is in a great deal of trouble.
