Hillary Clinton Says She Has 'Never, Ever' Let a Donor Influence Her Vote

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton defended her voting record Sunday in an interview on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," saying she has never been influenced to vote one way or another by a donor.

"I have never, ever been influenced in a view or a vote by anyone who has given me any kind of funding," she said.

The defense came in the wake of criticism over Clinton's alleged ties to Wall Street from her rival for the nomination, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

"I'm happy to set this record straight and I really want to, once again, call out the Sanders campaign, which claims they like to run a positive campaign, but they have been quite artful in raising questions and trying to cast doubts about my record," she said. "I really am not going to sit and take it anymore."

“I have never, ever been influenced in a view or a vote by anyone who has given me any kind of funding,”...Parse them words!

She got $675,000 from Goldman Sachs. Cruz’s wife got a $800,000 a year job from them.

What’s ill conceived?

Our political class is bought and paid for. Instead of free market delivering consequences (bankruptcy) to those who orchestrated the meltdown, they got a bailout care of taxpayers and threw a party.

The whole game is rigged. We need to toss out the political class and start over.

Trump ‘16!

I think the post in an up post hit the truth.

The donations for her vote were to the Clinton Foundation so, "technically", not to her.

Hillary also told debate moderator Chuck Todd that nothing would come of the FBI probe, "I am 100 percent confident. This is a security review that was requested. It is being carried out."

Hillary misleading about email probe during debate, former FBI agents say
Fox News ^ | February 5, 2016 | Catherine Herridge, Pamela K. Browne/ FR Posted by jazusamo

Hillary Clinton used misleading language in Thursday night's Democratic debate to describe the ongoing FBI investigation into her use of a private email server to conduct official government business while she was secretary of state, according to former senior FBI agents.

In the New Hampshire debate with Senator Bernie Sanders, which aired on MSNBC, Clinton told moderator Chuck Todd that nothing would come of the FBI probe, "I am 100 percent confident. This is a security review that was requested. It is being carried out."

Not true says Steve Pomerantz, who spent 28 years at the FBI, and rose from field investigative special agent to the rank of assistant director, the third highest position in the Bureau. "They (the FBI) do not do security reviews," Pomerantz said. "What they primarily do and what they are clearly doing in this instance is a criminal investigation."

Pomerantz emphasized to Fox News, "There is no mechanism for her to be briefed and to have information about the conduct, the substance, the direction or the result of any FBI investigation."

Separately, an intelligence source familiar with the two prongs of the ongoing FBI probe, stressed to Fox that the criminal and national security elements remain "inseparable."

The source, not authorized to speak on the record, characterized Clinton's statement "as a typical Clinton diversion... and what is she going to say, "I'm 95 percent sure that I am going to get away with it?"

Fox recently learned that one of the FBI's senior agents responsible for counterintelligence matters, Charles H. Kable IV, is working the Clinton case, another indicator the intelligence source said that the FBI probe is "extremely serious, and the A-team is handling." (Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...

==========================================

Ace reporter, Catherine Herridge, reported the FBI recovered Hillary/s emails she infamously wiped with a cloth...... these are the crucial emails that kick down the door to the buck-raking Clinton Crime Foundation.....uncovering the swirling vortex of the Clintons/ black hole of crime.

Did you notice that that Obozo is acting strange lately? Looking like he actually believes we have laws (shockeroo). B/c no one believes Obozo was oblivious to what the Clintons were doing.....he/s in this mess up to his half-caste neck. Plus his two post-presidential get-rich-quick foundations must be in deep doodoo.

She didn’t “Let” doners influence her.

She made it happen.

She showed them how and helped them do it.

If she sold access to the State Department, would she admit it?

Otherwise, what is the symbiosis?

Another quote from the “Best Politician Money Can Buy.” We had slick Willy, now we have slickier Hillary. Don’t forget ladies, she’s there to help you, at least right up to the actual election. After she gets elected, nothing will be gained, it will be the Republicans fault for not getting along with her. Almost a quarter of a century, and she won’t go away. Hopefully after Nov 8th she’ll be gone.

If she’s not in prison, her next job will be on Home Shopping Network selling waffle makers.

Based on Hillary’s past actions, she must vote prior to receiving the money. Therefore, they were only potential donors.

Hillary Clinton Says She Has 'Never, Ever' Let a Donor Influence Her Vote

What a relief! I was worried about that possibility.

I'm so glad Hillary cleared the issue up with her ardent declaration.

If Hillary had simply said "never" instead of "never, ever", I might have had some lingering doubts as to her integrity.

Whew! The lamestream media will be so relieved now that they've gotten to the bottom of this controversy. I sincerely hope that they tirelessly and continuously report this important revelation as "BREAKING NEWS" to the People at large, so we can all rest easier...

I’m sure she was well paid for defending the child rapist down in AR and had no problem taking that money.

Even the Democrat house organs like ABC News are moving onto the second order of the Hillary email scandal — the selling of political influence.
