Clinton on foundation attacks: 'I know there's a lot of smoke, and there's no fire'
CNN ^ | 5, 2016. 2 | Theodore Schleifer and Dan Merica,

Hillary Clinton slammed Donald Trump and issued a strong defense of the Clinton Foundation Wednesday amid the Republican nominee's claims that she used public office for personal gain.

Speaking to CNN's Anderson Cooper in her first national news interview in nearly a month, Clinton pushed back against Trump's accusations and issued perhaps her most succinct answers on her use of a private email server during her time leading the State Department.

What is the Clinton Foundation and why is it controversial?

"What Trump has said is ridiculous," Clinton said. "My work as secretary of state was not influenced by any outside forces. I made policy decisions based on what I thought was right."

Sure. And we should all just believe her, despite the growing amount of evidence.

Hillary going up against the ancient proverb about smoke and fire?

Next thing she’ll tell us is that she can hold the tide back using telekinesis.

Smoke is the result of combustion, the damned idiot. Is she letting us about some new type of smoke?

I cannot wait for her to be crushed. Also, it’s the only way Obama gets to see his presidency get -rejected-.

The old bit@h was Americas head diplomat. A head diplomat deals with foreign nations. She was given tens of millions of dollars by foreigners.

CORRUPT! Anything else is pure BS.

She lies about EVERYTHING; even when it isn’t necessary! I wouldn’t believe her if she said it was raining!

Well guess what, Shrillary, there should not even be all this “smoke”..... don’t Yale lawyers learn ANYTHING about avoiding the appearance of ethical malfeasance, the appearance of conflicts of interest????

Even if there were nothing more than what you claim it is, that in itself is a total disgrace!!

There are huge billows and billows and billows of dark Clinton smoke, with more billowing up every day.

Hillary must not have taken elementary school science. Where’s there’s smoke, there’s fire, Hillary.

Where there’s a lot of smoke, there’s a lot of fire.

[Clinton said] "My work as secretary of state was not influenced by any outside forces. I made policy decisions based on what I thought was right."

I bet there's hardly an American in this nation that can read the above sentences without laughing out loud...

Vote Trump!

Killary’s favorite defense: “Who you gonna believe? Me or your lyin’ eyes?”
And after all these years of using it she can still say it with conviction.

First canon of ethics: Avoid the appearance of impropriety.

Of course using the words ethics and Clinton on the same page is absurd.

A meeting with 1 donor: a coincidence.
A meeting with 10: it starts to smell bad.
A meeting with 85 of 154: that’s how RICO cases are made.

This stupid, brazen criminal just doesn’t get it.

But then again, we’re talking about family that dickered over what the definition of “is” is.
