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."

Integrity is doing the right thing even if no one is watching.
C S Lewis

Hillary doesn’t seem to care whether anyone is watching or not. She’s gone rogue.

That's right! Keep Hillary on the defensive. Keep attacking, Donald!

The more Hillary talks, the more chance the public will catch her in a blatant lie.

She said she was doing what was right when making decisions as secretary...but right in her mind means giving favors to donors who paid he millions for that service. Only makes sense to a crook, right?

Anderson Cooper let her off the hook regarding her lie about Colin Powell and her saying she doesn’t want to relitigate that conversation. He should have pressed her for an answer.

There's only one thing that Gloria Vanderbilt's son knows how to press and it ain't Democrat politicians.

Just why isn’t this old hag traitor in prison? I hope Righteous Justice soon pays her a visit. She is a subhuman criminal.

YUP. Both Powell and Rice said they don’t know wtf she’s talking about, Powell didn’t say such a thing..... so Shrillary is allowed to slink away without owning up to the fact that she MADE IT UP, i.e., LIED again.

There might’ve been smoke, but she and BJ didn’t inhale.

IF the Senate had backed the House and REMOVED Bill
Clinton’s crooked pecker from the Presidency; I do not
think we would still have Hitler-y rearing her ugly head
at this stage.

Some insist we would still be here stuck in “Clintonville”;
but I doubt it. Not normal.

These people can do what ever they want and get away with. I have never seen such in your face corruption while giving the American people the middle finger.

“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 did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.”

Just more of the same from the Clintons.

If only 10-20% of the “donations” are going out to people they are claiming they help, there is a LOT of fire to go along with the smoke.

She seems OK with the smoke. Can she explain why there is so much smoke?
