Influenced, no. Bought and paid for YES.

Nope, no outside forces whatsoever. Nope just good ol’ fashion play to play the Clinton way. No a outside force. It is normal for her. Treason runs thru her blood.

Everything she says is a lie, including “the” and “and”(Mary McCarthy reference).

Every defense will be along the lines of “no personal attack ever fed a hungry child.”

Technically, she is correct. The State Department was a subsidiary of the Clinton Foundation (or vice versa?) so it was not an outside force.

From the article :

“Mika, I am sure and I am sure because I have a very strong foundation, understanding about the foundation … that the kind of work that the foundation has done, which attracted donors from around the world. It is work that went right in to providing services to people as we have said before. Neither my husband, my daughter nor I have ever taken a penny of salary from the foundation.”

“My work as secretary of state was not influenced by any outside forces,” she continued. “I made policy decisions based on what I thought was right – to keep Americans safe and protect our interests abroad. I believe my aides also acted appropriately. And we have gone above and beyond, most of the charities that I understand, beyond the legal requirements, beyond standards, to voluntarily disclose donors, and also to reduce sources of funding that raised any questions, not that we thought they were necessarily legitimate. But to avoid those questions. So we’re going to go at this I believe in the right way. I’m trying to make sure the good work continues as we wind it down.

Hmmm!

Someone needs to play the song for her that Jimmy Fallon played when Michele Bachmann walked onto his set :”Lyin’ A$$ B!tch”.

Congenital liars never can. EVERYTHING that comes out of her (and Obomination's) mouth is a lie!

Hildabeast is so delusional she still believes if she continues to lie about her lies the unwashed masses of "little people" will still believe her.

The problem is: The little boy has spoken long and loud and we the people have our eyes wide open; "The Hildabeast is lying and she has no cloths!"

Excellent. She’s now on the defensive. Probably won’t be off of it for the rest of the campaign.

How would she ever had time to do anything else?

Since we now know that at least half of her official meetings were pay to play for those who deposited with the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation and a good portion of the rest of the time was hiding stuff with Huma and company, and flying continually around the world, there was only a sliver of time left for any other business or responsibilities or oversight or guidance in being Secretary of State of the U.S.A.

What kind of work as ‘the foundaion’ done? According to a report last week, 93% went for expenses.

They spent only 7% on good causes? What were they?

I think only Bill Clintoon could get away with that one.

I think hilLIARy would bungle it “like If you ask me that you want children to starve” which no one would buy from her

Klintoon did not have sex with that woman, Monica, either. Liars, liars, pantsuits on fires!

Hillary’s “I am not a crook” moment I guess.

Her official calendars listing her activity at the State Dept. were released recently. Half of the meetings she attended at the State Dept. were with Clinton Foundation donors. If you consider all the meetings a Sec of State has to attend, that is an astounding figure. She was sitting in her office raking in cash in exchange for favors to fat cat donors.

It's time for a lesson regarding "conflict of interest".

First, "conflict of interest" does not mean that anybody has done anything wrong. It simply means that a person has more than one interest and that there may be circumstances in which an action benefiting one interest may harm the other or vice versa.

The solution to conflicts of interest is to MANAGE THE CONFLICT.

Let's use Hillary Clinton's interests as an example.

Hillary certainly had an interest in serving the American people when she accepted the position of Secretary of State. She had a duty to serve those interests and to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the U.S.

At the same time she was Secretary of State, she also had an interest in the success of the Clinton Foundation. That interest is clearly expressed in the very name of the organization.

To suggest that there was no "conflict of interest" in Hillary having a foundation and serving as Secretary of State is simply nonsense. She had a duty to the U.S. as Secretary and she had a duty to the donors to the Foundation. THAT IS THE CONFLICT.

What remains is to discuss whether the conflict, which nobody should doubt existed, was managed properly.

The second fact that must be recognized is that the conflicted person is automatically unsuitable to act as manager of their own conflict of interest. Only a third party who has no particular interest in either side of the conflict should act as manager.

So, the first question to be answered is, "Did Hillary have a conflict of interest?" The answer is absolutely and unequivocally, "YES".

The second question is, "Was Hillary's conflict of interest managed properly?" And the answer to this question is absolutely and unequivocally, "NO".

This failure is more than sufficient to exclude Hillary from, not only the Presidency, but from any position of authority whatsoever.

Why does anyone even bother to interview her? What is it — 75% of Americans believe she’s a liar? Why waste people’s time with interviews?

“This failure is more than sufficient to exclude Hillary from, not only the Presidency, but from any position of authority whatsoever.”

Under a fair and just government that failure would be enough to send her to prison.

Let us not forget the billions of dollars obtained by Clinton, through the conduit of her Foundation, for committing treason against the United States.
