Hillary Clinton Struggles Under Scrutiny During Final Presidential Debate
nola.com ^ | Oct 20, 2016 | The Washington Post

Hillary Clinton received a pointed question during the final debate that echoed a criticism she has faced for months: Was her family's global charity a "pay-to-play" arrangement in which donors got special favors from her State Department?

She did not initially respond with a direct yes or no.

"Well, everything I did as secretary of state was in furtherance of our country's interests and our values," she said as she went on to list a number of Clinton Foundation achievements such as distributing HIV medication.

When moderator Chris Wallace asked her again, Clinton responded that "there's no evidence" - but was cut off as Wallace turned to Republican nominee Donald Trump, who railed against the foundation for taking money from foreign countries hostile to women and gays.

"It's a criminal enterprise," Trump said, adding later: "Why don't you give back the money?"

Harry Truman once said that you could not get rich in politics unless you were a crook. The Clintons have amassed over $250 million during their years in politics, and want even more. Corrupt Hillary is a lying sick old crook, who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything she says and does, or causes to be said or done, must be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Her promises are worthless, unless they enrich her in some way. Her husband is a rapist and a pedophile whom she has actively enabled

Any time you use the words, "There's No Evidence", in a speech, a debate, anywhere, you screwed yourself.

But I guess that little nuance will be bulldozed over.

How fired is Chris Wallace this morning? Still shaking my head in wonder...

His old man, Mike Wallace, may have been a flaming liberal but he did some damn good investigative journalism. When Mike Wallace showed up with a 60 Mintues cameraman at your door, you were screwed. Maybe there’s hope for the acorn yet.

I just can’t believe the Murdocks allowed this. Unless maybe they figured out that pissing off half or more of their audience isn’t good for bidness...

Always a Clintonian word parsing response. For those younger people, in the 90s the Clintons were famous for their legalese word parsings where they could claim to be telling the truth without actually saying anything.

Question: Is your foundation a pay to play scheme?

Answer: "There is no evidence that the foundation is a pay to play organization." That wasn't an answer to the question. The question requires a yes or no answer.

Agreeing with Dog here. You made the point. We all agree. Please stop slapping that text on the start of every thread.

We can hope that Americans see that she was caught, and tried to wiggle her way out of it.

Even better would be "you can't prove that!"

In the final debate before her coronation the queen is asked pointed questions. How unfair! Chris Wallace must be a misogynist.

"Well, everything I did as secretary of state was in furtherance of our country's interests and our values,"

If you have to use the word "furtherance" in a debate answer, it should set off an automatic fact-check alert. The BS meter is pegged on this remark.

Chris was a bit of an ass when he claimed Trump “lied” about Aleppo being defeated. WTF was that about? Wallace must be one of the chicken hawks that wants war with Russia.
