AP Story on Conflicts of Interest Puts Hillary on the Defensive
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/27/16 | Roger Aronoff

Posted on 08/27/2016 8:08:24 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

The relationship between the Clinton Foundation and her State Department is proving to be a significant problem for Hillary Clinton

The Clinton family’s history of pay-for-play while Hillary was secretary of state is blatant, willful, and indisputable. The latest chapter in the Clintons’ quid pro quo scheme was brought to light by the Associated Press. But many in the media have quickly moved past this story, even insisting that the AP was cherry-picking their data to make Mrs. Clinton look bad. Some news organizations, such as CNN, reported the latest revelations as being pounced on by the Trump campaign—rather than the product of excellent investigative reporting by the AP, a solid, member-in-good-standing of the liberal media establishment that apparently stepped out of line, just a little bit.

The media also have dwelled on, and repeatedly mentioned, the story that Trump might be waffling on his immigration policy. Where is the similar passion given to a legitimate story of Clinton corruption?

Could it be that AP foresees a Trump triumph, and wants to start to get politically positioned in a more advantageous way.

There is enough potential dirt on Hillary to make a whole hog farm, to mix metaphors a bit. It is going to stink to be in her position.

But let us not forget to exalt the Lord. Hillary’s dirt is dirt that we, too, might fall for some day if we did not accept a divine salvation.

Maybe the MSM is starting to sense a wounded politician and are starting to circle to devour.

Of course for the Clinton News Network, “pounced on” is the story, not the wrongdoing.

Crooked Hillary the Bigot the Whore of Islam, will be rejected by honest, law biding, Christian Americans in November if she makes it that far.

Wonder if the media fears being caught left in the dark when WikiLeaks releases the dirt in her very soon.

Too many of the general public have begun to realize the media has been less than truthful and their business needs to sell advertising.

But then Bernie Backers would go beserk

Last night I took the time to watch “Clinton Cash” and it was stunning. If anyone in government ignores all that we are cooked geese.

Clinton and other politicos responses to scandals:
1. Deny, deny, deny;
2. Parse, spin, obfuscate, lie;
3. Lie again;
4. "I don't recall";
5. "Mistakes were made";
6. Accuse others (Johnny did it too, Mommy);
7. Massage the lies;
8. Make back-room deals that coerce and threaten (think Comey after Billy and Lynch meeting);
9. Stall to run out the clock;
10. Pronounce as yesterday's news.
