Clinton on Foundation Accusations: "I Know There's A Lot Of Smoke And There Is No Fire"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 8/24/2016 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 08/25/2016 11:15:22 AM PDT by Beave Meister

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton phones in to CNN's Anderson Cooper to address questions about the Clinton Foundation, her time at the State Department, her private server and more.

"Look, Anderson, I know there is a lot of smoke and there is no fire," Clinton said Wednesday night in a telephone interview with Cooper. "This AP report put in it context. This excludes nearly 2,000 meetings I had with world leaders. And countless other meetings with U.S. government officials when I was secretary of state. It looks at a small portion of my time."

Clinton cited a meeting with noted Holocaust survivor and novelist Elie Wielsel as an example of someone she met with as Secretary of State who has connections with the foundation.

"It draws a conclusion and makes a suggestion that my meetings with people like the late, great Elie Wiesel or Melinda Gates or the Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus were somehow due to connections with the foundation instead of their status as highly respected global leaders," Clinton argued.

“It looks at a small portion of my time.

People aren’t looking at how much time she spent with illegal activities. People are looking at the illegal activities.

There is no “FIRE” because the director of the FIB and the Attorney General are in the tank! Otherwise she would be headed to jail for BRIBERY!!

OK people now’s your chance, when this thread is complete, copy and paste it to your local Governor, your House Representative, and your Senators...

Make sure you take names of the people off, we don't want the FBI; CIA; or IRS to come after them...

But a good chunk of the voting public need a good hit in the head to keep up with politics.

I remember talking to a guy while shopping that was just sick of what goes on in politics and was SHOCKED to learn Obama doubled the national debt.

Plus most not making 40k a year vote Democrat because they get stuff or extended family gets stuff.

As any good farmer knows, setting fire to a pile of straw used to collect livestock manure always produces more smoke (and odor) than fire.

You don't need a fire to know what's in there. The odor and smoke give plenty of clues.

No joke.

Let’s take her statement at face value.... if I could turn 10% of my meetings into a 100 million cold cash it would be pretty nice!

She sold out our country for cash.

P.S. - Her husband robbed the people of Haiti the charity funds that were donated to help people in need. Thieves and traitors.

The old saying is “where there is a lot of smoke, there isn’t any fire”. Is that how the old saying goes?

Yup. How many forget or were clueless at the time when Obama in one of his first convoluted acts threw about $1 trillion down a rat hole and called it Keynesian “stimulus”? Who besides Trump holds these idiots accountable even though it should be the American People.

Dependence vs. independence. Freedom vs. tyranny. It was, is, and will always be the issue.

Don’t forget, that first Bush loan to banks in the crisis was also paid back. Where did that almost trillion go because the national debt never went down???

The near $1 trillion “stimulus” was never accounted for.

The government, the Left, and Obama are like what Melvin Udall says about women - they are without reason or accountability.

If there is no fire, where did the smoke come from?

A 3 year old could beat this witch in a debate.
