ABC Breaking News
Newly released State Department emails help reveal how a major Clinton Foundation donor was placed on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board even though he had no obvious experience in the field, a decision that appeared to baffle the department’s professional staff. The emails further reveal how, after inquiries from ABC News, the Clinton staff sought to “protect the name” of the Secretary, “stall” the ABC News reporter and ultimately accept the resignation of the donor just two days later.
Copies of dozens of internal emails were provided to ABC News by the conservative political group Citizens United, which obtained them under the Freedom of Information Act after more the two years of litigation with the government.

Is the press trying to get these stories out now because Trump is about to blow the lid off of it, and people are going to wonder why these guys haven’t been covering this stuff?
Today is the regular Friday news dump day.
The abcnews link at the top goes to the video news item.
Friday news dump.
The Clintoon scandal fatigue syndrom will set in soon enough and no one will care.

**************
ABC never ever refers to liberal political groups as “liberal”. Only conservative groups get labeled with adjectives. Just sayin....
Maybe the press wants this out because they hope Bernie or Pocahontas will step into the void if Hillary’s knocked out.
They sure ain’t doing it for our benefit.

Did you notice how ABC attributed the story to a conservative group? Guess they think the fifty thousand storied they get from democrat operative are now officially off-set.
Forget jail, both Bill & Hillary need to be stood up in front of a firing squad.
My thoughts exactly.
They can dump it today so they think no one will see it.
It will be news again come next week.
They did give ABC's reporter a bad time over it at the convention in 2012, threatened to have him (Brian Ross) arrested. Commenter, well Trump throws the media out.
But no matter how you slice it, the shit has hit the fan on this one although Trump is still in political purgatory over doubling down on a racist comment about a racist judge. Now it's Trump didn't pay his bills. This Hillary story the appointee to the nuclear board in question donated generously to a PAC to pay Hillary's losing campaign debts after 2008. I don't know if she ever paid her debts in Iowa or not.
This guy donated 250K to the Clinton Foundation and was given the nucklear board position. Then the board questioned his qualifications. And it was thanks to FOIA requests and a fight by Citizens United that these emails came to light. It's not clear to me why they didn't come to light with the other FOIA request(s) and emails that have been released in batches.
Despite all that, after donating about $1M to the Clinton Foundation, he was appointed as one of the Democratic super delegates in Philly.
“The Clintoon scandal fatigue syndrom will set in soon enough and no one will care.”
So basically shut up about it and go crawl into the corner?
CAN YOU PEOPLE STOP USING THAT DAMN GOPE PLAYBOOK?
I swear I’m sick of hearing the whiny little excuses from people here on this stuff.
No one is going to care because YOU are sitting on your butts telling yourselves they wont!
I have to wonder about what there haven’t been any Senate and/or House investigations into the blatant conflicts of interest and outright corruption by the Clinton Foundation.
If you scroll down the text report is there.
This is very interesting. Another example of Hillary for sale. Obama has made quite a few appointments of people whose only qualification was being a big donor also.
I think the poster is describing Clinton fatigue from the liberal media’s point of view.
I agree. Talk about it to people you know that don’t keep up with news like we do on this forum. Post it on other forums. Volunteer at a PAC or the Trump campaign and get stuff out.
Everyone on FR should have at least 3-5 other forums that are not right-leaning by design, that they post on.
Getting a Twitter account and just liking and re-tweeting Trump’s posts alone is a big help.
