Hold on; we may finally be getting some fireworks in this lackluster presidential campaign -- as the Clinton Foundation scandal seems to be gathering steam.
Could the Clintons finally have to face the music for their adult-lifetime of corruption? Is it possible that Hillary Clinton's lifelong scheme to be America's first female president could be derailed by this power couple's wanton venality?
I've watched closely through the years the Clintons' uncanny agility at hurdling real scandals and coming out almost unscathed. Yes, Bill Clinton was impeached, but what a dud that turned out to be, with Clinton rising to the figure of beloved statesman among Democrats and his accusers being painted as petty partisans.
There has been no justice, and they have made off like bandits ever since. One might argue that it's unfair to impute Bill Clinton's misdeeds to his wife, but but it's not a matter of imputation. Hillary Clinton has been integrally involved every step of the way -- from enabler to enforcer to joint participant. Don't ever forget her complicity, such as her leading role in destroying the train of women who dared to blow the whistle on him.
From the beginning, these two have stepped all over people (Travelgate) and mutually abused .and destroyed Bill's harassment victims. But do you remember the grating mantra of the Clinton-guarding media? "These are private matters that have nothing to do with his public life. Private conduct is irrelevant to one's fitness for public office."
Well, these disgraceful hacks don't have that excuse in their arsenal of dodges this time. There is no way even a journalism school valedictorian could credibly argue that the Clinton Foundation graft didn't directly involve the public interest.
The media and Democratic Party's joint alibis for the Clintons through the years have puffed the Clintons up with a sense of invincibility. The couple have to believe there is nothing they could do that would bring them down.
When I first heard about the foundation's influence peddling, I had little doubt there was truth to it, but I had no expectation that anything would come of it. In a sense, the Clintons have benefited from the plethora of charges leveled against them over the years. After a while, these allegations -- no matter how credible -- become just noise and are easily characterized as another chapter in a decades-long partisan witch hunt.
It's awfully convenient for the Clintons and their liberal hatchet men to paint every scandal as a politically motivated slander, but when the media and the Democratic Party themselves always refuse to put truth above their own ideological and political interests, it's inevitable that only Republicans would bring these charges.
But the Clinton Foundation scandal seems to be different. It is objectively true that the Clintons have become mega-millionaires since the close of Bill's second term -- and they've done it through exorbitant speaking fees, which, absent other consideration, couldn't possibly benefit the payers commensurate to their payments, and bizarre contributions to their foundation by foreign interests that had unusual access to Hillary's State Department.
Bill Clinton flippantly dismissed the suggestion of any quid pro quo, saying there is no evidence that any of the donors received anything for their donations. When asked whether there is at least an appearance of impropriety, he said, "I'm not responsible for anybody else's perception." It couldn't be more fitting that he was the first postmodern president. He lent Oval Office credence to the demonic lie that words have no meaning apart from what people choose individually to assign to them. He's unctuously transitioned from "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is" to "I can't be held accountable for your accurate perception that my wife and I are wholly corrupt and have not only used our public positions to financially profit but also compromised and damaged the nation's interests in the process."
Just think about the charge that Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain secured a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that led to her approval of certain extremely controversial arms sales to Bahrain after his kingdom donated up to $150,000 directly to the Clinton Foundation and some $32 million to the Clinton Global Initiative. This alone would be enough to bring down a deified Roman emperor.
The Associated Press reported that more than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state donated to the Clinton Foundation either individually or through related entities. Clinton apologists are already trying to tell us there's nothing to see here, but sentient human beings know better.
No president in modern history, including Richard Nixon, has been the scandal virtuoso that both of the Clintons are in their own right. The jig just may be up.
WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange promises more email dumps that will bring Hillary Clinton down. Wouldn't it be the profoundest poetic justice if the Clintons were done in by the very emails Hillary thought she had deep-sixed months ago?
I know. Really sad.
It really bothers me that there are people in the media who see this and look the other way. They even look the American people in the eye and under report this or ignore the story because it doesn't fit their agenda.
I understand media people like to have a job, and if they went against the wishes of their bosses, they would not be employed for long. Still, to spew propaganda and not report this makes them enemies of the American people.
You’re probably right.
There is a woman I know. Her name is Karma. She has a sixth sense and powers that no one else has. I call her a superwoman. She knows the heart of people like the Clintons. Hillary, are you reading this all knowing god of gog? Karma knows der Hildebeast is a bad bad girl. She is really bad.
Karma has a consequence for Hillary and it is not good. It will begin with a cough. Cough! Cough! It is baaaad Karma! People like her might choke on a bone and drop dead. In Hillary’s case, Karma will bring a painful death. Very painful and very bad like coughing on a sharp bone that hurts really bad as she chokes to death. Or, like the modern version of the Wicked Witch melting when water is thrown on her. I know that is a fantasy tale, but what if a bucket of water was thrown on her that caused her to melt and make her scream. Karma has her powers and will be soooo baaad!
Whatever it is, it has been extensive and constantly changing, IMO. She still can’t climb stairs on her own.

It’s simple. The Clinton’s are useful tools for the international Marxist Left. Furthering the cause of Marxism is all that matters.
I still hang on to my hypothesis that bad things don’t happen to the Clintons because it has yet to be disproven. I would be overjoyed to have my hypothesis disproven.
Dunno why we keep falling for this.
NOTHING will happen to the Clintons.
They laid the groundwork during the first Clinton administration and have kept current though control of teh DNC ever since. They have corrupted far to many people, and put too many of their own cronies in power. If the Clintons go down, so do scores of other VIPs in Washington, so it simply will not be allowed to happen.
So, don’t get your hopes up. About the only way to clear DC of the Clinton taint would be to nuke it.
I wrote about the make-over of der Hildebeast long ago. I wish I could bring back what I wrote. It was good. The transformation illustrates the complete scam being perpetrated on the American people. I hope the see past the snow job and understand the dark, evil, narcissistic hag representing the Democratic Party. This is why I call them DemonRATs. RATs is in all caps to emphasize who they are.
I believe the harshest punishment for Bill would be require that he have conjugal visits with Hildabeast.
I vividly remember watching the Watergate hearings—and to think Killary was involved in them as a young attorney!!!
Richard Nixon certainly breached public trust—but none of his actions risked national security!!! Moreover, he had no blood on his hands like hers with Benghazi!!! He spared the nation impeachment proceedings and resigned. His Veep—and one of my former Maryland Governors (Spiro Agnew) resigned over tax fraud. Of course, this was a GOP administration!!!
Fast forward to Bill Clinton and his predatory abuse of women. He actually was impeached but remained in office.
Now, she is skating right along, unchecked, by committing crimes that would otherwise indict and convict lesser individuals. Also, chillingly, any one who seeks to expose them is soon found at room temperature!!!
I pray that President-Elect Donald Trump will ultimately be their judge, jury and executioner!!!
The Limbaugh brothers have done nothing to enhance the chances of Trump winning. They both soundly hammer Clinton at every turn but never cross the line to help Trump
BTTT. Perfect image for the job

And as a result they have crossed into out-of-touch-creepy-old-guys territory.
BUMP
Mussolini? How about Obama? I've never seen an administration work so hard to plant the seeds of destruction of a nation as his.
Maybe we should rename PIAPS Baroness Harkonnen?
When she starts floating around, we’ll know all pretense is removed!
See my post #31
Until she is actually doing the perp walk into jail, this is nothing more than political masturbation.
