Hillary Clinton engaged in pay for play at the State Dept.
No rational person can really argue that at this point.
A lot of people have been waiting for a smoking gun to be revealed by WikiLeaks.
Even though thats completely unnecessary. We know enough to know she did something really bad.
But WikiLeaks may have just provided that smoking gun anyway.

From Twitchy:
The 13th batch of John Podestas hacked emails from WikiLeaks is out and this one caught our eye. Maybe Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, Robby Mook and the Clinton Global Initiative can tell us more about this $12 million donation in exchange for a meeting with Hillary Clinton?
Will the media pick up on this? We will have to wait and see.
WikiLeaks has been a complete disaster for Democrats.
On a daily basis, the world is getting a glimpse into the chaotic and deceitful world of the Democrat Party.
During the debate, WikiLeaks posted a tweet that had a lot of people talking.
Did you catch it?
#Clinton once again confirmed the authenticity of our documents with her response to #WikiLeaks question. https://t.co/pjX9tmfINt #debate

Nailed it.
Thats whats so interesting about this whole situation.
Democrats arent saying the information is wrong or fake.
They acknowledge its real every day by talking about it.
All they do is complain about how Russia is trying to influence the election.
Yeah, technically, exposing dirty laundry about Democrats influences an election.
That isnt the worst thing in the world. Yes, espionage is bad. But take it up with Russia
You know, that country that Obama has done such a great job dealing with.
I sure hope this goes viral!

Former President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundations Global Initiative are being hosted this week at a five-star luxury hotel in Morocco by one of the worlds most controversial mining companies, criticized for serious human rights violations by the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice.
The Moroccan government-owned mining company OCP operates in disputed international territory in a remote part of the Sahara Desert, and the firm has been criticized for removing the resources without adequately compensating the impoverished people who live there.
Anytime the human rights of a population are systematically suppressed in this way, its a serious concern, and I think its worthy of attention, said David McKean, who has studied the issue for the RFK center.
OCP is paying $1 million to help host the prestigious event and throw a private cocktail reception, to the dismay of human rights activists.
When thanking Morocco for its hospitality, the former American president heralded the countrys potential, proclaiming that it is the Saudi Arabia of phosphate.
The reported $1 million donation is the latest to raise questions about the Clinton Foundations heavy reliance on foreign and corporate donors at a time when Hillary Clinton has launched a bid for president.
In his opening remarks, the former president dismissed the controversy over foreign donations, saying with a shrug, I just work here.
Until just a few weeks ago, Hillary Clinton was listed on the foundation website as a host of the Moroccan event, and critics see this weeks meeting as another vehicle for well-heeled foreign interests to gain access and curry favor in Washington.
OCP officials told ABC News their motives in sponsoring the event had nothing to do with any interest in access to a presidential candidate or her famous husband.
The Clinton Global Initiative, we share their goals, said Talal Zouaoui, an OCP spokesman. This is why were here.
But the company has sought greater influence in Washington. Government records reviewed by Yahoo News and ABC News show that OCP has sharply accelerated its lobbying of U.S. government officials in recent years more than quadrupling its spending as the Moroccan government was pressing its case for sovereignty over Western Sahara, the disputed international territory where the companys main phosphate mine is located.
OCP, the records show, has paid Covington & Burling, a top Washington law firm, $1.3 million since 2012 to lobby the State Department and other federal agencies. The mining companys CEO, Mostafa Terrab, who attended and was scheduled to speak at the Clinton Foundation event here, has also registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent for Morocco to help plan and prepare meetings with Obama administration officials. One Moroccan government-backed entity last year also hired a firm headed by Washington lobbyist Justin Gray putting his firm on a $25,000-a-month retainer the same month he was named a board member of the pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC Priorities USA. A spokesman for Gray said the lobbyist had done previous work for the Moroccan government and that his current engagement is not related in any way to my role with Priorities USA Action.
Questions that began to emerge with the recent publication of the book Clinton Cash suggest a range of foreign interests have donated tens of millions to the foundation over the years in an effort to curry favor with the Clintons.
Responding to criticism about its fundraising, the Clinton Foundation and its various entities have sharply curtailed foreign fundraising, limiting those efforts to a handful of countries. And the foundation has pushed back sharply against the accusations, calling them groundless conspiracy theories.
In response to questions about the OCP donation, a Clinton Foundation spokesman told ABC News the money helps promote the organizations good work.
Our sponsors made it possible for hundreds of CGI members to come together in Morocco to launch new programs designed to help hundreds of thousands of people, the statement said.
Despite the swirling controversy, the three-day conference in Morocco, long in the works, went ahead as scheduled this week held in an oasis of golf greens and palm trees secluded from the din and packed crowds of the exotic Marrakesh central square and several dozen top Clinton Foundation members were scheduled to spend three uninterrupted days of panel discussions, breakout sessions and opportunities to speak with President Clinton and an assortment of world leaders. Among other sponsors of the event are the Akwa Group, a Moroccan oil and gas firm; Channel IT, a Nigerian telecom company, and Coca-Cola and APCO Worldwide, one of Washingtons biggest lobbying firms, which has long provided public relations services for the Clinton Foundation free of charge.
Many of the foundations top donors arrived at the manicured Palmeraie Palace after several days traveling as part of Bill and Chelsea Clintons entourage on a tour to highlight the foundations good work in Africa. The former president brought network news crews on part of the journey to put the best of the foundations efforts on display.
During the conferences opening session, Clinton brushed off recent criticism of the Clinton Foundation.
Theres one set of rules for politics and another one for real life, and you just have to learn to deal with it, he said.
Clinton used his speech to tout the success the foundation and the related Clinton Global Initiative have had helping corporate and individual donors pair up with those in need. He described, for instance, an effort to get solar-powered refrigerators to a remote Tanzanian village so the villagers could maintain a store of vaccines for children there.
Clinton Foundation officials have taken a number of steps in recent weeks to try and burnish their image as transparent promising to reveal the names of donors the foundation said it inadvertently failed to disclose. That public relations offensive was apparent at the heavily guarded resort in Marrakesh. The policy discussions that made up the bulk of the conference schedule were open to the media to attend. The foundation took the rare step of also opening a networking cocktail party, where donors, charity workers and foreign leaders mingled over fine wine and Moroccan finger food. Clinton did not attend that event.
But the private reception scheduled for Wednesday night, to be hosted by OCP at different luxury hotel on a thoroughbred horse farm, was identified as off-limits to press.
Company officials told ABC News that OCP has been unfairly maligned by critics. In fact, they said the majority state-owned mining business reinvests money made in Western Sahara back into the region. And the executives said their involvement in the Clinton Foundation was intended to help make phosphate-based fertilizer available to needy farmers in Africa work the foundation has helped make possible.
We have good spots and bad spots, and when we have a bad spot, we try and improve it as much as we can, said Zouaoui, the company spokesman. Thats all I can say, I guess.
In a statement, the company added that it shares the Clinton Foundations commitment to promoting inclusive, sustainable development, including their support of African farmers, and are proud that Morocco is hosting the first convening of the Clinton Global Initiative Middle East and Africa.
But critics said the companys donation first reported by Politico and its track record on human rights should have put foundation officials on edge.
Rep. Joseph R. Pitts, a Pennsylvania Republican who co-chairs the congressional Human Rights Commission and oversees the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Global Human Rights, said he was deeply troubled that the Clinton Foundation would accept such a large sponsorship donation from the Moroccan mining concern.
Theyre extracting a natural resource, phosphates, making millions of dollars off of it and taking from the people of Western Sahara who are repressed, who are living as refugees, tens of thousands of them, Pitts told ABC News. Its really an egregious violation of the principles of human rights, to use the profits, taken from these people, their territory, to fund a group of 1 percenters.

=========================================
In 2008, the US State Dept's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) commenced a five-year, $697.5 million compact with the Kingdom of Morocco to reduce poverty and stimulate economic growth.
The State Dept's MCC compact invests in expansion of fruit tree agriculture (including olives, nuts, and dates), support for small-scale fisheries and fish-markets, enhancement of the artisanal sector in the city of Fes, and training for small-scale businesses across all these sectors,
.........with an emphasis on training for women and youth including literacy training.
UPDATE In 2016, Mr O gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars fromthe Millennium Challenge Corporation on her visit to Morocco for "teaching Muslim girls"...... to be administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.
Michele, her daughters and her mother in Morocco's palace.
“She created this mess and she knows it.”
Whoa, talk about ineptitude! This woman is too stupid to be POTUS. Seriously.
I know she has shown extreme indifference with respect to securing classified documents by illegally using the private server.
But I don't recall what classified info she revealed last night, even though I heard the whole debate. Can you possibly be a little more specific as to what was revealed last night?
However, the date on this email appears to be January 18, 2015. Hillary was no longer SOS at that time. Sure, this email is evidence of corrupt relationships - but does it count, technically, as "pay-to-play" if she was no longer SOS?

In this context CGI refers to Clinton Global Initiative.
The company you refer to is Consultants to Government and Industries.
If so, that would really connect the dots!
Now that you mention it, I remember. Yes, the Witch is a national security menace!
(Would like to nominate the above for understatement of the year)
Hillary indicated running for the presidency as early as late 2014.
So, it wasn’t play for “SOS” pay.
It’s play for POTUS pay.
She intends to become a multi-billionaire while president.

First, we are going to need an army.
“The reported $1 million donation is the latest to raise questions about the Clinton Foundations heavy reliance on foreign and corporate donors at a time when Hillary Clinton has launched a bid for president.”
Hah! So they lied about the amount in public...it was $12 million and $11 million went straight into Clinton’s pocket. Some of those rancid TV commercials of hers that are on all the time were probably paid for with that money.
I am so discussed with this whole election. So WHO is going to do anything? answer nobody
