Morning Joe Hosts Rip Into ‘Morally Defecit,’ ‘Sleazy’ Clinton Foundation
Mediaite ^ | 10/27/2016 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 10/27/2016 6:51:32 AM PDT by GilGil

The hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe devoted nearly twenty minutes Thursday morning to tearing into the Clinton Foundation after new emails revealed the extent to which the Clintons used their charity to personally enrich themselves.

In one new email, Bill Clinton aide Doug Band spoke openly about how he negotiated for big donors to give $50 million to Clinton personally as part of their deals to donate to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for access to the former president, which he called “Clinton Inc.” In another, Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin made it clear she had to meet with the Moroccan government after they gave the Foundation $12 million. “She created this mess and she knows it,” Abdein said.

“The people around her are well aware of the problem…” host Willie Geist said. “Those closest to Hillary Clinton know– and Hillary Clinton must know on some level– that all these things will not look good going into a presidential election. At best, they’re unethical.”

Co-host Mika Brzezinski agreed that the Foundation looked scandalous in a “kind of morally deficit kind of way, a sleazy way.”

It amazes me that guys like Gutfeld refuse to discus the Wikileaks emails because “this is an invasion of privacy... we would complain if the Republican’s email got hacked!” This is like saying Al Capone shouldn’t have been jailed because his tax return shouldn’t have been unearthed and questioned. These Democrats are EVIL and this treasure trove of emails reveals what their entire scheme and method of doing business is all about. Spare me the sanctimony, Gutfeld! This is the TRUTH and the American people deserve to see what they are electing in November.

Seems to me it is a bit more than pay to play, it is called EXTORTION.

At this point the best thing that could happen to comey would be an accident at the range.

The Gypsy Travelers are about their business, scamming, deceiving, conniving, lying, and stealing. The Clinton machine hard at work.

To help gain perspective both of the Clinton's families are Irish Traveler Gypsies. They are members of a secretive clan of ancient ancestry that is xenophobic about outsiders and view the world as ripe for picking. They are a criminal enterprise.

Travelers arrived in the U.S. in the 19th century, continuing to ply the trades they had pursued back home: tinkers and horse traders. Some say their way of life goes back thousands of years, perhaps even linking them to the lost tribes of Israel.
They speak their own language, called “cant” when they don’t want to be understood by non-Travelers. In time they changed their line of business to more closely match what the modern world demanded, moving into home repair instead of mending kettles. But they have also become walking Swiss Army knives of various grifts and scams.
Some are shoplifters, working in teams to have one create a distraction while another Traveler flees with the goods. Others will tell a McDonalds manager of a wedding ring lost in a trash can, then when it isn’t found there shake him down for a few hundred dollars instead of calling the police and making an insurance claim. One had her own brother duct tape her to a bed and beat her in a Disney World hotel and almost succeeded in suing for $3 million dollars. She went to prison.
Back in their walled Villages, their toddlers wear makeup and sequined gowns and are often married off before they reach their teens. Parents of girls at times pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to wed their daughters to the sons of particularly successful fathers. Of course “success” is defined on the Travelers’ terms, and often includes a string of charges and convictions in just as many different jurisdictions. Education is typically over by the sixth grade, and boys are often driving on phony drivers’ licenses when they are fourteen.

I usually tune into Morning Joe for about 20 seconds each morning until my stomach churns, but today was SOOO different. Maybe the press is finally starting to get it???

Pigs must be flying this morning for Mika to admit that much.

Thank you for mentioning that. I am getting tired with the continual barrage of typos and poor grammar spewed on the web from entities that should know better.

Agreed. Gutfeld should be ashamed for ignoring the corruption exposed. He needs to be fired!!

There is pervasive and deliberate misinformation about Wikileaks. They are a publishing group that receives documents from whistle blowers who work for organizations engaged in criminal or otherwise questionable activity. They do not “hack” anyting nor do they receive “hacked” material.
Wikileaks carefully investigates documentation provided to insure both its authenticity and its significance based on its charter to expose unethical conduct. They have a long track record with 100% accuracy.

I agree GilGil, it’s interesting that this has finally broken thru and in the mainstream now at this timely point in the election; that, along with the ObamaCare premium shock, that got released on Monday, have left me scratching my head wondering Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...the mainstream media has blacked out coverage of numerous scandals and damaging information during the entire campaign, but now this is coming out...

Remember that nothing in Washington (politics, media, etc.) happens by accident...it’s all connected as we’ve long suspected and is now confirmed for everyone to see...they know\sense things before we’re aware of them and this knowing helps them prepare their narrative\approach of how they disseminate the information to us...they could have just as easily not covered these 2 issues just like they’ve blacked out numerous others...don’t want to read too much into this, but the timing and coverage within the mainstream is puzzling. The only reason it’s puzzling is that we don’t\can’t trust them; that’s on them, they own that because they’ve taught us that we can’t trust them.

Putting that aside for a moment and just letting your common sense guide you, taking into account what we’ve seen this entire election cycle, etc. Add it all up and the only conclusion you can come to that aligns with the reality that’s played out in front of us over the last year and a half is the following:

1 - Hillary Clinton is a terrible corrupt person
2 - Hillary Clinton is a terrible candidate and should have lost to Bernie Sanders
3 - Bernie Sanders mortally wounded her during the primary
4 - The 2012 turnout model (D+6) will not happen in 2016...everything in the primary season supports a lower D turnout and a higher R turnout in 2016
5 - The polling is using samples that exceed the 2012 turnout model; that makes no sense other than driving a narrative of inevitability for Clinton
6 - The Silent\Monster vote is real...how big is something we will find out on November 8th...let’s hope it’s what Sundance has been saying all along
7 - Blacks will not come out in the same numbers in 2016 vs. 2012 & 2008
8 - Of those Blacks that do vote in 2016, Trump will garner a larger percentage than Romney
9 - Early voting always favors Democrats fairly heavily...that’s not happening yet across the battleground states
10 - Watch Pennsylvania on election night (in 2012 Obama got 2.96 million and Romney got 2.65 million)

I could go on, but I think we can all get the picture. We shall see what happens.

Contrary to popular opinion, words mean things and they are not subject to Twitter or Facebook modification, or daily ignorant usage.

My particular beefs are:

“Conversated” - there is no such classically defined word

“Disorientated” - same

“Commentated” - a wildly misused variation of what a commentator might say applied to regular discourse.

“Preventative” - for cripes sake, doesn’t anyone understand how wrong that is? PREVENTIVE.....hear it, see it and remember it!

and my biggee........

“Restaurateur” - There is no f@cking “N” in that word, folks. Never was, never will be.

I can understand the correlation but they aren’t ‘blends’ of two different words; they are bastardizations of ignorant people trying to sound intelligent, having not remembered anything they were supposed to been taught in K-12 schools. IOW, their use is pretentious affectation and attempts to sound intelligent when it is far from that.

LOL, true. Let’s just hope that common usage doesn’t bleed into universal acceptance, and then official recognition.

Is Greg Gutfeld voting for Hilary Clinton?
How do you talk about a candidate for president without talking about all the corruption?
Is he talking about Trumps women accusers instead?
