It’s unbelievable how much has come out about them. For decades it was rumor and innuendo and now almost all of it proven. You couldn’t remember them all if you tried. Pay to play, using high office to raise private funds you control, raising foreign cash, sending thugs into rallies to foment violence, stacking the party machine with loyalists, using slush fund money to reward fealty, using government resources to punish opposition and dissent... the list goes on and on.

So many international flare ups and hot spots, war, rumors of war, refugees, fighting on 3 sides, a horrible deal made with Iran, and this too on and on. You have to wonder are they creating all this mess for their own personal gain, or is it just that they dedicate so much time to their own personal gain that they don’t have the time or attention span to do their duty to country and manage the offices they hold.

Newsweak, that very few read, has an article about Trump destroying emails and documents in lawsuits. Like destroying an expense account receipt is up there with destroying top secret information. If this is all they got, they’re out of ammo.

The Clintons are striking back---contending Trump paid no taxes. Here's your reply.

FR POSTED: Hillary hadn’t even finished unpacking her things in her new office at the State Department after Barack Obama appointed her when a situation was dumped in her lap. The Swiss government was concerned that the IRS was suing UBS AG – one of the biggest banks in Switzerland – to get them to reveal the identities of tens of thousands of clients. (Wall Street Journal)

If the case proceeded, Switzerland’s largest bank would face an impossible choice: Violate Swiss secrecy laws by handing over the names, or refuse and face criminal charges in U.S. federal court.

Within months, Mrs. Clinton announced a tentative legal settlement—an unusual intervention by the top U.S. diplomat. UBS ultimately turned over information on 4,450 accounts, a fraction of the 52,000 sought by the IRS, an outcome that drew criticism from some lawmakers who wanted a more extensive crackdown.

Well, the Swiss may have gotten off pretty easy, but at least a compromise had been reached, right? Job well done, Mrs. Clinton. Peace is maintained between the US and an influential ally. And now we can all go about our business. Except for one disturbing aspect of the story which cropped up in the following months.

From that point on, UBS’s engagement with the Clinton family’s charitable organization increased. Total donations by UBS to the Clinton Foundation grew from less than $60,000 through 2008 to a cumulative total of about $600,000 by the end of 2014, according the foundation and the bank.

The bank also joined the Clinton Foundation to launch entrepreneurship and inner-city loan programs, through which it lent $32 million. And it paid former president Bill Clinton $1.5 million to participate in a series of question-and-answer sessions with UBS Wealth Management Chief Executive Bob McCann, making UBS his biggest single corporate source of speech income disclosed since he left the White House.

The WSJ is quick to point out that there is no evidence of any link between these events, but at what point does coincidence become too much to ignore? You’re talking about one of the richest, most powerful financial entities on the planet who, up until Clinton took over at state, had given a grand total of $60K to the foundation. (An amount which likely fell well short of how much USB spent on coffee and donuts during the same period.) And then, in a matter of weeks, the cash spigots opened up and increased tenfold over the next six years.

Tens of millions in loans to efforts supported by the foundation were in addition to a direct set of cash deposits into Bill Clinton’s pocket totally $1.5M… not the foundation’s coffers. And if I remember correctly, Bill and Hill were still filing their taxes jointly at the time, weren’t they?

The Swiss bank got a truly sweet deal and millions of dollars flowed immediately thereafter into the accounts of both the Clintons and their foundation. So we are asked to accept that there no causal relationship between these two sets of data points. We can’t prove that there is absent some secret recording turning up, but at what point can the media say that this beggars belief and the empress has no clothes?

Too early in the week. Probably Thurs or Friday HRC campaign releases news of civil rape case against Trump on the docket of judge Ronnie Abrams for Dec 18.

The MSM and the HRC campaign have been holding back on this information. Also chance of more “lewd” Trump talk taken from Celebrity Apprentice show.

The stupid American public will lap this up. There is supposed to be an audio tape of HRC using the n-word. If this tape exists, it may be required to beat her.

This bitch and her thugs are far from finished. They are just waiting until it’s too late for Trump to debunk the lies and any editing they may have done with audio tapes.

Good points you have, thanks.

You’re right that an “N-word” tape of Hillary’s would sink her. I’ve read reports that the video is of Hillary slandering a female African American.

Hillary is like the actress Glen Close in the movie “Fatal Attractions” when the audience thought she was dead & gone in the bathtub - she lurches up from the bloody pool of bathwater and everyone in the movie theater screamed. Scary.
