It was very easy to manipulate the State Department, just donate to the Clinton Foundation.
I’m still shocked she was allowed to fundraise for her personal ‘charity’ while serving in high office.
She was duped by Putin into encouraging a couple dozen US tech firms into opening offices in Skolkovo, Russia which the FBI later said was an elaborate industrial espionage trap. Putin encouraged Clinton to invite big US tech firms to set up shop in Skolkovo and whom did she invite? Something like 75% were donors to the Clinton Foundation who thought they were getting some kind of advantage. It turns out they were just being set up to have their technology stolen. It makes me wonder if she was really duped, or if she was in on it. That’s the problem with the way she raised money, but either way it shows poor judgement and unfitness for office of POTUS.
And I wonder how much of her anti-Russian hawkishness was due to either her anger at being such a dupe (or a cover to make her seem more distant from Putin than she really was). Remember she advocated direct confrontation with Russia by advocating a “no fly zone” over Syria. Though Russia came into Syria after she left the State Dept, the whole thing exposes their very poor judgement and performance in the foreign policy arena. She and Obama bungled the entire Middle East from Benghazi to Iran to Syria and Egypt and more. For the first time in 40+ years, since Carter’s Camp David, Russia got a foothold in the Mediterranean.
Amen, well said.
I have a hunch 0bama did it because of his upbringing and sympathy toward Islam. Hillary probably for personal gain or stupidity, maybe both.
The majority of RATs backed the both of them, that says volumes about Dems.
Hillary has said....Obama and she wanted to “help” Russia....
......and remember she and her husband had a piece of the action of the startup companies.
<><>Investors Business Daily reported huge foreign contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all such donors." <><>The Dallas office of the IRS's investigation into Clinton Foundation public filings found missing disclosures concerning foundation donations from foreign governments.

Then-NYAG Eric Schneiderman Let Clinton Foundation skip identifying foreign donors
By Bob Fredericks September 6, 2016 | 9:37pm
State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the Clinton Foundation a pass on identifying foreign donors in its charitable filings making it impossible to know if it got any special favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to a report Tuesday.
Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014. New Yorks charity law clearly states: Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution. But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clintons leadership council in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.
On its website, the Clinton Foundation reveals its foreign donors, but using only broad ranges, such as $5 million to $10 million, without any time frames. The IRS doesnt require such disclosures.In 2009, Clintons first year at the State Department, the foundation disclosed a lump sum of $122 million in foreign-government donations in its New York paperwork, posting the total amount on a form that requires all charities to list each government contribution separately.
Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin said, This is a ridiculous accusation. The Clinton Foundation goes above and beyond the disclosure requirements by listing every donor on their website and updating the list quarterly. Schneidermans office said, The Clinton Foundations disclosures regarding funding from foreign governments are in compliance with New York law.
Other charities complied, including the George W. Bush foundation, which reported receiving $5 million from Saudi Arabia and $500,000 from Kuwait.
Hillary and the smirking Eric Schneiderman (right).
As NYAG Eric Schneiderman helped the Clinton Foundation hide foreign donations.
Schneiderman was recently ousted from office for slapping choking and spitting at women in his bedroom for sex.
It’s kind of ironic, the flip that occurred when Obama/Clinton were shoved out the door.
Our enemies and countries around the world got used to the extortion fees charged by the Clinton/Obama Charitable Foundation. Small price to pay, they figured for Washington closing its eye in return the them raping our country of jobs, intellectual property, and taxpayer dish outs.
Now that Trump is in power, the gig is up and Trump is putting massive legitimate sovereign pressure to give America fair trade deals, and put tough sanctions on our enemies.
They must have been awfully surprised how Trump turned the table on our former traitors.
Surely and steadily we’re going to uncover dozens of stories of the Obama/Clinton corruption. And expanding our power in
Congress and the steady hiring of federal judges is going to set the stage for the largest corruption indictments in our nation’s history.
We ain’t seeing nothing yet!
