How bad are things getting for Hillary when a popular argument among her defenders is that there was no corruption because Bill cheated the people who thought they were bribing her? Last week, we reported on Hillary fan Dorian Warren suggesting that Bill was "running serious game on many of these countries saying oh, I'll talk to my wife, give me the check, and then never mentioning [it.]"
On today's Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle made that same argument, claiming there was no quid pro quo because knowing Bill, he took the money saying "yeah, sure, I'll call him for you, and he'll never call." Interestingly, Mika Brzezinski wasn't buying, saying that Newt's allegations of bribery "made sense."

Did Barnicle borrow another Hillary fan’s defense against bribery charges? Ping to Today show list.
Time to start posting pictures of the Titanic goin down?
This campaign is dying.
He looks like a barnacle...why is the tolerant left media full of old pasty white guys?
This shizzle fo’sho gettin’ series.
What about the 500,000 Bil got for the uranium deal. Right there is the proof.
Good point—and Scarborough actually raised that in response to Barnicle.
Headlines, Bill Clinton rapes 16 year old Cheerleader. No one does a thing. The protection of the elite is strong.
As funny as it would be, and as true to Bill’s character it is, that’s not the way it was. Consideration was given to the party of the second part by the party of the first part.
Good ole’ Barnicle, plagiarizing again.
Ding! Ding! Ding! I was waiting for someone to point that out!
Seriously, I think I’ve heard this before -
it wasn’t really corruption because the bribed politician didn’t follow through on his promises...
And I believe this argument has already been applied to the Clintons.
If Sweet ol’ Bill really bilked Putin of $140 million, he better hope his Secret Service bodyguards are a lot better at their jobs than Obama’s are.
When you are a member of the "Club" you have nothing to worry about.
====================================================
REALITY CHECK---The Clinton Foundation's foreign money deals are reprehensible----but the real crimes are what they do with corporate/foreign monies once in the Foundation's tax-exempt coffers.
So how'd they do that?
Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watchers weigh-in. The Clinton/Wall Street connection is on-record....
BUSY LITTLE BUGGER Then-Pres Clinton's WH aide Rahm Emanuel was also a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.....both at the same time. In the Obama admin, Rahm Emanuel was his top aide AND ran the US Dept of the Treasury...both at the same time.
So .... what did the Clintons do with corporate/foreign monies after depositing them in the Foundation's tax-exempt coffers?
Then-US Sen Clinton and US Sen Jon Corzine. Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs
executive suite. Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a
Weight Watchers weigh-in.
EXHIBIT ONE--Dec 05, 2011---Fox News: Bill Clinton Reaped Big Bucks from Corzine Firm Before Collapse---MF Global Employee Links Clinton to Bankrupt Firm
A former MF Global employee accused former president Bill Clinton of collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before the brokerage careened towards its Halloween filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reports Human Events.
Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution, according to Hum/Events.
The Teneo contract with MF Global lasted at least five months, the souce said. “The board cancelled it after Corzine resigned.” The source, who is no longer associated with MF Global, said Teneo is a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services.
Clinton is the chairman of the company’s advisory board, reports Hum/Events.

===============================================
EXHIBIT TWO--Then-Secy of State Hillary gave her close aide, Huma Abedin, “State Dept special status".....Abedin was working for Hillary at State....... AND simultaneously working for Bill Clinton, as a private contractor for his company, Teneo Holdings.
Abedin, reportedly had private email addresses on the Clinton email server system (underlining Democrats' greatest fear: the intersection of undisclosed foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s secret email address. Huma Abedin's sweetheart deal: (1) an outside private six-figure consultant at the State Department, and, (2) “special government employee” status, and worked a sideline---as a private contractor.
One of Huma's clients was Bill Clinton's Company----Teneo Holdings----self-described as a dual-track political/banking consulting firm that calls itself the “next chapter in strategic advisory.”
======================================================
EXHIBIT THREE---An earlier NYT's expose tarred Bill Clinton w/ Teneo's sub rosa dealings. Teneo is run by Clinton aide---Doug Band. Prosecutors found Band and Clinton listed in pedophile's Jeffry Epsteiin's records as having a shocking 21 email addresses and tele nos. Can you say money laundering? L/E recognizes multiple phone nos and email as the classic MO for money- laundering and tax evasion.
============================================
EXHIBIT FOUR--Chelsea's husband runs a hedge fund that gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons--- even as reports surfaced that Mezvinsky's hedge fund had "underwhelming" returns.
The WSJ reports extensively on the fund's underperformance since its inception. Also reported was Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs colleagues — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund. Some of Eaglevale's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton."
If, for argument’s sake, we just for a moment accept Barnicle’s assertion...it creates still another problem for Hillary. Should we let a confidence man back into the WH as first felon, er..fella? Hilalry is going to have to explain what role, if any Bubba will play..
“You can’t con an honest man, but you can con dishonest people, and that’s how we elect Democrats.”
I guarantee you the Clintons don’t see themselves as crooks. They just think they are more clever than everyone else.
The bank robber didn’t rob the bank because the teller gave him the money after she noticed his gun.
Nothing illegals was done because Bill lied to these countries telling them they'd get favors for all that $$$ he was paid.
You have even better support when you are picked as a young man like Bill and Barry O.
