The Gloves Are Off: Trump Accuses Hillary Of Being "Involved In Corruption ...

Complete Headline: The Gloves Are Off: Trump Accuses Hillary Of Being "Involved In Corruption For Most Of Her Professional Life"

It's popcorn time.

Barely 24 hours after Trump launched his first Hillary attack ad in which he showed a laughing Putin respond to a barking Hillary, and shortly after Hillary's SuperPAC responded in kind with an ad of its own in which it used a Trump quote to mock him, the gloves are officially off, and now that both presidential candidates - both convinced they will face off against each other - are beyond the foreplay stage, the gloves have come off and the direct attacks are escalating rapidly.

So rapidly, in fact, that one may say Trump is risking a potential lawsuit with the following accusation (which, however, should not be too difficult to prove should one of Hillary's SuperPACs sue him for libel).

This is what Trump tweeted moments ago.

Hillary Clinton has been involved in corruption for most of her professional life!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2016

This is more than your typical political ad hominem - this is a material allegation with legal implications that goes to the core of Hillary's biggest weakness, her trustworthiness or complete lack thereof, and Trump's charges will only escalate from here on out, hopefully with actual examples. We look forward to Hillary's response.

One thing is certain: for the next six months, America will be entertained.

A great, well researched, professionally produced, documentary video that details most of Hillary’s corruption over the years. Make it go viral on the net before the election in November.

Illegal Immigrants will be rare because after Trump is done building his Big Beautiful Gates and instituting Touchback Amnesty, none of the illegals will be illegal anymore!

Touchback Amnesty is Amnesty. Donald Trump has endorsed Amnesty.

It’s all very good when the loudmouth buffoon off the leash is on your side (mostly anyway). But how long will that last?

If shouting down your opponents and declaring that everything you disagree with is a lie becomes and acceptable way to conduct politics in this country, the Left is going have a field day.

The Left has an infinite supply of obnoxious blowhard morons. We only have one.

Hillary owns the MSM. Wharever she doesn’t own, wants anyone but Trump to run against her

They’re out of ammo

Maybe it was just Huma’s family reunion?

Nothing-and I mean nothing-that Hillary says or does surprises me.

She is evil in a pantsuit.

And I cannot imagine listening to her voice and her cackle for 8 years; it is a painful thought.

I’m sure she’s doing worse things behind the scenes because she’s going to have to steal this election; even Libs detest her.

He's not in court.

No he's in a political campaign. Sooner or later he's going to have to back his claim up.

"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

Whitewater Convictions

Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax evasion)

William J. Marks, Sr.: Jim Guy Tucker's business partner (conspiracy)

Stephen Smith: former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Webster Hubbell: Clinton political supporter; Rose Law Firm partner (embezzlement, fraud)

Jim McDougal: banker, Clinton political supporter: (18 felonies, varied)

Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

David Hale: banker, self-proclaimed Clinton political supporter: (conspiracy, fraud)

Neal Ainley: Perry County Bank president (embezzled bank funds for Clinton campaign)

Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Larry Kuca: Madison real estate agent (multiple loan fraud)

Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned.

John Latham: Madison Bank CEO (bank fraud)

Eugene Fitzhugh: Whitewater defendant (multiple bribery)

Charles Matthews: Whitewater defendant (bribery)

Ultimately the Clintons were never charged, but 15 other persons were convicted of more than 40 crimes, including Bill Clinton's successor as Governor, who was removed from office.[40]

“Corruption” - very fluid term. Sexual corruption by aiding and abetting her husband in sexual assaults and his sexual escapades? Could be financial too. Lots of fuel as noted for discovery. Goldmine even.

I see the Grand Dragon of the KKK in California endorsed Hillary.Must be frustrating for Hillary to pass up another potential half a million in speaking fees from her newest endorser and risk get caught in the same room with them.She can console herself with the fact they do not have any money anyway and besides the shrimp platter at Goldman is to die for.

Everyone knows Hillary is a fraud and her whole life involves corruption. Unless you lived on a dessert island your whole life. Even foreign leaders know she is corrupt.

Trump pays the money to both sides of the aisle. Business expense.

I think you are more right than you know, concerning Hillary’s FBI files.

That is why the Senate folded in 1999 during Bubba’s impeachment trial, and why the GOP has been neutered ever since.

I keep reading thoughts like this from Trump supporters, as if the bipartisan nature of Trump's influence and special privileges purchases somehow makes the taste of his corruption more palatable.

For me, it doesn't.

This is the single smartest thing Trump can do to enlarge his support in upcoming primaries. Attack Hillary. Be relentless. Republican voters will eat it up. Lay off Cruz, lay off Kasich, attack Clinton.

They could put that on PPV and I’d PAY to see that wish out of water, parsing the definition of the word ‘is’.

Bring out the Foundation receipts...the audit ought to open a LOT of eyes.

Lastly, does ANYONE even *think* any other candidate would be shouting, “The emperor has no clothes”? Or would they be too entrenched in D.C. PC/esteem-colleague to do verbal battle?

Refreshing

forget the dems, and the black and Hispanic and feminist vote and college punk vote that we’re not going to get

concentrate on getting the religious right, the conservatives, the married white women, the blue collar fed ups and we can win this!!!!

#### kissing up to groups that don’t want us.

when was the last time a dem spent money and time wooing conservative groups?

we fall for that stupid trick every time.

there’s enough of us!!!
