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!

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.
Then why did the ever discerning Donald Trump continue to support her through donations?
“Bingo. And Trump has very, very good attorneys. Discovery would be worth the price of admission.”
Ultimate reality TV show. Heck, even I would tune in (but I would really be reading the FR live thread.)
The Trumpster is risking a potential lawsuit by calling the World’s Smartest Woman corrupt!
*******************************
Not unless he gets HIS way and changes the 1st Amendment to allow public figures to sue anyone making critical comments about them. (like in a dictatorship)
If she tried to sue, she would have to provide proof that what he said is not true, and she can’t do that.
Which is how many, many politicians inoculate themselves from any kind of prosecution for corruption.
The speaking fees are a non issue.
Maybe transcripts could hurt her, but not the money.
Clinton has never, ever met an opponent like Trump. Obama was like a child compared to him.
He will expose, exaggerate, and reveal every single corrupt deal this witch has ever made. A beautiful thing to behold.
Then why did the ever discerning Donald Trump continue to support her through donations?
Whoa there Kingo Sabe you’re making too much sense
“Trump is not a member of the political class...” Which is why Hillary didn’t get his FBI files like she has on everyone else....
Thanks for posting about Clinton kissing up to the Muslims in Beaumont TX. That adds to her negatives.
I hope the recent storms and heavy rains in SE Texas have flooded a bunch of them out.
Hire illegals to build it...happens all the time.
Then kick them out.
Well, Trump should know.
How long has he been funneling his money to the Clintons for access?
“....only requires political will at the top to run over the EPA and get started.”
“how does it feel watching this guy get ready to do to Mrs. Bill Clinton “
What he DID was contribute to her campaign.
“The whole “speaking fees” thing is a fiendishly diabolical technique to hide bribes and influence peddling in plain sight”.
Exactly!
If she sues, he will have discovery.
I’ve often wondered, what is the longest period of time Hilary can go without committing a serious crime. I’d say a week at most.
Perhaps he's trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Hillary will never do that. Discovery is killing her in the email case and will kill her worse here.
