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.

“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....


Good point.

Under Trump’s proposal to broaden libel laws to make it illegal to say nasty things about politicians (like himself), would it be legal for him to criticize Hillary like this?

Calling a politician corrupt is like calling a politician a liar. Truth is a valid defense in a libel case. Case dismissed.

Now that Trump is going after Hillary, hopefully the MFM will start doing their damn job and start going after Trump.

As long as Trump as demolishing the Republican field, the MFM was content to let him say whatever he wanted. But now that he is starting to attack Hillary, I suspect they are suddenly going to start “discovering” what they have in their bulging files.

I had the same thought.

Maybe Trump knows the direction the investigation is going.

The fact that the FBI has kept a tight lid on it for so long is impressive and ominous for Hillary.

We shall see ........

But you forget, everything bad about Donald Trump is a lie. Just ask him, he’ll tell you!

It’s axiomatic!

Trump can call her all the names he wants but sooner or later Trump is going to have to present some evidence.

He's not in court.

“......Trump’s charges will only escalate from here on out, hopefully with actual examples.”

I love these articles that basically tell us what we already know, but the author apparently is just realizing.

We could fill a full page with links to her corruption and ineptitude as a public servant. Throw into it her positions on various topics that are so far off the main stream it’s scary.

For example, can someone please ask her, “Mrs Clinton, do you believe that a woman has a right to terminate a pregnancy when she is in labor, and in no mental or physical risk to have the baby? Please answer yes or no.”

Donald Trump says he donated to Democrats because he was buying their favors.

This is what corruption looks like.

In order for their to be a bribe, their has to be a politician to grant the favor in exchange for money and a favor-seeker willing to pay the bribe. Donald Trump was a vital part of the corrupt machine.

The statement that he was corrupt in a corrupt system starts with the admission that he was corrupt. Lots of businessmen are out their doing well and making profits without buying off every corrupt politician in Washington.

It’s disgusting, and Trump will be able to describe this to the lowest IQ level to get the point across.

Cruz and the others, think up of these cerebral ads, and practiced sound bites, and Trump puts out a simple Hillary barking like a dog, and it sticks in your brain.

Don Trump, I need a man who has powerful friends. I need a million dollars in cash. I need, Don Trump, those politicians you carry in your pocket, like so many nickels and dimes.

Beautifully worded though “involved in corruption” could mean many things.

The funds have already been allocated by Congress, it only requires political will at the top to run over the EPA and get started.

Okay, how does he do that? If Congrass takes away the funding (we know the allocated funds have been spent on something else) how does it get done?

Believe me I want it done. I want the military patrolling the border. But. How will it get paid for? I don't trust Congress to do anything right.
