Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution forbids office holders from accepting anything of value from a foreign state, yet husband Bill Clinton collected $1 million from the Abu Dhabi government while Hillary was secretary of state.
Bill Clinton spoke at the Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Data Initiative (AGEDI) on December 13, 2011 and received a speaking fee of $500,000. The AGEDI is a program funded by the Abu Dhabi government, so the source of the funds was the government itself. Although the fee was paid to Bill, Hillary equally benefited from the payment. In effect, she accepted money from a foreign state.
A year later, Bill spoke to the World Travel and Tourism Council in Abu Dhabi (also funded by the Abu Dhabi government) for another fee of $500,000, for a total of $1 million.
The U.S. Constitution provides in Section 9 as follows:

Laws, rules, we don't need no stinking laws, rules. This is the democratic party we are taking about. Remember when the had a Senate candidate that was losing so bad that they just replaced him mid election?
“Bull shit! The FBI is not looking for jack shit as far as violations of the law goes.”
EXACTLY!
Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

Obamas payback for his getting to be President. Wink/Wink , you will be SOS but in reality its a money funnel for you and Billy Jeff to keep quiet. I’ll get mine afterwards, or you can just divert some to an offshore account in Michelle’s name.
There must be some law somewhere that they are not guilty of breaking?
But, but, but Trump is not a Constitutional Conservative!
If the IRS weren’t so busy harassing conservative groups and spending taxpayers money on making Star Trek parody videos, they should be investigating the phony Clinton Foundation. I can’t believe that the Clinton’s haven’t violated many IRS regulations for non profit foundations
That didn’t come from the investigators. Why do you think Comey immediately scheduled a pressers to slam Hillary’s characterization of the investigation as a security review? That was so close after the CNN white wash it was another volley in the war between the White House, their media quislings and the FBI.
Following that the number of articles about Hillary’s pay-for-play racketeering increased.
I don’t know whether or not Trump is a “Constitutional Conservative.” I have some reservations. But I don’t believe he is a kleptocrat.
I know the Clintons are.
If my wife were to win $50,000 on a casino slot machine, wi the IRS expect me to pay ghe taxes on the winnings? YES they would because she is my wife. If I refused to pay the taxes,I would go to jail. Same rules apply to Bill and Hillary since they are married.
“But doesn’t being married create a legal unity between the two persons? If that’s the case, then a gift to one is a gift to the other, yes?”
Yes, especially if/since the purpose of the “speaking fee” is as a bribe, or “pay for play” to guarantee special treatment from the payee in some matter over which she has authority.
Wonder if this language can be extended to birth and go forward to cover future crimes..... /humor & sarc
You are joking, right?
These tease stories are simply being written to sell copy, and nothing more. Let us know when there's actually something real to report on... none of this "well, she could/should be nailed for X,Y,Z".
Yes, I was thinking of paraphrasing it but my key board will not do Mao!
MAY be looking? Heck, they’re only looking to drag this thing out until she’s 90 and on her death bed. This “investigation” is nothing but a farce and a waste of tax dollars. She untouchable in more ways than one.
Throw away the cell.
The only way to be sure.
Prolly about the same turnout hildabeast saw at a goldman speech
“The FBI may be looking at a violation...”
Do they think we are fools? They HAVE been looking at violations and doing absolutely NOTHING about it because they are IN THE TANK for the liberal establishment!
Please, anyone tell me where the FBI has done absolutely ANYTHING to convict the Clinton criminals? What? No answers?
If your last name is not Clinton, and you don't have the FBI files on several thousand senior people in government, then the same rules do not apply to you as to Hillary. The same rules should apply, but they don't and never will under the corrupt Obama regime.
hah ........maybe bob woodward should report on that
