Clinton Foundation scandals will be good fodder for Trump

Trump declared that "Hillary Clinton turned the State Department into her private hedge fund," .... And he accused the former first couple of "laundering" money and making "hundreds of millions of dollars selling access, selling favors, selling government contracts."

There's sure to be more. Here is a pocket guide to where Trump might attack:

.. as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton "laundered money" to her husband through organization Laureate Education while he was still an honorary chairman for the educational for-profit organization.

The White House ethics agreement

The donations that ‘slipped through the cracks’

The time a donor got on a sensitive intelligence board

The case of the errant tax returns

The speaking fees, part I

...Also on the heels of Schweizer’s book came a report from ABC News in April 2015 that Bill Clinton’s speaking fees had begun to double or triple after Hillary Clinton became secretary of state.

The speaking fees, part II

The same week other outlets were reporting on Schweizer’s findings, The Washington Post’s Rosalind Helderman reported that Bill Clinton took in at least $26 million to speak to organizations that have also donated to the foundation.

The Russian uranium deal

Giustra, whose up and coming UrAsia merged with the South African company Uranium One in 2007, gave more than $31 million to the foundation in 2006 and pledged $100 million more.

The UBS deal

The Wall Street Journal reported last July that Clinton intervened on behalf of Swiss banking giant UBS AG, which the Internal Revenue Service was suing to get the identities of Americans with offshore accounts.

After that intervention in 2009, donations by UBS to the Clinton Foundation increased from less than $60,000 to a total of $600,000 by the end of 2014, according to the Journal’s report.

Hillary lost the FBI lottery. The media can’t ignore Comey.

(sigh).....Comey is taking a DIVE! You could tell by his pathetic performance after the Orlando shootings. He's a whipped puppy. Gonna do anything Obama and ValJar tell him to do. Nice little pension you have there, it would be a shame if anything were to.....happen to it.

I doubt the Pulse Club shooter ever got Comey’s attention. Hillary has and he nailed her in his last presser.

Right now she has 35 times as much money despite running ads against him like crazy and Trump has not even responded. She also has 10 times as many organizers on her staff.

Yes, what you said.

I know Jeb! bet him senseless with $100 million.
