This meme has been peppered all over the MSM. There is smoke but no fire.

Even in this 56 second clip of Hillary she actually says, "I know there's a lot of smoke, and there's no fire."

How does smoke get created ? If there is a lot of smoke, what do we assume is creating it?

Isn't Clinton admitting by a slip of the tongue, that there are fires everywhere that she has created? There simply cannot be a lot of smoke without fire. No one on the Clinton side has thought this through. It seems the democrats are panicking for some reason. If you have also listened to the ad accusing Trump of being part of the Klan, it sounds ridiculous. If this is all they have, the fires are everywhere hence the smoke.

If there is smoke, all one needs to do is blow on the embers...or fan them with an open hand. The flames will come.

Don;t expect the usual suspect of the media to investigate or ask questions, instead they prefer to talk about how outrageous Trump is calling Clinton a bigot.

Thankfully I have One America News which reports and has no B/S talking heads.

Hillary believes she can dismiss every scandal, criminal act with a simple turn of phrase.

She made it this far doing it. We’ll see if it carries her all the way into the Oval Office.

I believe she unleashed the KKK/alt-right nonsense to change the conversation that focused on her health and stamina problems. “Smartest Woman in the World,” and she always relies on the cheapest of tricks and bullying.

Hillary is getting slaughtered on Twitter for the absurd KKK ad.

It was CNN. It was Anderson Cooper.

Despite claims that *THIS TIME* CNN/Cooper got tough with Hillary the reality is that she snorts, chortles and interrupts uncomfortable questions in an attempt to divert the questioner. And then we get the ‘old news’ canard or an attempt to change the subject to Trump.

Bias is one thing but an interviewer who allows himself to be sidetracked so easily is nothing but a chickens***.

Repeat the question until she answers it. She is not legally, morally or ethically excused from answering questions. Repeat the question. Verbatim. Get a damned answer and make her stick to it.

I’m hoping too that Hillary and her inner circle of freaks are overplaying their hand with this garbage.

From what I learned here on Free Republic, the “alt-right” are younger, techie types dominating Twitter and taking Hillary to task.

More people die from smoke inhalation than they do from fires.

So Hillary, a lot of smoke is not a good thing.

I'm just glad there's not a smidgen of corruption in Obama and the Clintons, otherwise they would be paying ransoms, not prosecuting felonies, and starting Foundations and collecting millions while on the public payroll.

Smoke inhalation kills more people than burns.

Yes, a lot of smoke and mirrors. And a fire behind the mirrors.

What she means is: “There’s a lot of smoke, but we aren’t inhaling.”

Yes, I do think she is picking a fight that she won’t win.

"It seems the democrats are panicking for some reason."

Possible very damaging WikiLeaks releases
are hanging over their heads.
The Dems are wetting themselves worrying
about what might be coming.

I agree, they have been beating this “smoke and no fire” thing for a few days now.

They state over and over “no one denies that the Clinton Foundation is one of the best charities in the world, if not THE best charity, so we don’t question that, but we have to question her poor judgement in not breaking ties with the foundation”

BULL HOCKEY!

They are trying to paint it as some sort of “oversight”.

It is criminal, and where is the Republican leadership? Why are they not out in front of the cameras right night attacking her? Where is Ryan? Graham, Mitch, McCain?

They are not attacking her because they think this is OK behavior and they are doing the same thing.

I regularly have to contribute to politicians so called charities for my business to survive, and this is at the state and local level. This sort of nonsense is rampant, and the Republicans are in on it too.

I’d like to see how much the Muslims have contributed to McCains favorite charities.

This is why they collectively want to destroy Trump, but most of us here already recognize the uni-party shenanigans.

I just find it appalling that there is no Republican leadership out there on Trump’s side beating this into the ground.

What happened to “draining the swamp”?

Complicit criminals 99% of them. And those that aren’t doing the same thing are probably 1st termers who haven’t learned how to set up these sorts of political machines yet.
