As I watch Hillary Clinton wish away the fallout of the Clinton Foundation’s unseemly ties with the State Department during her tenure as Secretary of State, I can’t help but think that her self-inflicted wound just bleeds and bleeds and bleeds. Every day that she fails to seriously address the rotten consequences of her poor judgment, Clinton further erodes the already lacking public trust in her. By avoiding a sincere display of contrition, she risks her candidacy and the foundation her family built.
The numbers on the alleged pay-to-play are damning: as reported by the Associated Press, of 154 non-official meetings or phone calls on her schedule as Secretary of State, at least 85 of those individuals were private-sector donors who contributed up to $156 million to Clinton Foundation initiatives.
Perhaps the worst example was when investors who profited from the Clinton State Department’s approval of a deal for Russia’s atomic energy agency’s acquisition of a fifth of America’s uranium mining rights subsequently pumped money into the Clinton Foundation. The Clintons subsequently did not fulfill the Obama administration’s request for public disclosure of foreign donations.
The public deserves to hear from Clinton an honest explanation of why she felt all of this was appropriate.
When it comes to the Clintons, it’s not only about what happens, but how they react. The fact that Clinton has not given a press conference in 264 days is far more damaging than the seeming corruption itself.
It comes down to Clinton’s judgment, and the culture she and the former President create. Even if you give Clinton the benefit of the doubt that her staff acted on her behalf trading access in a way that’s technically above board, she created the culture that encouraged the behavior.

A “sincere display of contrition” ain’t gonna cut it!
LOCK HER UP!
Time seems to not understand. PIAPS cannot seriously address this issue. If does she has to confess to breaking the espionage act and her campaign is over. More than that it isn’t just her. Chelsea as CEO of the foundation goes to jail as well.
Clinton is done. I don’t care is she’s not arrested or indicted or not. No way she gets elected. Trump in a landslide.
Maybe this is a trial balloon to see if an apology by Hillary would be sufficient to make it go away.
Elise, Elise, Elise — Didn’t you get the memo? All of hillary’s “problems” are spurious inventions of the right-wing conspiracy theorists!! You really need to get with the program or clean out your desk. (We’re preparing your retraction of this vicious attack.)
She does a better job of covering her big fat ass than she does at covering up her blatant corruption.
When first we practice to deceive!
It’s an Alt. Right Control Problem.
She's done regardless.☺
Maybe some in the msm are finally getting feed up
Wow, so I guess there are some folks on the Left who have their resumes ready.
If they don’t, they’re in for it.
Well, that's the thing. She didn't think it was appropriate.
That's why she went to so much trouble to hide it.
One problem.
Democrats do not care if they are lied to.

She can explain it from prison.
Nonsense.
If she made such a confession, her voters wouldn't care.
The espionage act would be changed retroactively in such a way as to make what she did legal.
I bet she has never apologized in all her life!
As I watch Hillary in one of her controlled and infrequent NON-INTERVIEW type venues, I ask myself how in God’s name could ANY sentient, logical citizen vote for this manipulative and duplicitous criminal?
I’m a rather peaceful guy, but I keep thinking how I could easily support the new president negotiating with the current owners of what the French owners at the time called “Devil’s Island”, buying the place then PACKING ALL CLINTON VOTERS – EVEN THE DEAD ONES FROM CHICAGO – OFF TO SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES GAZING AT THEIR (OR THEIR SAME SEX PARTNER’S) NAVELS AND THE SEA. We could air drop them in (parachutes optional).
And as obozo’s maladministration winds down and HIS criminality and TREASON come under scrutiny and become more visible, I’d add HIS supporters to the list!
WHY? Because, by their failure to grasp the most fundamental concepts under which this place was created, it is a certainty that they WILL DESTROY AMERICA – THE IDEA THE FOUNDERS’ AND OTHER PAID SUCH A DEAR PRICE TO ATTEMPT TO LEAVE US – and only the most Draconian methods will halt that destruction!
All of that said, banishment is a far more merciful and humane fate than that discussed by obozo’s mentor, Bill Ayers and others, as described in the 2 minute Larry Grathwohl video here:
