As I watch Hillary Clinton wish away the fallout of the Clinton Foundations unseemly ties with the State Department during her tenure as Secretary of State, I cant 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 Departments approval of a deal for Russias atomic energy agencys acquisition of a fifth of Americas uranium mining rights subsequently pumped money into the Clinton Foundation. The Clintons subsequently did not fulfill the Obama administrations 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, its 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 Clintons 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 thats technically above board, she created the culture that encouraged the behavior.

Typical democrat-speak. When is trading access for cash EVER above board?
The fact that the source is MSM is more interesting than the article itself.
I would support that. Preferably at gitmo.
It reminds me of Nixon when more and more and more came trickling out.
It’s a marginal thing. Every time another drip comes out it peels off a few more disgusted people on the margins. And hey, good luck, Trump’s not really a Republican(e)!
A haunting perhaps
It’s all or nothing for the witch this time. Either she’ll be on top of the world... or under it.
While my answers were legally accurate, I did not volunteer information.
Indeed, I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky manage a few emails in a way that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. It constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely responsible.
But I told the grand jury today press and I say to you now that at no time did I ask anyone to lie, to hide or destroy evidence or to take any other unlawful action.
I know that my public comments and my silence about this matter gave a false impression. I misled people, including even my wife the FBI. I deeply mildly regret that.
I can only tell you I was motivated by many factors
Arrest her. Try her for treason. Find her guilty. Punish her with the most severe sentence possible. She is an enemy of America.
LOCK HER UP!
Here is the other thing about the debate...Trump has to be cool, calm and collected if not he will be accused of being mean to a girl. Ask Rick Lazio. Just put the facts out there and let Hillary lie.
“It reminds me of Nixon when more and more and more came trickling out.”
The Clinton scandals are trickling out, like an overflowing septic tank.
I don’t think Mom will mind me sharing this. I’ll send her a link. :)
We had a septic tank when I was a kid. It became clogged and started overflowing. When someone flushed the toilet, my three younger brothers and I would all run to the window to watch it overflow.
Golly, we had fun when we were kids.
Like an overflowing septic tank.
That is hilarious!

Make the parents defend her.
Mostly because the Foundation may be in violation of Federal law in regards to foreign money donations, and I do think legal authorities are quietly investigating the Foundation because the donations have to be deposited in a financial institution outside the USA before the money is transferred to the USA. That could mean banking authorities in Switzerland, Singapore and various Caribbean island nations could get involved.
Really? Are you serious?
Further proof that the MSM spends all their time navel gazing.
At least der Furher would smile & wave at the press after visiting Buchenwald or Auschwitz!

” Let me get this straight - if I break into Chuck Todd’s home and steal $100,000 worth of ‘stuff’ I can give three percent of the proceeds (of the crime) to poor people, keep the rest for travel, vacation, and salaries for family and friends, AND ‘get forgiveness’ if I just apologize?
Washington DC crooks have set a low bar for themselves... “
There IS no bar!
What the real meaning if IS is : )
Shades of democrats telling us lying was good for us after the Clinton impeachment. That’s what you get when everything is relative and there are no absolute truths.
