    So did they pay to play or is it just an innocent coincidence that she met with so many of her owners?

    The evidence proving Clinton corruption is incontrovertible. It seems the Democrats will accept literally any behavior from their own candidates.

    Yet they will continue to criticize those they disagree with of being puppets of the special interests even when there is no evidence to support their claims.

    Democrats have no morals.

    And she seems very sick. Even has special signs to make sure she can rapidly get to the hospital.

    And that's not all. Crooked Hillary lied to the FBI about Colin Powell’s email advice

    Giving false information (lying) to an FBI agent is a federal crime. Mrs. Clinton told the FBI (according to the FBI notes) that she used private email at the advice of Colin Powell and Colin Powell says she was using the private email for a year before he had any discussion with her, and he certainly never told her to house classified information on an insecure private server.

    These donor to the Clinton Foundation is doing enormous great works across the world with ZERO reality of any Clinton getting cash themselves. The Clinton Foundation money is used very very well, with overhead is enviably in its care and use.

    These Republican losers who criticism a charity like this foundation don't have a leg to stand on, and they don't even try! Do notice that even the Repubs don't even try to have meaningful examples of any true examples of "corruption" of a place like this Foundation!

    But lets look of what the Republicans and Trumpettes try to say is "corporation" about the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton's!

    We have some examples where supposedly a donor put millions into a issue like clean water, children's care, food and infrastructure and hundreds of other hard fantastic causes that make the world a better place, and later on Hilary has a meeting with a donor about some issue like wanting an opportunity for the donors's business. (Do note there is not a SINGLE example of one of these donors' actually getting an unfair advantage!)

    Is that the end of the world? The only benefit for Clinton is that the Clinton has made the world a better place for EVERYONE.

    Further, let's compare the example of Trump bragging that he makes donations to the PERSONAL causers of politicians campaigns, and thereby Trump show how Trump is now OWNING these politicians for Trump to PERSONALLY make his billions get larger!

    These Republicans attaching Hilary are failures in every sense of the word!

    The Clinton Foundation is an amazing charity for the WORLD!

    And I can list dozens of deficiencies of Hilary and her programs. But these haters can say nothing except to manufacture inane and nonsensical BS for "low information" voters of the Right Wing who live on hate and bigotry .

    FAIL.

    Clinton supporters are perfectly fine with people "donating" to get things in return.

    Trump jumped on it and called for a Special Prosecutor in Ohio. He must have struck a nerve a this time....Hillary's campaign chairman spoke up. Wanting to talk about Trump and his business dealing. John Podesta.....which the leaked Panama Papers set the Podestas out for taking money from the Russians and Helping Putin and his boys get around BO peeps sanctions.

    All Trump needs to do is mention to the Press to follow John and his brother and the money. Such will shut John Podesta Right up and he will slink back under the rock he crawled out from underneath.






    Trump calls for special prosecutor to investigate Clinton Foundation.....

    Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump urged the Justice Department on Monday to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate if donors to the Clinton Foundation got special treatment from the State Department when it was run by his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

    Trump made the appeal at a rally before thousands of cheering supporters in Akron, Ohio, as he tries to rebound from a slide in national opinion polls with little more than two months to go until the Nov. 8 election.

    Trump accused former President Bill Clinton and his wife of turning the Clinton Foundation charity into a “pay-for-play” scheme in which wealthy donors, foreign and domestic, got favors from the State Department during Hillary Clinton’s 2009-2013 tenure as the country’s top diplomat.

    “The Justice Department is required to appoint a special prosecutor because it has proved to be, sadly, a political arm of the White House,” Trump said. “Nobody has ever seen anything like it before."

    Trump’s appeal came the same day a conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, released 725 pages of State Department documents, including some it said were examples of preferential treatment provided to donors at the request of former Clinton Foundation executive Douglas Band.

    Trump’s call for an independent investigation followed an announcement by the Clinton Foundation that it would no longer accept foreign donations should Clinton be elected president.

    The Clinton campaign fired back at Trump, saying the foundation had already laid out "the unprecedented steps the charity will take if Hillary Clinton becomes president." .....snip~

    The only people that care about this are people who had no attention of voting for Hillary anyway.

    Hillary's voters don't care.

    So in terms of moving the electoral needle--it is basically a non-story that only serves to give the anti-Hillary RW echo chamber something to circle jerk over.

    Ninety + people ( Witnesses ) have died who had information or close association with the Clinton's that would have ended this scourge they have reaped on the American public. There is no denying that those individuals are dead, there's no denying that had they remained alive the Clinton's would have been or even now would be in a world of hurt and she would be no where near the office of the President. She and her husband have developed one of the slickest and in your face " Pay to Play " schemes in recent history. They are corrupt and as criminal as they come......

    If the FBI really wanted to see if Clinton lied they would have requested transcripts from congress regarding Clinton's hearing and compared it to what they told her. The FBI, Comey has no interest in taking down the top Democratic candidate for president. It's all about politics in Washington as usual.

    New revelations show a nation for sale under Hillary Clinton
    By David Harsanyi August 23, 2016


    The Democratic Party often warns us that mixing big money and politics will corrupt democracy. They must have nominated Hillary Clinton to prove it.

    The Clinton Foundation was ostensibly set up to solve the world’s most pressing problems. Though it’s done some fine work, its most fruitful program has been leveraging Clinton’s position in the State Department to enrich her family, friends and cronies.

    It’s against federal law for charities to act in the interests of private business or individuals. Yet the Clinton Foundation secured high-paying gigs for its namesakes and helped for-profit corporations with family ties set up lucrative deals.

    As it turns out, that’s probably the least corrupt part of the story.

    It is becoming clear the foundation was a center of influence peddling. Rock stars. Soccer players. Conglomerates. Crown princes. All of them paid in. All of them expected access to the US government.

    Want a seat on a government intelligence-advisory board even though you have no relevant experience? The Clinton Foundation may be able to help.

    Recently released e-mails prove the charity’s officials had sought access to State Department personnel while Hillary was in charge. Folks like the prince of Bahrain, who donated $32 million to the foundation, needed to get in touch.

    An Associated Press investigation finds that more than half the private citizens who met or spoke with Clinton while she was secretary of state also happened to donate to her foundation. What are the odds?

    It’s implausible that a majority of the 154 citizens — people who’d kicked in at least $156 million to her charity — would also happen to catch Clinton’s ear as she toiled away at State. It’s also worth remembering this list doesn’t even include officials from the 16 governments — many of them autocrats — who threw the foundation another $170 million.

    Recently, the foundation announced it would ban donations from corporations and foreign countries if Hillary is elected president. The question is: If it’s a conflict of interest when Hillary will be president, why wasn’t it a problem when she was secretary of state?

    Let’s also not forget that during Clinton’s tenure at State she failed to disclose that regimes across the world were giving her charity hundreds of millions. Because she needed to hide this, she ended up sending 110 e-mails containing classified information — eight of which had “top secret” information, according to the FBI.

    These days, Hillary brazenly goes on Jimmy Kimmel to clown around about her “boring” e-mails.

    Well, if they’re so irrelevant, why was she hiding them from the Justice Department? If it’s no big deal, why did it take four years and a lawsuit against the State Department to gain access to her planning schedules? Why did she lie to the American people? Erase tens of thousands of e-mails? Set up a private server in the first place?

    Hillary claims running the State Department gave her the experience and temperament necessary to be president. But if anything, it reminds us of the Clintons’ propensity for scandal and dishonesty. And if Clinton wins this year, she’ll become the most ethically compromised president in contemporary times. Perhaps ever.

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the whole issue in a nutshell, and the question that needs to be answered...
