    But isn’t it fascinating that they have no curiosity about what Trump is hiding in his tax return

    Don't leave me out.

    Does anyone remember what happened to the White House writer in "House of Cards"?

    ^ Believing this narrative is pretty damned stupid, even coming from you. Trump financed his campaign mostly from his own funds up to this point. Perhaps he thought at this point it was rigged (he even claimed this) and could not win. Why throw even more money at it if believed to be a losing proposition? You people criticize Trump no matter what he does, you'll take the opposing side even if it benefits you. :roflol:

    I read this message twice, and was unable to find any point whatsoever.

    I suggest you always have a point in mind when you write a post. And state the point in the post. Otherwise, you would end up looking foolish.

    Really, twice, and found no point? Then you have some issues you need to get resolved.

    The excerpt I provided showed pay for play activity on the part of the Clintons, and the use of Clinton Foundation staff to coordinate for profit activity by the former President. Enough that it was a real concern on the part of someone inside.

    Now if that equates to making no point, there is no point you would ever recognize.

    You might want to make your bias more evident, so as to allow posters the opportunity to avoid wasting time.

    I don't care who Michael Wolff is.... or anybody, for that matter. I only care if what they say is right.

    In this case, neither you nor anybody (including anybody he quotes) has even claimed that it isn't. The closest thing I have heard so far that even "resembles" (though doesn't come close to) a rebuttal, is Trump saying that Bannon lost his mind. Other than that... .nothing!

    As far as being "well read",,,, Hah! I wouldn't go there if I were you! Believe me: that is one projection you do not want to make. But it's up to you....

    Steve says Ivanka 'Dumb as a Brick'


    Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist, called Ivanka Trump, the president's eldest daughter and top White House adviser, "dumb as a brick" in journalist Michael Wolff's new book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, according to The Wall Street Journal, which reviewed a manuscript of the book on Wednesday ...

    Everyone knows that The Clintons are crooked - especially serious leftists.

    “I don't know what became of the Trade Agreement that Colombia wanted and for the purposes of offering an example of the Human filth that is the Clinton's it really doesn't matter. After all, the clintons didn't have to return the millions they earned off their failed attempt to cram the Keystone XL Pipeline down the throats of Americans (they didn't but the company TransCanada instead wants millions from the Taxpayers! THANKS ALOT CLINTONS!)”

    The remaining defenders of The Clintons are now reduced to the Three Monkeys Defence.

    IMO, the "three monkeys defense" leads credibility to the "deep state" narrative that seems to be getting more and more confirmed.

    I'm pretty black and white when it comes to laws and regulations, and it amazes me how strong the bias is for looking the other way when it comes to actions like those of the Clintons and others.

    I don't get it.

    Yet another desperate empty personal attack. Take a deep breath - you can do better. ;-)

    They and the O.P don't care that Wolff is a serial liar, they just love to report any petty gossip they hear from these angry, vengeful school girls. They will say he is done, LOL; just like they did before the primaries, and just like they did before the election.

    Actually, he didn't fund his own campaign. Check the facts.

    Good idea!

    Well it looks like in Nov 2016 Clinton Foundation donations fell by 37%. I'll have to see if I can find out what it is now. Won't that be fun!

    Last year they made a little over $357,000 in speeches for both of them combined.

    In 2015 it was over $3 million.

    That's strange.

    I wonder why it would tank so much?

    Have you ever sen what percentage of the money they take in goes to wages and salaries? Sorry. But every charity passes an annual audit that does not make them legit or honest merely clever.

    Not to mention they've been hit multiple times for not disclosing income. Once for $26 million. Maybe it was a rounding error. Then again how much money did they lose at the State department and then again at the DNC in 2016? Hmmm.

    No, you only care that what they say bolsters your liberal/progressive/socialist beliefs. This is why you refuse to look at links from anywhere other than sites that support the narrative you believe in.

    And yes, you are obviously not well-read, as you refuse to consider or explore anything that doesn't conform to your worldview.
