"Campaign manager Robby Mook and longtime Clinton confidant John Podesta thought the deal ― in which Clinton had committed to speak at an event for the king on the condition of his $12 million donation ― would look bad. Clinton aide Huma Abedin tried to explain that it was simply too late to back out.

“This was HRC’s idea,” Abedin wrote in an email to Podesta. “Our office approached the Moroccans and they 100 percent believe they are doing this at her request. The King has personally committed approx $12 million both for the endowment and to support the meeting. It will break a lot of china to back out now when we had so many opportunities to do it in the past few months.”

The team eventually reached a compromise. Hillary Clinton didn’t show up, but Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton did, and the money came through."

She wasn't Secretary of State, in a position of power, or running for office. Where is the issue?

That monster, taking money to give to people with HIV!

How many times do you plan on copy/pasting the same thing?

I haven't followed this too closely - she was trying to solicit a donation of $12m to her charity, to promote global health - and this is supposed to be a bad thing? Surely that should make people more likely to vote for her, no?

I wonder how Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey feel about the fact that Bill Clinton is running around and giving speeches in the Middle East?

Folks have been shafted by Globalism and this further illustrates that Hillary Clinton will put the needs of those in Morocco over the needs of hard-working Americans. Unlike Clinton, Donald Trump's POLICIES represent a significant departure from the status quo on trade, foreign policy, and immigration in ways that the established interests oppose, sometimes for conflicting reasons. He is the only one that challenges the global cabal policies that are responsible for the diminishment of the Middle Class.

Hillary Clinton's campaign, on the other hand, set "democracy" back.  It was a candidacy where her party had an excellent chance to retain the White House, given all the indicators, but the Clintons wielded their huge influence to use the DNC structure to force every legitimate possible contender to not run, including a popular sitting VP.  "Democracy" was advanced, not because of the anti-democratic Clinton, but by Bernie Sanders, who isn't really a Democrat, who mounted a grassroots challenge to Clinton and pressed her hard, despite dirty pool from Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the folks at the DNC.  

At a certain point, people who have a problem with Donald Trump's candidacy have a problem with direct democracy.  Trump won because the GOP primary electorate is significantly more diverse than the narrow range of candidates that it offered, all of whom were trying to position themselves to be the "real conservative".  We won't see that in GOP Presidential races for a while from here on out.

Yeah, and Trump is a communist because he ran against and beat far right-winger Ted Cruz by wielding his huge influence over the media. It is obvious from all of the polls that in a *fair* primary Sanders would have won... you know, like this one...

And this one (from June this time)...

Yeah, Sanders obviously should have been the nominee, with this much popular support! Meanwhile, Trump defeats 16 fairly weak candidates, all of whom did their hardest to spoil the race for one another, doesn't even get a majority of the vote (despite running unopposed for CA/NJ/the other post-Indiana primaries), and yet his nomination was apparently "direct democracy" at its finest. Nothing to see here folks...

Look carefully at the screen name.

While I certainly agree with what I said previously, that isn't me doing it.

[RINO Tom]

wtf

It's the bullshyt like this that people always try to tarnish her with that makes me like her even more. She's been withstanding this type of baseless, nonsensical trash for decades.

Impossible.  And if it's possible, wow, no one wants to see that!  I honestly, even viewing you as a smart, valuable poster to this board, can't fathom a news story that could come out about Hillary where you'd decline to vote for her like many Republicans on here have done to Trump.

These facts have been largely ignored by  mass media and Trump himself. They will not affect the election campaign.
