This is the Clinton smoking gun

smoking-gun

The same people who want you to believe that man-caused global warming is real want you to believe Hillary Clinton has done nothing wrong. It's called suspension of disbelief. At the moment Clinton is attempting to bury Donald Trump in negative ads. It is a typical Clinton tactic - a smokescreen meant to cloud the truth about the degree of Clinton corruption which is so baldly evident. Nothing epitomizes that corruption as this article:

Emails Show Clinton Foundation Donor Reached Out To Hillary Clinton Before Arms Export Boost

Emails just released by the State Department appear to show Clinton Foundation officials brokering a meeting between then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a top military leader of Bahrain — a Middle Eastern country that is a major foundation donor. Soon after the correspondence about a meeting, Clinton’s State Department significantly increased arms export authorizations to the country’s autocratic government, even as that nation moved to crush pro-democracy protests.

In a statement quoted by the Wall Street Journal, a Clinton spokesperson, Josh Schwerin, said of the newly released correspondence: “The fact remains that Hillary Clinton never took action as secretary of state because of donations to the Clinton Foundation.”

The emails, which were obtained through a lawsuit by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, detail how foundation operations and State Department business intersected, even though they were supposed to be walled off from one another. Last week, Clinton’s campaign said the foundation would stop accepting foreign government donations if she is elected president — but did not explain why it accepted that money while Clinton was America’s top diplomat.

Keeping an eye on weapons sales to countries is a specific responsibility of the office of Secretary of State
A 2015 International Business Times investigative series examined how, in that role, Clinton ran an agency that is responsible for regulating U.S. arms exports, and how those State Department exports approvals substantially increased to governments that donated to the Clinton Foundation. Federal law explicitly designates the secretary of state as “responsible for the continuous supervision and general direction of sales” of arms, and early in her term, the State Department called one arms deal a “top priority” for Clinton.
All you needed to do to procure weapons to suppress democracy is buy off Hillary Clinton
The email exchange about Bahrain shows the Clinton Foundation’s top executive Doug Band in 2009 asking Clinton’s State Department aide Huma Abedin to set up a meeting between Clinton and Crown Prince Salman, who had recently been named the deputy supreme commander of Bahrain’s armed forces. Band referred to Salman as a “good friend of ours.”

Abedin told Band that Clinton had initially rejected a previous request for a meeting with Salman because “she doesn’t want to commit to anything for thurs or fri until she knows how she will feel.” Soon after, though, Abedin told Band that the State Department was now offering Salman a meeting with Clinton.

Salman has directed $32 million to a Clinton Foundation program, and the Kingdom of Bahrain has donated up to $100,000 more. As Bahrain money flowed into the Clinton Foundation, State Department documents showed that between 2010 and 2012 the Clinton-led State Department approved $630 million worth of direct commercial arms sales to Salman’s military forces in Bahrain. That was a 187 percent increase from the period 2006 to 2008, and the increase came as Bahrain was violently suppressing uprisings.

Clinton approved the sale of $70,000 worth of "toxicological agents" to a country using them at the same time on their own people and further tried to push additional sales of missiles and armored vehicles to Bahrain.

It's probably just the tip of the iceberg of the obvious. Clinton's office was an open door for bribery:

Hillary Clinton has had her own Fast and Furious gun operation going. This time the money was flowing into her coffers through the Clinton Foundation.

Hillary Clinton left the Benghazi Heros out to dry because of foundation donations from out enemies.

Furthermore, the bogus polling numbers the DNC pays for are to encourage a frenzy of donations before the elections.

Win or lose, Hill, Bill and their daughter Mr. Ed. have lifelong SS protection.

Comey and Lynch will murder, or encourage
others to do so as before,
another 10 innocent witnesses,
whistleblowers, and people ABOUT TO TESTIFY,
to protect their own pay2play treason.

They ALL belong before grand juries, and then in GITMO.

Hillary is responding that she and Bill have never taken a salary from the Clinton Foundation. In order to answer this response, we need to inform people about how they benefit; e.g., Chelsea gets a salary!

NOT if they are in prison...we need to hold off on any convictions of Hillary until after Trump/Pence get into the White House and then bring charges against them and anyone who contributed to the over throw of our country....

Personally I’d like to know more about the email of a couple days ago from the official in the Clinton Foundation to someone in the State Department talking about “our boss” - certainly sounds as though the two were so comingled that their own people thought they were one and the same - might be a lot of fire in back of that smoke.....

I think that level of treason and crime against American citizens deserves a more severe punishment.

All I can really say is the juries for these criminals, should it ever get that far, should be completely protected from knowing who they are except for the Judge and Marshals guarding them.
