Clinton facing new ethics questions on role in Boeing deal
FOX News ^ | May 12, 2015 | By Dan Springer

When Hillary Clinton was America's top diplomat, she also appeared at times like a top salesperson for America's biggest airplane maker, Boeing.

A sales plug in Russia in 2009, though, may have proved especially fruitful. While touring a Boeing plant, Secretary of State Clinton said, "We're delighted that a new Russian airline, Rossiya, is actively considering acquisition of Boeing aircraft, and this is a shameless pitch."

In 2010, Boeing landed the Russian deal, worth $3.7 billion. And two months later, the company donated $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

This chain of events is raising new questions for Clinton, and Boeing, as the former secretary of state launches her 2016 presidential campaign. The Boeing deal only adds to a growing list of business deals involving Clinton Foundation donors now coming under scrutiny.

She’ll just say “there was nothing sinister about this,” and that will be that.

Until prosecution of the Clinton’s happens for their seemingly everyday corruption/lawbreaking that surfaces, it means absolutely nothing.

Clintons=TEFLON!

RICO? What difference, at this point, does it make?

According to the media:

But the financial connections don't end there. Boeing also paid former President Bill Clinton $250,000 for a speech in 2012. It was a speech that was approved by the State Department's Ethics Office -- which according to an Associated Press report often approved the ex-president's speaking engagements within days.

So your boss comes to you to seek approval on the question about her husband having any ethics issues - and you're actually gonna say no?

Re Hillary and the Boeing deal. Wasn’t there a song that summed it up, paraphrased title, “Do you believe in coincidents, you sexy thing?”

With Hitlery and BJ, there never was such a thing as a “coincidence”. PERIOD (Obama said this, I think, and if he didn’t he should have, though the same thing applies to him).

Do we have a prison big enough for all the Clintonistas and Obamacommies/crooks to fit in?

If not, to quote Roy Schneider in “Jaws”, “You’re gonna need a bigger prison.”

THE HILLARY GAME PLAN

The Clintons are getting accusations of Hillary's criminal influence peddling and other lawbreaking out in public early in the campaign.

Meanwhile she is in her self imposed witness protection program to avoid any direct questions.

When she finally comes out of hiding to start campaigning in earnest if anyone brings up her criminal enterprises or lawbreaking she will say:

"That is old news that has been covered over and over.
It is now time to move on so I can start to help the American people."

The Flying Buttress will skate just like she & Bill always have.

Trey Gowdy might as well consult Flimsey Graham to get fitted for a matching tutu so they can do a pas de deux together.

It pains me to say that.......I had such high hopes for Trey.
