Clinton on foundation attacks: 'I know there's a lot of smoke, and there's no fire'

CNN spins her defense as "strong" but this is anything but strong:

Asked by Cooper about why she is waiting until a possible presidency to make the changes [such as limiting donations to only US citizens] rather than implement them immediately, Clinton said, "Obviously, there will be some unique circumstances."

"Didn't those unique circumstances exist when you were secretary of state?" Cooper interjected.

"No, no, look -- I know there is a lot of smoke and there is no fire," Clinton replied, before blasting an Associated Press report out this week that said more than half of the private citizens with whom she met while at the State Department donated to the foundation.

The Clintons ONLY think of Power and MONEY!!!!

[ballplayer]

Mrs.Clinton why would you sell 20% of America’s Uranium to Vladimir Putin for A 145 million dollar donation to your foundation?
Did I miss that question?
I hope Trump throws that in her face at the debate

[ballplayer]

Maybe it’s me but that answer,I did what I thought was right is a classic Clintonian answer,it means you caught me but I don’t give a crap,I will never give in to you suckers,like,I never had sex with that woman,never,not one time! Of course it was every single day.
What a lying sack of crap

[Swede Girl]

Corruption will be her legacy for all time.

[aces]

they have got away with so much, it appears they have things rigged and don’t mind being criminals to rob the american people..if they are in again it will be difficult to ever recover..

[Sir Napsalot]

Hillary is going to lie her way out of this scandal as usual. She doesn’t seem to have any other defense.

>>> “My work as secretary of state was not influenced by any outside forces. I made policy decisions based on what I thought was right.” <<<

The tv ad speaks for itself, “3 am phone call come in, do you trust Hillary’s judgment?” while at the background all of HRC’s past scandals flashing by.

[sphinx]

Sure. And “what she thought was right” was to meet mostly with donors to the Foundation, especially those who had submitted pay to play letters (per the lawyer’s email).

[iontheball]

Hillary is a Greek tragedy playing out before our eyes. Sad that someone can be so mentally twisted and crooked that they can not see straight. What remains is that she and her partner in crime deserve a public shunning that they will never outlive. And what is there to be made of the news that she is going to sit out the rest of the campaign and just try to skate into the WH?

[OrangeHoof]

All that smoke must be coming from her pants...

[Steven Tyler]

The fires always take place on or around a holiday.
Thanksgiving at Hillary’s State Department offices.
Christmas day at the Jessie Jackson family home.
Etc.

You are always left with smoke after the Corrupt Progressive burn the evidence

[The_Media_never_lie]

She is short circuiting again.....

[bray]

Was he combative and interrupting like he is to every Repub? If you believe her she has a video she would like to sell you.

Pray America wakes

It's very simple and comes down to one word that the MSM never use when it comes to either of the Clintons despite the immense list of things with lots of smoke and fire, but they slap on conservatives in an instant at the slightest puff of smoke: Controversial. That great label of delegitimacy the MSM attach to tell people to dismiss a person or idea or program.

Just a few:

• Sheriff Joe Arapaio and now Sheriff David Clarke who not only gets the label, but his own of controversial black sheriff.
• Laws like Arizona's against illegal immigration and North Carolina's against transgender bathrooms.
• The queen of the controversial tag since 2008 who should trademark it is, of course, Sarah Palin.

But after 50+ years of the Weathermen, unethical conduct, bimbo eruptions, Arkancides, Whitewater, cattle futures, emails, lying under oath, disbarment, and impeachment, that controversial tag floats right on by Hillary and Bill, not even stopping for a looksee.

Admitting there is a lot of smoke is a BIG DEAL

Despite the MSM covering for the Clintons Trump’s message is getting out and getting traction

[Maverick68]

Folks, NO ONE is going to get off their couch and stand in line to vote for this bitter, sickly, lying old hag.

She is the EMBODIMENT of every b!tchy old, bitter hag we have ever known.

[RoseofTexas]

When this country tanks COMEY will be remembered as the guy who dropped the ball and let a criminal free!!! COMEY and ROBERTS will be remembered as the biggest @$$holes ever!!!! They have something in common ..they both have blood on their hands!!!

[A_perfect_lady]

No, just smoke and mirrors.

“[Clinton said] “My work as secretary of state was not influenced by any outside forces. I made policy decisions based on what I thought was right.”

I bet there’s hardly an American in this nation that can read the above sentences without laughing out loud...”

Could be... But there’s around 47% of them who will STILL vote for the criminal.
