How bad are things getting for Hillary when a popular argument among her defenders is that there was no corruption because Bill cheated the people who thought they were bribing her? Last week, we reported on Hillary fan Dorian Warren suggesting that Bill was "running serious game on many of these countries saying oh, I'll talk to my wife, give me the check, and then never mentioning [it.]"
On today's Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle made that same argument, claiming there was no quid pro quo because knowing Bill, he took the money saying "yeah, sure, I'll call him for you, and he'll never call." Interestingly, Mika Brzezinski wasn't buying, saying that Newt's allegations of bribery "made sense."

Because the issue of “race” like most of their issues are just tools to divide and polarize otherwise they don’t really care about it. The exception is abortion. For some sick reason they really really care about killing babies.
now we know why he stole other people’s ideas; his suck.
But he borrowed this idea, too: as mentioned in the item, on last week’s Morning Joe another guest made the identical argument!
And, there are still a good percentage of voters (and dead people) in this country that will VOTE for this woman.
Springtime for Hillary!
Honest politicians stay bought...
Winter for Poland and France ...... and the United States, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Israel, Yemen, Tunisia, Italy, Spain, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, UAE ....and on and on
Consider the source. Barnicle was an apologist for Whitey Bulger back in the day. Barnicle was the one who created the fiction that “Whitey kept the drugs out of Southie.”
It’s an old Louisiana Governor Edwards defense. Sure my wive took the money from the North Koreans. They offered it to her and she took it. Has nothing to do with me.
And it worked, but mainly because they couldn’t find a jury of 12 people who didn’t have at least one person who would say, “He’s probably guilty, but I like him”.
So the new defense line by Barnicle is that everything is ok with a bribe attempt because Bill was just using the illegal offer of influence to swindle the guy?
How convoluted an argument is that? Democrats don’t even know when they are making an argument for one illegality to cover up another.
