Chuck Todd: ‘It Boggles The Mind’ That Clinton Foundation Continues To Take Foreign Donations
The Daily Caller ^ | 2015-04-29 | Al Weaver

Posted on 04/29/2015 9:14:40 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

During an appearance on “Morning Joe” Wednesday, “Meet The Press” moderator Chuck Todd said that it “boggles the mind” that the Clinton Foundation continues to take foreign donations.

Todd’s remarks come after such donations from Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state have come under increased scrutiny amid the launch of her 2016 presidential campaign.

Well, I mean, look, to me, though, that’s the part of this that makes it more damning on the Clintons,” Todd told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, both of whom argued the onus is on the White House in this situation.

“This is where I shake my head and don’t understand why the Clintons continue to take foreign money,” Todd said. “Clearly the White House was concerned enough that they felt that they had to put something in writing.”

“Now, I agree with you, let’s get it all out there on that front. But to me, this is a reminder of like, the White House knew this look bad, why in God’s earth is the Clinton Foundation still taking foreign donations?” Todd asked. “It boggles the mind.”

Was there evidence this is still continuing even after her announcement to run for president?

Todd, your mind is boggled. Not ours. And you think conservatives didn’t have a read on her for the past 20 years? We are only surprised it has taken this long to bubble to the surface.

If they stopped, that would be an admission that they were doing something wrong.

“This is where I shake my head and don’t understand why the Clintons continue to take foreign money,” Todd said.

Chuck, you incredible nincompoop....it's because,

No one in the media is going to call them on it!

It is the same reason that "protesters" in Baltimore continue to burn their own neighborhoods. Because they can get away with it. In both cases, it doesn't sell in suburbia.

Not boggling at all. It is all about the money. The Clinton Cash. They would kill millions to make millions.

They are at least limiting donations to 6 countries ,Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the U.K., that are less politically sensitive than those who gave last year. That seems to have been the compromise by the board, in addition to quarterly disclosure statements. Will be interesting to watch. :)

They will never stop, I can just hear them:

“Sure use the same account for the 500k. The grand jury will never indict”

” don’t worry, we will beat these charges. Thanks for the 200k”

“The judge made an error, we will win on appeal . Boy that 100k sure helps!”

” 5-7 is not that bad. We will be out in 3. Can we still count on that 50k ?”

It is astonishing that between Todd and the rest of
the liars, DNC promoters, and tax-avoiders at NBC
that there might be even one (1) mind, in total.

One wold think even a lap dog like Chuck Todd could figure it out. They are taking every dollar they can get their grubby hands on before Hillary’s campaign implodes and they have no more influence to peddle. Can’t run an influence racket without influence.

The Clinton Foundation is old school Tammany Hall, Boardwalk Empire politics. They just upped the stakes. They were selling our national foreign policy.

“Take The Money And Run”

This here’s a story about Billy J and Hillary, too
Two young lovers with nothin’ better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

They headed down to, ooh, old Washington DC
That’s where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy J shot a wad on Monica’s tassle
Hillary took the money and run

Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain’t gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin’ off of the people’s taxes

Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away
Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day
They got the money, hey
You know they got away
They headed down south and they’re still running today
Singin’ go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

Because they’re crooks, Chuck! Try being honest with yourself and then think again.
