The Gloves Are Off: Trump Accuses Hillary Of Being "Involved In Corruption ...

Complete Headline: The Gloves Are Off: Trump Accuses Hillary Of Being "Involved In Corruption For Most Of Her Professional Life"

It's popcorn time.

Barely 24 hours after Trump launched his first Hillary attack ad in which he showed a laughing Putin respond to a barking Hillary, and shortly after Hillary's SuperPAC responded in kind with an ad of its own in which it used a Trump quote to mock him, the gloves are officially off, and now that both presidential candidates - both convinced they will face off against each other - are beyond the foreplay stage, the gloves have come off and the direct attacks are escalating rapidly.

So rapidly, in fact, that one may say Trump is risking a potential lawsuit with the following accusation (which, however, should not be too difficult to prove should one of Hillary's SuperPACs sue him for libel).

This is what Trump tweeted moments ago.

Hillary Clinton has been involved in corruption for most of her professional life!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2016

This is more than your typical political ad hominem - this is a material allegation with legal implications that goes to the core of Hillary's biggest weakness, her trustworthiness or complete lack thereof, and Trump's charges will only escalate from here on out, hopefully with actual examples. We look forward to Hillary's response.

One thing is certain: for the next six months, America will be entertained.

Trump can call her all the names he wants but sooner or later Trump is going to have to present some evidence.

You nailed it! This is what infuriated me about those two Bozos in 2008 and 2012.

How will he force them to build a wall?

The funds have already been allocated by Congress, it only requires political will at the top to run over the EPA and get started.

If the courts try to pull shenanigans and set up roadblocks, ignore them, obummer does.

She won't sue. If she did it would open the door to all her private records, communications, etc, during discovery. She has a whole warehouse full of skeletons that she needs to remain undisturbed.

Even after the Wall is built, and illegal immigrants are as rare as hen’s teeth

Reminds me of a song..."That'll be the Day".

Is this the same Hillary that he donated to her election to the Senate and he KNEW she was corrupt even then.

I cannot believe that Trump would support a corrupt person like Hillary for the Senate.

I am shocked, I tell you shocked.

There’s over 30 years of public stench on the Witch and she deserves every indignity she’s about to suffer, old sport. That you’d even think to compare the two people shows you really auto get your balance beam re-calibrated.by the end of this she’ll be in the nervous hospital.

Which is the only way she doesn't go to jail.

Trump is playing Hillary like a borrowed fiddle.

He knows that she would be a fool if she chooses to sue him. Trump will unleash his top 100 attorneys with orders to spend every minute of every day making sure that questions about her and Bill’s finances make the news every single day.

She will have to address a new accusation every morning and it will quickly take it’s toll on this already worn out, sickly, fat old cow.

Bring it, Hillary, please bring it!

Nick,

If Trump hadn’t run, you would be screaming at us to support Jeb/Rubio/Kasich/Christie, or else “Hillary will win.” It’s not the same as not getting on the Obama bandwagon in 2008.

"Involved In Corruption For Most Of Her Professional Life"

Trump's not usually given to understatement...

Same with book deals. A big donor “buy” 100,000 books but then only accepts delivery of 100. The rest of the order is then cancelled but some how the money is never returned.

Honestly I’m not sure Trump has taken the gloves off even now. He’s just echoing what many of us have said for decades!

The Trumpster is risking a potential lawsuit by calling the World’s Smartest Woman corrupt!
Wouldn’t that entail discovery?

I see what you did there. Brilliant!

That won't ever happen, because the discovery phase would be a minefield for the Clintons.
