MANY [HALF] DONORS TO CLINTON FOUNDATION MET WITH HER AT STATE
AP ^ | 23 August 2016 | STEPHEN BRAUN AND EILEEN SULLIVAN

More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money - either personally or through companies or groups - to the Clinton Foundation. It's an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.

At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.

ah the media will not even mention ay of this about Clinton and instead mention how Trump said something not nice.

Seems the media get more upset about what upsets someone than a woman who is corrupt, had an illegal server which sent classified information and then she lied about it. Then took money from governments and special interests, some of which are corrupt and treat women like crap. The she lies about that too.

I guess none of that matters when the person who does all that is in tune with their political beliefs and these biased, media pieces of scum say they are not biased!!!

ummmm ... the Pulitzers are awarded by liberal journalists.

I know what you mean about the magnitude of the story, but it always will be a long shot to win a Pulitzer for taking down liberal politicians.

And Crooked Hillary still leads, or at least very optimistically, is tied in every poll.

Don't believe it.

Pollsters are part of the establishment. It's easy to bend results when the pollsters want to favor a candidate.

Instead of looking at polls, look at the turnout at rallies.

“So? Access, not favors. She’s up 16 in Virginia. Trump’s in the bunker. It’s over. This is old news. Asked and answered. Really boring. VRWC. Colin Powell’s fault. What difference does it make? Pickle jar...”

Sadly, this is also how the vast majority of American voters see it.

I’m watching every Trump rally & loving the crowds. That’s why I too, find the polls hard to believe. But every time Trump goes up a point or two, the next day they turn around rather than keep trending in his direction. I hope you are right.

Ron Paul had big crowds. So did Bernie. They’re both on the couch right now.

I hope Huma inherited a magic carpet. I’m sure this must have been all her fault.

LOL. Clinton's conscience is differently-abled.

You can’t prove that! And if you can, I’ll take your word for it. Don’t show me.

If she spent that much time on Foundation business, she must have neglected her public duties. That explains why she didn't act on the security requests for Benghazi.

I guess if Patricia Smith had been a donor to the Clinton Foundation, her son might be alive today.

AT STATE.............that’s illegal..................

Not necessarily. Clinton will say she was selling access, not influence. See United States v. Sun Diamond Growers of California.

“I’ll take your word for it. Don’t show me.”

Someone had to install that catheter.

Some jobs just aren’t worth whatever the pay is.

Well, before you can have ‘influence’ you must have ‘access’................

Folks....the bottom line is; The Associated Press has come to the honest realization that Hillary Clinton is neither fit nor capable to become the POTUS!!! This woman is indeed a criminal many times over, and is in failing health condition to boot!!! The Democrat Party would be wise to broom her as quickly as possible....for if they do not broom her very quickly, the entire Democrat Party will become totally embroiled in her shortcomings and failures. End of story!!!

Nevertheless, it is some prominent Dems and some liberal press who are spilling the beans the last several days-—why?:
