New revelations show a nation for sale under Hillary Clinton
NY Post ^ | 08/24/16 | David Harsanyi

The Democratic Party often warns us that mixing big money and politics will corrupt democracy. They must have nominated Hillary Clinton to prove it.

The Clinton Foundation was ostensibly set up to solve the world’s most pressing problems. Though it’s done some fine work, its most fruitful program has been leveraging Clinton’s position in the State Department to enrich her family, friends and cronies.

It’s against federal law for charities to act in the interests of private business or individuals. Yet the Clinton Foundation secured high-paying gigs for its namesakes and helped for-profit corporations with family ties set up lucrative deals.

As it turns out, that’s probably the least corrupt part of the story.

It is becoming clear the foundation was a center of influence peddling. Rock stars. Soccer players. Conglomerates. Crown princes. All of them paid in. All of them expected access to the US government.

Want a seat on a government intelligence advisory board even though you have no relevant experience? The Clinton Foundation may be able to help.

Recently released emails prove the charity’s officials had sought access to State Department personnel while Hillary was in charge. Folks like the prince of Bahrain, who donated $32 million to the foundation, needed to get in touch.

An Associated Press investigation finds that more than half the private citizens who met or spoke with Clinton while she was secretary of state also happened to donate to her foundation. What are the odds?

Stop picking on the very open, transparent Clinton foundation. There is nothing to see here but good honest charity wok.

Hillary would be the most corrupt president in history if elected.

She would make Nixon look like a child prankster.

When is the enemedia or mediacrats going to demand that in the best interests of this country, Clinton immediately suspend her campaign for President? They were demanding Trump back out for calling illegal immigrant rapists and drug dealers illegal immigrant rapists and drug dealers.

Hillary brazenly goes on Jimmy Kimmel to clown around, opens a pickle jar, and talks about her “boring” e-mails.

Keep in mind this was a setup-—a person of Hillary’s stature gets to tell the show’s producers what she wants to talk about (for lesser guests, its the other way around. They are told what the host wants to talk about).

So Hillary connives to lay it out there....that her emails are boring and irrelevant.

If that were so, why was she hiding them from the Justice Dept? If it’s no big deal, why did it take four years and a lawsuit against the State Department to gain access to her planning schedules?

More significantly, why did she lie to the American people? Erase tens of thousands of e-mails? Set up a private server in the first place?

The author underlines that Hillary claims running the State Department gave her the “experience and temperament” necessary to be president. But if anything, it reminds us of the Clintons’ propensity for scandal and dishonesty....(and outright lies if the price is right).

Nixon is a piker compared to Clinton.

What is worse is that her supporters don’t care how corrupt she is.

Their years of selling military secrets, favors and access during Bill's administration and Hillary's terms as Senator and Sec. of State were just learning experiences.

If Crooked Hillary gets back in the White House America will end up looking like one of those looted WalMarts.

How many times did the liberals proclaim “It’s Not the Nature of the Evidence; It’s the Seriousness of the Charge”?

Liberals don’t want to strengthen America, they want to weaken the image and broaden a global perception and outreach. When will centrists and the undecideds wake up to this fact?!
