    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.

    I would have to disagree with Donald on that one. Hillary knows the system better than Donald.

    What a hack job.

    The AP omited over 10 thousand meetings Hillary had with world leaders that also donated. Also no special access was granted. They basically published an article without proof of corruption.

    “They've took a small sliver of her tenure as secretary of State, less than half the time, less than a fraction of the meetings she was in, Benenson said. “This is a woman who met with over 17,000 world leaders, countless other government officials, public officials in the United States. And they've looked at 185 meetings and tried to draw a conclusion from that.”

    “What I know is that people donated to this Foundation because of the work the Foundation was doing around the world. No one is contesting that,” Benenson continued. “So is it wrong for a secretary of State to meet with people who are committed to causes of saving lives around the world? When the Department of State is doing that same work? I don't think so.”

    Do you dispute that 85 of the 154 non-government visitors to HRC during her tenure as SOS were Clinton Foundation donors?

    The numbers seem pretty specific.

    ALL OF DC is pay-to-play, totally corrupt, but the smoke (no fire) from Judicial Watch s bags' fishing expedition has all of y'all misogynistic bubbas in a tizzy.

    What is ACTUAL FIRE?

    Trash raising the rent 400%+ on his office space for his campaign staff after donors starting paying that rent.

    That rent goes to Trash's pocket, not to his campaign. pure grift artist.

    Benghazi!

    emails!

    Christmas cards!

    whitewater!

    Benghazi!

    Trash!

    The AP can not omit what they never received. You do realize the AP had to sue and this is all they've been given so far to analyze. Also they didn't include meetings with foreign governments because those meetings would have presumably been part of her diplomatic duties.

    Precisely why you dont complete an investigation without the full scope.

    Even then they cherry picked who she met and whom she didn't meet with. Out of the 185 whatever people whom she met with, they picked 85 for what reason exactly? What about the other 100? I asumed they also met with her, no?

    Or what about the unaccounted 1500+?

    Bad optics, yes. But where is the wrongdoing? What access was given? As it partains to goverment stuff? No evidence so far.

    IMO, this was a hit piece. For whatever reason the AP thought it would be cool to release a half done job.

    Hillary and Bill are doing themselves a disservice by not calling for a press conference and setting it straight. If it was my foundation and I did humanitarian work, I'd make sure to make that clear.

    Every time they speak they get caught in another lie. There's a reason she avoids the press like the plague.

    The AP has an ongoing investigation no reason to not release what they had to sue to get. Had Clinton released them freely the AP would have done a full investigation.

    And of the thought of Bill and Hillary clearing things up with a press conference. They aren't stupid enough to put more lies on top of lies on public record.

    no PROOF, not fire, only "optics" and smoke.

    People "shocked" the Wash DC is pay for play?

    btw, look up what the Clinton Foundation and how other charities rate its work and results.

    Clinton's donors rate her very well for the contracts she hands out to them. btw, look up how much her foundation did for Haiti aka her donor's companies. They didn't even rebuild what was damaged in the earthquake and started construction in the least affected parts of Haiti.


    "Hillary Clinton once hoped that Haiti would be the shining jewel of her foreign policy. But far from transforming this poorest of countries, many of the Clintons’ grandest plans and promises remain little more than small pilot projects—a new set of basketball hoops and a model elementary school here, a functioning factory there—that have done little to alter radically the trajectory of the country. Visiting some of their projects over the course of an April research trip affirmed as much about their tenuousness as about the limited benefits they’ve provided. Many of the most notable investments the Clintons helped launch, such as the new Marriott in the capital, have primarily benefited wealthy foreigners and island’s ruling elite (shocker ) , who needed little help to begin with."

    Yeah there is much worse...but I thought I'd just ease the tip in with a Politico article.
