State Dept. shuts down questions on Clinton Foundation emails (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2599048)

The US resembles sub-Sahara Africa with Hillary's State Department.


A State Department spokeswoman said Wednesday that the agency does not believe Hillary Clinton violated any ethics requirements by interacting with Clinton Foundation donors.


"We feel confident that all the rules were followed," Elizabeth Trudeau, State Department spokeswoman, said amid a backlash over previously undisclosed emails that showed the special access foundation donors enjoyed in the early months of Clinton's tenure at the agency.


Trudeau shut down questions during the agency's daily briefing about emails that suggested a Clinton Foundation official had informed one of Clinton's top aides that it was "important to take care of" an individual whose name was redacted. Clinton's aide responded (http://www.judicialwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/JW-v-State-Abedin-production-9-00684-pg-212-1.pdf) that the agency was working to find him a position.


"I can't speak to specific cases," Trudeau said in response to multiple questions about whether the individual was hired and whether his consideration for a political appointment constituted nepotism.

There is a treasure trove of Watergate type stuff out there. All we need is an honest MSM outlet to do their ethical duty in reporting it. Where is Woodward and Bernstein when we need them. I guess the only answer is Wikileaks. Unfortunately.

Why can't Hillary Clinton interact with the Clinton Foundation's donors?

Why can't Hillary Clinton interact with the Clinton Foundation's donors?

When they give big money to the Foundation, and then the State Department gives them a big grant, or contract- that is illegal. Pay for play.

We haven't seen this much corruption since President Grant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_S._Grant_presidential_administration_scand als).
