Many donors to Clinton Foundation met with her at State

By STEPHEN BRAUN and EILEEN SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.

Looks like the best Secretary of State money can buy to me. I can only ask Hillary supporters, why would the Presidency of the United States be any less for sale than the Secretary of State's office if Hillary is elected? What, she's going to just stop if she's President? Hardly, the price for a night in the Lincoln bedroom just went up. Sanders supporters who plan on voting for Hillary, how did you get from Bernie's beliefs to Hillary's? Hillary represents everything Bernie was against. How can you look at yourselves in the mirror in the morning and vote for Hillary?

Paying for access isn't illegal. It is politics. A quid pro quo would be illegal. Of course Americans don't like politics as normal.

That is what I said. The Latin part covered it.

Just imagine if she becomes President?

[Tahuyaman]

At least I'm sure she won't have any blue dresses, or pant suits for that matter, stained in the Oval Office.

Illegal and right are two very different things sometimes.

With Hillary, the Lincoln bedroom will become a profit center with Bill and Epstein charging admission to have the young girls!

[Tahuyaman]

Nearly every day more corruption is exposed. The corruption of the Clinton's literally has no limits. It's endless.

It's incredible.

I'm not voting for clinton. I don't want her in the white house any more than I want Trump there. I just object to the way all you conservatives jump to conclusions and then state them as facts.

People like you ignore or deny the facts surrounding Mrs. Clinton. People like me use the facts to support a conclusion. The conclusion that she is utterly corrupt and unable to tell the truth.

[The Xl]

It's all bribery. She's the biggest offender, but they all do it. American politics is full of corruption and completely illegitimate.

[Tahuyaman]

I don't know how some people can keep ignoring or denying the truth about Hillary Clinton. It's inexplicable.

It's incredible.Go dig clams I imagine you know something about that. Just look for the little hole in the wet sand at low tide.

In this particular case it is not a fact that there was a "pay to play" system to meet with the secretary of state, it is a supposition.

Well, that puts me on the same level with the rest of you guys.

And people like ^^^ don't care. As long as there's a D after the name, they can be as corrupt as they want to be.

it is a fact and you hacks just don't care.

[Crepitus]

it is a fact and you hacks just don't care.

It isn't a fact. It's what you think happened. An opinion, a supposition, conjecture, assumption, I might even go so far as to say a hope on your part.

[Truth Detector]

Pay to Play; why it's the DNC way. ;)

[Tahuyaman]

You see, the Clinton boot-lickers will deny any and all evidence of the Clinton's absolute corruption. Not only is their corruption limitless, the amount of corruption the partisan hacks will condone is limitless.

They now have zero credibility in the future when they cry about the illegal or corrupt actions of their political opponents.

[Tahuyaman]

Why do you now have any credibility to criticize the corruption of those on the opposite side of the political aisle?

?

[ripmeister]

What supposed corruptions have led to indictments. Your word choices matter. Hillarys problem is no matter what comes up there is presumption of guilt rather than innocence. Thankfully from a legal point of view there is a presumption of innocence still in this country. I'm not a fan of Hillary but this stuff anymore is another example of The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf.

[Tahuyaman]

?

how can you have the credibility to criticize the corruption on one side if you deny it on the other? Is that too confusing for you?

Do those who engage in corrupt activities always get indicted?

[Crepitus]

Can you show me where I accused the Republican candidate of corruption?

[ripmeister]

Do those who engage in corrupt activities always get indicted?

No but those who have not been indicted have not been proven to be corrupt. I prefer facts over supposition.

[Tahuyaman]

Can you show me where I accused the Republican candidate of corruption?
Let me take it slower just for you. If you are unwilling to criticize the obvious corruption of the Clinton's how will you be able to criticize it on the other side when it happens, which it will.

[Tahuyaman]

No but those who have not been indicted have not been proven to be corrupt. I prefer facts over supposition.

There are plenty of facts out there. You just need to quite ignoring them for partisan purposes.

[ripmeister]

Yet no indictments. I guess the supposed facts may not be such.

Don't confuse a court of law with the court of public opinion. They are two different things. What Hillary did with a private server and classified information was a crime the government decided was too hard to try to prove. But everyday people know it was illegal.

[Tahuyaman]

Yet no indictments. I guess the supposed facts may not be such.

that's a ringing endorsement.

[Tahuyaman]

Like I said. Those who are willing to ignore, deny or trivialize obvious corruption are demonstrating exactly what kind of person they truly are.

[Crepitus]

Let me take it slower just for you. If you are unwilling to criticize the obvious corruption of the Clinton's how will you be able to criticize it on the other side when it happens, which it will.
I actually have no doubt that it will, but in this case the haters are grasping at straws.

No, you are denying the obvious because of partisanship.

[Crepitus]

No, you are denying the obvious because of partisanship.
Nope, you are reading more in because of partisanship.

[Tahuyaman]

Sometimes all you can do is shake your head and move on. Just let em go on believing in a lie.

[ripmeister]

There are plenty of facts out there. You just need to quite ignoring them for partisan purposes.

So what are the facts that prove corruption? The problem with a lot of people is they "have feelings". Trump refers to this all the time. People "feel" less secure, people feel like there is more crime etc. etc. etc. The data says otherwise. I try and draw my conclusions from the data, the facts, not feelings.

When are you partisan types going to finally throw in the towel and admit the truth about the Clinton's?

Is that ever going to happen, or are going to keep denying the facts forever?

Just to set the record straight I'm an independent in search of truth. I can't respond though unless you cite the "facts" you mention.

You really don't know any of the facts surrounding Hillary Clinton? Seriously?

Have you been living off the grid for the past year or so?

No, I know a lot of facts about Hillary Clinton. I'm asking about which facts you are referring to. That's all. If you don't want to cite some then so be it.

The facts which proves she is unable to ever tell the truth. The facts which demonstrate her utter corruption.

Your use of superlatives invalidates any point you are trying to make.

[Tahuyaman]

It's incredible how her fans can be so blindly loyal. I've never seen a group of people so able to ignore or deny that which is completely evident to everyone.
