You made those claims. What evidence did I provide? All I said was a donation was made and 6 months later a conversation. Where did I say Joe Blow expected ANYTHING?

Trump knows what paytoplay means.

He has paid and paid and paid.

This is only one tiny example.

Why the $100,000 gift to the Clinton Foundation?

He also freely admitted his gifts can be made two to three years in advance of his asking for a special favor.

You beat me to it.

The OP dismisses Hillary's pay-to-play Foundation mischief and squawks about a case in which Trump was held accountable, and owned it.

Unbelievable.
