Wonder why.

EXACTLY!

Hacked emails raise possibility of Clinton Foundation ethics breach
Hacked emails published by Wikileaks this week appear to show Qatar pledging to donate $1 million to Hillary Clinton's family's charitable foundation, despite her promise to curb new donations by foreign governments while U.S. secretary of state.



The ambassador said that he asked "to see WJC 'for five minutes' in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC's birthday in 2011," Amitabh Desai, the foundation official, writes in his email, using the former U.S. president's initials.


Hillary Clinton, who is the Democratic nominee for the Nov. 8 presidential election, served as secretary of state from 2009 until 2013.


Clinton's campaign has been embarrassed by this and similar recent hacking attacks on other Democratic Party officials, some of which appear to show Clinton and her aides saying things in private that contradict their public positions. Her spokesmen have not disputed the authenticity of the hacked emails.



Last year, Reuters found that at least seven other foreign governments made new donations to the foundation without the State Department being informed, partly, foundation officials said, because of "oversights."

Yet this habitual lying criminal is allowed to campaign for President!

I would **** about Russians connections.

But that's just me.

Carry on.
You entirely deflected from the question. I asked specifically about the contents of the emails and whether or not you support the behaviors indicated in the emails.

Let's see if I can clear up any confusion you may have about my opinion of the behaviors indicated in the emails.

I do not support a presidential candidate hiring a Russian operative to run his campaign.

I do not support a presidential candidate praising Putin/Russian invasion efforts and plans.

I do not support a presidential candidate reading items at rallies from the Kremlin-controlled Sputnik.

I do not support a presidential candidate openly calling for Russia to hack American emails.

I do not put any faith whatsoever in the accuracy of Russian-hacked emails.

If the best you got is Russian-hacked emails about a possible connection between Podesta and a Russian money-laundering firm, you don't have much.

Clear enough for you?

Just so that we are on the same page, I am not confused at all by your opinion of the behaviors indicated in the emails because you still have not addressed them. You sound just like the MSM and Clinton Campaign. There is nothing substantive about your answer as it simply does not address ANYTHING I asked, but simply deflects from it. Now...since Podesta has not denied the authenticity of the emails, I'll ask you the question again, but try to rephrase it in the most basic way so you are not further confused.

Do you agree with the behaviors of the individuals involved in the Clinton Campaign that has been indicated in the Podesta emails? It should be a simple yes or no.

Let me add to this "do you agree with the corrupt acts and possibly illegal actions by a public official as outlined in several of the emails?"

My guess AZliam is you will get another deflection or a non answer which means "why yes I do".

Podesta claims he SAW the email. Not heard of, not got wind of or suspected - he SAW. From what I can see - there is exactly one place he could have received / seen the email to AG Lynch - FROM AG Lynch. And I believe the timing lines up where the DOJ was already investigating Hillary's emails?

If that's the way it worked, this is the most egregious thing we have learned all election season. A senator and head of judiciary committee sends a recommendation to the attorney general, and the AG shares it with the key crony of the person at the center of the recommendation. If true, the whole system needs to be burnt to the ground.
Most Democrats cannot read something this complex. But you are correct...and they will vote for her anyway.
