At what point is the Democratic party going to realize they need to do something about the Clinton situation or risk losing any creditability as a political party. First there were all the super delegates and now the scandals are stacking up about their hand picked candidate. Can anybody ever trust this party and their "look the other way" attitude again?

I'm guessing we could reduce the number of Hillary threads by 99% if we agreed to limit our discussions to the times she wasn't lying.

The "indication" part come directly from the US State Department Calendars. That's what they know so far - information is still coming in.

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.

She SOLD access and PERSONALLY reaped the benefits - That is Corruption & deserves RICO charges.
Governor Blago is sitting in Prison for RICO charges because he attempted to SELL a US Senate Seat.
Clinton left a big Money Trail and a Government Calendar - she didn't "attempt" to sell - she did it and there are Records to prove it.

Honestly - is there NO Level of Corruption that you would accept? Anything goes as long as there is a "D" next to the name of the criminal???
Bravo on your post and you beat me to the punch. It is truly amazing how many Liberals and Progressives over look the Clinton Long History.


Good forbid if his was a GOP Candidate! There would tar and Feathers for the Trump Family!

What is it you think has been discovered? Is it really remarkable that a big international charity had dealings with more than half of the outside people who met with the SofS? What happens if it was 75% or 25%? Better? Worse? How many of them received substantial help?

The upper class will likely dominated donations to large international charities and audiences with high government officials. Does this really surprise anyone? Who did you think gets to meet with high officials?

What percentage of donors gaining access would you accept? None? Meaning anyone who gave to a worldwide non profit was deprived of access? 2%, 10%, 50%? How did you decide.

Whole argument is naive. Movers and Shakers give money and have access. Will always be so.
Name another Secretary of State that was accepting "donations" while in office. She should never been in that position considering her involvement in a "charity" that accepted donations from people she would be dealing with as a government employee.

What would you say about a Judge that accepted donations to his family charity from plaintiffs appearing in his court room? Is that ethical? Would you see no problem with it?

I am as shocked as the rest of the sheep when the wool gets sheared off of them!
That's how we can expect her to work as a President if she gets chosen. I guess the country will become a country of fraud and deceive,
