No, its called being polite by posting a link so people know what you are talking about when you make a original post, rather then forcing EVERY single reader to do the same. You defend the indefensible here. This isn't like two people having a back and forth over minutia, its the original post.

Not at all unusual for big charities with humanitarian or medical missions to solicit donations from foreign donors. They don't particularity care that sometimes the sources of funding come from countries with lousy human rights.

What is unusual is that the Clinton Foundation was not closed while Hillary was SoS to avoid creating any perception of conflicts of interest. Nearly impossible to prove or disprove Pay for Play. Nonetheless, the choice to operate the charity and solicit donations was made and the Clintons deserve the fall out.

On the flip side, if elected, Trump presents with unprecedented conflicts of interest given he owes $ billions to domestic and foreign banks.

Regardless of which one wins, he/ she is the most unpopular POTUS elect in history

If given a choice I have no doubt a super majority of voters would hit the reset button and choose 2 different nominees. Instead, we will get the POTUS we deserve.

LOL Splitting hairs! Seriously!!


Why are the Clintons taking any money from countries that treat their people like trash, their women and children as an infection in their country? Isn't Hillary all about "women's rights" our is this just her faux campaign slogan?

"Would like to see WJC "for five minutes" in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC's birthday in 2011."

So is the check for getting face time with Bill or what? To me this reads, if you talk to us in private, Bill, you will get the $$$. Wonder what Qatar wanted to discuss?!?

Clearly it WASN'T about what charities they should donate funds to as this was addressed separately and the email author adesai at the Foundation was on task to figure that part out.

The rest of the email is very interesting. Really looks like the Foundation is pimping out Bill and he is acting like an international investment/power broker (putting $ and projects together) but you don't see who is making $ on the back ends of the projects. Read the email carefully and you will see foreign politicians using our President to gain political favors for themselves (BRAZIL - "...will think about any sites that WJC could visit to highlight Brazil's leadership on climate issues" RWANDA - "...the critisim of Kagame seems to have quieted, partly due to WJC and Blair's unwavering support for Kagame."

This is all fine and well Bill. But golly gee - why can't you focus on helping the country that elected YOU president. Plenty of problems to work on here at home. Plenty of them.

It was a payment to Islamize America. It's not hard to understand why Hillary wants open borders for muslims and never criticizes muslims even when they commit terrorist attacks in the US.

Same reasons other charities do.

Why has Trump entered into business partnerships with wealthy people from countries that have dismal human rights records?

After the bru ha ha with Mygan Kelly after the first primary debate, Trump tweeted a picture of Kelly with Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin. The Prince tweeted he had bailed Trump out twice. The Plaza Hotel bankruptcy was one of those.

Has Trump disclosed all of his business interests and debt? Is no one concerned he owes $ billions to domestic and foreign banks and will be in a position to favorably impact that debt?

Yet, despite past, present and future perceptions of conflicts of interest here we are with a Clinton/ Trump ticket and focus on who has bigger hands, Bill Clinton or Trump.

He didn't argue against what you are saying, he said the Clinton Foundation forwarded the email to Justin on Bill Clintons personal staff. That's actually a perfectly reasonable explanation. Considering the emails were to and from the Clinton Foundation and not for public view, I think it could be safe to assume they were for the foundations use. This email was sent from and sent to at least 5 different people. If this was some big fraudulent deal like is trying to be made, they wouldn't have done that.
I just don't find it a perfectly reasonable explanation if the original agreement was that all clinton foundation activities were supposed to be walled off from everything else. If you need to loop in president clinton, have an email address for him on the clintonfoundation.com doman, that would be the definition of keeping things walled off. Its an incredibly easy fix, and Justin who was originally the IT guy could have taken care of this so it would be seemless for Bill to have an email address at the foundation that was for stuff just like this.

Overall this is peanuts compared to the real issues though.

When Hillary ran guns, that got 4 Americans killed, to Syrian and Libyan it was through Qatar. Qatar is our puppet.

I'm going to defend Hillary this time.
Don't you remember when Hillary said it was a video? You know how those muslims act? They can't control themselves and they'll kill over a video. Therefore they must be savages.

It's all very confusing.
