The attacks on The Clinton Foundation were about foreign countries buying influence & favors from HC by donating money to her pet project. Conservatives point out that regardless if there is no evidence backing the pay-for-play accusations, the fact that other countries were able to give money to someone who had a hand in decisions that hurt or benefitted their country at least showed HC had poor judgment.
So what changed w/ Trump? Not only is he already indebted to foreign countries, he’s keeping himself and his family clearly involved in businesses that other countries can use to buy influence & favors…
Why are Conservatives so convinced that Trump will act unbiasedly, yet equally convinced that HC acted inappropriately when she was in the same position?
If Conservatives don't think Trump should divest, are they admitting the pay-4-play attacks on Clinton were BS?
Short answer, yes..
wrong
short answer. NO.
Why because its against the law for a SecState to require people pay her for access.
It is specifically NOT against the law for a sitting President to hold business interests. and more importantly the US CODE excludes the president from conflict of interests laws.... THAT APPLY TO SECSTATE.

I agree.. But.. I also think that it will be his downfall that he hasn't removed himself.
He's not required to do it.. He should do it.. He won't do it.
He'll say that he never discusses business with his kids.. It won't be believed.
It's a train wreck looking for a spot to happen. And there's a sharp curve ahead.
We knew what we voted for. We knew Trump was in the hotel/resort/casino business.
Hillary tried to conceal her pay-for-play organization. When caught, she tried to deny it. 100's of thousands of dollars per speech while still holding office?
you can all be sure that the left is going to beat this drum every single day for as long as TheDonald is president. This is a bout delegitimizing the man. It is the key to their access back to control of the government.
There is no other option for the left. For the next 4 years at least this is going to be the daily conversation. we will do this every single day at C-D. We will see this every single day on every single news outlet.
There will be calls for impeachment constantly because this is what PROGS do. This is the tool they have. They will not stop. period.

So what law did she break?
You're making up statutes that either don't exist or don't apply to her. She actually held the position. If she was breaking the conflict of interest laws, she would have been charged accordingly.
So now that we've gotten that false narrative out of the way... please answer how a foreign country putting money into one politician's pocket is considered corruption for Clinton, but not Trump?
I'm not even going to include the fact that at least Clinton Foundation donations don't actually go into the Clinton bank account, unlike payments to Trump's businesses.

So your argument is that since we know Trump is getting influenced by this surge of money going into his properties, that means his bribes are okay?

This isn't about delegitimizing him. It's about delegitimizing you, your Conservative ilk and the faux-outrage. Everytime Trump does something that you tried to use as albatross to hang around Clinton's and Obama's necks, you further make the case that all Conservatives cared about was trying to ruin their ability to succeed.
