Maybe but as far as I know Drumph still has his crack team looking for birth certificates or lack thereof. They have lots of things on their to do list. Wall building planning, genitalia measurement, lecturing at Drumph university, checking on Mormon cred for mittens, bankruptcy planning, vetting tanning faculties ahead of visits. So little time. Besides by now the tin foil hat machine of Clinton conspiracies is nearly a perpetual motion device. Need nothing more than a Pavlovian whistle every now and again to keep it churning.

So, you are saying that there was a quid pro quo? Moreover, are you also saying there was no reasonable basis for the arms deal? Moreover, moreover, the Clintons don't monetarily gain from donations to the Clinton Foundation.

What I read from this thread is abject desperation to slander Mrs. Clinton.

So, your response to me is first to resort to an ad hominem attack and then post a list of allegations that Mrs. Clinton either had nothing to do with, was cleared or were baseless (and silly) conspiracy theories. If you have some substance, post it -- but just posting "Vince Foster," who committed suicide, means what, exactly? What does Monica Lewinsky have anything to do with Mrs. Clinton's ability to be President? You are really desperately grasping for straws because you know that Republicans can't compete on policy issues, so they have to resort to distracting voters by having them follow the shinny object.

If there is no reasonable basis for an arms deal, Republicans are perfectly willing to overlook it if the seller issues a simple "Well, I don't remember".

Rich people don't always need "monetary gain". Power, influence and favors are worth much more than a bit more money in the bank of millionaires.

Haven't all of these things been investigated OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!!!

Enough! Republicans WASTE TOO MUCH TAXPAYER MONEY INVESTIGATING THE CLINTONS! You want to get rid of waste, fraud and abuse? YOU CAN START RIGHT THERE! STOP INVESTIGATING THE CLINTONS!!!!

I'd like to see Congress pass a bill making it ILLEGAL to investigate the Clintons more than once over ANY accusation!

Lewinsky scandal?

You mean the private matter Republicans wasted millions of dollars of taxpayer money on to run a lame, failed witch hunt?

Every one of these investigations has cost MILLIONS of dollars. Look at Benghazi! There have been 8 investigations. I believe it is approaching ONE BILLION dollars just investigating Benghazi. This is RIDICULOUS and it should be criminalized to waste so much money on multiple investigations of the same thing. (This makes me think I should put up a petition on the White House website. I'm sure 100,000 people would agree with me.)

Release your Wall St. speech transcripts.
--"I will if all other candidates do".

It seems she only wants to share the bad things with others.
