If there was actual proof she would have come up on charges, who knows maybe one day they will.


Actually there does seem to be evidence of colluding with his minions, oh and it not just Dems that are calling for the investigations to be completed so that all the facts are known. The funny thing is Cons always love to say that if one has done nothing wrong then they have nothing to worry about in an investigation, yet many of them now want the investigations to be stopped, is there something to fear?

Valid point.

The problem with these Dog and Pony investigations is that even when they find evidence of wrong doing they do nothing about it.

The two parties use them to raise money for the most part at the taxpayers expense.

What did the GOP ever do about the IRS mess? Nothing.

Clinton pressured Bangladesh prime minister personally to help foundation donor | Circa News - Learn. Think. Do.

The Prime Minister of Bangladesh has no reason to lie about this unless of course you also believe she might be a misogynist. It's not surprising this has bank ties to it either.

The Office of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina confirmed to Circa that Mrs. Clinton called her office in March 2011 to demand that Dr. Muhammed Yunus, a 2006 Nobel Peace prize winner, be restored to his role as chairman of the country’s most famous microcredit bank, Grameen Bank. The bank’s nonprofit Grameen America, which Yunus chairs, has given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Global Initiative. Grameen Research, which is chaired by Yunus, has donated between $25,000 and $50,000, according to the Clinton Foundation website.

Do you suppose there will be an investigation or calls for one?
Senate was aware of the Clinton Foundation and the potential for a perception of a conflict of interest during the confirmation process. Nonetheless, all but one voted to confirm her. It was not an issue until she ran for nomination.

Decision to not close the foundation and avoid all opportunities to create a perception of a conflict of interest demonstrated poor judgment on her part.

She lost the election. Time to get over it.

There's a new sheriff in town with his own unprecedented conflicts of interest.

He has plenty but by ignoring one you can't expect others to do differently. I've made this argument for a long time.

How can you expect others to do what you would not do?

Because neither the Repubs or Dems actually work in the best interests of the People or the Nation, and in reality are simply different sides of the same coin, unfortunately the loyal members of both Parties cannot grasp this fact. We get the Government we deserve.

I'd go for that but it would never happen. As to a point I've made many times........if we would have cared six years ago (or even a year ago) we aren't in the mess we are in today.

Can't help myself? No, I suppose I do enjoy pointing out that we have Trump because the (D)'s insisted on foisting a morally, ethically corrupt candidate on us.

Well, let's at least enjoy him while we have him because his presidency is one HOT MESS. Good Lord; I have never seen anything like his incompetency! But, it has not been boring ~ I'll give him that.

He has been incompetent but for the life of me I do not understand how the (D)'s think countering incompetence is running around yelling RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.
