I don' understand this damn "pay for play" accusations against Hillary..........

they will drown out the stated facts against their own deeply flawed candidate.

So far, the corporate press has been eating it up.

Those inferences are exactly the basis of opposition to Citizens United and other dirty campaign finance practices. It is not a leap for anyone to latch on to the possibility that campaign contributions are bribes for political favors (pay to play). The SC decisions are based on the flawed idea that you have to be able to prove bribary for donations with expectations to be considered illegal.

The thing that confuses me is when this is part and parcel to the largest problems in our political system, why would the Clinton foundation do that? They did us a great disservice by making it easy to make the natural pay to play assumptions we make when we talk about the Koch brothers buying our government.

I am getting more encouraged by Hillary Clinton as a candidate, but I refuse to be like the guy I talked with recently who defended Trump's talk about how he would probably be dating his daughter if they weren't related.

Their practices left room for this kind of speculation. It is forgivable, but I won't pretend that it is unreasonable for people to continue to make pay to play assumptions.

Nah

I saw this sentence about the Clinton Foundation yesterday and it doesn't make sense to me: "The New York Times editorial board said Clinton ought to distance herself from the nonprofit corporation established by her husband ... that focuses on fighting childhood obesity, addressing the effects of global climate change and creating economic growth." It's not like Cheney and Halliburton. Nonprofit. I don't get what sort of "pay for play" could possibly happen here.

GIVEN, seat on International Security Advisory Board...which deals with Top Secret matters, even those involving nuclear weapons/proliferation/security. Others on the Board questioned his qualifications, but only after ABC began probing the matter did he IMMEDIATELY RESIGN.

Pay. For. Play.

That of the Orange Criminal. The accusations against HRC are mere deflections, a desperate attempt to retain control of the government, even if it means installing a brutal dictator.
