Has Hillary really been properly vetted?

[Arizona Roadrunner]

Here is just one example of whether Hillary has been properly vetted. Suggest she has not in reality. The potential for conflicts of interest with speech fees accepted, Clinton foundation etc. may be much greater than we currently know of at this time. Here is one example. By the way, if she is so transparent, why hasn't she had a general press conference for months?

1. No she hasn't

because people just say "right-wing conspiracy" and don't look at facts.

One thing all the corporations and foreign governments who donate to the Foundation or hire Bill to speak agree on is that Hill gives good value for her quid pro quos.

The Swiss bank UBS is one of the biggest, most powerful financial institutions in the world. As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton intervened to help it out with the IRS. And after that, the Swiss bank paid Bill Clinton $1.5 million for speaking gigs. The Wall Street Journal reported all that and more Thursday in an article that highlights huge conflicts of interest that the Clintons have created in the recent past.

The piece begins by detailing how Clinton helped the global bank. “A few weeks after Hillary Clinton was sworn in as secretary of state in early 2009, she was summoned to Geneva by her Swiss counterpart to discuss an urgent matter. The Internal Revenue Service was suing UBS AG to get the identities of Americans with secret accounts,” the newspaper reports. “If the case proceeded, Switzerland’s largest bank would face an impossible choice: Violate Swiss secrecy laws by handing over the names, or refuse and face criminal charges in U.S. federal court. Within months, Mrs. Clinton announced a tentative legal settlement—an unusual intervention by the top U.S. diplomat. UBS ultimately turned over information on 4,450 accounts, a fraction of the 52,000 sought by the IRS.”

Then reporters James V. Grimaldi and Rebecca Ballhaus lay out how UBS helped the Clintons. “Total donations by UBS to the Clinton Foundation grew from less than $60,000 through 2008 to a cumulative total of about $600,000 by the end of 2014, according to the foundation and the bank,” they report. “The bank also joined the Clinton Foundation to launch entrepreneurship and inner-city loan programs, through which it lent $32 million. And it paid former president Bill Clinton $1.5 million to participate in a series of question-and-answer sessions with UBS Wealth Management Chief Executive Bob McCann, making UBS his biggest single corporate source of speech income disclosed since he left the White House.”

Maybe it’s all a mere coincidence, and when UBS agreed to pay Bill Clinton $1.5 million the relevant decision-maker wasn’t even aware of the vast sum his wife may have saved the bank or the power that she will potentially wield after the 2016 presidential election.
But even that wouldn’t make accepting the $1.5 million excusable.

3. Well....if your new to politics, one may ask that question.

Yes, she had been vetted multiple times.. Remember, she was Secretary of State.

10. The operable word is "properly"

Being Secretary of State doesn't automatically mean she has been "properly" vetted. Frankly, the more we hear and see, the worse it appears.

13. Hillary has been so vetted...

I bet they have her last pap smear results.

[DanTex]

4. Yes. These conspiracy theories have been circulating for years and nothing approaching

a shred of evidence has ever been found to support any of them.

6. There are two federal judges who have granted discovery in cases against her. Just Consp Theory?

I'm afraid they have found evidence and cause sufficient to proceed. You are foolish to continue to make this argument.

7. GOP-appointed judges. What part of "Republicans have been trying to take Clinton down for years"

is not getting through to you?

[leveymg]

12. That is incorrect. 1 Judges appointed by Obama. Ad hominem attacks don't work

except when you're preaching to the Choir.

11. If by vetted you mean

Voters had a chance before to look at her records and based on that, rejected her, and she couldn't make it past the primaries, then yes - everything up to that point in time was vetted and scored a big FAIL.

New info and activities since then? No.
