Trump escalates attack on Bill Clintonhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-escalates-attack-on-bill-clinton/2016/05/23/ed109acc-2100-11e6-8690-f14ca9de2972_story.html

"SNIP.............
In one recent interview, Trump said another topic of potential concern is the suicide of former White House aide Vincent Foster, which remains the focus of intense and far-fetched conspiracy theories on the Internet.
Its the one thing with her, whether its Whitewater or whether its Vince Foster or whether its Benghazi. Its always a mess with Hillary, Trump said in the interview.
The real estate mogul and his allies hope that his tactics will bring fresh scrutiny to the Clintons long record in public life, which conservatives characterize as defined by scandals that her allies view as witch hunts. Through social media and Trumps ability to garner unfiltered attention on the Internet and the airwaves, political strategists believe he could revitalize the controversies among voters who do not remember them well or are too young to have lived through them.
The Clintons collectively have dodged many, many, many bullets. So much that was suppressed [by the media] is going to get re-analyzed. So many of the things that they slipped by on will get reexamined, Trump ally Roger Stone said Monday. Thats something they should have counted on before getting into the race.

(118,617 posts)1. Trump is good at pulling down fictions, not spreading them. If this is all he's got (and thanks to
the GOP. the Clintons are well vetted) he's got nothing. Remember Vince Foster came to nothing it was just a GOP conspiracy theory. Whitewater Ken Starr apologized for. And Benghazi.....remember the Benghazi hearing last October? Hillary masterfully swatted down all the bullshit. LOL!

Trump has some nutball advisers if they think they will be a traction-gaining argument.
