cut and pasted and painted over and embroidered this story.

Hillary's meetings with the leaders of top corporations combined with the donations to the Clinton Foundation, the payments for speeches by Bill Clinton and then the campaign donations??????

If Hillary were a Republican candidate, the Hillary fans would be the first to say this was socialism for the corporations, otherwise known as Fascism or corruption.

Hillary fans: Open your eyes. Look at Hillary like as though she were any other candidate. What you would see is CORRUPTION or the stench and appearance thereof.

Why choose a candidate who is going to face a barrage of criticism and innuendo because of the potential corruption charges (hopefully, just in a potential preidential campaign not in a court) to which she has exposed herself?

It is crazy to support Hillary after these facts have come to light. The Republicans will, and appropriately so, have a hey-day with them.

Hey. They successfully made Jimmy Carter look like a loser. They impeached Bill Clinton. They slander Obama whose administration is as clean as any in the last couple of centuries constantly. What will they do to Hillary?

Don't vote for Hillary, at least not in the primary.

Votes for Hillary in the primary are wasted votes. She is not going to be able to explain this even if she did nothing wrong. It's just going to be devastating for her.

I'm sorry but she should have known better. Either you have a foundation and your husband accepts speaking fees from big corporations OR you run for president. You can't have it all, and Hillary is trying to have it all. That will not work.

Will Sanders open up all of his finances to be investigated? Yes, we need to follow the money. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #5
Good luck tracking the 1million+ small donations he's received since the campaign began HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #6
Sanders, do my bidding! You owe me! klook Nov 2015 #55
Maybe there are those who thinks Hillart is worth $250,000 and some who think Sanders is worth $30 Thinkingabout Dec 2015 #56
Sanders money would take 1 day to investigate, Hillary. couple of years. bahrbearian Nov 2015 #7
A potential presidential run does not preclude her from doing her job as SOS. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #8

I'm guessing Condi did not meet with anyone about child labor. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #13
That's the best thing to come out of this article. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #17
Yep, followed by the next paragraph... HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #10
A wordy way of repeating the headline. Again, no substance. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #12
Evidence is circumstantial, sure HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #14
A LOT of people have donated or endorsed Hillary. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #16
The problem is who is donating and how much HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #18

Everyone has an agenda. Hillary could not refuse to talk to all corporations. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #22
Sure, but she could have refused their money HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #23
None of them gave HER money when she was SoS. nt SunSeeker Nov 2015 #24
They sure did when she was out of office. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #26
Donations to her campaign made when she was not SoS are perfectly legal. SunSeeker Nov 2015 #30
I said nothing of legality. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #35
A lot of them had her husband speak at their companies for money and/or donate $ to CF. askew Nov 2015 #31
