    It seems nobody is, except Hiliar and her sycophants. At least when it comes to him sweeping her crimes under the rug.

    It is just a trick question. The correct answer is $

    No. The feeling on that side is that since there were no crimes, he stepped over the line by giving his personal opinion on the case. That's what your article says, anyway.

    It's a customized ambulance that follows her everywhere with a medical staff on board.

    But that's completely normal, nothing to see here. :dupnoevil:

    That and the "feeling" that prosecutors don't want to back him.

    Clinton's campaign appears to have, at best, withheld information from the public and — at worst — misled them by aggressively batting down "conspiracy theories" that her coughing fit was anything more than allergies. Opponents are already seeing the incident as proof of their claims that Clinton has been hiding health issues. And others may now be more incredulous of the campaign's statements on her health.

    (LOL, hiding health issues is all? We all know it's because of a YouTube video)

    If you pay a $3.5M bribe, you get to be Ambassador to the UK.

    You understand that ambassadorships have been used as rewards for political contributions forever, by both parties.
    Assuming that your claim of a quid-pro-quo here is true, this is actually a big improvement - instead of buying political advertisements, the ambassadors-to-be are making contributions to a charity.
    Not clear to me, though, that the situation is as you claim, since ambassadors are appointed by the president, not the secretary of state.

    It's OK if someone else did it?

    What horrible logic once again.

    This is what actual corruption looks like.

    I never said or implied it was ok.

    I merely pointed out that there is a long history here.

    Yes, your logic is horrible. If you want to call it logic?

    This is what someone leaping to conclusions looks like.

    The bad logic:

    Everyone does it, so the last guy who did it was in the right.

    That it has anything to do with the state department or the criminal who used to run it. Of course we can expect more of the same. And she did give jobs to foundation donors - highly questionable ones.

    That these are charitable contributions. They were donating to Obama's election campaign.

    Not sure you have a clue.

    Nobody said that other than you.

    Ah. You are right, I got that wrong. You have been on such a hillary hate fest the last few months that i just assumed that your list was clinton foundation donors.

    If it is campaign contributions, then yes, looks like business as usual. Just to be clear, since you also assume things that aren't said: that doesn't make it right. But it does make it not news.

    "Everyone does it." -- barfo

    So you repeat the business as usual.

    It's quite obviously quid pro quo. Your kind wants to raise taxes to pay for that sort of thing, and Obama's debt.

    It is a relevant fact, whether it agrees with your jihad or not.

    My kind wants to raise taxes to appoint ambassadors?

    I'll have to speak to my kind about that, it doesn't seem to make sense.
