    I've said this before. The Clintons are shady but Trump is in the dark. I'm willing to accept that there was and have been some sleazy deals involving the uranium contracts that said we have Trump's son's own mouth that they were willing to get politcal aid from the Russians. Influence peddling regarding a foundation for uranium is bad. Welcoming the foreign interference in our elections is worse.

    Not at all. I would say Clinton is like a the person who takes advantage of loop holes with the hard right screaming blood hell. Trump just blatantly breaks the law and gets away with it because he is not held accountable as the hard right looks the other way.

    It tells me that maybe on closer examination there is nothing of probative value outside of the Infowars crowd.

    There was no media block of the story. It was in the Washington Post.

    Why don't you start posting a bit more honestly? I mean just lying and making up things makes you sound like a looney tune.

    Everybody calm down, the Clintons will be giving 10% of that money to charity for a tax writeoff like they always do unless that money has already been spent.

    Did you read the story? The Clintons got no money from the deal. The money went to the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton Foundation gives zero dollars to Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea.

    He is too stupid to understand how charities work because he is used to Trump style charities which are a sham. But Republicans are allowed to have sham charities, Dems are not allowed to have legitimate ones.

    Who is the gullible one? The ones that can actually follow the money trail or the one that believes what the media tells him without any evidence about who was getting money?

    LOL

    Person A: AHA! Here is the proof of a conspiracy! They wrote it all out in paper and said "just follow the money!" Now you know it's real!
    Person B: I looked into the proof and followed the money exactly where it went. It didn't go where they said it did. Turns out the story was false.
    Person A: You are sooooooo gullible.

    The Clintons don't directly profit from the Clinton Foundation and CGI. Also by law money to those can't be used for political campaign. When you compare what the Clinton Foundation has done compared to the Trump Foundation there is little comparison. If the Clintons are shady Trump is in the dark.

    That said I do believe donations to the Clinton Foundation and CGI have some benefit to the Clintons. At the minimum it stokes their egos and raises their own prestige when they get big donations. Donations to the Clinton Foundations have never been proven and doubtful can ever be proven as a quid pro-quo but they certainly are moves to curry favor with the Clintons.

    If you believe the Clinton Foundations have no benefit or nothing to do with BC and HRC then I assume you also believe that Trump Org management has been transitioned entirely to Trump's sons and management team which means Donald Trump no longer has anything to do with Trump Org.

    Finally, if you believe one or both of those things you are a moron.
