Does the Clinton Foundation Government Pay-to-Play scandal concern you?

LTC Private RallyPoint Member — Wed, 24 Aug 2016 06:42:21 -0400

It concerns me. Giving special access to our government, to stars, athletes and governments for donations if Chicago style gangster ilk. If she is willing to do that for government access, what was to stop her from using our military as pay to play? Might it have already happened?

Yes. But the issue isn't how I feel but how all of her supporters don't see it.

Yes, she scares me to death including having slick Bill back in the White House. It's disgraceful how she has been given a pass when it comes to many subjects.

The AP broke the story regarding how about 1/2 of the non government people HRC met with gave to the foundation. It will take a compete suspension of reason, intellect, reality etc to think that there was not a quid pro quo going on there. Can you prove it in court? I don' t know. The Clinton's have perfected the art of violating the law without getting convicted.

Some seem not to care that she and her hubby have been using the government to enrich themselves and their "charity". Charity hardly applies here based upon the admin expense levels etc. This is what happens when the masses do not care and want more bread and circus and care not a whip that they are being taken advantage of by their elected officials.

It seems criminal to me but isn't that how Washington works? Give political appointments to donors, sell influence to special interest groups, let lobbyists determine votes. The entire system is corrupt if you ask me.

Unless you've had your head in the sand for the last 100 or so years, this is how government works for both, or any of, the parties. There are so many government appointees out there that you couldn't begin to count them all. This is true at the Federal level of government, but probably even more rampant at the State and Local government levels. While there may be a bit of experience associated with who is chosen to fill them take a long hard look at how many appointees have been donors to the individual or party. It's how the system works!

Anything concerning the Clintons getting back to the White House concerns me, they having been doing these type of things since he was governor.

Absolutely, it shows a propensity by Clinton and/or those closest to her to accept money from those that may be diametrically opposed to the best interest of our nation in exchange for good "favor" on her behalf.

I would like to see a complete accounting for the foundation. Is it really a true charity? I am not saying it isn't just asking.

LTC Private RallyPoint Member, everything the Clintons do concerns me, but apparently there are many that are not bothered in the least.

It seriously concerns me as I think that one of its principal co-conspirators could very likely become our next president. Worse still, is that half the citizens of this country could not care less, and will vote for her.

With three+ hours into the discussion, I don't see the usual suspects here defending her. By the way, wasn't rod blagojevich indicted and convicted in a pay-to-play crime with regards to bo's senate seat?

Here's what BOTHERS me... If ANYONE in this thread or on RallyPoint would have accepted 'donations' (I believe the DOD limit to service members of LESS than $20 or $50 in one year) in the amount that she accepted, we would have to either return it, or if we kept it, be prosecuted.

For the life of me, I do not understand how she can get away with so much and still be in the running for the President of the United States. Just this morning I read an article where a military service member is going to prison for lesser infractions of mishandling sensitive material.

Here is the link to the story: http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/16/politics/navy-sailor-clinton-email-defense/

Feds torpedo Navy sailor's 'Clinton defense'

A Navy sailor facing prison time for taking photos of a classified area on a US nuclear attack submarine is asking a federal judge for leniency, citing the government's decision not to indict Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information.

This bothers me, but it's certainly not unique to her. This happens across both major parties, and it happens within many levels of government (Federal, State, local, etc.). Try to get a meeting with any influential politician, Democrat or Republican. You'll get pushed to a staffer. Then, donate a million dollars to their campaign and try to get a meeting. See if it makes a difference.

Giving money to a campaign, a PAC, a foundation, etc., are all one in the same. It's all about cash flows and access...and everyone does it.

All of Clinton's supporters can go pound sand as far as I'm concerned. Not sorry for posting it either. Never cared for her.

What concerns me is that the Obama Administration has given her a free pass on it. The FBI and the Justice department wont investigate so she will get away with it. I am not sheep I know there are people on the right that do this kind of crap but when found out they are prosecuted for it. Corruption happens in the dark but that doesn't mean turn the lights out and pretend it didn't happen.
