Conway hits Clinton over ‘revolving door’ at State Department

– The Crown Prince of Bahrain, who had donated to the foundation, wanted to meet with Clinton on a visit to Washington. She will, most likely, be the next president.

The State Department has released all Clinton’s calendars and about half her detailed daily schedules as secretary of state, after The Associated Press sued for access in federal court. It’s an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.

The call from two leading USA news organizations came as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and other members of his party have taken to calling for a special prosecutor to investigate what they say is corruption.

Hillary Clinton is sidestepping new questions about almost 15,000 recently discovered emails or her family’s charitable foundation – a stay-the-course strategy sure to be tested in the sprint to Election Day.

Like the BP oil leak that kept the Gulf of Mexico slimy for months, so too does the Clinton Foundation retain its rare ability to besmirch everything it touches. They also go a long way toward confirming her critics’ allegation that the Clintons were in a global pay-for-play arrangement.

Talk radio host Audrey Russo published an article on Liberty GB’s website, where she ripped into Clinton over a list of past controversies concerning herself, her husband, and her charitable organization. But she said the story linked to the tweet was “completely rock solid”. That includes removing Chelsea Clinton from the board, which she recently said she would not do. The 85 donors collectively contributed as much as $156 million, the AP reported.

One way to understand what happened here is to ask whether the favors that Band and others requested from the Clinton State Department would have been sought – and, to the extent they were, would have been granted – even if the Clinton Foundation had never come into existence.

Clinton replied, “I am sure, and I am sure because I have a very strong foundation of understanding about the foundation”.

Clinton said Friday she would take “additional steps” to ensure there wasn’t a conflict of interest with the foundation if she is elected president.

How large? nearly half of the donors wrote checks in excess of $100,000 to the Foundation – and 20 of them forked over more than a million apiece.

More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money – either personally or through companies or groups – to the Clinton Foundation.

He also defended Hillary Clinton’s contact with donors to the foundation while serving as secretary of state, saying foundation donors like Bangladeshi economist and Nobel Peace Prize victor Muhammad Yunus have no trouble reaching officials around the world. It’s also the model every celebrity uses when they try to raise money for their pet causes, whether it’s George Clooney or Peyton Manning or even Donald Trump. The question for voters may come down to this: How much, if any, substantive harm has Clinton’s lack of absolute clarity on a given subject or event caused? Pressed again, she said, “I think it was sloppy”. In some cases it has censored names of people who met privately with Clinton or the subjects they discussed.

Chaffetz said that lawmakers have been asking for the documents since 2012 and that “most everything she’s said about this has turned out to be a lie”.

At the same time, Clinton said, “winding down some of these programs takes time” and that to do anything abrupt could imperil HIV/AIDS programs and other assistance that benefits millions of people around the world.

“So we’ve already released, I don’t know, 30,000 plus, so what’s a few more?” she flippantly told a comedy show.
