    An ex-President taking bribes from Russian oligarchs so his Sec of State wife will authorize the sale of the US uranium supply to Putin.

    It sounds like a script from 24, but it's real.

    And her party doesn't care, they will still nominate her for President.

    Wait - you staunchly support Citizens United, no? The very foundation of that ruling is that giving money to someone does not suggest or encourage corruption.

    Republican Clinton Cash Scandal Collapses Before The Book Is Even Released

    ABC News, which received an advance copy of the book, blunted called out the lack of facts, “The book offers no proof that Hillary Clinton took any direct action to benefit the groups and interests that were paying her husband.”

    The author of the book, Peter Schweizer, worked as a foreign policy adviser to Sarah Palin. He was a fellow at the Koch-funded Hoover Institute, a former speechwriting consultant for George W. Bush, and he has a history of botched hyper-partisan reporting.

    So a leftist blog is denying allegations about Hillary Clinton's clear appearance of a conflict of interest (at a minimum) and is trying to discredit those who have had the audacity to criticize her. Shocker.

    Deny, Deflect and Discredit. These are the knee-jerk responses of leftists to any criticism they receive. Clearly we see the deny and discredit tactics being used above. And a case can be made that invoking Sarah Palin, who clearly has nothing to do with this, is an attempt at deflection.

    You people are nothing if not predictable. To bad that you have undermined your credibility with the constant overuse of these tactics, and that most people do not regard responses based on these sorts of tactics by her or her supporters as particularly believable any more.

    Hillary Clinton has a credibility problem here and so do her leftist, knee-jerk supporters on this. Do yourself a favor and give it a rest for a while.

    You're embarrassing yourself. You're the one who made the allegation hoss.

    The author of the book has admitted he has no evidence.

    So you substitute actual evidence with innuendo and then cry about being discredited for not having any evidence? Mkay.

    You claim invoking your support for Sarah Palin while you claim Clinton has no qualifications is deflection? You have a credibility problem.

    Another faux scandal in the trash can. Nice job.

    I wish presidential debates were about policy rather than trying to dig up dirt. I don't like Hillary. Not because of these stupid scandals but because she is a status quo centrist who will change nothing on things such as surveillance overreach, Israel's infallibility, or the wage gap.

    Agreed

    But I'll give Hillary more of a benefit of the doubt than any of the republican clowns running for president.

    And so will America

    Well, let's have a look at her emails and see what they show.

    Oh, wait. As soon as Hillary's emails were subpoenaed, she destroyed over 30,000 of them in response and wiped her server. Or so she says.

    Really now fellas. Even Nixon didn't destroy the tapes.

    And as much as you guys and team Hillary want to make this about a "right wing conspiracy," the New York Times and the Washington Post are in on this too. So, get real fellas.

    The "phony scandal" card wasn't working before and it certainly is not working now. Not with anyone except the most die-hard hammerhead leftists, of which this forum is proportionally very well represented indeed.

    Any rational human would have a skeptical nature of any right wing collaborated scandals directed at liberal candidates after 'Kenyan, Muslim extremist' Obama scandals.

    The phony scandal card is working with everyone that requires actual evidence.

    It's like Dr. Frankenstein creating his monster and being surprised that he can't reason with it.

    This... and I dont know when they will figure it out. Every time one of their scandals fail to materialize I think they will circle the horses and come up with another strategy... but they don't.

    And the sad thing is, even if these allegations were true, its STILL better than the alternative.

    The conservatives are just plain awful.

    I don't understand why conservatives are crying so much.

    They feel it's ok for anyone to donated unlimited money to their candidates campaigns.

    But they feel it's criminal for some to donate to a charity run by an ex-president?

    Whatever. They ridiculousness of the hypocrisy is unbelievable. They are just puppets for that nutcase Glen Beck.
