‘I Mean, I Would Crucify Her’

Loading

David French:

I can’t believe I’m typing these words, but the Washington Post has actually published a searing indictment of Hillary’s treatment of Bill Clinton’s mistresses. In a lengthy piece, it takes a look at Hillary’s responses to Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, and others. Some of the anecdotes are revealing – including this blast-from-the-past regarding Flowers:

“I think, by then [Bill’s presidential run], Hillary had a very good notion of Bill’s behavior,” said her longtime friend Nancy Pietrafesa. “Maybe she endured it, but I don’t think she condoned it.”

Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton dismissed an accusation made by Gennifer Flowers, the singer who sold her story to a supermarket tabloid after having previously denied an affair. In an ABC News interview, she called Flowers “some failed cabaret singer who doesn’t even have much of a résumé to fall back on.” She told Esquire magazine in 1992 that if she had the chance to cross-examine Flowers, “I mean, I would crucify her.”

Hillary’s remarks were not second-hand quotes from friends but rather quotes from actual news interviews. She was publicly vicious in her attacks against a woman who – it turns out – was telling the truth about an affair with her husband. And she was this vicious after she knew that Bill had been unfaithful in the past.

Then there’s this vignette, which reveals much about both Hillary and Bill:

The Washington Compost is just another libneral rag lying to their readers 24/7 no wonder the publics trust in the main-stream news media is at a all time low of 32%

Do Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones bear no responsibility for their own contributions to adulterous affairs that put the innocent wife whose marriage they violated through hell? If you don’t think those two are sexual predators, maybe you need to stop and tally up the total monetary profits they reaped from their “wronged woman” status, both from the shakedown of Bill Clinton, and from the books and tabloid interviews they sold.

Hillary Clinton was angry as hell at them. What would you expect? No reaction at all? They did her serious damage, and then they turned around and profited from it. When have they ever taken their share of the responsibility for the harm that was done?

Isn’t it odd though, how poor Bill suffered through such a long procession of these “sexual predators”, Greg?

@Highsider, #3:

Bill Clinton has a character flaw, or weakness, that seems to be relatively common among highly successful, over-achieving males. Some women are drawn to power and success. That would include a subset who are by nature amoral and exploitative.

Many past presidents have demonstrated the same weakness. Donald Trump certainly has a history, so I suppose he might have at least that one presidential qualification.

@Highsider: You do have to give Greg credit for finding the most humorous excuses for the failures of his liberal heroes!

In all that you will read about deviants, sexual predators, and serial rapists, they are never described as having a weakness or character flaw. That’s rich beyond measure. If it was true, all those rapists in prison could demand new trials and insist on being judged under the Clinton judiciary.

When was Clinton ever found guilty rape—or even charged, for that matter? I must have missed the news that day.

That said, there’s little question that he has a history as a compulsive womanizer and an adulterer. While there might be nothing illegal about any of it, to my mind it’s a significant character flaw.

Donald Trump has a similar well-documented history—possibly one that’s far more extensive. That’s why I’m thinking any attack on Hillary Clinton based on Bill Clinton’s behavior is likely to blow up in his face. It’s not Hillary who was guilty. She was the wife who was wronged, and kept her marriage together despite the crap he put her through.

If Trump thinks women can’t identify with that, he’s even more clueless than I give him credit for. If he wants to lose the vote of every undecided woman in America who has ever had an unfaithful husband, all he has to do is go there. Hillary is smart enough to use it to tear him to ribbons.

Now we are to think that it is the fault of the women BJ abused for their actions. This is a sad commentary of how a dysfunctional society rationalizes sexual deviant behavior. BJ clinton is a serial sexual predator, and a rapist, no dispute there.

To find blame with any of the women he abused is like defending the bank robber who robbed the bank because there was money in there. It is beyond pathetic…..

@July 4th American, #8:

BJ clinton is a serial sexual predator, and a rapist, no dispute there.

Oh yeah, there’s a dispute alright. As in, that statement is complete bullshit..

Women are not helpless little airheads, totally at the mercy of male impulses. Except in cases of actual rape or mental incompetence, they’re as much responsible for their own sexual decisions and personal conduct as males—a position which you would instantly take and forcefully advocate, if the subject under discussion were abortion rights rather than Bill Clinton.

As with Trump, there’s no consistency of position regarding core beliefs and principles. The underlying assumptions can be reversed 180 degrees, as the topic and occasion demand.

@Greg: Don’t be such a democrat. Greg. (and by that I mean ridiculous) If most Republican, Democrat or Independent husband makes gets caught getting BJs at work, he knows his wife will be seeing a lawyer, not covering up for him and trying to silence the BJer. Maybe it’s different tho if the both the BJee and his wife are lawyers (no matter how disbarred they may be). Trying to excuse the actions of both is a sign of problems in discerning logic.

@Greg: Sorry Greg I cant identify with Hillary staying with Bill. I find it spineless, Staying in an abusive loveless marriage for the name and power. She would never be anything without Bill, she is desperate to find a key position in her administration for him, I hope with a private secret back entry. She will as always cover for him viciously attack accusers who she knows are telling the truth.
Women are not helpless little airheads, totally at the mercy of male impulses except Hillary. She isn’t strong enough or smart enough to run this country.

@Greg:

Sorry, no dispute about bj being as serial rapist. The troopers who provided security while he was gubenor have numerous stories of his dalliances, like the time he raped a teacher who taught at web Hubbell’s daughter’s school. Raped her in the back seat next to some dumpsters in the school parking lot. Go ahead and use algores amazing internet.

Sorry, no dispute about bj being as serial rapist.

There’s no dispute that you folks haven’t got a clue about the difference between reality television, tabloid news stories, and actual reality.

@Greg: Like you have documented all the airheaded opinions you’ve flopped out here Greg?

@Greg: BJ clinton is a serial sexual predator, and a rapist, no dispute there.
Oh yeah, there’s a dispute alright. As in, that statement is complete bullshit..

I have to laugh.
It all depends on what the meaning of “is,” is.

Looking at Bill Clinton nowadays and you’d have to say his philandering days are behind him.

So, Bill Clinton’s past sexual indiscretions are a reflection on his wife’s character, while Donald Trump gets a pass for his own documented adulterous relationships—not to mention sexual assault and rape law suits?

It’s another interesting example of the right’s double standard.

Proud Adulterer Blames Woman For Not Stopping Husband’s Adultery

@Greg: No Greg, Hillary Clinton’s actions relating to her husband’s past sexual indiscretions are what brings condemnation to her character. You’re having a lot of trouble with this, aren’t you? As for trump’s “documented” adulterous relationships, the only “documentation” I see here is your opinion on my screen. As for the lawsuits regarding rape and sexual assault, every man with money has them filed against him by unscrupulous people hoping to win at the civil lawsuit roulette wheel. Bring it up when he loses a case. You pretend to cite some documentation for your pipe dreams, but all I see there are other peoples opinions that you apparently regard as documentation.
Uninteresting

Trump’s stream of stupefying statements leave public numb

So says George F. Will, an actual conservative, who knows a snake oil salesman when he sees one and recognizes a line of complete and total bullshit when he hears one. Consider this exchange:

When host George Stephanopoulos asked, “Why did you soften the GOP platform on Ukraine?” — removing the call for providing lethal weapons for Ukraine to defend itself — Trump said: “Putin’s not going into Ukraine, OK? Just so you understand. He’s not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down and you can put it down, you can take it anywhere you want.”

Stephanopoulos: “Well, he’s already there, isn’t he?”

Trump: “OK, well, he’s there in a certain way, but I’m not there yet. You have President Obama there. And frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under Obama, with all the strength that you’re talking about and all of the power of NATO and all of this, in the meantime, he’s going where — he takes — takes Crimea, he’s sort of — I mean … ”

This is gibberish. The man is clueless. Put him in the Oval Office, and national disaster will follow. How can anyone not understand this? All you have to do is listen to him to realize he doesn’t have a frickin’ clue. It’s not just a matter of disagreeing with his political views—whatever the hell they turn out to be, once they’re finally revealed. It’s that he’s clearly not competent to do the job. He doesn’t know what the job is. He doesn’t know what the issues are. He doesn’t know what’s going on in the world.

The insanity that was the Obama administration continues with mrs clinton.

It is a two horse race and you are going to the betting window with your last ten dollars to bet. The race program has the stats on the two horses:

One horse has been running races for 30 years with no significant wins to show, in some cases some very disastrous results.

A pre race stable visit shows a horse coughing, stumbling, leaning against the wall and falling down in the stable. BTW, the horses poop is a pile of runny goo laden with parasites and bacteria…..

The other horse has won over and over in races dissimilar in nature from the other horse. A pre race stable visit shows a horse standing tall, its coat well groomed, and proudly occupying the stable.

And the horses poop is a fine pile of well-formed fecal balls with noticeable stems but no real “chunks” of food, fairly uniform color, little odor (compared to carnivores such as cats or dogs), and no mucus covering.

I know where I would put my last ten dollars, it is not the first horse I can assure you….

Update; this just in:

Complete Headline: Can’t shake the cough! Hillary Clinton chokes up at rally and pops a cough drop just minutes before she’s helped down a set of stairs by an aide as health woes continue to plague her Clinton made it through 95 minutes of debate on Monday night without her notorious cough showing up But in a brief discussion with reporters on her campaign plane on Tuesday morning she was coughing again Friday she couldn’t stop coughing and clearing her throat as she neared the end of her remarks at a Florida event and popped a cough drop.

@July 4th American, #19:

How does that address the fact that your candidate responds to intelligent questions regarding issues of vital national importance with total gibberish?

The man can’t string three consecutive sentences together into a coherent, substantive response concerning anything. He lacks the information and insight to do so. His babbling is a direct reflection of what’s going on inside his head. And this is in the context of nothing more consequential or demanding than a television interview. How do you think he would function under the pressure of a sudden international crisis, involving complex kinetic situations he’s clueless about, and momentous existential decisions that must be made over the course of a few minutes?

Trump is far worse than either of the two horses in your hypothetical two-horse race have ever been. That being the case, he can’t be viewed as a solution to anything. The man as a presidential candidate is a national catastrophe waiting to happen, with the possibility of going global.

Hillary Clinton prides herself on the false notion that she is a woman “for the people.” When it really comes down to it she only cares about the people that she gains to benefit from. There was a lot of talk during the debate about whether or not each candidate behaved in a ‘presidential’ manner or not. Well this little flashback to an incident with the secret service gives a little foresight into how ‘presidential’ Hillary might be if she were elected president.

In 2014 there was a book published, written by FBI agent Gary Aldridge, called “Unlimited Access” that detailed his experiences while in the bureau. Aldridge explained the multiple experiences that he had good and bad, and some of the less desirable ones came as a result of being with the first family during the 1990’s.

The not so ‘presidential’ presidential candidate Hillary Clinton definitely made an impact in these experiences, it’s not the type that she would like to get out to the public.

U.K. Daily mail reports that Hillary was a monster to work with and incredibly rude to just about every person she came into contact with. She was nasty to her secret service agents and the rest of the White House staff.

The lazy presidential hopeful tried to force a secret service agent to carry her luggage at one point, which was in no way part of his duties. When he politely declined, Hillary couldn’t take it. She exploded in a fit of rage.

“Stay the f*** away from me! Just f***ing do as I say!” Clinton reportedly screamed at the secret service agent.

If she wont even treat the people that would jump in front of a bullet for her with respect then how do you think she is going to treat the rest of the American population, especially those that oppose her or stand in her way? That’s not the type of ‘presidential’ behavior that the American people want to see from their president and that’s exactly what were going to get if Hilary is elected.

You seem to be attempting to divert attention from the fact that your presidential candidate is so clueless and erratic he would represent a threat to the safety and security of every man, woman, and child in the nation.

The method whereby I discovered this shocking truth was very simple: I listened closely to what he was saying. As often as not, what he was saying made no sense whatsoever.

Hilllary Clinton suggested at a private fundraiser in February that young people supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., because they are political neophytes who still live with their parents, according to new audio released this week.

“Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement. They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future,” the now-Democratic nominee said.

@Greg: Democrats are the ones that threaten my safety and security, Clinton voted for war, Clintons policies have the ME in turmoil, she is very Hawkish has been since the senate. But what she isnt is a feminist she is a squishy lying coward.
This is feminism http://heatst.com/world/us-chess-champion-id-rather-sacrifice-my-career-than-be-forced-to-wear-a-hijab/ not taking millions from those that would put rags on all of our heads or have us killed for our own form of religion.

Trump is feeding lunacy to his supporters like somebody throwing breadcrumbs to pigeons. What the guy is saying doesn’t even make sense. Apparently it doesn’t have to. Making sense is not part of his pitch.

If she gets the chance, she will put the Oval Office up for sale, like she always does.

She will put the Oval Office up for sale, like she always does? What the hell does that even mean?

Remember folks, she’s been doing this for 30 years.

She hasn’t even held public offices for 30 years. She was a Senator for 8 years and secretary of state for 4, during which time she didn’t sell a single damn thing—except, of course, in your delusional alternate reality. Were you all dropped on your heads shortly after birth?

Mr. President, will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators for their many crimes against our country, and against society itself?

Say what? After years of accusations and years of repeated investigations by her political enemies, Hillary Clinton has never even been charged with a single, solitary thing. Decades of investigation coming up negative are about as thorough a vetting as any candidate for the presidency has ever undergone.

Trump, meanwhile, has been vetted with regarding to absolutely nothing, despite the fact that more warning lights are blinking and buzzers are sounding than went off in the Three Mile Island control room.

It’s unbelievable. You’ve completely lost your minds. There will be no pardon if you put this lunatic in the Oval Office. There will only be consequences, and those could be disastrous. You might as well give a 6-year-old a loaded revolver, and send him out to play. If you do, it’s a fair bet change will come, but it’s not likely to be what you were hoping for.

Donald Trump Demands President Obama Not Pardon Hillary Clinton

Trump supporters defend the GOP nominee as a ‘genius’ with taxes

Donald Trump’s campaign, reeling Sunday after a report that the business mogul may not have paid taxes for as many as 18 years after declaring a $916 million loss on his 1995 returns, mounted a vigorous defense by calling the revelation proof of the Republican presidential nominee’s “genius.”

Yep. Pure genius. His business disasters rack up nearly a billion dollars in losses over a year—surely irrefutable evidence that he’s a business genius—and then he recovers every nickel by paying no federal taxes for nearly 2 decades—which must make him a genius in the art of tax dodging.

The Sunday talk shows have been a veritable parade of weaselly republican apologists, explaining to the public why this is evidence that the guy is ideally suited to take charge of the U.S. economy and reform the tax code. Apparently this sort of behavior exemplifies everything they admire most in a business owner and a leader.

They’re also whining about the illegality of someone leaking a Trump tax document to the New York Times. No doubt it would have been perfectly OK had it been stolen by Russian hackers and published by Wikileaks.

The most shocking part of Donald Trump’s tax records isn’t the $916 million loss everyone’s talking about

Of course it should be no surprise to anyone that Trump routinely fails to pay what’s due.

USA TODAY exclusive: Hundreds allege Donald Trump doesn’t pay his bills

@Greg:

Did the Obama IRS leak these documents too?

The corrupt Clinton supporting New York Times released an article today on Donald Trump’s taxes. The article reads:

The New York Times obtained three pages of Mr. Trump’s 1995 tax returns, for filings in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, marking the first time any of his actual tax returns have been publicly revealed. They showed more than $900 million in losses that could have allowed him to avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years.

This is just another illegal act by the Clintons and Clinton cronies.

First of all, if the tax returns provided to the NYT were legit, it would be illegal for someone other than Mr. Trump or his designates to provide to anyone his tax returns or those of his companies without his permission.

Whoever provided these documents to the NYT may have committed a crime unless Mr. Trump gave them the authority to release his returns.

For the NYT to publish this information is also unethical if not criminal.

The NYT reported this past week that they support Hillary for President. For the NYT to report Trump’s tax information without his consent, is both unethical and most likely criminal.

This is not the first time that Democrats have accused Republicans of not paying their fair share in taxes. In the 1930’s, FDR started a campaign against prominent Republicans like du Pont, Merrill, Lynch, Westinghouse and others. FDR of course was a hypocrite who incurred the same tax loopholes in his returns that he accused others of incurring.

US Tax Law permits taxpayers to avoid taxes within the parameters of the law. If it is true that Mr. Trump offset future profits with past tax loss carryforwards, he is smart in doing so and well within the parameters of the law.

Mr. Trump has every right to claim tax loss liabilities, if legit and is smart to do so.
He would be a fool if he did not claim these liabilities. And Donald Trump is no fool.

Ultimately it is simply incredible for Liberal Democrats and their phony cronies to compare the alleged legal act of Mr. Trump in “legally” not paying taxes on profits due to past tax loss carry forwards and yet commit a crime by reporting on Trump’s taxes without his consent and then give the Clintons a pass on their criminal activities surrounding Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Impeachment, Disbarment, Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation and Hillary’s illegal server and email activities, etc.

—-The author of this post has a CPA and attends Board and Audit Committee meetings for profit and non-profit entities in the US, Bermuda, Australia, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, Singapore and the UK. Tax loss carryforwards have been discussed at some of these meetings and they are common legal tax offsets.

@July 4th American, #29:

This is just another illegal act by the Clintons and Clinton cronies.

Hey, it was probably Putin’s hackers, whose illegal disclosures Trump supporters seem to be totally OK with.

If a majority of voters aren’t smart enough to figure out that Donald Trump is a con man, a liar, a deadbeat, and a cheat, there’s probably no hope for the country anyway.

Last year, the Clintons earned $10.6 million and paid $3.6 million in federal taxes, for a tax rate of 34.2%, according to the family’s recently released 2015 tax return. That’s close to the top income-tax rate for America’s richest citizens, which is 39.6%.

That’s known to most honest, responsible American taxpayers as “paying your fair share,” not as “stupidity.” I’m guessing if the Clintons had paid no federal taxes, nobody on the right would be praising them for it, or calling them geniuses.

@Greg: They dont show selling guns to ISIS, they dont show Obama emailing to an illegal server he says he had no knowledge of, you worry more of the tattle tales than the content, punish the whistle blowers not the crime has been this administrations greatest accomplishments. What ever happened to Guccifer a 52 month prison sentence.

There are few things sadder than people who want to be lied to. They’ll never figure out what’s true because they don’t really want to.

Clinton Charities Ignored Law Requiring Them To Disclose Millions From Foreign Donors

So failed to properly declare donations. Why? So you wouldn’t know the influence of the foreign donations and the pay for play schemes. And they were not prosecuted for this because the person in charge of making that decision is on the Hillary for Victory committee.

But let’s talk about Trump legally carrying forward a capital loss…

Via Newsnet:

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has the power to force the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Health Access Initiative to publicly disclose the names of foreign governments and the millions they donate each year to the charities but he’s not doing it, a Scripps News investigation has found.

Schneiderman’s failure to require compliance with New York law and written instructions from his own office keeps the public in the dark about whether the foreign governments that gave money to the Clinton charities also had special access to Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state, experts in private foundation law say. New York state has long required more transparency from non-profits operating within its borders than many other regulators.

A Scripps Washington Bureau review of tax returns and regulatory filings found that year after year the Clinton charities have ignored New York law and related instructions. However, the office of Attorney General Schneiderman, a Democrat whom Hillary Clinton named to her campaign’s “leadership council” in New York, did not respond to Scripps’ questions about the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), which has never publicly disclosed in New York filings the identity of its foreign government contributors or the amounts they give each year. Scripps also discovered CHAI did not report hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign government donations to the state.

However, Schneiderman’s office said it considers the Clinton Foundation, which is a separate charity, “in step” with state rules.

“He’s not doing his job in that case,” said David Nelson, an attorney and former partner at the accounting firm of Ernst & Young who served on the regulations and legislation committee of the Council On Foundations, the philanthropy industry’s equivalent of the American Bar Association.

Hillary Supporter + Former Chief Of AP: Breaking Law To Get Trump’s Taxes ‘Right Thing To Do’

This is present-day MSM. Nothing like the law applies to all, for the protection of all, whether we like them or not. No, they think if the law gets in their way, hang the law.

The First Amendment, to which Mr. Fournier refers, is there to protect unpopular, even ugly or hateful speech. Just so, privacy laws protecting against revelation of an individual’s tax returns are there whether we like the person or not, whether we agree with what he says or not.

Flashback: State Department ‘Misplaced’ $6 Billion, Mostly When Under Supervision Of Hillary Clinton…

This isn’t a legal deduction taken for changes in adjusted basis of real estate, according to IRS rules. This is an actual real loss, a real incompetence or theft. Where is the NY Times in investigating this?

Via Free Beacon:

The State Department misplaced and lost some $6 billion due to the improper filing of contracts during the past six years, mainly during the tenure of former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, according to a newly released Inspector General report.

The $6 billion in unaccounted funds poses a “significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” according to the report.

The alert, originally sent on March 20 and just released this week, warns that the missing contracting funds “could expose the department to substantial financial losses.”

The report centered on State Department contracts worth “more than $6 billion in which contract files were incomplete or could not be located at all,” according to the alert.

Hypocrisy: The New York Times Paid No Taxes in 2014

More MSM hypocrisy. The NYT pushes socialism, rails against capitalism and attacks Trump, yet they are in business to make a profit and will use the provisions of the tax code to avoid taxes… just like Trump and and any other knowledgeable capitalist.

Via Breitbart:

The New York Times has excited the Clinton campaign and the rest of the media with a revelation that Republican nominee Donald Trump declared a $916 million loss in 1995 that might have resulted in him not paying taxes in some subsequent years.

The implication, reinforced by CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union on Sunday morning, is that Trump “avoided” paying taxes, when in fact his tax liability was zero.

But the Times itself has “avoided” paying taxes — in 2014, for example.

As Forbes noted at the time:… “for tax year 2014, The New York Times paid no taxes and got an income tax refund of $3.5 million even though they had a pre-tax profit of $29.9 million in 2014. In other words, their post-tax profit was higher than their pre-tax profit. The explanation in their 2014 annual report is, “The effective tax rate for 2014 was favorably affected by approximately $21.1 million for the reversal of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations.” If you don’t think it took fancy accountants and tax lawyers to make that happen, read the statement again.”

New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended Trump on Sunday, telling NBC News’ Meet the Press that Trump was a “genius” in business who was simply doing what the tax code allows every American to do by counting losses against tax liabilities, and bouncing back from failure to success.

That would include the New York Times — which, however, is still struggling.

As Jazz Shaw of HotAir.com notes, the Times — or whoever was its source — likely obtained Trump’s tax document illegally.

New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended Trump on Sunday, telling NBC News’ Meet the Press that Trump was a “genius” in business who was simply doing what the tax code allows every American to do by counting losses against tax liabilities, and bouncing back from failure to success.

A “genius in business” doesn’t lose nearly a billion dollars from a series of bad business decisions to begin with.

Trump’s “genius” involves laying his failures off on others, stiffing people who expected to be paid for the services they rendered as was agreed, and dodging taxes on untold millions, when people like you or I are obliged to pay them on everything we earn, from the moment we start working until the moment we get hauled off to the graveyard.

I know for a fact that the Clintons pay their taxes, that they have every year, and that they pay them at a rate near the top end of the schedule. I also know what their Foundation does, because the tax records are also available for public inspection, years into the past.

Trump won’t even show you his records. Why do you suppose that is?

What would you say if somebody wanted you to invest your savings in a company, but wouldn’t allow you to see any of the financial records having to do with it, and got angry when someone pointed out that it would be crazy to hand over money without knowing what they’re actually investing in?

@Greg: You are correct a genius does not lose nearly a billion, so what does that make Hillary with 6 Billion lost in her tenure as SoS? Remember the 2 dollars in tax deductions for donating her used underwear to charity, seems she also doesnt want to over pay the IRS. But ewwwww donating old used bloomers, just nasty.

@kitt, #38:

Clinton did not lose $6 billion. The Inspector General report in question stated that there had been inadequate record keeping in connection with State Department contracts, the total of those contractual agreements being $6 billion.

The Inspector General, Steve Linick, actually wrote a letter which was published in the Washington Post pointing out that he had never stated or even implied that $6 billion was missing—which, of course, none of the bullshit media outlets that published the false claim ever bothered to publish.

Once such a story hits the right wing echo chamber it becomes a permanent feature. It doesn’t matter how many times it’s demonstrated to be false. It doesn’t even matter if the supposed original source points out that the story is false, as is the case here.

@Greg: Greg writes “I know for a fact that the Clintons pay their taxes, that they have every year, and that they pay them at a rate near the top end of the schedule. I also know what their Foundation does, because the tax records are also available for public inspection, years into the past.”

You don’t know many facts at all. Greg, Since the fact is that Bill and Hillary Clinton used this very same provision in the Tax rules and regulations to pay no taxes for last year, 2015. Look before you leap, Greg.

@Highsider, #40:

That’s a ridiculous misdirection. It’s like saying what Trump and the Clinton’s did is the same, owing to the fact that they filled out some of the same tax schedules. What matters is the result.

If you look at Line 63 of the Clintons’ personal tax return, you will discover that they actually paid $3,624,455 in federal taxes for 2015. That’s at or near the top rate on the schedule.

They didn’t use the provision as a legal evasion of all federal taxes. Hillary Clinton isn’t holding out successful income tax evasion as evidence of a claim she knows how to fix the tax system and quickly sort out the nation’s economic problems.

@Greg: It isnt false, with record keeping like practiced at the state department under Hillary if it were a bank someone would be going to prison. So poorly run. And so many of these contracts were given to Hillarys cronies. Have these piss poor practices been corrected under Kerry? no he is funneling money into a relatives non profit as well. The state dept,IRS, FBI and DOJ are so polluted by these criminals,who would know where to start cleaning?
Would a federal banking inspector allow that type of record keeping for a bank? Would the IRS not look into 6 billion improperly accounted for from a business? She herself wrote a multi million dollar check and marked it services rendered, what services were rendered , her petty cash box was really huge.

Kindly refresh my memory. How outraged was the right about Mr. Cheney and the Halliburton contracts? Or the $12 billion in cash that was sent to Iraq that promptly vanished into the woodwork?

By comparison, the Obama administration has been running a very tight ship. The IG essentially concluded that their bookkeeping could be a lot better. Billions have not actually vanished under mysterious circumstances from the Clinton State Department, except in the right’s imagination.

@Greg:#9

Bill Clinton’s past infidelities are well documented, almost to a fault for anyone with a sensitive stomach, and now a story out of Arkansas will leave you scratching your head.

clinton
Another story of Bill Clinton’s promiscuity could come back to bite Hillary before November.

What began as a strange, tabloid-esque story years ago has now morphed into one of the more bizarre pieces of the election puzzle in 2016, as a young man in Arkansas who had previously claimed to be the illegitimate son of Bill Clinton, has grown to an age where he very much resembles the former president.

“Bill Clinton reportedly had an affair with a prostitute in Little Rock, Arkansas. Her name is Bobbie Ann Williams, and she – along with her family – have passed multiple lie-dictator tests when asked if Clinton is the father of her illegitimate son Danny.

“Buddy Young, a former Arkansas State Trooper, has admitted that in 1983, he drove Clinton and Bobbie to her mother’s home near Hot Springs for an extended, intimate visit while the mother was out-of-town. Both were paid $400 each, plus a $50 tip.

“What makes the story so compelling is, Danny also looks like Bill!”

Of course, Bill Clinton’s well documented promiscuity lends quite a bit of credibility to Danny’s claims, as well as there being several eyewitnesses to the original encounter. DNA testing is ongoing and could be completed before the election on November 8th, once again changing the political landscape of the nation before we elect our next president.

@Greg: Highly outraged at pallets of cash delivered to the sand fleas. Its jaw dropping stupid, obviously a payoff that may have worked until Obama took over not being able to negotiate or strong arm as well as Bush used a previous timeline to pull out. I wont make excuses for the Bushs, pissing away treasure is pissing away treasure, that and the old boy says voting Hillary,. time for the home.
@July 4th American: Bill is infertile the accuser being a prostitute should test most of Arkansas and move out of the spotlight. He looks like Bill like Chelsea does, uhhh not so much. There would be hundreds of Wee Willies or lil Wilmas if he had swimmers. I aint buying the hookers claim.

@kitt: I gotta laugh—The more Trumpeteers talk about Clinton hookers and the like the lower Trump will fall.
Trump has a chance to go to high ground in 2nd debate–will he?? If not he’s toast.
He needs 60% of white female vote—they don’t want to here about infidelities of her husband.They are concerned about jobs for their family, child care and security.
At this point he should let Ivanka take a leading role if he hopes to have
ANY chance

@Richard Wheeler: I agree, you want a womans vote make her feel all safe and warm and fuzzy add cup of cocoa, Don is too easily distracted by garbage can he stay focused to protect us. Clinton too easily lets insults roll off her tongue about the American people, she really thinks she is way way to far above everyone else to worry about my house, she has her bunker, and armed guards my grandkids will be fodder. If democrats made us feel secure why record sales on guns, and prepping shows so popular,hell they have ads telling you to be prepared have a plan, what more do you need to see they are heading underground hope ya live to vote them back in. The prez had a great response to the latest flooding ….FORE! Trump showed up , Crickets from Hillary .

@Greg: The “result” Greg, is that in both cases, business people made the right choices in accordance with our tax code as any business person would……except possibly you. The Tax code lays out what is legal and what is not, as much as your leftern politics wish it were you instead. If The Donald had taken any other course he would be sued by the shareholders, as you well know. Your assertion that the Clintons didn’t claim a loss last year is hogwash.

@Highsider, @48:

Your assertion that the Clintons didn’t claim a loss last year is hogwash.

They DID NOT claim a loss last year. That’s a fact and the proof is there for all to see. Unlike Mr. Trump, their tax returns have been made public every year and for many years into the past. That includes 2015. The two pages at the top are the front and back of IRS Form 1040, which I assume most of us who have paid taxes for decades are very familiar with. Item 43 is their taxable income: $8,352,507. That’s not a loss. Item 63 is their federal tax for the year: $3,624,455. That’s what they paid for the year.

Those are the facts concerning the Clintons, supported by the documents themselves. Similar documentation is available on the Clinton Foundation, also going years into the past.

Trump isn’t telling you squat, and he isn’t showing you a d-mn thing. You would think people could figure out who’s hiding something from them and who isn’t, given such obvious clues. Apparently many can’t. This is why fraudulent financial schemes and con games continue to flourish. Half of the population seems to genuinely believe reality TV is reality.

@Greg: @Greg: @Greg: I refer you to the link in red that you yourself included in your answer to me. Go to Schedule D Capital Gains and Losses. In part ll Long Term Gains and Losses lines 14 & 15 – Assets held more than one year, you will find the crow that is yours to eat. Like most of the low information liberals that Hillary depends on, you only skim the surface.
For your entertainment, I include the opinions of a few others:
