He is targeting the Clinton campaign for accepting donations from foreign nationals.

Thoughts?

 
"What difference, at this point, does it make?"

No matter what is found I am sure you and MediaMatters will excuse it.
 
I'd be shocked to find that this kind of thing doesn't happen in pretty much EVERY campaign. Between anonymous small(ish) cash donations and money coming in from superPac's there WILL be FEC violations in every campaign and the issue becomes one of willfulness and gross receipts rather than whether or not it happens.

Probably accurate, but it is still pathetic to see.

hillary had issues in 08 about taking some shady money,some of it traced back to terrorist organizations,then though she returned the money and said she had no idea.

between then and now the same answer would not fly if it was definitivaly proven,especially with the other accusations under investigation.
 
This was about a Canadian handing money to O'Keefe's operative and the operative buying a $35 Clinton t-shirt. At O'Keefe's press conference there were snickers and one reporter asked, "is this a joke."

From the WaPo article above:
There are just two catches. One: No one's ever thrown the book at an American for purchasing merchandise from a campaign, then giving it to a foreigner as a gift. Two: The person who takes the Canadian's money and gives it to the Clinton campaign is the Project Veritas Action journalist.

no but hillary is already in a delicate position,and has been accused of far worse.i do not think she could talk her way out any more with everything she is accused of and being caught lying multiple times.

she already has a bullseye on here,she already has the people watching her,being careless in any way only hurts her more.

she admitted to holding top secret emails on a private server,she already admitted guilt,it would be the same as saying a murderer showing the knife he stabbed someone with and admitting he killed him then you yelling so there is no proof.

You forgot to cite the statement that she held "top secret" emails on a private server. Can't wait to read that statement. (somehow I think it won't quite be the same thing, will it?)

This thread is about O'Keefe's 'sting' video. You are changing the subject because the O'Keefe thing crashed and burned.

excuse me i may have mis stated,she admitted to storing emails on her personal server,the question of top secret is still under review,however the fact so many were deleted does raise quite a few questions.

What does it have to do with a Canadian giving money to an O'Keefe operative to buy a Clinton t-shirt?

foriegn peoples omfg!!!111one

probably because it is taking money from foreigners for an election.my point was she is heavily under the radar,and when you are trying to dismiss guilt,your best bet is to avoid anything even remotely considered shady or illegal,i think it overal is stupid but she does keep walking into it.

You should know by now liberals think Hillary can do no wrong. Its amusing to see the denial over and over, and over, and over...

But..you left out BENGHAZI and Vince Foster..... LOL
 
Hold on. Are the people purchasing items and the proceeds go to Hillary or is the money a gift and people can simply select an item in exchange for the gift? I'm serious. In the video they talk about purchasing items and also making a donation. Purchasing items is not the same as making a donation.

I will say this: I expected sleazy video edits that take things out of context AND that's not what happened.

I don't think it's "desperation" at all. It is pretty obvious that someone is hell bent on trying to make sure Her Majesty doesn't ascend to the Presidency. I also think it would be VERY difficult, if not impossible to determine, at a booth like in the video, whether a person is a US Citizen or not. Someone (probably the "Journalist") clued them in as to the buyers nationality. Under normal circumstances how would you know without "profiling" and/or asking each and every person if they were a US Citizen. While I understand the regulation, I think it is probably aimed more at the large donations. It is a law or regulation though, so .........
