In an election season that has been full of surprises, let’s hope the electorate understands that there is at least one thing of which it can be certain: A Hillary Clinton presidency will be built, from the ground up, on self-dealing, crony favors, and an utter disregard for the law.
This isn’t a guess. It is spelled out, in black and white, in the latest bombshell revelation from WikiLeaks. It comes in the form of a memo written in 2011 by longtime Clinton errand boy Doug Band, who for years worked simultaneously at the Clinton Foundation and at the head of his lucrative consulting business, Teneo.
It is astonishingly detailed proof that the Clintons do not draw any lines between their “charitable” work, their political activity, their government jobs or (and most important) their personal enrichment. Every other American is expected to keep these pursuits separate, as required by tax law, anticorruption law and campaign-finance law. For the Clintons, it is all one and the same—the rules be damned.

“We have dedicated ourselves to helping the President secure and engage in for-profit activities,” Band wrote. He also said he had “sought to leverage my activities, including my partner role at Teneo, to support and to raise funds for the foundation.”

Band’s memo provided data showing how much money each of Teneo’s 20 clients at the time had given to the Clinton Foundation, how much they had paid Bill Clinton and, in some cases, how he or Kelly had personally forged the relationships that resulted in the payments.
Band wrote that Teneo partners had raised in excess of $8 million for the foundation and $3 million in paid speaking fees for Bill Clinton. He said he had secured contracts for the former president that would pay out $66 million over the subsequent nine years if the deals remained in place.
For instance, Band wrote that Kelly arranged for the former president to meet the chief executive of Coca-Cola in January 2009 at the Clintons’ home in Washington. In all, according to Band’s memo, Coke had contributed $4.33 million to the foundation between 2004 and 2010.

Yeah, this is gonna leave a mark. Wikileaks is getting pretty interesting. I wouldn't want to be Doug Band this weekend.

I doubt it. None of these WikiLeaks "bombshells" have done anything to Hillary's numbers so far.

This only came to light yesterday so it won't have any influence yet but there are few factors to cogitate over here. The undecided voter hasn't voted yet. There are also people that will vote at the polls that haven't voted yet.

I am also thinking about the consequences after the polls. This is gonna leave a mark regardless.

Just as a side note, I noticed that ABC had Clinton up 12 points on the 23rd and only up 4 on the 26th.

I think libs like you should continue to think like this....Just this morning on MSLSD they were starting to talk about it, admittedly making excuses for it, but talking about it none the less....So, as this criminal corruption comes out, Americans are sick to their collective stomach's over it, and will vote in kind.....See you on the 9th.

They have done something to her numbers. In Hillary's own words she wonders why she's not up by 50 points by now. No, I don't think committed liberals are going to change their minds. That's a given. But these releases certainly have an eroding effect on the squishy middle's opinion of her. That's likely who will decide this election.

Make sure you cast your ballot on the 9th too, pal. That'd be great. ;)

You think it matters. Cute. Democrats are just gonna vote for her corruption be damned. And as long as LEOs like Comey and lynch are threatened, bribed, or whatver...nothin happens.

I think long term. That is how I retired at 52. It works. Cheer up. It is a good day to be a conservative. We are witnessing a time in our history like no other.

that shows how pathetic America has become and how the Hillary Fan Club is OK with such criminality

The election is on the 8th. Better vote before the 9th.

It doesn't matter what Hillary does that is unethical as long as she gets away with it.

well look, there are several people on a poll on this forum who TRUST HER 100%

WOW

It's just that most people aren't gonna sit down and shift through 100 pages worth of WikiLeaks documents. Added to the fact that pretty much everyone knows Hillary's a corporatist shill. The most that these WikiLeaks scandals are doing is just confirming what everyone already knew.

Short of a WikiLeaks releasing a clip of Hillary saying she eats live babies as a part of nutritious balanced breakast, I don't see this having much effect on her poll numbers.

I judge my friends on three types of trust. Can I trust them with my wife, money and my truck? If the answer is no for any of the three I don't trust them. I wonder how many of them would trust Bubba with their wives for a night or Hillary with a suit case full of money.

We vote on the 8th, so don't wait until the 9th, people.

These are highly significant revelations, but I wonder about people getting scandal fatigue at this point. In a country where more than half of the electorate can't locate Texas on a map I'm not sure facts even matter.
 
Re: Grifters-in-Chief The Clintons don’t draw lines between their ‘charity’ and perso

The reason the we don't see the impact in the polls (in reference to the Wikileak emails about the Clinton corruption) is because the media doesn't give it appropriate coverage or cover the stories accurately.

I know that I wasn't going to vote for Trump until I started to read some of the Wikileaks emails. There is one vote. It is just one vote but I am sure there is more out there that feel the same way. Damn, I have to change my sig.

Edit:
Sig changed.

There probably are. But is that enough to ruin Hillary's chances, especially when it's this late in the election season? I don't think so.

I think they may have hurt her on the edges, but until there are some emails sent by Hillary that are incriminating in some way, they wont move the needle much at all. Didn't Hillary ever email Podesta? All I have seen is her underlings communicating with him. Maybe her emails are being saved for later.

It is getting traction now and the MSM is forced to cover it so I kindly disagree with you. Let's do this. Her poll numbers are +7.1 (RCP 4 way) on the 17th. They were 5.6 three days ago (23rd). They are +4.4 today. We can track it until the election. The story is getting traction today, since the email came out yesterday.

4.4? I'm seeing 5.2 on RCP.

I bet he has some emails from or about Kerry still stashed.
