More from WikiLeaks. Hillary, echoing previous comments from Nancy Pelosi, says more welfare spending will stimulate economic growth.
Quote:
Hillary Clinton argued that expanding food stamps and other safety net programs is essential to fuel economic growth at a speech to General Electric executives, according to an excerpt of the transcript made public by WikiLeaks Friday.
“Economic growth will take off when people in the middle feel more secure again and start spending again,” Clinton said in her speech at General Electric’s Global Leadership Meeting in January, 2014.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when agents in the FBI start coming forward (whistle blowers) just how many follow suit. I think this is going to be an extremely huge deal. But still nothing will be done. But it'll still be interesting to watch.

The Clinton Foundation is walking a thin line but who wants to put somebody in jail for raising a bundle of money and spending it on the charity work the Foundation itself performs?
|
from what I've read, the Clinton's only use 5% of their bundle for actual charity work, they spend 7% of the bundle on travel and entertainment.

Not going to happen unless Trump is elected. If they come forward under Obama or Clinton, they go to jail for violating that document Comey forced them to sign

I agree. At the very least, they lose their jobs. The best to be hoped for is tell-all articles or books from retired agents down the road, probably anonymous.

How about granting them immunity or some kind of whistle blower protection?

Hillary is such a great candidate that all Hillary and Obama and Michele and all the supporters care about is trashing trump. What's she going to do for ME? And YOU?

OK, I read it. So what? Lockheed Martin made donations to the Clinton Foundation. Lockheed Martin secured contracts from the State Department. The Clinton Foundation and the State Department are two entirely separate entities.
Prove that Lockheed Martin was not the low bidder or that it was not the firm best able to fulfill the contract at a slightly higher cost. What you are suggesting is that a firm should not make charitable contributions because a charity and a government agency might have officers in common. Of course Hillary Clinton was not an officer of the Clinton Foundation while Secretary of State. She just happened to be married to someone who was.
Accusation:
When President Obama nominated Comey to become FBI director in 2013, Comey promised the United States Senate that he would recuse himself on all cases involving former employers.
But Comey earned $6 million in one year alone from Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin became a Clinton Foundation donor that very year.
Facts: The year that he earned $6,000,000 was 2010, the last year he worked for Lockheed Martin, and three years before Obama nominated Comey to become FBI Director.
How much Comey earned at Lockheed Martin has nothing to do with his promise to recuse himself from cases involving his former employers. The only question which needs to be answered her is, did he recuse himself when any cases involving those employers came up? Hillary's emails is not a case involving Lockheed Martin and their contributions to the Clinton Foundation does not make it one.
All of this is a perfect example of Post hoc ergo propter hoc. "After this therefore because of this."

Now, now. There is no evidence that companies got direct benefits for their contributions. Only that they got an audience with the Borg Queen.
Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

Why is that, when all the signs are there plain as day ?... Is more corruption and commie stuff what the people want?...

Well said. Think how far Hillary or The Donald would have gotten in their campaigns back in the 1970s or 1980s - they never would have received double digit support. About every 80 years or so, a dictator needs to come along and straighten things out. This time the U.S. won't be as fortunate - it's our turn for a Hitler or Stalin instead of FDR.
As for the Hillary, The Donald or even Obama, none of them posses the skills to be a Fuhrer. Kaine strikes me as a wanna-be as well.
I worry more about what comes after Hillary. With her track record of complete incompetence, zero integrity, poor health and general sociopathy, she'll be setting the table for a guy named Adolph.

Hillary's best quality is her poor health.
Wink wink nod nod.
