(5,761 posts)that you and your ilk don't seem to know the definition of "conflict of interest".
Tell us how is Hillary going to tell them to "knock it off" and "call them out" when she is taking money from them?
Do you really think she's that stupid? I don't. She knows exactly what she's doing and guess what? Ted Cruz's wife was on the board of Goldman-Sachs when Hillary gave her speeches. Have fun with that.

(11,366 posts)Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has called her support for gun control laws a key differentiator from her opponent Bernie Sanders, who she claims isnt tough enough on the industry. But in mid-March, a Clinton campaign fundraiser will be co-hosted by a lobbyist whose clients have included the National Rifle Association (NRA).
As David Sirota reported Monday in the International Business Times, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta is a co-host and the guest of honor at a fundraising lunch in the nations capital on March 21.
One of the other co-hosts is Jeff Forbes of the lobbying firm Forbes-Tate.
Forbes has represented the NRA since 2009 and as of the last quarter of 2015 was still registered to lobby for the organization. On his lobbying disclosure, Forbes wrote that he was signed up to lobby for Issues related to 2nd Amendment rights, regulation and gun control, and tax and appropriations related to same; issues related to corporate tax reform.

(14,881 posts)Bernie benefited from that, but he didn't seek nor owe favors for their inadvertent help.
They took a gamble that he'd be a one-termer and lost their bet, badly.
He voted with Vermont's interest, not the NRA's.

And, WOW -- he was managing hedge funds for GS during the period they were ripping off unsuspecting Americans and destroying the U.S. economy?
And Hillary wants to be president? Seriously?
NO.

(12,606 posts)then she has to be open and honest.
If I ever felt that somebidy that I was interviewing, and I have done that as part if my job, was being dishonest when asked a question abouth their recent past it would be a disqualifyer.
I have always found the Democratic personality cults to be most entertaining of all. They expect that kind of attitude from the republicans, but when we see it in their own candidates it is mind blowing WRT self deception.

(38,493 posts)If you know full well that you are going to run for President, you should fully expect that the content of any speech you may give will become an object of interest to the electorate. The content of your character and the quality of your judgment will be illustrated and indicated by those speeches. There is nothing private about them, unless you are interested in promoting your duplicity.

(7,321 posts)It does compel one to conclude that in this online community, her supporters here are the functionaries for the 1% or the wanna be 1%. It's just about the only explanation for this.
Except those who are strictly about identity politics, (cuz she's a woman) that's the only other explanation.
Possible I have missed it, but I have not seen a single op from a supporter express any concern whatsoever on the underpinning issues and questions concerning these secret meetings.
Does there exist any Hillary Supporters who are the Poor and the Poor Working Class here in this community? It would be interesting to know.

(24,411 posts)She appeared to favor being secretive over protecting classified information and the most sensitive of national-security secrets.
I don't know how her supporters accept this. My guess is that they are ignorant about what she did or they don't care enough research this on their own.
Her email server scandal cannot be understood in a few talking points. You have to engage in due diligence. If you're supporting her, you're an idiot if you don't do your due diligence on this subject.
I don't see how she escapes indictment. This is part of the reason that I am so adamant about her not being our nominee. She is radioactive.
Any Hillary supporter who doesn't understand the serious trouble she is in--is irresponsible. This thing could implode our entire party. It all depends on what the FBI recommends and what the DOJ ultimately decides. However, it's not looking good for her at all. I urge everyone to at least be informed and understand that major ramifications for our party could be coming.
What happens if she is indicted? Have people thought about that? What does that mean for our party? For this election?
questionseverything
(9,654 posts)repubs and indies will see it as her being protected by a democratic administration
she is a lose/lose scenario for democrats now
before this election any appearance of impropriety was enough for the candidate to withdrawal for the good of the party
i hope at some point the dnc realizes this and accept that bernie is the candidate we need ,that can win for the 99

(82,383 posts)The email server was secure - it's a matter of whether it is a government one or not. It was OK when Powell and Condi did it. You're acting like they were public.
What is it about the Bernie campaign? Always thinking they've come up with something clever when you can shoot holes in it from a mile away.

shooting fish in a barrel, basically
and we don't know the half of what the other side is willing to do/say/show, but I will bet there is a hundred-thousand times more damaging stuff all cocked and loaded for the Fall than we'd ever even imagine. And it's not the fact that they are lobbing the attacks, it's the fact that much of it will stick because someone's untrustworthy numbers are in the toilet, and fit the narrative.
