Prediction: Hillary

[Jen]

Hillary is being accused of some quid pro quo actions / money during her term as Secretary of State in a book coming out.

Clinton Cash by Peter Schweizer will hit the shelves May 5. In this book,
“We will see a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds,” Mr. Schweizer writes.


His examples include a free-trade agreement in Colombia that benefited a major foundation donor’s natural resource investments in the South American nation, development projects in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake in 2010, and more than $1 million in payments to Mr. Clinton by a Canadian bank and major shareholder in the Keystone XL oil pipeline around the time the project was being debated in the State Department."

These allegations deserve to be investigated. Hillary may have committed felonies while serving as Secretary of State.

My prediction:

1. Hillary will continue in the race for President and nothing will be done legally to stop her.

2. The Democratic Party will encourage others to run against her and there will be several people to jump into the race. Among those contenders may be Martin O'Malley, former governor of Maryland and Jim Webb former Senator from Virginia.

3. Most importantly, Hillary will NOT be the candidate that the Democrats ultimately nominate for the 2016 race.

I think most liberals (including those here on PJ) could care less if Hillary does anything to skirt the rules or break the law. The modern Liberals really are probably the most insecure and low integrity crowd running (exception being ISIS)

She will keep her 47 - 48% of dum-basses who would vote for her no matter what. But that's not enough to win. I believe the Dems will find someone to leap in there and snatch the nomination out from under her again. Elizabeth Warren would be the easiest if for no other reason than her voice is a tad less screechy than Hillary's. Not sure if Warren will do it.

And you are absolutely right.
Leftists do not care if Hillary lies, skirts rules, breaks the law or does any other corrupt thing.

It is a low-integrity crowd for sure.

You idiots just aren't getting it...Hillary will be the Nominee and will be elected President...watch and see....

I don't think there will ever be any consequences, no matter what Hillary does. Since i could never get away with the stuff she does, I must assume this is due to "white privilege".........

Until now, we didn't even know that you had committed "the same stuff she does".

When did you get out of the slammer?

Some revelation.

Gramps and I both said she would not be the nominee months ago. I posted that opinion and Gramps jumped in with, "That's what I've been trying to tell them!"

So, keep on vetting your candidates based on nothing but their perceived ability to beat Hillary.

 

[fairsheet]

Hmm....what was that one called?? Whitewater? You betcha! We'll git them Clintons!

Just one of many scandals that seem to follow the Clintons - at least that one wasn't wearing a blue dress.

 

[as seen on tv]

Hillary's latest explanation - there was nothing wrong with accepting these donations. but i've stopped doing it, now that people don't like it . ..

We'll see if the book has anything to offer other than the innuendos currently flying. But I doubt the Clinton campaign is concerned. This isn't a matter of Bill Clinton running a for-profit business venture on which the family was getting rich with dealings with foreign countries. This was a NON-PROFIT humanitarian foundation, where the motivation was to help the needy, and the Clintons collected little or no compensation.

Are the bin Laden's still family friends with the Bush klan? Still doing business with them like they were on 9-11?

Just one of many scandals that seem to follow the Clintons - at least that one wasn't wearing a blue dress.

The right-wingers have been inventing scandals around the Clintons from the start. It's their whole M.O. So far, the only one that ended up having any substance to it was so utterly trivial that it's embarrassing that anyone would consider it worth mentioning: Bill Clinton lied about a consensual blowjob. A quarter-century of DESPERATE right-wing digging for absolutely any dirt to use against the Clintons, and a fib about some head is the best they could come up with?!

It's genuinely shocking that anyone in politics could be so squeaky clean as to come through decades of investigation, including the extraordinary powers of the Starr office, and yet leave their enemies with absolutely nothing meaningful to use against them. I started with the assumption that the Clintons were dirty, since they came out of Arkansas and I knew just how dirty poor, small-state politics tend to be. But the Republicans convinced me I was wrong, and that Bill and Hillary Clinton are almost freakishly ethical!

Yes, they are all invented. There is no Monica Lewinsky, and Hillary did not do public business on her own private server which she refuses to turn over, and no one died at Benghazi. Poor Hillary is a victim, it's all made up. The only thing that is real is her coming under sniper fire and Bill's unquestioned fidelity.

It's so easy when you start out with a conclusion - in this case, "The Clintons are ethical" - and then work backwards to make the facts fit somehow. You went with the "It's all somebody's else" rationalization, always a popular choice for the True Believer. It's amusing if nothing else. Carry on.

There has and always will be one set of rules for the Clintons and one for everyone else.

I agree she won't be the nominee, O'Malley and Webb would actually have a shot at being elected especially if they ran against Jeb. However he (Jeb) will not be the nominee either they are more likely to be running against Walker.

Oh we get it, yes you loons will put up a lying, cheating candidate that is nothing but a fat drunk

 

[Arkady]

Yes, they are all invented. There is no Monica Lewinsky

There certainly is. I don't see why that should be regarded as scandalous, though. Why do I care how the president enjoys his spare time, as long as it's consensual? I assume getting some fellatio in the Oval Office is cheaper and less distracting that spending the whole month of August on vacation at one's Texas mansion, so if we're going to pry into presidential free time for scandals, the relationship with Lewinsky wouldn't be high on my list of priorities.

Hillary did not do public business on her own private server which she refuses to turn over

To be fair, that one does strike me as problematic. However, I've gone off half-cocked before, hooking onto something like this, only to find that the matter had been misreported badly (specifically, the IRS "scandal," which I initially thought really was a shameful politicized targeting of conservatives, before I learned more). So I'm mostly holding my fire on that one until I learn more.

and no one died at Benghazi

That's a tragedy, but not a scandal. People die on the job, working for the government, on a regular basis. Often, when it happens, it's because of some stuff that, in retrospect, looks like a mistake. But that doesn't automatically turn it into a scandal. If it did, we'd have scandals every few years just for the times when people are killed during attacks on our foreign diplomatic missions, much less when they're killed during military operations. I have read up fairly extensively about Benghazi, and I don't see anything scandalous there for Hillary Clinton. It was just the kind of thing we can expect to keep happening as long as we're widely hated among many international groups and yet we keep a massive presence around the world. Those are a lot of potential targets, and we're sometimes going to fail to defend them adequately. People may try to invent a scandal around that when a Democrat is president (as opposed to the deadlier Bush-era attacks on Karachi), but that's just politics.
