"After Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Bill Clinton received $17.6 million in payments from a for-profit university. Since that time, another organization with a connection to that university received almost $90 million in grants from an agency that's part of the State Department."
Start with that, dumb fuck, and if you can master that conflict of interest/pay-for-play scam, we'll move you up from kindergarten for retards.
If Hillary & Bill squatted over your mouth and shit down your gullet, you'd gleefully swallow and ask for seconds.
Liberals fucking worship Corrupt Hillary & Lewinkying Bill.

And of course NARA 2009, which mandates that emails be turned over - and certainly the ones with classified info and 'official, work' emails - weren't until legal action was threatened, in which case Hillary and her lawyers panicked and sorted through the emails, Bleachbit erasing beyond recovery those they unilaterally decided were personal.
Gross Negligence is certainly a factor here, if Hillary claiming that she thought "C stood for Cookie, which is good enough for me" if "National Security" information applies to Foreign Intelligence and Diplomacy, which it almost certainly does.

Did Hillary have approval to store classified material on her private, personal server via the proper channels? Was the Administration notified of this unusual arrangement or even her own State IT Department responsible for security of communications?
The Clintons make the rules, you simple simon motherless fuck.
Some of us are smart enough to know right from wrong, without having to defer to the fairy tale scenario of Royal Familys allowing themselves to be subjected to the system of shit laws that only exist to fuck over everyone but themselves.
"My friend " is about to fire up a fat bowl of medicine (cannabis) after his long day of labor. There's at a minimum two laws being broken, that call for years of punishment.
The way I see it, is that laws are being broken, so it's illegal. But they are terrible, stupid laws, and my "friend " is within his constitutional rights to smoke that grass. His act is not the crime. The crime is that there is such bad laws in the first place. That people are sent to private for profit prisons, for being a freedom loving American.
You're never going to get it
You dumb conservatives (/s).
Can't you see there are no ethical lapses nor laws violated here, under this fact pattern! (and Bernie supporters, can't you feel that Clinton Corruption BURN DEEPLY?):
Though the journalists at the network morning shows often follow the lead of big newspapers such as the Washington Post and New York Times when they highlight a controversy involving a Republican, ABC on Tuesday totally skipped a front-page report in the Post on a an $18 million “honorary†payment to Bill Clinton.Â
CBS This Morning’s Charlie Rose allowed just 27 seconds to the news that the former President was well paid after then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “invited a representative from Laureate International Universities to a State Department function in 2009.†Rose added, “Nine months later, the company signed Bill Clinton to a five-year consulting deal worth nearly $18 million.â€Â
Rose reassured, “There is no evidence that the State Department favored the school for hiring him.â€Â
ABC’s Good Morning America avoided the story, despite two hours of air-time. NBC’s Today, a four hour program, also skipped the Post’s front page expose. However, to NBC’s credit, Nightly News covered the payment in August.Â
Despite Rose’s quick dismissal of the story’s import, the Washington Post’s Rosalind S. Helderman and Michelle Ye Hee Lee explained why the story matters:Â
There is no evidence that Laureate received special favors from the State Department in direct exchange for hiring Bill Clinton, but the Baltimore-based company had much to gain from an association with a globally connected ex-president and, indirectly, the United States’ chief diplomat. Being included at the 2009 dinner, shoulder to shoulder with leaders from internationally renowned universities for a discussion about the role of higher education in global diplomacy, provided an added level of credibility for the business as it pursued an aggressive expansion strategy overseas, occasionally tangling with foreign regulators.
“A lot of these private-education guys, they’re looking to get into events like this one,†said Sam Pitroda, a higher-education expert who was representing a policy commission from India at the State Department dinner. “The discussion itself is irrelevant.... It gets you very high-level contacts, and it gets you to the right people.â€
NBC covered the controversy back on August 23. Cynthia McFadden looked into the more questionable side of Laureate International Universities:Â
MCFADDEN: Over the last three months, NBC News has taken a closer look at Laureate's U.S. flagship, Walden University. More than two dozen students tell us the school misled them, trapping them in a staggering amounts of student loan debt.
Bill Clinton was given $17.6 million for being an honorary chancellor. Shouldn’t supposedly skeptical journalists investigate this large payment? On August 24, all three networks promoted the Clinton campaign’s efforts to discredit an Associated Press report on the fact that over half of Hillary Clinton’s non-governmental meetings at the State Department were with Clinton Foundation donors."
Here's another question. When did you become so arrogant that you thought you could pass judgement like this on a criminal act?
-----------
I'm not calling for her to go to prison. However, as an American, I could be called for jury duty.
Ever hear of The Court of Public Opinion? Or did you want to take another right away tonight?
She's guilty of not being worthy of getting my vote.
She's the biggest phony to ever grace the big stage in politics, and that's saying something.
She will say whatever it takes to get the votes, and thdn turn around and do whatever FIRE/plutocrat bidding is necessary to get her money. She is the mother of all sell outs.
So you can have her, and all her feminist glory. Go ahead and vote against your own self interest.
It has to be eating y'all alive, that everything you've ever said, a/o thought you stood for, being turned on its head and shoved up your ass. You type folk seem to like it
and the FBI has decided neither apply. You can disagree with this if you want to but keep in mind you'd be doing so from a point of sheer ignorance relative to the actual investigation.
-----------
Did the fbi decide neither apply? Or did they decide not to press charges? Again, a crime can be committed, the agency may know the guilt of the actor, yet they may decide not to pursue , for any number of reasons.
I thought you claim to be the one operating in reality. Reality is, Hillary Clinton is the queen of political privilege
...and donates up to 5 million to Clinton "Foundation."
What a phucking joke this all is.
When are the scumbag pieces of shit going to be arrested?
When are DOJ and FBI and state and other law enforcement and regulatory agencies going to crack down on the PHUCKING CON ARTIST CLINTONS???
WHEN????

"After Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Bill Clinton received $17.6 million in payments from a for-profit university. Since that time, another organization with a connection to that university received almost $90 million in grants from an agency that's part of the State Department.
Critics of the Clintons have cried foul. But is there really something shady going on?
There is no shortage of connections between the Clintons and Laureate International Universities. Laureate is a for-profit university -- the same kind Hillary Clinton has railed against for saddling students with huge debts.
"[Students] find little support once they actually enroll, or they graduate and discover that, when it comes to finding a job, their degree isn't worth what they thought," she told an audience last year.
Laureate has about one million students worldwide, mostly in Latin America, with five schools in the United States.
Laureate has faced investigations in Brazil over whether students were getting what they paid for, and in Chile concerning its for-profit status. U.S. students have complained the school failed to deliver on its promised degree programs.
In addition, three of the five schools Laureate operates in the United States are under what the U.S. Department of Education calls "heightened cash monitoring" because of potential problems with its "financial responsibility." The school told CNN it disagrees with the government's methodology.
The Clinton campaign told CNN that the candidate intends to hold for-profit colleges accountable.
"Hillary Clinton has made it clear that all for-profit institutions should be held to the same standards and she will crack down on law-breaking for-profits by expanding support for federal regulators to enforce laws against deceptive marketing, fraud, and other illegal practices."
The Clinton connection
Doug Becker, the wealthy founder of Laureate Universities, is a big donor to Democratic causes, and has made large contributions to both Hillary Clinton's and Barack Obama's political campaigns.
Laureate is also listed as a donor to the Clinton Foundation in the $1 million to $5 million range.
Since 2008, Laureate has partnered with the Clinton Global Initiative on various educational causes throughout the world.
And, in 2010, Becker and Laureate signed Bill Clinton to be its new honorary chancellor.
Between 2010 and 2015, from the time when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state up until the very month she announced she was running for president, Bill Clinton received at least $17.6 million for his role.
What did the former president actually do?
According to Laureate, he "inspired" people. "We could see the impact that his visits had on our campuses and how he inspired our students," Laureate told CNN in a statement.
Weeks after Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy for president in April 2015, Bill Clinton and Laureate announced their mutual contract was up, and he stepped down as honorary chancellor.
Political opponents smelled something rotten. What exactly did a for-profit international school get for that $17.6 million? And why did Bill Clinton's employment with the school coincide with Hillary Clinton's term as secretary of state, which ended in 2013?

The conspiracy theory moved to another organization called the International Youth Foundation. The non-profit organization is also involved with international education, providing job and life skill training to disenfranchised youth.
It is run out of Baltimore (as is Laureate), but has far reaching programs in developing countries.
The IYF has been operating with funds provided from the State Department through the U.S. Agency for International Development, a federal government organization.
What's the connection to Laureate and the Clintons? Becker is the chairman of the board of IYF. And during the very same years Bill Clinton was honorary chairman of Becker's Laureate and Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, U.S. government grants to IYF soared.
The group was awarded $17.1 million in 2010 when Bill Clinton became honorary chancellor, up from $9 million the prior year.
It was awarded another $40 million over the next two years.
After Hillary Clinton left State in early 2013, grants declined, to about $6 million in 2014, and $3.8 million in 2015.
Clinton's critics point to the trend as a sign of corruption and bid rigging.
"The only scam in education that I am aware of is the scam of Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton," said Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Donald Trump. "Secretary Clinton was funneling State Department grants to this university."
