Looks at the Clinton foundation and the UAE
looks back at post
Wasn’t that proved to be outside of tenure?
So you think that having a slew of money coming to you while you are out of power right before an election you are expected to win means that that isn't explicit corruption?
I have this really nice building for sale in New York that I have to sell for a really steep discount. Send me the money and we can meet up and I'll sign it over to you. My loss is your gain.
Seriously, this is the stupidest attempt to justify corruption I've ever seen.
If only Qatar had delivered the plane to Trump on Jan 5th, 2025 there would have been no conflict of interest.

Huh. Funding dried up after she lost and wouldn't have the political influence the funders thought they were buying.
Who'd have thought.
Did you look at the date of that article and think about it at all? You're making my point for me.
Not every response here is an attack.
My apologies.
.ml never fail to take a criticism against Trump and whatabbout it towards a democrat
It's been 9 years and centrists still can't accept that no one likes HRC.
Centrists still believe Hillary was the most qualified and deserving person ever to run for president.
And there's millions of them.
I fucking wish everyone hated Hilary Clinton. Then maybe she wouldn't have walked into a NY Senate seat, much less the Dem Presidential nomination.
centrists just wanted her because she's kissinger's protege.
Woof. Ain't that the fucking truth.
Libya, Cambodia... it's all the fucking same to these ghouls.
Corruption is fucking corruption.
Calling whataboutism and not cleaning your own house is precisely what leads to loss of trust and directly led to the first term of Trump. EDIT: Along with explicitly and blatantly breaking their own rules to give the primary to Hillary (This isn't conjecture or theory. They've explicitly admitted this in court and justified it by saying they aren't a public entity but a private organization and can cheat if they want. Funny how they're a public institution when they get free federal funds, but private when applying their own rules)
Democrats being feckless cowards and refusing to prosecute Trump for emoluments violations during the first term, and then failing to prosecute Trump for fucking insurrection on day one of Bidens Administration is what led to Trump term 2.
"Yeah well what about your party's corruption" is actually a valid point for which you have fuck all as a defense
