Democrats Went All In On Hillary Clinton. It's Looking Like a Terrible Bet.
New allegations that she did favors for foreign Clinton Foundation donors as secretary of State are more toxic than any that have come before.
By Josh Kraushaar

April 23, 2015 Democrats didn't fully appreciate the size of the gamble they're taking on Hillary Clinton by assuming she's their strongest 2016 candidate, but they're sure finding out now.

Forget the email server. The latest revelation—that a Canadian mining company with close ties to the Clinton Foundation sold its uranium business to the Russians with approval from Clinton's State Department—is more damaging than any of the previous controversies that have buffeted the campaign.

The story goes to the heart of several serious, growing vulnerabilities that Clinton will be facing, sooner or later. First, the perception of foreign entities paying the Clinton Foundation and later getting favorable treatment from the State Department raises the spectre of foreign governments buying access at the highest levels of the U.S. government—a politically potent allegation should any connection be proven. The fact that Clinton reportedly concealed the company's donations to the foundation from the Obama administration only raises the reason for suspicion.

I have no confidence this will have ANY effect on Hillary's candidacy.

Hell, Bill Clinton was openly taking money from the CHINESE GOVERNMENT in 1995 for his reelection campaign and the press never touched it.

The Clintons are a crime family:  they act like a crime family, are paid tribute like a crime family, and get revenge like a crime family. They're a scourge on this country.

Nobody has ever turned state's evidence on the Clintons. Once they buy somebody, he stays bought.

As evidence, look at the firebrand Trey Gowdy. As soon as Mr. Gowdy took over the Benghazi investigation, he turned into Darrell Issa. Coincidence? I think not!

I'm on the fence about what this means to Hillary's campaign though. The far left is disillusioned and really wants Elizabeth Warren. However, if Hillary is the nominee, I have no doubt that all this will be "in the past", and not relevant to the campaign.

Agree (for the second time today!).
