Hillary allowed Uranium One to be sold to Putin now Russia controls 20% of OUR uranium deposits. She could have blocked this sale since she sat on the 9 member panel that approved it. In what world is it a good idea to give Putin the rights to 20% of our uranium?
At the same time of the sale Uranium One donated over 2 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation and Russia paid Bill 500k to give a speech in Russia. Hmm..
Cash flowed to Clinton Foundation as Russians pressed for control of uranium company
As usual the spin machine is on full cycle trying to make this go away. I give the NY Times credit for reporting it.

This isn't a scandal though, like where is the evidence that because she was paid she allowed the sale? No where...

Naturally there isn't a paper trail, there never really is with them, they just play by their own rules. If you can't put all the shady things that happened over the past 20 years together with the Clinton's then you are just never going to. When the NY Times is questioning Hillary then you should take notice. Pay to play is something that goes on in Washington.

Benghazi testimony coming up!
Quote:
Clinton offered months ago to testify – in a public hearing for all of the world to see – only to face resistance from the committee’s GOP leaders. Indeed, just this week, Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) was asked by Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren whether Clinton has been “cooperative.” The Republican leader conceded, “Cooperative from the standpoint she has never once evidenced a lack of willingness to come in to talk to us.”
All of which led to yesterday’s announcement that the committee is willing to let Clinton answer questions – again – but the panel now wants her to testify twice. Alex Seitz-Wald reported:
In a letter sent Thursday to Clinton’s lawyer, committee Chair Trey Gowdy asked Clinton to appear before the committee to discuss her controversial use of a private email account during the week of May 18, and then to appear again during the week of June 18 to discuss the Benghazi terror attacks themselves.
Clinton was secretary of state during the September 2012 Benghazi terror attack, which left four Americans dead, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, and became a major political issue in the 2012 presidential campaign and in the years since.
Gowdy backed down from demands that Clinton’s testimony must be private – the next round of Q&A will be televised, just as the Democrat requested.

Having her testimony private was in her best interest now she is going to possibly make an unforced error on TV. Gowdy didn't cave in to anything he knows exactly what he is doing.
The GP does not follow congressional hearings and any mistake she makes will be made in to a sound bite against her. I honestly don't understand the Democrats logic on this one.

Never going to happen. The Tea Party and the Big Donors can't stand him.
Bush has the establishment, Walker has the Koch brother's, and Rubio has the poll #'s. It's down to those 3.

1. There's nothing left on Benghazi. The Republican-led commission found there was no "conspiracy" and no "deliberately misleading" the American people.
2. If it was private, it'd be Gowdy's word against Hillary's to the press and this is deliberate to make sure that's not the case.

What do you think it would be a private between only Trey and Hillary? It would be the whole committee Democrats and Republicans.

Last night: 'Deep-seated' beliefs block abortion access.
“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will,” she explained. “And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed. As I have said and as I believe, the advancement of the full participation of women and girls in every aspect of their societies is the great unfinished business of the 21st century and not just for women but for everyone — and not just in far away countries but right here in the United States.”
What Hillary is advocating here is that religious beliefs must be changed so that they conform to the will of the State. The premise for this is that the State is to be arbitrator of moral decisions, not the individual.
If you like your religion, you can keep your religion?
I am not religious but know the majority of Americans are so Hillary needs to watch what she says or this could become an issue for her.

Why are they still having hearings on Benghazi? The Republicans are so desperate to drag this out even though there's nothing they don't already know about it.

It takes persons made of stronger stuff than we are to manage a group project. We still have nightmares about PowerPoint presentations gone wrong. And yet Hillary somehow found a volunteer for just that responsibility in Amanda Renteria. The former Democratic candidate for Congress and first Hispanic woman to work as a chief of staff to a senator will operate as political director, mobilizing specific constituencies—educators, veterans, college students, and your neighborhood cheerleaders—to organize their involvement in the campaign. To help her marshal the masses, Renteria may ask Brynne Craig to graduate from her recent position as a scheduler for Clinton and serve as deputy political director.
Every clique needs a loud mouth. And that voice belongs to Jennifer Palmieri, who transferred from the Oval Office to join Clinton HQ in February. FYI: Palmieri is not, like, some random new girl. The former White House communications director worked in both Bill Clinton administrations and is BFF with Hilary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. Karen Finney will make sure that Palmieri does not have to do her job alone. The former MSNBC host is poised to be a senior spokeswoman and communications adviser.
Mandy Grunwald will tell you that you have spinach in your teeth. As a senior adviser and media consultant for the campaign, Grunwald has been tapped to shape the message that Clinton communicates to voters this year, ensuring that neither leafy greens nor social gaffes get in her way. The experienced operative has the right credentials for the job. She advised the Clintons for over two decades, counseled Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts in her 2012 senate campaign, and has a sparkling smile.
We show our truest selves to our most trusted friends, and Kristina Schake is determined that Hillary Clinton reveals hers to Americans nationwide. As her deputy communications director, Schake will encourage Clinton to open up to voters around the country. The former top aide to first lady Michelle Obama has been known to embolden her bosses before. During her tenure in the White House, Schake inspired the first lady to debut her dance moves on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and make a cameo at the Oscars. But the seasoned professional is not all antics. Anita Dunn, a former White House communications director, called her "an island of tranquility and calm when everything is going crazy."
[As Michael Eckman taught us in 10 Things I Hate About You, the audiovisual geeks know how to navigate high school. And Clinton could not have found a keener guide than Stephanie Hannon. Together with digital director and longtime Clinton ally Katie Dowd and deputy digital director Jenna Lowenstein, the former Google executive will be the chief technology officer of the campaign, managing a team of engineers and developers to generate new ways to reach voters.
Bonus points: Hannon will be the first woman to hold her title on a major presidential campaign.
Mark Zuckerberg and Kimmy Schmidt prove it: Nerds are cool. On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton added three to her expert outfit. The veteran wonks—Jake Sullivan, Ann O'Leary, and Maya Harris—will head up her policy team. O'Leary, a onetime legislative director to the Clinton senate office, specializes in early childhood education. And newcomer Harris—a law professor and a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress—is a voluble advocate for women of color and human rights. Both of them made the honor roll, duh.
A queen bee does not ask just any friend to share a Chipotle burrito bowl. Which is why when Clinton stopped in at a local Chipotle last week, it was longtime aide Huma Abedin who stood by her side. We hope the vice chairwoman of the campaign ordered extra guacamole. That's true friendship.
As in high school, so, too, in campaigns: loyalty is crucial. Given that, it's no surprise that Clinton still has BFFs Neera Tanden and Cheryl Mills on speed dial. Before being named president of the Center for American Progress, Tanden worked on both Clinton's 2000 senate race and her 2008 presidential run. Mills and Hill have an even longer history. The lawyer has followed the Clintons from the White House to the State Department to the Clinton Foundation.
While neither has an official title on this campaign, odds are that Tanden and Mills will continue to hang out in Hillaryland.
