Clinton Word Salad: Says Nothing Will Derail Her Path
From Politico
Clinton: 'I am sure' that there are no damaging emails
Close your eyes when you play this and just listen to the words... is it just me, or is this ever-so-slightly Palin-esque?
I am sure, and I am sure because I have a very strong foundation of understanding about the foundation—not to have a play on words—that the kind of work the foundation has done which attracted donors from around the world is work that went right into providing services to people,"
Yeah, I've been reading about 'services' to 'people' this summer.
Remember, Bill and Hill and Chel have taken not one penny for their good works for the Foundation (although, somehow, some donors to the Foundation who received positive treatment from the State Department under Secretary Clinton also seemed to have made separate contributions -in the guise of speaking fees- to former President Clinton).
For the record, I'm less sure than she is that there are no damaging emails.
In other news...
Also from Politico:
GOP plots early wake-up call for Clinton
Looking past Election Day, Republicans sketch plan to stymie a President Hillary Clinton agenda.
If she wins the presidency, Clinton would likely enjoy the shortest honeymoon period of any incoming commander-in-chief in recent history, according to Washington strategists, confronting major roadblocks to enacting her ambitious agenda, as well as Republican attacks that have been muted courtesy of the GOP nominee.“It will be the defining fact of her presidency,” Jonathan Cowan, president of the moderate think tank Third Way, said of Clinton's problem of entering office with a divided Congress. “It’s unprecedented."
Comments
It is a bit word saladish, although at least she has enough
awareness to take that pause and say "not to have a play on words," which Sarah Babblin never would have done.
So now the Repugs want to elect Her Heinous, and then make sure she can do nothing? Interesting.

Small edit makes it truly Palinesque
Who's to say this isn't what she meant?
“He may not have gotten the words out but the thoughts were great.”
Reduce sources of funding that raised questions?
If the questions were not valid, why do anything? If they were valid, how about eliminating those sources of funding, rather than just reducing them?
Politicians are too damned skilled at framing and word choices. She should have said the Foundation would eliminate questionable sources of funding. But, the way she phrased it, faulting what she said is more difficult.
Not Sarah Palin--more like Michelle Bachmann
In 33 seconds HRC managed to lie, confuse and admit ignorance. I am impressed. Actually, I am depressed.
It's the Right Wing Conspiracy--no, it's the Russians--no, it's just about AIDs and aids, the latter being to my personal wealth.
Now let's talk about my platform--fellow Americans, I am the Not Trump.
But how does Hillary's weight compare to that of.......
........ a duck?

I am not Trump, only Trump's friend of many years.
I have not heard Hillary accuse Trump of much that he cannot accuse her of.
On this morning's talking head shows, we were confronted with the false equivalency of Trump's not having provided any personal tax returns versus the possibility that the Clintons got rich by peddling the powers of the United States Department of State, funded by taxpayers.
#JillnotHill
The FBI has admitted that Hillary used software for making sure
that her deleted emails would not be recoverable.
I'm pretty sure that is the definition of INTENT that Comey said that Hillary wasn't guilty of.
Hiding and obfuscation of her private email detailing yoga classes and Chelsea's wedding.
Good lord, what does she have to be caught doing before she is charged with criminal intent?
People say that there isn't a smoking gun on her using the state department's actions to pad both Bill's pockets and the foundations, but I disagree. The fact that Chelsea had access to the email server is proof enough for me to show that she accessed it so that Bill would know where Hillary had state department business and he would be there to give a paid speech before Hillary did whatever she was in the area to do.
Then there's all the information about Sidney Bluementhal being in Libya and Sudan and sending Hillary classified information about business deals that would profit the foundation.
And the NSA said that he stole classified information from them and sent it to Hillary. If that is true, then why wasn't he charged? Did the state department lean on the NSA? How else to explain how he got away with that?
I'm so disgusted by all of the democrats and Hillary's supporters who have turned a blind eye to the corruption of the Clintons! And hiding behind the but Trump is worse bullshit. I don't think he would be able to do half of the things he says he will do. Which joe pointed out in the EBs tonight.
If this was a republican team doing these things, I'm sure that they would have a problem with what the Clintons have done, don't you?

Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.
Here's the thing - no one's gotten her under oath about
the deletion of the yoga poses, Chelsea's wedding, and arms for contributions to the Foundation emails yet. And I'm not aware that JW or any of the media are in court attempting to compel this. Nor did the oversight committee (that I recall) venture that far into the question... Point being, we don't know if Clinton has the first clue about how her servers were wiped and whether or not that was with a cloth. I am under the impression that it happened at the direction of her attorneys, which I would imagine means that it was contracted out to people who specialize in bleach-bitting (that's a verb, yes?). So, intent would be easy to prove on the part of whomever order the bleach-bitting, but that may not actually be Clinton, herself, I'm guessing.
Bluementhal is certainly creepy, and I sure hope the FBI got a good deal on what they cut with him (not charging him was part of his deal, I believe).
EVERY part of this is disgusting.
I have not figured out what roles Chelsea played in all this, but her having access to the server can't be above board.

If Chelsea had access to the state department's emails
which were on the Clintonone email server, which parts of the emails did she have access to and if there weren't any restrictions on what she could read, did she have the security clearance to read the emails? How would we ever know what she was able to access? I'm sure that the FBI didn't ask Hillary anything about this.
And what deal are you saying he got? I'm not aware that he was ever questioned.
Do you have any information or links?

Pagliano's deal w/ FBI is under seal apparently
http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/03/politics/hillary-clinton-email-server-brya...
https://www.yahoo.com/news/justice-dept-opposes-release-clinton-aides-im...
I can't find anything which definitively says that, but that's really the last we heard about it was that he wanted it sealed.
As far as I know, the public does not know what Chelsea does or does not know about the server or it's contents.

And where IS Pagliano?

She will be under oath in JW#1
it's in writing, not a deposition, but her written answers to jw's written questions will be under oath.
Yes, finally! However...
There is a very narrow scope for the line of questioning the judge is allowing, and it's limited to why's about setting up the server (am not sure if how's are also within the scope, perhaps so)... She trial-ballooned about blaming Powell, and he pushed back quite publicly - dunno if that was testing the waters for what she can get away with in the interrogatories...
At any rate, I am all but certain that they will not be (able to get away with) asking her about the destruction of the emails. Perhaps I am wrong. (I still need to read the opinion which went along with that ruling).
My recollection is that they said (or strongly hinted) they would have the interrogatories delivered by the end of the month (this coming week!).
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
WTF?
In writing?
Why, so her lawyers can write the answers for her? How is it that she's allowed to wrangle out of a live deposition? (Same way she wrangles out of any public appearance these days, I suppose) ...
which will be what transpires
it's disappointing, but it is SOMETHING. And whatever it is will stand in for her testimony...

I found what they are allowed to ask
From the Opinion:
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
Interrogatories under oath are a straight line to deposition
under oath, if Judge Sullivan finds evidence of stone-walling or actual contradictions with previous statements such as during her campaign (not under oath but perhaps a gateway to further questions in deposition) or if her interrogatories produce factual contradictions, or just plain obfuscation, such as those given to the Benghazi panels, as to provide further grounds for a regular deposition.
Even so - may not happen ahead of 11/8 at this rate
we'll see. Hopefully JW submits questions in the next couple days.

Hillary's comments seeming more and more unhinged to me.
Amen, sister!
The very fact that Hillary says there is nothing further to come out about the Foundation, means of course in Clinton-speak that THERE SURELY IS! She's just trying to per-emptively discredit whatever it is she knows is coming! Good for Trump for going after her, and she's trying to label him a "wacko". She needs to look in a mirror!
The talking heads talk about "proof" today was annoying.
It's a ludicrous framing.
She is not on trial for a crime. She wants to be President. Proof is not the standard. If it looks bad and smells bad, that's more than enough. People who demand proof of a politician's wrongdoing when the issue is a vote, not a criminal sentence, miss the point--or want us to miss the point.
First, the average voter has no way of obtaining proof; the D of J bizarrely punted to the FBI and the FBI lied about intent. And they're all Democrats looking at the Democratic Presidential nominee. What the hell does anyone expect? A special prosecutor should have been appointed.
Besides, the nature of the wink wink transaction is that there is never proof. Do we really expect Hillary to have sent a memo "confirming that, in light of your contribution to the Clinton Foundation and payment of speaking frees to Bill or Chelsea Clinton, the State Department will be fulfilling your request as soon as possible. The Clinton family thanks you for your business." And then to keep that memo handy in case anyone files an FOIA request or gets a subpoena?
BTW, what ambitious agenda
do the republicans think that Hillary is going to be pushing for?
Do they actually believe what she said that she was going to do about making college more affordable? Or any of the other things that she stole from Bernie's speeches?
Yes whatever she said does sound a lot like what Palin would say..
Palin talks like that because I don't think she is very smart.
Hillary does it to make sure that she doesn't answer the question.
Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.
Not that agenda.
The agenda where she pushes republican things.
Also, as well (palinesque) when a President is done
he/she loses access to State secrets? They get Secret Service for life, but daily briefings are done, caput for clearance? So it's not just Chelsea, it is Bill also. Unless W. gets all info, too, right? And GHWB and Carter. We think Carter is out of the loop?

I left a comment a while back re Clinton word salad.
So I definitely agree with you. And I'd really appreciate an explanation of the whole "short circuit" thing
I wonder when she is planning to clarify, BTW. When h*ll freezes over, I'm sure ...
Her speciality is to try to make some factually true statement when she is asked a difficult question. She doesn't actually answer the question, she just makes a barely related comment that is usually factually true. Then her fans say, "How can you say that there is anything wrong with what she said?" ... and if you only look at WHAT she said, she looks fine.
Wallace showed video of her making 3 false statements, and then asked her to respond to the American public. She simply did a nice tap dance, ignores the question, and her supporters do not give a shit at all.
And if she DOES manage to get elected, she is surely going to have the honor of being impeached right along with hubby. HRC, you go girl!
~OaWN
A double impeachment would be historical.
But not worth the time and aggravation. First female Pres, impeached does have a nice first scent.

Not. This. Woman.

It would certainly add a new ring to the word "legacy".
They would be so very memorable if/when they were both impeached.
Another strange thought just came to me: Presidential libraries. Could they both share Bill's. I'm sure the answer is "Hell NO!" of course. First president with a vagina will for sure insist on building her own library ...
~OaWN
Does he HAVE a library?
The Clinton Foundation monies were supposed to be for a library the ways the charter was written - did they ever even build one?

I knew he had one, I had seen a picture but from a different
angle. The 2nd link you gave has a pretty attractive image, I think.
But I just assumed that he had one, because they seem all have one. I kind of love that the first link has tripadvisor quotes on it. That just seems a little trashy to me. Nothing wrong with tripadvisor, I love it. But it's almost like an infomercial for them, right on the home page. Reminds me of when they rented out the Lincoln bedroom. Now I'm even wondering if they might be getting some kind of compensation from the tripadvisor folks, lol.

TripAdvisor + the feature info on the museum store
It really does look like an infomercial. I wonder if they sell blue dresses...
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
My recollection about the 'short circuiting' is that she seemed
to use the phrase to mean that she did not explain her answer fully... As I recall, she later pointed out that there was a longer sequence of information, A happened, then B, which led to C, and then to D (I don't recall the details), but when she told it, the sequence she used was A and then D... so she short-circuited the series of steps which transpired, but she was claiming that D did come about from A, just not directly.
That's how I understood her to be using that term. It was inelegant.
It was also arrogant. She wants people to accept WITHOUT QUESTION whatever she offers up as explanation.

Thx MsGrin, I guess I was being a bit snarky
I did kind of get what she was saying, I just found the phrasing to be so odd. Using the word short-circuit rather makes me think she is telling us that she is a robot. Human beings don't short-circuit, only machines do that.
~OaWN
It WAS odd
and I'm not sure I got it right. I think it was a poor word choice as much as anything. Hard to know what she means whenever she opens her mouth, but I think this was just an unfortunate utterance rather than something with new information in it.

Normally you'd use a term
Normally you'd use a term like that in saying something along the lines of that you'd short-circuited an investigation or other potential issue. Wonder why it would leap to Hillary's mind in this case, if she meant what was suggested...

In the case of Medusa, short-circuit is an apt term
A seizure is an electrical short-circuit in the brain. I have maintained for weeks that Medusa has at least one type of seizure. In this case we don't need "logical" analysis, we need independent medical analysis--certainly not from Dr. Bardack's letter 18 months ago.
Media collusion is a big part of the problem.
Her statements are not always factual. For example, "I've tried to tell the truth." Hattip to Yoda, there is no trying, only doing or not doing. Either she always said what she honestly believed at that moment to be true or she has lied on occasion. If media would ask the right follow up questions, she would have been toast long ago.
You can't derail a path!
Sorry to go all English-major here, but one of the two discernible differences between Hillary and Trump (that puts Hillary in a good light, anyway)is her style. Not that it's a good speaking style, but it makes her look like a competent, intelligent professional, contrasted to Trump's more demagogue-meets-pro-wrestler mien.
Is it too much to ask that her (probably highly-paid) speechwriters do their job well?

Her speechwriters are products of the Idiocracy
that "education" in American has become. Nothing about grammar, nothing about proper spelling, nothing about logic, nothing about common sense, even - just make sure the words come driveling out in an even stream and sound good.
The Idiocracy is everywhere. Here too.
Anyone who uses "would of" or "should of" instead of "would have, should have" is a product of the Idiocracy.
Anyone who can't tell the difference between "its" (possessive) and "it's" (contraction of "it is") is a product of the Idiocracy.
Anyone who can't tell the difference between "were" (past tense of "to be") and "where" (location) is a product of the Idiocracy.
Anyone who can't tell the difference among "their" (possessive), "they're" (contraction of "they are") and "there" (location) is a product of the Idiocracy.
Whole lot of people ought to sue the Department of (Mis)Education for wasting their and their parents' (and in some cases their grandparents') tax money.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
"Loose" and "Lose" is one of the ones that gets me.
Though "its" and "it's" is equally maddening.

Save your sanity until after HRC gets elected--

Although
there is some number of us (talking about myself, and I'm not alone!) who write to one degree or another through 'hearing' in our heads and type on auto pilot which doesn't always transcribe correctly what we are hearing of the thoughts. I know the differences you point out quite well, but when I am concentrating on an argument I am formulating, I find that I have not infrequently typed homonyms to the word I intend. There's a disconnect in my brain, and it's not from an absence of training. I am also a lousy speller, which seems to be genetic in one side of my family. Didn't figure out I've got ADD until middle age - this is one way I see it play out.

I put in great effort to make sure any essays that i write are written correctly.
For my comments? I skim. I try to fix the glaring and obvious, but have a mental timer going, and if it takes too much time and I think it's good enough, I move on. And I don't always even skim.

You are right, CStS
It is a great article and goes into great detail about how the whole CGI and its many offshoots don't actually do anything.
If you go to the foundation's website to see where the money is going, it reads like a word salad. No break down of where the money is actually helping people get housing, food or jobs, just things like 'we help women become self actualizing or some other bullshit statement.

I'm just gonna leave this here.
I found it last night. Fantastic article by Glenn Greenwald:
Word.
I miss Colorado.
My biggest problem with the Clintons is their refusal to
acknowledge what they are. They're grifters that have made a fortune by abusing the system and hurting the least among us. Like Greenwald said, they hide behind this cloak of moral superiority and public service, but when it really comes down to the fine details, they've done reprehensible things in the name of personal profit and political gamesmanship.
They should just change the name of the Clinton Foundation to Clinton Inc. and be honest about who they are.
You can't expect anyone to announce he or she is a grifter.
