| Eric Trump questions Clintons' enormous wealth: ‘What product were they selling?' |
| 2016-09-03 |
| [Wash Times] Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's son Eric Trump questioned Friday how Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton became enormously wealthy running a charity, which has become the focus of the campaign's allegation of pay-to-play corruption while she was secretary of state. "The question I always ask is, what product were they selling? If we make a buck, we sold a bottle of wine or an apartment, or we sold a hotel room. What product were they selling to make $150 million," Mr. Trump said on Fox News... "Fox & Friends." Host Ainsley Earhardt suggested: "Favors? The government?" "Of course," responded Mr. Trump, who works on the campaign for his billionaire businessman father. "This is the leadership we have in this country. Somebody sets up a foundation. They pocket hundreds of millions of dollars. They say they come out of the White House ’dead broke.’ Now they are worth $150 million," he said. |

| #7 What if she has concluded that becoming POTUS is the only way to avoid jail? One of the key reasons why Caesar crossed the Rubicon was that he had been summoned to Rome by the government: he knew, they knew, everyone knew that by coming to Rome without his army, he'd be arrested and charged with some crime by his enemies. Didn't matter that everyone else was doing what he had done. Caesar couldn't run for counsel and couldn't be a tribune, the only ways to gain exemption from prosecution. So he crossed the Rubicon. Hillary doesn't have a formal army behind her. But she does have the Foundation, all the people who owe her, and all the people who have purchased her favor. That's an army of sorts. She's running for POTUS because in part that's the only way to stay out of prison. But it's not the only way. And she does have an army. |

| #5 Well, there's always self imposed exile. Just think of all the celebrities she can have around her, without dealing with messy day to day stuff interfering. As for making money, I understand accessing advance technology, like missile launching and satellite know how can bring a dime or two. |

| #4 I think we may all be reading Hillary wrong. What if she has concluded that becoming POTUS is the only way to avoid jail? |
