#1 I recall somebody saying that the Foundation has another problem. All those quids....where are the quos coming from.
I believe one of the big money treasurers of the Russian mafia put a lot of the loot with Bernie Madoff.

#2 I doubt the Clinton coupon will be honored after the 20 January 2017 expiration date.

#3 Experts also said Trump couldn't be elected.

Have they wiped out the Mafia or any other criminal organization that just doesn't change spots in one manner or another?

Power and corruption will always be there, thus eternal vigilance (which becomes boring and loose and infected).

#4 As I understand it, this case is being pursued under a grand jury originally appointed by NYPD, which is well-experienced with prosecuting RICO cases. Whatever other sins the Clinton Foundation may have committed, it is probably safe to say that their activities met the RICO standard. The only question is: can "the legal system" withstand the massive pressure from the entrenched Clinton Cartel, and actually obtain arrest warrants, leading to convictions.

My gut feel is: that is a "bridge too far" - but we can only hope for such intestinal fortitude.

#5 Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who is vice chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, said the Clinton Foundation should reform itself or go out of business. “The foundation should be given an opportunity to either to come into compliance with the law or shut their doors,” she said

Well, Pence HAS replaced Christie on the transition team.

#8 The question becomes: how do you peddle influence if you no longer have influence?
That will decide the issue.
