monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

... those countries... which aren't governed by the universal US-law.

First, you obviously are discussing former US politicians; so you would have to show that you could find two honest people within that group.

And then, if you did, the answer would of course be NO, it is not possible because US politicians are hired to keep the propaganda flow going, not tell the truth.

Does anyone here believe that two honest people could make $100 million in 15 years just by giving speeches?

First, who has made that claim? They obviously have investment portfolios, they have both written books, likely Bill has done consulting work, etc.

Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck make about that much money in four years. Sarah Palin made 12 million in the first year or two after walking away from the governorship.

Quote:

An anonymous characterization of a sentence isn't evidence. If this really happened, why, after all this investigation, are there no hard facts, no witnesses willing to testify?

Of course it is "evidence", it is just not nearly adequate to establish the truth of things. Much other evidence will be required to resolve what happened.

In any case, at this point it is a bit silly to argue about this. Investigations by the relevant justice/intel/congressional bodies are underway along with the work reporters are doing (as happened with the Watergate fiasco which took about two years in total). Perhaps you are or want to argue that the press shouldn't be covering these matters but it is often the case that such reporting is absolutely necessary to force matters into the open and to force deeper levels of investigation from authorities (again, as with Watergate).

Weren't they, in fact, repeatedly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for speeches, many by foreign groups?

Clinton Cash

In the new documentary “Clinton Cash,” it becomes all too clear how the former first couple went from rags to filthy rich — with the emphasis on filthy.

The documentary is based on a book by former Hoover Institution fellow Peter Schweizer and was just screened during the Cannes Film Festival. It is set to be shown in major US cities, including Philadelphia during the Democratic National Convention there in July.

Schweizer’s research has withstood a year of intense scrutiny from critics because it is fact, not fiction. And the facts are compelling

She and her ex-president husband sold out to titans, dictators and shady characters in Nigeria, Congo, Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates, not to mention at Goldman Sachs and TD Bank....

Here’s another example of the pair’s lucrative shenanigans. TD Bank never engaged Bill Clinton to speak during his first eight years out of the White House. But in 2009, four days after Hillary was nominated as secretary of state, Bill made the first of a string of speeches for which TD paid almost $2 million. An astounding amount.

And guess what? TD Bank was the single largest shareholder in the Keystone XL pipeline, which required State Department approval. Lo and behold, Hillary Clinton decided to support the pipeline — a heresy to environmentalists — and delayed the Obama administration’s rejection of it.

Does anyone here believe that two honest people could make $100 million in 15 years just by giving speeches?

...they haven't been formally accused of any crime, let alone indicted. Maybe they are being protected by some unseen network of supporters within the law enforcement community? Sounds a bit far-fetched.

I haven't read or seen anyone applauding [Gianforte's] behavior, and certainly not Trump.

It's as if government employees in every department and area have all joined in on a fad [leaking]

We wouldn't "expect" our highest law enforcement officials to be corrupt in that way. Well, maybe not 30 years ago, anyway.

Donald Trump's son-in-law attempted to set up secret communications with Moscow a month after Mr Trump's election, US media say.

Jared Kushner wanted to use Russian facilities to avoid US interception of discussions with Moscow, the Washington Post and New York Times said.

Did they claim to have made this money from book sales?

And those must have been some fantastic investments. Hillary described them as being in financial straits when Bill left office. Weren't they, in fact, repeatedly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for speeches, many by foreign groups?

WikiLeaks List Exposes At Least 65 Corporate ‘Presstitutes’ Who Colluded to Hide Clinton’s Crimes

Montana's a solid Republican state and 40% of the ballots had already been cast. The assault would have had a limited effect and massive infusions of outside money bankrolling one candidate often inspire voters to choose the opponent. Quist's loss was disappointing but not all that surprising. In any case Gianforte exhibited the sort of behavior that confirms the low expectations of anti-rightists everywhere — a wealthy man, a pro-family conservative, a young earth creationist who just happens to be a thug. Of course people will vote for him...the Trumpenproletariat loves that sort of guy.

I haven't got to that story yet this morning but so long as he doesn't have a private email server, what the hell.

In the case of Watergate

Look, you can find out where the Clinton's income comes from with a simple google search.

How stupid does someone have to be to completely gloss over the ever-unfolding, ocean-sized cesspool of Trump conflicts of interest, corruption and greed and rather than give any attention at all to that, just keep up a constant blathering spew of imaginary Clinton/Obama offenses? How deranged, how deluded, and just how ******* stupid?
Don't worry about it. I feel much better just having asked the rhetorical.

It's like a bad dream and you can't wake up. Apparently his supporters are sheep.

Two men have been killed as they tried to stop a man abusing two women who appeared to be Muslim, police in the US city of Portland say.
The abusive man turned on the two men and fatally stabbed them, police said.
The incident happened on a commuter train. Another passenger was wounded before the attacker was arrested.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations urged President Trump to speak out against increasing Islamophobia in the US.
It accused the president of exacerbating the trend with his statements and policies.
The attack took place at about 16:30 local time (00:30 GMT) on a train at Hollywood Transit Station, police said in a statement. One of the victims died at the scene, the other died in hospital.
Police have identified the suspect as Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35. He has been charged with offences including aggravated murder, attempted murder, intimidation and being a felon in possession of a restricted weapon.
"Suspect was on the train and he was yelling and ranting and raving a lot of different things, including what would be characterised as hate speech or biased language," said Sgt Pete Simpson.
"In the midst of his ranting and raving, some people approached him, appeared to try to intervene with his behaviour. Some of the people that he was yelling at, they were attacked viciously by the suspect, resulting in the two deaths and one injury."

Jeremy Joseph Christian was arrested shortly after he got off the train. The two women he was abusing - one of whom was said by eyewitnesses to have been wearing a headscarf - left the scene before police could speak to them.
However one of the girls' parents later told the Oregonian newspaper that they were teenagers, one black and one Muslim.
Dyjuana Hudson said the attacker "was saying that Muslims should die. That they've been killing Christians for years".
