Fox News reports:
Just hours after Hillary Clinton dodged a question at the final presidential debate about charges of "pay to play" at the Clinton Foundation, a new batch of WikiLeaks emails surfaced with stunning charges that the candidate herself was at the center of negotiating a $12 million commitment from King Mohammed VI of Morocco.
One of the more remarkable parts of the charge is that the allegation came from Clinton's loyal aide, Huma Abedin, who described the connection in a January 2015 email exchange with two top advisers to the candidate, John Podesta and Robby Mook.
Abedin wrote that "this was HRC's idea" for her to speak at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative in Morocco in May 2015 as an explicit condition for the $12 million commitment from the king. "She created this mess and she knows it," Abedin wrote to Podesta and Mook.
A top official at the Clinton Foundation said he could name
“500 different examples” of conflicts of interest, including some involving
former President Bill Clinton, according to more of the e-mails purportedly
hacked from the account of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.
The official,
Doug Band, allegedly wrote on Nov. 17, 2011, that he had been required to sign
a conflict-of-interest statement as a board member of the foundation’s Clinton
Global Initiative, but that the former president “oddly” didn’t have to sign
one “even though he is personally paid by 3 cgi sponsors, gets many expensive
gifts from them, some that are at home etc”.
Some of the left's most influential voices and groups are
taking offense at the way they and their causes were discussed behind their
backs by Clinton and some of her closest advisers in the emails, which swipe
liberal heroes and causes as "puritanical," "pompous",
"naive", "radical" and "dumb," calling some
"freaks," who need to "get a life."
Goodwill for
Clinton, as well as confidence in key advisers featured in the emails including John
Podesta, Neera Tanden and Jake Sullivan, is eroding as WikiLeaks continues to
release a daily stream of thousands of emails hacked from Podesta's Gmail
account that is expected to continue until Election Day.
Hillary
Clinton may have revealed classified information on U.S. nuclear strike
capabilities during Wednesday night’s debate.
The Twitterverse was aflame in the hours after Wednesday
night's debate with questions about whether or not Hillary Clinton divulged
classified information about the country's nuclear arsenal.
"There's about
four minutes between the order being given and the people responsible for
launching nuclear weapons to do so," Clinton said, explaining the quick
decision-making required of a commander in chief and questioning Donald Trump's
fitness for the job.
But questions soon began to emerge about whether Clinton
was too specific in her description of nuclear launch times and had perhaps
revealed something she learned in a classified setting.
