Of course not. You could get a God to certify that she is the daughter of satan and will lead the world to hell and they'd still vote for her. Why? Because she is a liberal and she has a vagina.

Fuck, 71% of libtards say they'd vote for her even if she were indicted. That tells you all you need to know.

I'm not a big Hillary fan, but you need to remember that indicted != convicted.

What do you think of the Trump University lawsuits?

Civil Suits don't follow the same innocent till proven guilty. Often even if the claims the plaintiffs make are absolutely true, it doesn't mean there is a civil recourse for it. Just from the playbook alone, its obvious what Trump University is, but I don't fault Trump specifically for that as almost all for profit schools are like this.

If anything he has made it worse by trying to double down on it and saying he wants to reopen it after that playbook came out.

lol +1 I like that.

It is absolutely true that one of the Saudi's royal family (who number around five or six thousand if memory serves and who as a group are not exactly known for truthfulness, veracity or sanity) said that. The possibility that it is true is exactly inversely proportional to that chance of him saying it. Not saying that whack jobs don't find the occasional acorn, but not acorns of that magnitude.

Russia loves conspiracy theories about American politics, while completely ignoring their own absolutely staggering corruption, which is eating them alive.
Because NOT completely ignoring their own absolutely staggering corruption will cause them to assume room temperature.

I think I've seen enough solid evidence that he won't get a judgement in his favor.

That said, I'm less concerned about the lawsuit than I am his remarks about the judge who is seeing the case.

If an indictment took place under these circumstances the evidence would have to be overwhelming.

But not concerned that it appears Hillary set up her private server solely to thwart FOIA requests? There really is no other reason she would have done it.

I'm sure there is some Saudi money in there somewhere, probably for Trump too. But saying it's 20% is simply insane. I'd bet money that 1% would be an exaggeration. There are simply far too many other interests buying favor for any illegal source to make up such a significant portion. Obviously the Chinese and Indonesian money was huge for Bill Clinton in '96, but that's very unusual; he was very unpopular, just after a Republican tidal wave. Hillary is pretty unpopular, but she's running at time when even Republicans hate the Republican Party and vice versa. She is very popular with the people who buy elections, she will raise over a billion from legitimate sources, so she's anything but desperate, and she already has plenty of legal problems so she doesn't need another.

It was apparently from the Prince's mouth.

A fool and their money are soon parted? I mean honestly, there is no better reply than that quote alone. There is no clause when going into any University or School in general that you will be guaranteed massive wealth by simply attending a class. Never has, never will be. Getting a degree in Psychology/Sociology/Feminist studies/Communications doesn't equal a middle class job does it? Though students these days will certainly come out acting like it does.

The fact that the Donald did that over some expensive handbag or shoes doesn't really matter.

How many us corporate news sources would publish that? And dare piss of the saudis?

Here you guys go, we'll link to this if it gets you out of your safe spaces.

Of course it was "hackers".

You mean like posting articles like this about things the Saudis have actually made threats about?

Off topic
Have you read your posts lately? Have you taken a step back to read what it is you are writing? You really should. Your level of craziness and paranoia has reached a new high. I remember when you used to make fun of posters like you and here you are, right up there with the craziest of them.
You need help and I say that with 100% sincerity. Please get help.

As always, the basic premises underlying your conspiracy theories are absurd.

Hackers or impossible conspiracy theory based on a statement that can't be confirmed?

Yeh, it's obvious that you hate Hillary with the burning heat of 1000 suns & believe it to be rational. OTOH, you demean yourself in throwing up obvious propaganda like this as justification. It's really weak sauce.

I had just assumed people were aware of this, but it's unlikely you would win that bet.

This is old, but the Clinton Foundation is not transparent in the least. The Saudis have a long history of supporting Hillary. There are many articles linking the Clintons to Saudi, Yemen, Kuwait, etc.

The Saudis have a long history of supporting US VIPs.

It's how they get money, weapons, and the strongest patron on the planet.

Sorry, but if I told you I'm afraid you'd find a way to fuck that up too.

+1

It what he does, just to do it apparently.

The US government has been propping up the Saudi's in general since the 1950's when oil was found there, not sure why people act surprised about it like it is something new.

There is a reason the Royal Family there numbers in the thousands and are filthy rich.

Since Trump is "self funding" his campaign, does that mean all the foreign money he has received as part of his business is now funding his campaign... does he have any Arab money! Oh damn Trump is a terrorist supporter now running a campaign funded by terrorist countries.
