    The USA is as corrupt as any African ****-hole and the amounts involved are huge.

    USA Oligarchs are no less corrupt than Russian Oligarchs as evidenced by the lowest common denominator, Donald Trump.

    Yeah right.

    That’s right wing math right there.

    Honestly, the responses here is not surprising. The right doesn’t care about ethics, or the law, unless they are talking about a liberal. The rights only concerns is hatred for the left. Your position is noted.

    No law was broken. Non-story.

    What if foreign money was found to fund the Parkland survivor rallies? Would you so callously dismiss the issue? Based on your avatar, of course I can predict the answer.

    "If it isn't illegal who cares"

    Ok, but there are ethics and morality issues at play here.

    Grow the **** up, rightists. You people are so insane.

    Story.

    No law was broken when Clinton got his prick sucked in the WH - but he was impeached.

    Sanctimonious insanity, I swear.

    You're making assumptions. What if someone steals your car this morning? There is no evidence that foreign money went to campaigns.

    Ha! At first I thought this was going to be about how the Clinton Foundation moved money and accepted "donations" when Hilarity was Secretary of State! Did the NRA break the law? If the answer is "yes" let charges be brought forth by legal authorities. If the answer is "no" then what is all this but another Left-wing attempt to smear sh*t on an organization that it hates.

    The old command issued to their children by dismissive parents comes to mind -- "Don't do as I do, but do as I say!"

    Similar to how Planned Parenthood only uses government money for non-abortion services so you guys don’t have any more problems with government money going to PP right?

    Sorry to get off-topic slightly, but your post needs to be corrected when you say, "Hillary said she never sent a classified email, and they never proved she did...." Even the liberal Washington Post reported this: "Clinton, on her private server, wrote 104 emails the government says are classified". There are many other stories all over the internet that say the same thing, but I thought you on the Left would appreciate it more if you heard it from your beloved "WashPo".... :nana:

    When/if there is ever an honest, legitimate investigation of the crimes this reckless, corrupt moron committed against national security and classified information, we may get to find out how many total emails containing classified information she sent. But we KNOW she CREATED AND SENT at least 104 of them!

    You mean like the right did to Hillary ?

    I've always respected you as a poster here poly, and this is not directed at you personally, but there are a lot of posters here who keep saying "no law was broken", then post some other age old Clinton accusation with seeing the irony in that accusation. The Clintons have been more than thoroughly investigated and no charges were brought. So when I post about Citizens United and foreign campaign money, and the fact that Obama and the dems tried to tell everyone that CU would allow this to happen, they instantly jump to defend it because its the NRA, or because its a perceived right wing group.

    I don't want to re-hash this, but you left out the part where the DOJ and even the authors of the article pointed out that the emails in question were not classified when they were sent or received. Meaning no law was broken.

    I'm just happy to point out Left's hypocrisy... if the law is broken, the guilty 'be brought to justice.

    I appreciate your comments, and I do also despair that many of us, on the Left and Right, are prone to making broad, sweeping statements and pronouncements without anything to back them up. More than anything else, especially in a political climate where we are so divided into factions that literally seem to hate each other, it is vitally important to be fair!

    That's why I've said concerning all the "Russia collusion" talk, that if Trump can legitimately be charged with crimes, let him be charged, tried by Congress, and if guilty, impeached and removed! Rule of Law above all! And, that's why I also say that if the NRA (in which I have membership) has committed crimes, let those within the organization be charged, tried, and if convicted, punished according to law. Once again, Rule of Law above all!

    But, truly, Hillary Clinton was never investigated impartially, thoroughly, or according to accepted standards for either the FBI or the Justice Department. She and the Clinton Foundation should be investigated now, since it never was done professionally before. Lastly, again, Rule of Law above all!

    "FBI investigators reviewed the 30,000 emails Clinton turned over to the State Department in 2014. The investigation found "a very small number" contained classification markings at the time they were sent"

    http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...ndings-tear-holes-hillary-clintons-email-def/

    Whut is it with you Liberals having short, selective memory? I bet, you do not even remember Ted the 700LB Democrat guerrilla Kennedy colluding with russkies against the US president Ronald Reagan...

    The government stated that the emails did, indeed, contain classified information. The criteria examined cover whether classified information was generated on, received on, transmitted from, or re-transmitted from secure telecommunication assets on a government-approved network. Her home server did not meet those requirements at all. At the very least, her home server would have had to have been completely secured within a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility), but it wasn't. Neither were any of her portable computer devices. She should have been at the very least charged with crimes against national security and classified information, but she wasn't.

    Back to the NRA... if this organization, of which I am a long-standing member, has broken any laws, I want those who are suspects to be charged and given a fair trial. Rule of Law must be above all -- for all of us!

    If congress has given NRA special treatment within the 893 million pages of the federal register as passed legislation, which congress so frequently does for special interests, unions, and wealthy individuals (e.g. Zuckerberg, Gates) with massive lobbying power and campaign contribution power, THEN IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL

    That's how it works back in the USA. That's how the families and cronies of the people in the congress get so rich.

    I'm angry when ethics and morals are not a matter of consideration for our rightist friends as long as it scores political points. That goes for the left, also.

    Your entire notion is a flawed and failed premise. Just because it's legal doesn't mean its right, or OUGHT to be legal; in addition, just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's moral, or that it OUGHT to be illegal.

    You ****ing rightists are so concerned about coloring inside the lines you can't even be bothered to consider the larger picture.

    The NRA did not wrong, nothing illegal, and there is no evidence that they did. So what the hell are you so mad about? You seem to possibly have anger issues.
