“Hillary Clinton is in a pretty strong spot right now in the campaign given the repeated missteps by Trump and quite frankly if I’m her it may not be a bad thing to let Donald Trump be the only candidate making news on any given day”, said GOP strategist Ryan Williams, a veteran of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaigns.

Donald Trump has made a bold statement against Hillary Clinton, calling her a “bigot” who’s only out for votes. Doesn’t that mean he is calling for an investigation of himself?
Former President Bill Clinton, who founded their family’s organization, announced last week that it would no longer accept corporate or foreign donations, and that he would step down from the board. “These are people I was proud to meet with, who any secretary of state would have been proud to meet with to hear about their work and their insight”. “He is bringing it to our communities and our country”, Clinton told CNN host Anderson Cooper.
Pushing back, Clinton said of the AP report, “I know there’s a lot of smoke and there’s no fire”.
He also defended Hillary Clinton’s contact with donors to the foundation while serving as secretary of state, saying foundation donors like Bangladeshi economist and Nobel Peace Prize victor Muhammad Yunus have no trouble reaching officials around the world.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Clinton made the comment at an Atlanta tavern in response to the AP’s report that more than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State were Clinton Foundation donors. She offered one of her simplest explanations yet for using a private email server while she was at the State Department.
The former secretary of state addressed questions about her use of a private server only in passing this week, joking with late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel on Monday that, “My emails are so boring”, she said.
Clinton said she would not “litigate in public” her “private conversations” with Powell.
“I want people to know that the decision to have a single email account was mine”.
“I would certainly do [it] differently if I could but obviously I’m grateful the Justice Department concluded there was no basis to pursue this matter further and I believe the public will be, and is, considering my full record and experience as they consider their choice for president”, she said.

“Her supporters have very little enthusiasm”, he said. What I’ve learned is that when I try to explain what happened, it can sound like I’m trying to excuse what I did. “I would certainly do differently if I could”.
