Trump Quotes Fox & Friends Guest to Accuse Clinton of ‘Illegally’ Playing ‘Power Game’ With Foundation

by Aidan McLaughlin | Nov 25th, 2018, 4:17 pm

President Donald Trump accused his former opponent Hillary Clinton of using her position as Secretary of State to boost donations to her foundation after watching a Fox & Friends interview on Sunday.

Trump — who is spending his Thanksgiving break at his Mar-a-Lago resort watching cable news and tweeting — sent out the following tweet after watching National Review commentator Andrew McCarthy on Fox:

“Clinton Foundation donations drop 42% – which shows that they illegally played the power game. They monetized their political influence through the Foundation. ‘During her tenure the State Department was put in the service of the Clinton Foundation.’ Andrew McCarthy,” Trump wrote.

The foundation, which works around the world on charitable initiatives like combating AIDS in Africa, was used as a political cudgel against Clinton in the 2016 election by Trump and his supporters, who accused her of influence peddling to fund the non-profit.

Amidst the criticism, Clinton announced in August 2016 that the Clinton Global Initiative, part of the foundation, would be shutting down. In 2017, the year after Clinton’s defeat, donations plunged 58%.

Fox & Friends, which covered the foundation’s woes repeatedly on Sunday morning, interviewed McCarthy — who blamed the drop-off on Clinton’s 2016 loss. Clinton Foundation executives, meanwhile, said the decline was the result of the shuttering of the Global Initiative.

13. That is it...And NYC will indict Trump Foundation..what a show it is going to be..

...When I say, "indict" I mean there will be sufficient proof that there was foul play. The trial will be something, because my opinion is that Trump did use the money illegally and NYC will get his foundation..
And the proof will be clear and easy to see for everyone..

4. So Murdoch and Friends are

6. Tweeting from mar-a-lago, where he personally profits by forcing secret service to stay at his hotel

8. If any indictments include himself or his family

Expect trump to have one of his people file indictments on many of his opposition in retaliation. He'll claim some wild made up crap calling them deep state or something for his followers with made up charges based on lies. He will continue finding loopholes trying to escape justice, and the gop will do nothing. He may have a huge enemies list he'll go after doing this. I can't see this working but he'll continue probing by abusing his powers and obstructing using others. Like he has them in Congress doing now to go after Comey and Loretta Lynch. I'd also bet he has people researching for anything they can get to go after President Obama with, and many more.
