BUT OF COURSE: Clinton adviser admits that some donors giving money to the foundation ‘had bad intentions’ in latest Wikileaks dump.
In a freshly Wikileaked exchange, Hillary Clinton’s communications director Jennifer Palmieri admits that some Clinton Foundation donors probably did expect some favors for their money.
Writing to aides, including John Podesta, whose emails were hacked, Palmieri discourages having Clinton answer too many questions about foundation donations because ‘[t]here aren’t great answers and in many cases not her place to answer them.’
‘I think it does make sense for her to publicly state that she never did anything at state to help a donor,’ Palmieri said. ‘At least this way she will have taken off the table any notion that there was a quid pro quo even if some donors may have had bad intentions,’ the top aide argued.
The fact that there “aren’t great answers” is exactly why Clinton should be asked for them, repeatedly.
