We'll all just have to see what the alphabets have to say tomorrow, huh?
We're probably just rubes here in flyover country... things like "Uranium mining", "$131 million", "monster deals stunning the mining industry", and forgetfullness like this:
Both Mr. Clinton and Mr. Giustra at first denied that any such meeting occurred. Mr. Giustra also denied ever arranging for Kazakh officials to meet with Mr. Clinton. Wednesday, after The Times told them that others said a meeting, in Mr. Clinton's home, had in fact taken place, both men acknowledged it. "You are correct that I asked the president to meet with the head of Kazatomprom," Mr. Giustra said. "Mr. Dzhakishev asked me in February 2007 to set up a meeting with former President Clinton to discuss the future of the nuclear energy industry." Mr. Giustra said the meeting "escaped my memory until you raised it."

Considering -- by my math -- Mr. Guistra gave the foundation what... 10% of it's OI?
I'm sure you're right, though... no way anyone is interested in this.
You guys are the experts on this whole scandal thing - I'm just posting this so I can get tips on how to handle them for my own candidate.
So let's see... 'Yawn', 'nothing to see here', and the 'the reporter is fraud' -- right?
Is that the general way one handles it out of the box?
Right. And what nefarious activities happened at that meeting?
Mr. Dzhakishev said he was worried the proposed Westinghouse investment could face similar objections. Mr. Clinton told him that he would not lobby for him, but Mr. Dzhakishev came away pleased by the chance to promote his nation's proposal to a former president.
The guy wanted some help buying a share of Westinghouse. (It doesn't seem that there's anything wrong with that.) Clinton says no. The guy says, okay, sure.
Stuff of pure evil, I say.
Zonk:
Here's the part you are missing. Bill Clinton is a private citizen. He's not an elected official. He can meet with whomever the eff' he wants to. It's part of our Constitution.
OK...
I'm sure that's gonna fly. After all, there must be like what.... 3 former Presidents running around America? They're just like us!
Jimmy Carter flies around, representing the Carter Center philanthropic organization, and talks to autocrats all the time. So what?
George Bush I flies around, often with Bill Clinton, and has greased the skids for quite a bit of philanthropic aid (Tsunami relief, etc.) from his buddies, especially in Saudi Arabia. So what?
you're pretty well aware that selling me on that idea is probably the least of Camp Clinton's problems.
If you have examples where Bush Father or Carter have used their status to support a repressive regime to facilitate a 3 billion dollar deal resulting in 131 million dollars to their foundation, please bring it to the table.
since that is NOT what Bill Clinton did why should anyone prove "others have it too"?
ABO... Anybody but Obama. I LIKE the democratic party.
