WASHINGTON >> In their struggle for the upper hand on national security, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are emphasizing strikingly different themes – he as the bold and cunningly unpredictable strongman who will eliminate terrorism; she as the calm, conventional commander in chief who will manage all manner of crises.
Terrorism is Trump’s national security touchstone, and the Islamic State group is his target. He promises to wipe it out, and quickly.
Clinton accuses him of fearmongering and of denigrating the U.S. military as gutted and worn out. She presents herself as the anti-Trump.
“America’s strength doesn’t come from lashing out,” she said in accepting the Democratic nomination Thursday. “Strength relies on smarts, judgment, cool resolve, and the precise and strategic application of power.” By implication, Trump is cast as bombastic, scattershot, impulsive and fanciful.
National security has emerged as a key focus of the campaign — more the candidates’ temperaments than their plans
Trump says he is best suited because he would be a dealmaker and deliberately unpredictable, thus making it more difficult for adversaries to counter his military or diplomatic moves. Clinton pitches her steadiness and depth of experience from eight years in the Senate and four years as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state.

Each has zeroed in on what many consider the most worrisome issues: terrorism and an assertive Russia. The next president, however, will face a wider range of problems, to include ending the war in Afghanistan, managing the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea, coping with a rising China and ending a cycle of bloody instability in Iraq and Syria. There also are challenges in cyberwarfare, nuclear weapons and the modernization of the U.S. military.
Trump calls his approach “America first,” meaning alliances and coalitions would not pass muster with him unless they produced a net benefit to the U.S. He drew rebukes from much of the national security establishment when he suggested in a recent newspaper interview that as president he might not defend certain NATO member countries against outside attack if they were falling short of the alliance’s defense spending targets. He also has been accused of being too easy on Vladimir Putin, the Russian president whom Trump has openly admired.
Clinton sees international partnerships as essential tools for using American influence and lessening the chances of war. That is an approach rooted in a U.S. tradition of bipartisan support for institutions such as NATO, whose value and future Trump says should not be taken for granted.
Trump has tried to keep his focus on fear. In his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention he decried “war and destruction.” He said the long-volatile and often violent Middle East is now “worse than it has ever been before,” suggesting Americans are increasingly at risk.
He mocks Clinton’s experience as a member of Obama’s war Cabinet, labeling her legacy at the State Department as “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.”
She questions Trump’s reliability. “He loses his cool at the slightest provocation,” she said in her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. “Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.”
The commander in chief’s responsibility in the nuclear arena is not traditionally a hot-button issue on the campaign trail. But it has arisen more regularly this time, mainly because the Democrats see Trump as vulnerable to voter doubts about whether he could be trusted to use nuclear restraint. He raised eyebrows during a Republican primary debate when he seemed unaware of the nuclear “triad,” the bombers, submarines and long-range missiles that have comprised the three basic pieces of the American nuclear arsenal for more than 50 years.
Through her supporters, including retired military officers, Clinton has pushed back on Trump’s claim that he alone has the right formula for keeping America secure.
“She, as no other, knows how to use all instruments of American power, not just the military, to keep us all safe and free,” John Allen, the retired Marine general and former presidential envoy to the international coalition aligned against the Islamic State, told the Democratic National Convention.
Allen presented a counterpoint to Trump’s top military supporter, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. In his address to the Republican National Convention, Flynn doubled down on Trump’s portrayal of Clinton as unqualified to be president. He blamed her for “bumbling indecisiveness, willful ignorance and total incompetence.”

Read Defense One which has an objective comparison of Trump and Clinton in which Clinton comes out the better (and then look at stuff on our weapons and various national security issues). Also one of the Fox News analysts — the guy who started “Make America Safe” and the publisher of The American Standard a conservative weekly– He thinks Trump will do harm to the country if he becomes President., He is urging an investigation into Trumps many connections to Russia (you can read them in the American Standard).
Trump’s staff is loaded with people who are on Putin’s payroll, like Michael Flynn who works for Putin’s propaganda network, Russia Today. Flynn was forced out of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and, in retaliation, seems to have decided to work for the other side.
The Clintons are kissing up to the Russians. Check it out…http://www.clintoncashbook.com/… In 2000, Bill and Hillary Clinton owed millions of dollars in legal debt. Since then, they’ve earned over $130 million. Where did the money come from?
In his New York Times bestselling books Extortion and Throw Them All Out, Schweizer detailed patterns of official corruption in Washington that led to congressional resignations and new ethics laws.
In Clinton Cash, he follows the Clinton money trail, revealing the connection between their personal fortune, their “close personal friends”, the Clinton Foundation, foreign nations, and some of the highest ranks of government.
why you post lies?
i was referring bsdetection telling lies
bs is a Democrat. He easily gets confused with fact from fiction. That’s how gullible the party faithful are. Sad.
Yes, we know. We aren’t dunmmies.
Flynn has a sterling military record. If he was forced out of DIA it was due to pushing more change than the bureaucracy would tolerate. Given that his efforts were aimed at more direct support to the warfighter, that seems likely. The Russia today thing is problematic, yet, trivial compared to the linkages between Clinton, her foundation, a Canadian uranium mining firm and Russia.
bs, One thing the Democrats do best is put out half truths. RT is a news agency reporting on Global events with a Russian view. Keep your friends close, your so called enemies closer. In any event, Flynn made a speech for pay no different that Crooked Hillary charging $250,000 for a speech for pay from Wall Street or the Banks. He doesn’t work for Russia. No laws were broken.
True, I remember in the early days of the Iraq war, RT had the best coverage that actually analyze what was going on. They weren’t always right but the coverage was far better than the propaganda of the American media.
Nothing wrong with getting 2 sides of the story. Can’t believe anything anymore. So much bs.
BS even IF your statement is “True”? One Person is not considered “Loaded”. Please expand.
Gd one. Quit making things up.
Bs. Peanuts compared to the Uranium 1 Deal, bribes, nondisclosure, $500,000 speaking fees, million dollar donation to the Clinton Foundation while Secretary of State. Mere distractions? Lock her up. It’s coming.
The Democrats are comics accusing Trump of being in bed with the Russkies. Trump is jv compared to the Clintons.
Hillary Clinton says the State Department, when she was secretary, did not do favors for foreign interests in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation.
If she gets in Kaine has a clear shot to the top. They are going to impeach her.
When asked whether Russian banks are financing his businesses (because American banks won’t), Trump dodged the question by replying that he has no investments in Russia. His tax returns might reveal the extent to which he depends on Russian banks, which wouldn’t loan to Trump without Putin’s approval. If Trump is kept afloat by Russian banks, think about what it means when he claims to finance his own campaign. Is his campaign financed with rubles?
Trump’s financial disclosure documents don’t have a lot of obvious Russian ties. Those documents — which list one’s assets and debts — are required of all presidential candidates to unveil any potential conflicts of interest should they be elected.
As far as his tax returns you won’t find anything if he turns over his first two pages.
Nice speculation. Have you reviewed Trump’s tax returns? No, you haven’t. You are just spouting garbage made up in your corrupted mind.
the female felon, under the guise of avoiding press conferences fearing uncontrolled questioning from reporters about emails, the serial sexual offender and the pay-to-play schemes, is cloaking the seriousness of her stroke and resultant fainting spells that require frequent rests during prolonged engagements and numerous power naps.
even the female felon’s coconspirators are aware of the need to flutter around her constantly to avoid exposing her episodes of “confusion” to the public.
the female felon is hiding serious health issues (dizziness, fainting, napping requirements) that make her a risk when immediate attention and response is needed when conducting national security issues.
Who is a felon? Hidden serious health issues? What are you talking about?
It would be helpful if you could be truthful – even briefly. Maybe pick one day next week to do that?
That goes the same for the Democrats. Four days of propaganda must have been tough to take even for you.
Kaine knows she’s got health isssues. Why do you think he jumped on it.
LA Times: “Given the pro-Putin orientation of Trump and his circle, it is no surprise that his campaign quietly rolled back a call in the GOP platform for arming Ukraine to fight back against Russian aggression, as most Republican foreign-policy experts have advocated. Trump has more than once criticized NATO, the chief obstacle to Russian designs, as obsolete and has said he wouldn’t necessarily come to the aid of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s members if they are attacked by Russia. Trump also cheered Britain’s vote to exit the European Union, another institution that Putin sees as an impediment to his influence.” Would it be more accurate if his baseballs caps said “Make Russia Great Again”?
Trump doing great and the dems are in panic mode. They have been busted and now it’s time to blame the Russians. Let’s just sit back and await the next email release. How far will they go? Hillary increasing her meds.
Increasing her meds?
You’re starting your lying early today!
Former President Clinton’s office declined to comment today on reports that he managed to lose the personal identification code needed to confirm nuclear launches and never told anyone about it. The story is a bit outdated but would be appropriate if a background check was conducted…

She had a stroke caused by clotting which her family doctor spun as a concussion.
On Wednesday, WND reported Hillary Clinton’s publicly available medical records show she was first placed on Lovenox, a blood thinner, in 1998 to treat blood-clotting problems in her legs on extended airplane flights. The anticoagulant was replaced with Coumadin, which she began taking after developing a blood clot in her head from a fall and a concussion she suffered in December 2012.

Lots of presumption, no balance. Should we get involved in a proxy war with Russia via Ukraine? What else would it be since we’d be the only possible source of armaments. And is our NATO commitment unquestionable? We’ve carried that organization, financially, since the beginning. Trump may be the blind squirrel who’s found the nut, in this case, but he’s right. As the NATO organizations continue to fail to adequately fund their militaries, our risk become greater. Weak alliances with strong mutual defense obligations are the stuff of world wars. The Europeans, as they’ve increased economic ties with Russia, are using us as an insurance policy, but they refuse to pay the premium which should be a reasonable level of military spending.
Brexit? The EU, with its byzantine, authoritarianism, created the problem which isn’t limited to the UK. Recognizing it’s not working, isn’t going to work is correct.
We the undersigned, members of the Republican national security community, represent a broad spectrum of opinion on America’s role in the world and what is necessary to keep us safe and prosperous. We have disagreed with one another on many issues, including the Iraq war and intervention in Syria. But we are united in our opposition to a Donald Trump presidency. Recognizing as we do, the conditions in American politics that have contributed to his popularity, we nonetheless are obligated to state our core objections clearly:
His vision of American influence and power in the world is wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle. He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence.
His advocacy for aggressively waging trade wars is a recipe for economic disaster in a globally connected world.
His embrace of the expansive use of torture is inexcusable.
His hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric undercuts the seriousness of combating Islamic radicalism by alienating partners in the Islamic world making significant contributions to the effort. Furthermore, it endangers the safety and Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of American Muslims.
Controlling our border and preventing illegal immigration is a serious issue, but his insistence that Mexico will fund a wall on the southern border inflames unhelpful passions, and rests on an utter misreading of, and contempt for, our southern neighbor.
Similarly, his insistence that close allies such as Japan must pay vast sums for protection is the sentiment of a racketeer, not the leader of the alliances that have served us so well since World War II.
His admiration for foreign dictators such as Vladimir Putin is unacceptable for the leader of the world’s greatest democracy.
He is fundamentally dishonest. Evidence of this includes his attempts to deny positions he has unquestionably taken in the past, including on the 2003 Iraq war and the 2011 Libyan conflict. We accept that views evolve over time, but this is simply misrepresentation.
His equation of business acumen with foreign policy experience is false. Not all lethal conflicts can be resolved as a real estate deal might, and there is no recourse to bankruptcy court in international affairs.
Mr. Trump’s own statements lead us to conclude that as president, he would use the authority of his office to act in ways that make America less safe, and which would diminish our standing in the world. Furthermore, his expansive view of how presidential power should be wielded against his detractors poses a distinct threat to civil liberty in the United States. Therefore, as committed and loyal Republicans, we are unable to support a Party ticket with Mr. Trump at its head. We commit ourselves to working energetically to prevent the election of someone so utterly unfitted to the office.

So very telling, these are not Ds or even independents, but hardcore Rs……
SA wssup?
Old news. Anything current?
Yup.
Donald J. Trump, confronting a daunting electoral map and a significant financial disadvantage, is preparing to fall back from an expansive national campaign and concentrate the bulk of his time and money on just three or four states that his campaign believes he must sweep in order to win the presidency.
Even as Mr. Trump has ticked up in national polls in recent weeks, senior Republicans say his path to the 270 Electoral College votes needed for election has remained narrow — and may have grown even more precarious. It now looks exceedingly difficult for him to assemble even the barest Electoral College majority without beating Hillary Clinton in a trifecta of the biggest swing states: Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
President Obama won all three states in 2008 and 2012, and no Republican has won Pennsylvania in nearly three decades.
With a divisive campaign message that has alienated many women and Hispanics, Mr. Trump appears to have pushed several traditional swing states out of his own reach. According to strategists on both sides of the race, polling indicates that Mrs. Clinton has a solid upper hand in Colorado and Virginia, the home state of Senator Tim Kaine, her running mate. Both states voted twice for George W. Bush, who assiduously courted Hispanic voters and suburban moderates.
In addition, Trump allies have grown concerned about North Carolina, a Republican-leaning state that has large communities of black voters and college-educated whites — two audiences with which Mr. Trump is deeply unpopular.
The summary, your coward in chief is in big big trouble.
Thanks for the update. We have a long way to go.
Having effectively shut the door on himself in many states by alienating Hispanics , Blacks and many women, Donald J. Trump may need to sweep the three biggest swing states — Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania — in order to win. No Republican has done that since 1988.
As of today, he trails in PA by 11%, and both Ohio and Fl.
In a speech in Russia, Trump advisor Carter Page criticized the US foreign policy for its “often-hypocritical focus on democratization, inequality, corruption and regime change” in its dealings with Russia, China and Central Asia. Manafort, Page, Flynn and other Trump advisors have been or are now on Putin’s payroll.
bsd…You’re starting your lying early today. It would be helpful if you could be truthful – even briefly. Maybe pick one day next week to do that?
I was not aware that Putin’s payroll records have been released.
Manafort dodged questions about his ties to Putin and pro-Putin forces:
Andrea Mitchell: “The fact that you in the past have represented in your business life, some of these Russian allies in Ukraine, those who are close to Vladimir Putin, pro-Russian forces. Do your past clients or current clients conflict in any way with the classified intelligence briefings that Donald Trump, as the nominee, is going to get?”
Manafort: “Well I have no other clients except for Trump to start with, and I’m not getting the briefings, he’s getting the briefings,”
Mitchell: “And what about your past clients?”
Manafort: “I don’t have anymore clients,”
Mitchell: “Do you have any conflicts, do you think, because of the people you represented in the past?”
Manafort “No, I don’t represent them anymore.”
General Flynn works for Russia Today, Putin’s propaganda network and sat two seats away from Putin at a gala dinner celebrating Russia Today.
bs,
President Barack Obama twice appointed former Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn to key national security jobs in his administration, including as deputy director of national intelligence and later as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, yet he never once met with Flynn face to face.

Trump foreign policy adviser, Carter Page, has close links to Gazprom, the Kremlin-controlled gas company, and has long been an outspoken supporter of Putin. He has gone so far as to compare US foreign policy towards Russia under the Obama administration to slavery in the antebellum south.
bs. Having an advisor that knows what’s going on from the inside out is better than an adviser that doesn’t know better like Crooked Hillary. She’s a mess. Look what she did to America and you want her as POTUS?
The Guardian —
“In 2013, Trump boasted: “The Russian market is attracted to me. I have a great relationship with many Russians, and almost all of the oligarchs were in the room”. On another occasion he declared: “Moscow right now in the world is a very, very important place. We wanted Moscow all the way.”
In 2008, Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr, told a New York Russian real estate investors conference that a “lot of money [is] pouring in from Russia”. “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” he added.
A lot of the money was destined for the 46-storey Trump Soho hotel and condos project on Spring Street in New York City, which was partly funded by group of Russian and ex-Soviet state billionaires. After allegations of fraud by buyers, the project was embroiled in an investigation by the Manhattan district attorney. Trump and his partners settled out of court. “
Maipono, I’m with You. Keep up the good words.
bs, there you go again with the twist the truth.
Russian investor money is just as green. They know a good investment. At least the money is finding its way back to America.
George Will: “It is unclear whether any political idea leavens the avarice of Trump and some of his accomplices regarding today’s tormented and dangerous Russia. Speculation about the nature and scale of Trump’s financial entanglements with Putin and his associates is justified by Trump’s refusal to release his personal and business tax information. Obviously he is hiding something, and probably more than merely embarrassing evidence that he has vastly exaggerated his net worth and charitableness.’
Still waiting for some actual proof that Flynn is an employee of RT. But by all means, continue typing..
Like I said the democrats are in panic mode. They have absolutely nothing positive to say about lying HiLIARy. Ain’t that a shame. Should be another fun day. Trump 2016… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8KJe8Ugtd8
Was that Bill Clinton on sax?
bs, slash and burn. That’s Crooked Hillary’s campaign and the future of America if she gets to the WH. How can you support something like her. What does your family and friends think?
Neither candidate is fit or deserving so we’re scrooded royal either way. I’m not even sure who the lesser of 2 evils is between Corrupt, lying Hillary and Crazy talking, flip flopping Trump. How you fools can argue in support of either is a mystery.
Obama/HilLIARy has made it a national priority to weaken America’s military, by sending pink slips to thousands of service members. She will continues Obama’s doctrine of dictating to the military to become a giant social experiment, rather than an efficient, and feared force to our enemies. Trump has said this will change if he is elected, we cannot afford any more patronizing of the enemies of the U.S. like Obama/HilLIARy has done by refusing to call the enemy exactly who they are.
Yes, remember the Obama/Romney debate??? “Mitt, Russian is not an enemy, the cold war is over???”
Yep. Obama sure has screwed that up during the last eight years. Putin knows he’s a wimp.
Now I’m not taking sides here,but if there is one other person who is equally responsible for the mess of our foreign affairs.;ie State Department. Why improved relations w/Russia was never acquired?
Look no further than the Micro Manager himself. Our present…. Commander in Chief.All of his Staff/Cabinet members were held on a very short LEASH!
But Yes in reality,if Hillary is elected,which i doubt. The USA will be just an extension of another Obama foreign policies. And why we need to change course NOW……and i’m not talking about the “Golf Course” which Obama loves so much.lol
So with that in mind . I’m Calling out, to all of you Bernie Sanders Supporters (who ,btw were thrown under the Bus) Let’s come together,because we share the same values,Trump supporters too say No to Hillary Clinton for President”. So let’s come together & “Let’s Make America Great Again”!
Go Donald!
Oh forgot to mention….. Now there seems to be more Democrats who are crossing the line in support of Donald J Trump. So grip your shorts! November is a little over 3 months AWAY.
Bernie supporters are coming on board and they are very smart not to admit it. “Let’s Make America Great Again”
“I’m not taking sides here, BUT….blah, blah, blah.”
Good idea now how does this work… If there is one other person who is equally responsible for the mess of our foreign affairs.;ie State Department. Why improved relations w/Russia was never acquired?
Look no further than the Micro Manager himself. Our present…. Commander in Chief.All of his Staff/Cabinet members were held on a very short LEASH!
But Yes in reality,if Hillary is elected,which i doubt. The USA will be just an extension of another Obama foreign policies. And why we need to change course NOW……and i’m not talking about the “Golf Course” which Obama loves so much.lol

Go Donald!
I wouldn’t trust either of them!
I know justmyview……So What is your next option? Libertarian or the Green Party.And I like them both! We just havn’t heard enough from them as much as the DEMs and Repups.
In response some may say, Voting for the Green Party or Libertarian Party,
” I can let my voice be heard”! Haaaaaaaaaa! Good luck with that idea. They don’t have a chance! They are just “take away votes”.
Chris Stevens trusted Hillary. RIP
Vince Foster too. RIP
As the Clinton campaigns winds through Pennsylvania with a new slogan “you’re hired” Caterpillar and Nabisco just announced “you’re fired” massive lay offs. Maybe they should go around Peoria and Chicago. They might get a rotten egg reception. More gloom under Obama.
When I read Flynn never met Obama face to face and some of his directors have publicly contradicted him no small wonder ISIS is a major threat.
Obama’s cabinet was not asked to address the convention. They got nothing good to say.
All of you are wackos. Reading comments on this subject is truly comical relief. The one-upmanship in bs is astounding. The majority of people who are normal thinking will have to decide on who to vote for without the benefit of the “wisdom” of the regulars who post comments on this forum.
(Is kind of middle-schoolish, isn’t it? 🙂 )
Trump, the new kid on the block. What we see and hear may or may not be good for us! An enigma to the vast majority of the people in our country and his unpredictable conducts! On the other hand, Clinton’s claimed of having years of experiences, eight years in the Senate and four years as Secretary of State . Pray tell me what she has been doing all these years? We are no better today than the yesterday’s of her “experiences”! We are in deep muck Kids, let’s clean up and go for Gary Johnson!
Pakalolo for everyone! My kind of leadership.
That’s obvious.
Not sure what the fuss is about Trump’s tax return(s). He claims “they” still may be dealing with the 2015 return. That said, surely his 2014 tax return as long been filed, audited and returned
Trying to get Trump to release that could also be a good indication how accountable he might be as POTUS.
Mahalo
Kinda like Obama and his college transcripts and HiLIARy’s speeches to Wall Street.
You want to know Obamas law school transcripts? Put on your thinking cap. He graduate cum laude, which means, as I can only imagine what type of schooling you obtained in your life, that his very lowest overall GPA is at 3.67—or very very smart.
Any more things you need for me to figure ourt for you or explain to you?
Let’s see them if that is the case. Nothing to worry about. BTW do you have a copy of HiLIARy’s speeches? Did you happen to see.. “Clinton Cash”?
http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2016/07/29/watch-clinton-cash-weekend-one-america-news-network/
Well, I tell you what. If you can get Harvard Law to break law and policy of releasing the private academic records,of students, you might be in luck.
Tell you what, I’ll help assist you in getting a calculation from Columbia, which is not that hard: the average GPA for admission to HLS was 3.83 and the average LSAT in the 98th percentile. The 25th percentile, or the bottom quartered, had admitted had GPAs of about 3.6 plus.
It would be very safe to say he had at least a 3.6+ upon graduation from Columbia.
Has anyone else noticed that when Hillary speaks her almost monitone speeches makes me think of the 1980s computer generated voice like the movie “War Games” “shall we play a game” just a higher pitch. I sense no voice inflection. Sounds like a robot. Trump speeches makes me think of a used car salesman
I like her bark. Will never forget that.

Why would anyone vote for Hillary to fix what she and Obama broke during the past eight years?
Clinton and national security in the same sentence? She and her husband have been selling out the country since Bill was in the White House. For the Clintons it’s all about the Benjamins. Gen. Flynn got it right with the total incompetence line. Remember Hillary, like little Barry, has no “resume bullets” that qualify her for president. All she has is her relationship to Bill. Strange that america’s highest ranking feminist got where she is by hanging on to and defending a man who cheated on her for decades.
I don’t think either is qualified.
318 million people in the united states.
and these two are the best of that either party has, out of the entire united states?
Having effectively shut the door on himself in many states by alienating Hispanics and many women, Donald J. Trump may need to sweep the three biggest swing states — Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania — in order to win. No Republican has done that since 1988.
Problem is, he is now trailing badly in PA by 11%, and both Ohio and Florida.
Dude, are you smoking some of that “medical marijuana” I just looked at Real Clear Politics Polling to do a smell test on your claim, it stinks by the way. Clinton is up in PA. by 4.4 points. OH. and FL. are statistical ties. That being said I don’t think Trump has a prayer. The Clinton machine is well established and democrats are better at getting the vote out. Dead people voting, multiple voting, busing know-nothings to the polls and rewarding them with $5 or a pack of smokes to vote democrat, all the usual tactics that republicans haven’t figured out how to counter.
You can’t believe a word ikefromeli says, he’s a democrat. 100 days is a long time. Trump was jv compared to the Clintons. Crooked Hillary never figured they would find her server if not for Benghazi. She has to worry the Russians don’t expose her dirty dealings with the Foundation, uranium, illegal, $500,000 speaking fees. It’s all there on the Russian side. That’s why she’s worried.
