Just try to imagine this

A major American television network donates $500K to the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton Foundation's namesake also had a Reality TV Series on the same network. Then the Clinton Foundation took that donated money and used it to pay a judgment against it for defrauding a golfer during a Golf Tournament and the Insurance Company that underwrote the Golf Tournament. Then the Clinton Foundation also took $50K of that donation and purchased two 6 foot paintings of Bill Clinton and a Sammy Sosa autographed Baseball Bat.

Suppose another Television Network hired an ex-Clinton Campaign Manager, while the Campaign Manager was still being paid by the Clinton Campaign.

Just imagine that for a second.

We would have to declare a "State of Emergency", because hundreds of thousands of cars would be driving off the roads due to their AM Radio's exploding in spontaneous combustion from the spittle of the hosts soaking the sound boards. There would be so much pre-cum flowing that hosts and hostesses would slip off the "curvy couches" of Faux News like they were at a 1970's era Wesson Party (yes that was a thing once).

The entire Government would shut down as Congress convened 17 different Investigative Panels and 4 Special Prosecutors to hold 24/7 hearings...and God help us if that golfer happened to be killed in a traffic accident.

This one act alone. This $500K donation to the Trump Foundation MADE AFTER HE HAD SPENT YEARS RACE-BAITING THE COUNTRY ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S PLACE OF BIRTH, should tell us all we need to know about the state of our "free" press.
