    Is that illegal? I mean personally I think any type of donation to anything should be disclosed but what's the legality now in the greatest country money can buy?

    He hammered the guy that wrote "Clinton Cash" and didn't bother to disclose that he was a donor to their slush fund. I won't bother to do the research for you since you ignore most of it. Their foundation has a terrible rating for actually using the dollars.

    I never said it was illegal, but for someone to be held out as impartial and fair, it is really upon them to watch where they give so as not to even appear biased. He interviewed someone critical of the Clinton Foundation and was very combative without revealing his own connection to it. He was slated to be a moderator for the election. Do you not see a conflict of interest?

    Yes I do. But I also see it all the time. I don't think Clarence Thomas should be able to vote on healthcare because of his wife, but he was allowed to. I think all donated money should be disclosed, all of it. My fear is some Saudi pumping money into our elections, but citizens United makes that ok.

    Well yeah Hillary has taken millions from the Saudis and the UAE while masquerading as the face of women's rights.

    That would be a start. Obama would get excited.

    That's troubling, is there proof?
