RUSH: Former President Bill Clinton is surfacing to defend the Clinton Crime Family Foundation because, as predicted, news stories about the Clinton Foundation are scaring off the people that want to bribe the Clintons, the access-buyers. The reason that is happening is because the scam has been exposed. The scam is that it isn\u2019t about charity. It\u2019s about personal enrichment by selling future access and granting favors from a sitting secretary of state for exorbitant sums of money, under the guise of selflessness.<\/p>\n

The Clintons have gone out and they tell these donors (Clinton impression), “You know, the American people love us, and especially me. The American people love me, and I can\u2019t do anything wrong. (laughing) I mean, I have done all kinds of things, and they still think I\u2019m the biggest stud in the whole country! So you can give me money and everybody\u2019s just gonna assume I will do great things. I\u2019m gonna go out and help earthquake victims and tsunami victims and wherever there\u2019s trouble I\u2019m gonna be there.<\/p>\n

“Nobody\u2019s gonna question it. They\u2019re gonna think you\u2019re a hero donating to our foundation. You\u2019ll be a great guy. They\u2019re gonna think you\u2019re doing great things. You just be patient. When Hillary gets elected president, that\u2019s when we\u2019ll expect hear from. And if you want access now, she\u2019s secretary of state.” This little quid pro quo stuff went on underneath the table. It\u2019s all been exposed now, including the fact that 15% — only 15% — of what is donated actually goes to charitable endeavors.<\/p>\n

So now the donors are receiving the same scrutiny the Clintons are getting. The donors now are being scrutinized. It\u2019s almost like they\u2019re cockroaches under the sink and you got your flashlight out trying to find \u2019em so you can wipe \u2019em out but you can\u2019t. Cockroaches survive everything. But they\u2019re scattering. So Clinton surfaces and does an interview on NBC News with Cynthia McFadden. He decried what he saw as a concerted effort to take down his foundation and said he had done nothing “knowingly inappropriate.”<\/p>\n

(impression) “Hey, you know, I might have done some stuff wrong but I didn\u2019t it knowing I was doing it. I mean, I thought I was aboveboard all the way. I\u2019ve never… That\u2019s not who I am. That\u2019s not who we are. We don\u2019t knowingly do things inappropriate. (laughing) It just comes to light later that they were, but we didn\u2019t know it at the time. You can trust me on that.” Speaking about accepting foreign donations while his wife was secretary of state. <\/p>\n

(impression) “That is a very deliberate attempt here to take that foundation down. I mean, there\u2019s almost no new fact that wasn\u2019t known first time she ran for president. We\u2019re gonna come as close as we can during her presidential campaign to following the rules that we followed when she was secretary of state.” Let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites and you\u2019ll hear for yourself. Cynthia McFadden on the Today Show this morning, said to Clinton, you\u2019re proud of the work on the African programs the Clinton Foundation has raised billions to help fund.<\/p>\n
