    Clinton Foundation scandal 'bigger than Watergate'

    -A commentator on Wednesday suggested that the real solution to the "pay for play" scandal involving Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation would have been to shut down the non-profit in 2009, when she became secretary of state.

    Too late.

    Now, with Clinton campaign staff on the defensive, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is forecasting it will end up being one of the biggest political scandals in America.

    Ever.

    "I am more than willing to predict, when the history of our day is written, the scandal you are watching unfold is going to be like the Teapot Dome scandal in the 1920s and maybe bigger. It's going to be bigger than Watergate," he said at a campaign rally for GOP nominee Donald Trump in Tampa, Florida.

    "Nixon had to leave office, and he did a lot of bad things, but it wasn't raking in millions and millions of dollars through a phony charity," he said. "I'm not sure how much money was involved in the Teapot Dome, but I bet it could not have been much more than the hundreds of millions of dollars the Clintons have been getting and turning the State Department into a pay-for-play operation."

    The Daily Caller reported Giuliani was "outraged" at the "numerous, numerous serious federal felonies" Clinton committed.

    Now more than ever, Bill and Hill are "Partners in Crime." Jerome Corsi reveals "The Clintons' scheme to monetize the White House for personal profit."

    It was John Cassidy in the New Yorker who suggested the closure should have happened eight years ago.

    "It's getting hard to keep track of all the developments in the story of the Clinton Foundation and Clinton emails," he wrote.

    But he cited an opinion from the Boston Globe regarding the controversy.

    "Even if they've done nothing illegal, the foundation will always look too much like a conflict of interest for comfort," the paper said.

    And the progressive Huffington Post ran a headline on its homepage that blared "JUST SHUT IT DOWN," as WND reported.

    "At this stage, many Democrats (including, I'd guess, some members of the Clinton campaign) just want the Clinton Foundation to go away. But that won't happen. ... A strong argument can be made that the Clinton Foundation should have been closed, or at least thoroughly overhauled, before Clinton became secretary of state, at the start of 2009. But to shut down the foundation now, when it is under severe attack, would only give credence to Trump's claims that it was never more than a corrupt scheme to enrich its founders and their cronies," he wrote.

    In a commentary at Fox News, Newt Gingrich, who was speaker of the U.S. House from 1995 to 1999, suggested correcting that error now.

    He pointed out that's not just his opinion, but also that of former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who also was the Democratic National Committee chief.

    Gingrich said the same sentiment is coming from the San Diego Union-Tribune, which said, "These special interests are not giving money because the foundation is such an effective charitable organization; a 2013 New York Times investigation made it seem chaotic. They are not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to hear shopworn speeches because they expect to obtain profound insights. They want the Clintons' help, and they're willing to pay for it..."

    Well, one can only hope. But I think the media is too liberal for the real story to ever come out.
