THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Clinton Foundation: Mistakes Were Made Are Democrats beginning to panic about Hillary's chances as a viable Democratic candidate? Over the weekend, the Clinton Foundation admitted that it had made clerical errors on its tax forms.  The acting Chief Executive Officer of the Clinton Foundation Maura Pally released a statement after Reuters discovered the discrepancy.  The statement read in part: I also want to address questions regarding our 990 tax forms. We have said that after a voluntary external review is completed we will likely refile forms for some years.  While some have suggested that this indicates a failure to accurately report our total revenue, that is not the case. Our total revenue was accurately reported on each year's form - our error was that government grants were mistakenly combined with other donations. Those same grants have always been properly listed and broken out and available for anyone to see on our audited financial statements, posted on our website. So yes, we made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do, but we are acting quickly to remedy them, and have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the future. Releasing a statement brushing off the mistakes as something that happens to many organizations their size is not going to cut it ... Not when you are dealing with a former president/potential First Husband and a former secretary of state/potential future President of the United States. At some point, the Clintons will have the address the issue.  If Hillary's attempt at addressing the issue goes anything like her attempt to address the email/server controversy, then I wouldn't feel too confident if I were a Clinton supporter.  Her explanation arguably made things worse.  That's likely to happen in this case as well.   Panic? Even without a "smoking gun" link between the quid pro quo that is greatly insinuated by all that we know thus far, at least in the Russia uranium deal, Hillary has reached the point of doubt with supporters.  John Fund puts it well in a column today in National Review: Democrats privately believe that the Clintons can recover from the e-mail and foundation scandals because it's unlikely reporters will ever find a "smoking gun" that explicitly links foreign donations with public actions. But Democrats also know that other scandals may soon be unearthed. And if they do, not only will Hillary Clinton prove unable to establish herself as an "authentic" candidate, she also will establish herself as a pro at conducting an "authentic" cover-up. These lingering questions have caused her to lose donors and voters. The Washington Times reports today that she has lost one of her top fundraisers as a result of all of the questions surrounding these foreign donations.  Jon Cooper is a New York businessman and it part of an elite group of early fundraisers known as "HillStarters."  He has now put his fundraising on hold, saying that he is "officially on the fence" about Hillary. The questions surrounding Hillary may be taking their toll on the polling as well.  A poll released today shows Jeb Bush beating out Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head matchup in Virginia.  While other Republicans are gaining on Clinton, Clinton is the overwhelming favorite among Democratic challengers such as former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb. And we can't forget about recent polls that show more than half of Americans believe Hillary is not trustworthy.
