"Ya gotta love the sheer, decidedly out front, hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton."

 The American Spectator

 Which is to say, the president, as commander in chief, accepted the plane as a gift to the United States and as such it “will be given to the Department of Defense.”

Broc Smith, the Toonsmith

Hillary Accepted Foreign Gifts  . . . "Then there was this from Red State: “Hillary Clinton Rips Trump Over Qatar Plane, Gets Slapped With Reminder of the Gifts She Accepted.”
"The story reports, with, again, bold print for emphasis supplied:
Clinton, ever the grizzled political veteran, had to know that critics’ responses were going to come flying in fast and furious, even with the comments on her posts being turned off.
And they most certainly did, many of which involved gentle reminders that Clinton was embroiled in countless pay-to-play donation controversies while serving as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. Not to mention, while preparing to run for President. 
One such gift came from — you guessed it — Qatar.
Reuters reported on a $1 million donation sent in 2011 by Qatari officials to the Clinton Foundation in honor of her husband’s birthday. The Foundation was forced to confirm that it received the gift from Qatar “without informing the State Department,” while Clinton was Secretary of State, after hacked emails published by Wikileaks years later revealed they wanted to meet Bill in person to hand him the check.
According to the same report, the Qatari government had donated up to $5 million to the foundation over the years, which were significant gifts to a former and, what many thought at the time, future President.

 "One could go on and on and on with this particular Clinton hypocrisy." . . .
