Where there’s smoke…
The political genius who contrived Hillary Clinton’s response to the revelations of Clinton Foundation and State Department corruption that there may be smoke but there’s no fire should be, and likely will be considering who he/she works for, taken out to a park somewhere and suicided with several shots to the back of the head (just kidding of course, but…). If there is any folk wisdom that goes back further in the history of mankind than the common sense knowledge that indeed, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” I don’t know what it is. I’d wager it most likely precedes Homo Sapiens’ adoption of fire to his own uses, first for warming, then for cooking, as in situations where rising smoke on the horizon meant grass or forest fire to be avoided, or even exploited for tasty roasted animal carcasses.
Not only is this bit of common sense universal, with some version being a part of virtually every culture in the world, it is a truth that is instilled into virtually every child’s learning from an early age. This is a truth so widespread it is known even in the animal world although it may be sensed there more by smell than sight, although humans as well also frequently are alerted to the presence of fire by a first whiff of smoke rather than a billowing cloud. Show me someone who doesn’t know the meaning of, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire” and I’ll show you someone with a severe mental or educational deficiency. Let smoke appear on any skyline and it’s likely the children who will demonstrate the first excitement as to the possibility of an impending inferno.
So how in the world did the Clinton campaign seize on such a lame defense as there may be smoke but there’s no fire when we all know that the very admission of the presence of smoke is a de facto admission that there must be fire somewhere? Every time Clinton and her defenders raise that argument they remind us of the common sense wisdom we have been taught all our lives that, “Oh yeah, where there’s smoke, there is indeed fire,” which just reinforces the suspicion that Clinton is trying to blow this particular smoke up our rear ends.

At this point, what difference does it make?
The Epitaph of our nation.
God, I hope you’re wrong, but I fear you’re right.
The crap that has been taught in our schools for the past 35 or 40 years has created a good progressive generation.
Beavis got it right…
“Suicided?” The correct term for this situation is “Arkancided.”
With a nod towards recently disbarred attorney Daniel Bernath, I say “Assisted Self-Murder”.
But Poetrooper you where right with the first sentence. Or shot and stabbed on a well to do part of DC
Smoke but no fire? Why, Poetrooper, magicians do it all the time!! They also engage in disappearing into thin air in a puff of smoke.

Disappointing into thin air,,,,,,like our country is doing right now
Yeah, except that’s not smoke. It’s water vapor. Where there is smoke there is indeed fire (i.e., combustion) unless one captures the smoke from a fire in one place and, I guess, releases it elsewhere. Even there, the smoke emanated from a fire.
Actually, it isn’t water vapor. It’s white phosphorus from the striker strip on a box of kitchen matches. (I looked it up.)
Cool trick, very toxic chemicals.
Someone may just be smoking a Cigar.
I see what you did there
Meanwhile, back in MoTown…….

He was trying to avoid using the term “smoke and mirrors”
I’d be surprised if any less than a dozen people have died so far this year from the “Clinton Flu”, a very lethal malady affecting those with damning incontrovertible evidence against the Clintons or their political machine. IMHO both of them are sociopaths as well as other things.
when you let the smoke out of a old British sports car with a Lucas electrical system the car will not run, that is because the smoke is what makes it go…Lucas are the inventors of darkness and the Clintons are now claiming that patent. sarcasm 101
After 50+ years turning wrenches I can assure you that letting the smoke out of any electrical system is a very, very bad idea. It is not limited to Lord Lucas (Prince of Darkness, holder of the patent on the short Circuit) and his creations.
I too have been turning wrenches for about 50 years also, mostly on older British sports cars and as such you get the joke of containing the smoke and not letting it escape and Hillary is the queen of darkness
If you want to have some fun, google up how many people associated with the Clintoons have had a very bad case of lead poisoning?? I just don’t understand how someone can commit suicide so many times with a bullet in the back of your head? Both of these dick nozzels should be in prison for the rest of their useless lives!
TRUMP 2016!!!!
The Clinton apologist might actually believe the smoke but no fire statement, which makes it even worse.
What’s under consideration is the fact that more than 50 percent of private citizens who met with Hillary as SOS were also donors to the Clinton Foundation. It’s not hard to imagine a normal person looking at that, and coming to the conclusion that if you wanted to meet with her, your best option would be to pay a bribe in the form of a donation.
People who are caught up in corrupt systems aren’t always aware of the level of corruption. To them, it’s just business as usual.
Clinton sucks.
When the MSM whores are in the pocket of the liberals, there is little downside for anything Clinton does.
If she killed a puppy, the headlines would say she was making the world safer for kittens.
No pride, honor, shame.
In this case, where there is “smoke” is there “fired”?
