DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): Former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani and a supporter of Trump's, Kimberly, basically said the Clinton Global Initiative, he used the word bribery, that that's what it's been. Do you think that will factor into any FBI consideration or is that just water under the bridge?
KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE (CO-HOST): Well he's saying that not only as -- yeah, a former mayor but as a former prosecutor who's investigated and prosecuted racketeering and RICO [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] violations and he's saying what we saw here, this level of corruption is so overt that it rises to the same level and would warrant a very thorough and fair investigation and potentially indictment.
ERIC BOLLING (CO-HOST): Under RICO?
GUILFOYLE: That's what I just said, that's what he's saying, So he thinks that there is definitely a case to be made for it, but you don't see them climbing over themselves to even properly investigate it. And if it were anybody else but the Clintons, BTC, they would be --
PERINO: There is further information, Eboni, that basically the Justice Department, having seen all this information, heard from the FBI, repeatedly has said “Look, there's nothing to see here at the Clinton Global Initiative. We've checked into it and everything is fine” and they just let it go.
EBONI WILLIAMS (CO-HOST): To break it down, Dana, like, the Clinton administration -- rather, the Clinton Foundation, they've done great work, you know, and I think that's important to note but KG you know about this legal doctrine we all learn in law school, fruit of the poisonous tree. That's really big here, because for people that don't really understand the big deal here --
PERINO: What is the fruit of the poisonous tree?
GUILFOYLE: Don't eat it.
WILLIAMS: Don't eat it. When the content goes through corruption, even if it's doing good work or good will or it's valuable, it's corrupt, it's tainted and therefore it can't be used in the same way.
PERINO: So even if you built a bunch of Clinton water wells in Africa it doesn't matter?
WILLIAMS: That's right, and the AIDS research, and drugs, and meds, and all the good stuff that the Clinton Foundation has done, the method in which you've got those resources is so foul and so corrupt and so just horrible that we have to take that into consideration. I think that's a good -- yeah, that's very important.
BOLLING: Yeah, it's like the drug king pin opening up a playground for the kids over there. It's a similar example.
