TRUMP: I think that it's been very well...
WALLACE: Let's ask Mr. Trump.
CLINTON: There is a lot of evidence about the very good work...
TRUMP: It's been very well studied.
CLINTON: ... and the high rankings...
(CROSSTALK)
WALLACE: Please let me Mr. Trump speak.
TRUMP: ... and it's a criminal enterprise, and so many people know it.
WALLACE: Please let Mr. Trump speak.
...she might have elaborated more but Trump apparently had something important to say. Something about a criminal enterprise. Something he can't prove. Something the entire GOP have not been able to prove with all the time that has been wasted with this crap. A kind of running theme of GOP vs Hillary. We have nothing that sticks, what if we just keep repeating the accusation again and again.

That's why we don't expect people to prove they are not guilty.
This was a debate, not a court of law. If the moderator asks you a question of, "There are accusations that you did XXXXX and there is evidence YYYYY we have seen to back that up. How do you explain this?", your response should be, "No, that's untrue. Here is why I didn't do XXXXX and why YYYYY isn't true, and here's what you can do to look up that I'm telling the truth...."
But Hillary didn't do that. She purposely avoided the question.
It was essentially this:
Moderator: "So it appears your charity was pay-for-play, and foreigners who donated to it got special favors. How do you explain that?"
Hillary: "I'm glad you asked that. Let me tell you about all the children my charity helped..."
Do you think Hillary was that stupid to where she didn't understand the question?
Come on.
I know you're way left of center and want to defend your candidate, but geez, at least concede the point here that Hillary has a lot to hide regarding her actions regarding the Clinton Foundation, and did all she could to avoid answering about it.
