"He is trying to scam America the way he scammed all those people at Trump University," the likely Democratic presidential nominee said at an event Wednesday in Newark, New Jersey.

The attacks Clinton unleashed against Trump are among her sharpest of the campaign -- reflecting a belief that Trump University is a major vulnerability for the presumptive GOP nominee and that Trump is likely to be goaded into a response that would keep the issue alive.

Clinton pointed to documents unsealed by a judge Tuesday in a lawsuit over Trump University.

"His own employees testified that Trump U -- you can't make this up -- that Trump U was a fraudulent scheme where Donald Trump enriched himself at the expense of hard working people," Clinton said.

"Trump and his employees took advantage of vulnerable Americans encouraging them to max out their credit cards, empty their retirement savings, destroy their financial futures, all while making promises they knew were false from the beginning," she said. "This is just more evidence that Donald Trump himself is a fraud. He is trying to scam America the way he scammed all those people at Trump University."

It's the latest attack Clinton has unleashed against Trump after blasting his record on veterans this week and his years-old comments about how he'd profit from the housing crisis last week. She said his actions demonstrate that Trump is "unqualified and unfit" for the presidency.

Tuesday afternoon, Trump's campaign released a video highlighting what it said were former students praising their experiences at Trump University.

"I must tell you that the courses that I took were outstanding," Kent Moyer, one of the students, says in the clip.

The Clinton campaign's criticism of Trump University began with a lengthy attack on Twitter, where Clinton's official account labeled the school a "fraud" and a "scam."

Her shots at Trump University included retweeting 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney's assertion that Trump is "is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University."

The school is now defunct and what remains is called the Trump Entrepreneur Initiative.

"Confident that voters don't know enough about Trump U yet. So expect to hear quite a bit more from us on this topic," Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri tweeted.

Clinton's press secretary, Brian Fallon, tweeted, "Trump U is devastating because it's metaphor for his whole campaign: promising hardworking Americans way to get ahead, but all based on lies."

In another tweet, Clinton included a warning, saying: "Caution -- may cause nausea."

That was the starting point of a Clinton tweetstorm.

"The gist: Trump's for-profit university deceived & exploited students to take their money," her account tweeted. "And he has the gall to call the media 'sleazy.'"

Then, she tweeted: "Some of Trump University's tactics: push people to take on debt, cash out retirement, max out credit cardswhatever it took to buy classes."

She continued: "Some of Trump University's tactics: push people to take on debt, cash out retirement, max out credit cardswhatever it took to buy classes."

"Another Trump University practice, according to its own employees: target struggling families to fleece them," Clinton tweeted. "Trump University employed instructors with no experience and lied to sell outrageously expensive packages. In a word: fraud."

And, she said, "It's one thing to sell steaks using a name as a marketing ploy. Trump's company intentionally put people at risk."

Then, Clinton's Twitter feed transitioned into a broader attack on Trump -- arguing that "Trump's candidacy is built on his business 'credibility.' But his business record matches his character: His only concern is his own profit."

"The Trump University con says a lot about Trump," Clinton wrote. "If you can't trust him with your personal financeshow can we trust him with our country?"

The Twitter attack from Clinton's account didn't include any comments signed "-H" -- an indicator that the message came from Clinton herself.

For his part, Trump has defended his namesake business school, blaming the judge in the case in a news conference Tuesday.

"I have a judge who is very, very unfair. He knows he's unfair. And I'll win the Trump University case," he said. "I could settle that case. I could have settled it. I just choose not to. In fact, when I ran, they said, 'Why don't you settle up that case?' I don't want to settle the case."

These lines from the 1962 classic film The Manchurian Candidate came to mind after I listened to President Obamas endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

The president said, I dont think theres ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.

Really? She would be equal to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and himself? Notice President Obama didnt say she is more qualified, because that would diminish him and when it comes to narcissism, Obama and the Clintons make Donald Trump look like a shrinking violet.

In his effusive praise of Hillary Clinton, the president did not mention any specific accomplishments that might qualify her for the office. That is because there are none. There is a lot of symbolism, of course, but no substantive results as secretary of state, an unremarkable single term as a senator from New York, and eight years as first lady when, in 1993, she couldnt get the Clintons health reform legislation through a majority Democratic Congress. There is, however, a long list of dubious and possibly criminal achievements.

Besides the questions surrounding Clintons use of a private server and whether secret government documents were compromised and possibly hacked by Americas adversaries, there is another issue the major media have completely ignored.

It involves an institution known as Laureate Education, the parent company of Walden University, an online, for-profit school, which in its practices, critics of Trump University might say sounds like the allegations made against that school. Several students at Walden claimed to have been repeatedly delayed and given added costs as they tried to obtain their degrees, leaving them in considerable debt. A lawsuit was filed by the students, but a spokesperson for Walden told me the suits were resolved and the students have re-enrolled.

Bill Clinton was paid an obscene $16.5 million between 2010 and 2014 to serve as an honorary chancellor for Laureate International Universities.

With the Clintons, the money tree never ceases bearing fruit. Are people seeking to buy influence with this amount of cash, or do they just like Bill and Hillary?

The major media mainly ignore such things because they function largely as an auxiliary to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

This and many other things from what conservative critics call the Clinton crime foundation ought to be red meat for Donald Trump. He should ask why the media are engaging in a near total blackout of Laureate Education and the enormous flow of money to the Clintons and their foundation from governments, institutions and individuals.

Speaking of qualifications, perhaps no president, or presidential candidate, has been bought and paid for more than Hillary Clinton. She comes to this contest not with a long list of accomplishments, but with a trail of receipts and IOUs. If she becomes president, donors might reasonably be expected to collect on their investment.

Hillary Clinton: The most qualified? | Fox News

BARCELONA Hillary Clinton is too weak and her conclusions after Sundays terror attack in Orlando too timid to be our next president.

Monday, the presumptive Democratic nominee labeled the radical Islamic terrorist who attacked an Orlando nightclub A madman filled with hate, with guns in his hands and just a horrible sense of vengeance and vindictiveness in his heart, apparently consumed by rage against LGBT Americans and by extension, the openness and diversity that defines our American way of life.

The former secretary of state has incredibly bad judgement: she missed the rise of Russia and laughingly pushed a reset button on our strategy to isolate them; she reviewed the intelligence on Boko Haram and decided against putting the group on the terrorist watch list, she was unwilling to stop ISIS in Syria before they began to take hold, and she now diminishes the Orlando terrorist attack to a simple and tragic instance of gay hate.

Radical Islam isnt going to stop attacking us because of a shaming campaign labeling them mean people by Hillary Clinton and her supporters.

She talks of unity and prayers, albeit important messages, but is unable to offer serious government action. While listing the survivors names and occupations, calling the Orlando mayor, and thanking the first responders for their efforts is sweet, it isnt going to stop the growing terrorist threat we face in the U.S.

It is the goal of the terrorists to attack anyone they believe to be apostates.

Hillary doesnt get that. She talks of unity and prayers, albeit important messages, but is unable to offer serious government action. While listing the survivors names and occupations, calling the Orlando mayor, and thanking the first responders for their efforts is sweet, it isnt going to stop the growing terrorist threat we face in the U.S.

The Orlando attacker pledged his allegiance to the caliphate and it is clear that more people will do the same. Every American woman and man who acts Western are targets. Gays are not separate from this agenda. This is the real war on women. This is the real war on gays. This is a war on the West.

As Secretary of State Clinton missed this growing war with Islamic radicals. Her tenure as Barack Obamas lead diplomat saw the Arab Spring turn into the Islamic Awakening. And she was ill-equipped to stop it.

She failed to respond quickly and forcefully enough against ISIS when she was in charge, and that led to her presiding over the growth of ISIS and Boko Haram. It is troubling to hear her now support the exact same strategy weve been pushing for years with our 63 coalition partners one that has failed to even take out the command and control center of ISIS.

Clinton also reacted to the terrorist attack in Orlando with the typical liberal political suggestion of more gun control policies. Her judgement during and after a crisis should be a serious concern for all Americans. She failed to see that the Orlando attacker not only went through a background check but had also been investigated by the FBI. If an FBI investigation isnt going to catch a terrorist before they act, then an increased background check is a weak and insufficient response.

The fact is that the FBI was suspicious of the Orlando attacker months ago. They were investigating him. But since he didnt have a prior arrest record, the politically correct mob demanded that law enforcement agencies leave him alone. Hillary has even mocked policies that push to follow Muslims on suspicions of threats. So while she calls for more action, she ridicules the very thing that could stop the attacks.

Hillarys call Monday to, keep the pressure on ramping up the air campaign, accelerating support for our friends fighting to take and hold ground, and pushing our partners in the region to do even more is a weak, stay-the-course response to a frightening trend.

In other words, she suggests we hug our neighbor and hope that others do something more.

Hillary Clinton's response to Orlando proves she's too weak ...

The protesters began chanting "black lives matter" a few minutes into her speech.

At first, the former secretary of state acknowledged them: "Yes they do and I'm gonna talk a lot about that in a minute," she said.

She then tried ignoring the protesters, shouting her remarks over the chants.

"I have some issues to discuss and proposals to make if our friends will allow me to do it. They may actually find them to their liking," Clinton said, while continuing to speak over the disruption, one of the loudest she had faced on the campaign trail.

As the protests continued, Clinton supporters began chanting "Let her talk, Let her talk." Others chanted, "Hillary! Hillary" very loudly, seemingly to drown out the protesters.

Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights icon who had introduced Clinton just minutes before, personally tried to break up the protests, putting his hands on the shoulders of the protesters and speaking with them.

That effectively quelled the protesters, who were escorted out shortly after the uproar.

Friday evening, #AUCShutItDown, an Atlanta-based group affiliated with Black Lives Matter, said in a statement that they protested Clinton's event so they could press her to directly address issues facing the African-American community, particularly in regard to policing.

"Unfortunately, rhetoric DOES NOT save us, nor does it give confidence to black voters that we can trust Hillary to prioritize the necessity of ensuring our safety," the group said. "We've been waiting for weeks to see the platform that addresses these issues from Hillary Clinton's campaign. We will wait no more."

Clinton went on finishing her speech -- which focused on criminal justice reform and race -- to sizable applause from the crowd.

"I am glad the congressman and the mayor have my back," she said, acknowledging that Lewis and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed had joined her on stage.

Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Clinton, said the candidate would not meet with the protesters.

After walking off stage, Clinton was met by LaDavia Drane, her director of African-American outreach.

"It's always an adventure," Clinton proclaimed.

Speaking to CNN after the event, Lewis said he believes the protesters "represent another time, another period."

"It is unfortunate that they didn't listen to the secretary," he added.

Private email servers may be off limits for Hillary Clinton, but no one ever said anything about personal cell phones.

While Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio were busy taking jabs at each other during Wednesday night's third Republican debate, the 68-year-old democratic presidential hopeful aired her political concerns to constituents off-camera.

An hour after all 10 lead Republican candidates took the CNBC stage, a tweet arrived from Clinton's campaign camp urging voters to turn their attention to their cell phone screens.

"Text WATCH to 47246 to get live texts from Hillary during the #GOPDebate!" the tweet said.

Shortly after, those who followed the simple directions started receiving messages corresponding with what the candidates were saying on stage, all signed by "H." While they included most of Clinton's typical democratic talking points, they were delivered with a dash of flair.

"For a surgeon, Ben Carson has a pretty poor diagnosis," she sent when he began addressing health care.

"Seems to me: 10 candidates. 0 new ideas." Zing!

Those are definitely fighting words, Madam Secretary.

In addition to her private conversations with the public, she also appealed to the overall Twittersphere with tweets on a variety of topics, including women's health, "risky behavior" on Wall Street and even an appeal to the Hispanic community with a tweet entirely in Spanish.

"Las mujeres deberan de ganar lo mismo por hacer el mismo trabajo que los hombres. Punto. #GOPdebate," she tweeted, roughly translating to "Women should earn the same amount for doing the same work as men."

Sure, Rubio is being hailed as the breakout star of this third roundand Bush as the unfortunate loserbut Clinton said her peace without ever having to leave her house. Who's the real winner now?
