One thing you can say for Hillary Clinton: She may be taking a few days off the campaign trail while she recuperates from pneumonia, but she isn’t just sitting around twiddling her thumbs. Instead, she’s turning up the heat on Donald Trump as polls show the race tightening.
Case in point, today the Democratic nominee posted a list of 20 questions on the Orange Menace’s favorite social media platform, Twitter, and most of them are aimed at the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which appears to be little more than a front for Trump to launder other people’s money and then attempt to deduct off his taxes. And yet we wonder why Trump doesn’t want to release his tax returns? Trust me, there’s stuff in those returns that would end his candidacy.
So let’s take a look at the questions the former Secretary of State has posed to Trump:
In light of @kurteichenwald's report on the Trump Organization's dangerous ties, here are 20 questions that Trump needs to answer—now.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016
1. Will you sever ties with your company linked to foreign leaders, questionable organizations, and criminals if you become president?
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016
2. How will you handle non-cancelable contractual obligations with parties whose interests conflict with those of the United States?
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016
3. While refusing to release your tax returns, how will you confirm that you do not have dangerous financial ties to bad actors abroad?
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016
4. If you were willing to work with Qaddafi—a known terrorist and dictator—is there anyone you aren't willing to make a deal with? Who?

5. How can you be tough on Iran, given your business partnership with someone connected to Iranian money laundering? pic.twitter.com/1AdDm2kfvy

6. Given that you've already questioned our commitments to NATO allies, what is your answer to this? pic.twitter.com/qp5vMqtcs1

Let’s skip ahead a bit. If you want to read all 20 of the tweets, just direct your browser over to Clinton’s Twitter page.
12. How can we be sure you'd be willing to be tough on any nation if necessary, if it would put your interests and profits at risk?
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016
16. You've mentioned ~120 foreign deals, including in countries with national security implications. Where and with whom are you working?
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016
#20 the one I want a response to at the debates:
20. It's pretty clear: Trump's spent his life unscrupulously looking out for his own wallet above all. Why would that change as president?
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016
As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, all of these should be asked by the moderators at the upcoming debates, which begin in September 26. If they don’t, they should never be allowed to moderate another debate for as long as they live. As Americans, we have a right to hear Trump’s answers, and to see him sweat as he tries to formulate lies instead of actually responding.
