Hillary Clinton Sent $800K from Campaign Funds to Her New ‘Resistance’ Group
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 14 Aug, 2017 | Joe Schoffstall

Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has sent $800,000 from her campaign funds to her new political action group, Federal Election Commission filings show.

Clinton announced her intent to be "part of the resistance" in May with the formation of Onward Together, a political action group that will fund a number of established "resistance" groups that can quickly counter President Trump with direct action and protests.

The group is dedicated to "encouraging people to organize, get involved, and run for office" and advancing "progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come," according to its mission statement.

Federal Election Commission records show that Clinton has sent hundreds of thousands from her campaign funds to her group the same month she announced its creation.

Hillary for America, Clinton's campaign committee, made the $800,000 contribution to Onward Together on May 1, according to its FEC filings.

Reports from earlier this year indicated that Clinton is working with former aides and donors and will assist groups that have "impressed" her since her November election defeat. Liberal groups such as Swing Left, Run for Something, and Emerge America had already received funding at the group's May 15 announcement, a Clinton aide told CNN at the time.

"From the Women's March to airports across the country where communities are welcoming immigrants and refugees to town hall meetings in every community, Americans are speaking out like never before," Clinton wrote in an email to supporters in May. "I believe more fiercely than ever that citizen engagement at every level is central to a strong and vibrant democracy."

The Democrats have broken the social contract. Whenever there is again a Democrat President, they should be resisted and sabotaged with equal might. They want an ungovernable country and they are going to get one.

Actually, to be completely accurate, the article should have opened with “TWICE failed presidential candidate.....”

Not to worry folks;

She will skim ten times that much, at least, off the top when the suckers start donating to it.

Just think of it as ‘seed money’.

I guess giving away $800,000 to foment discord and try to overturn the government is nothing to Hillary. After all, she got *millions* for selling our uranium to Russia.

Exactly. What is this RESIST sh*t anyway? The multiple felon who is above the law Hillary Rotten Clinton constantly pushing this RESIST bullsh*t. Resist WHAT exactly? What are they resisting? Trumps attempts to prevent a terror attack? His attempts to secure the border to stop heroin from flooding into the country that kills 50,000 people a year, a good number of them teens? Resist Trumps attempts to stop MS-13 gang members coming into the USA mass murdering CHILDREN? ELEVEN kids have been massacred in Brentwood Long Island alone by MS-13 in the past year, something the media hides every day. I live TEN miles from Brentwood! That's the MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN by ILLEGALS.

Let me repeat that.....

MASS MURDER OF CHILDREN BY ILLEGAL ALIENS

F the Democrat party, F Hillary and F every last RINO piece rat filth that tries to trip up Trump every step of the way.

Some have no respect for what the people have said via the polling booth. It’s the process
of gov’t that was established and the losers want to destroy it. They should be working to
improve the gov’t and making plans for the next election where the people decide again.
