Clinton's Black-Box Candidacy (More Hsu related scandal)
INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY ^ | 10/19/2007 | IBD

Posted on 10/19/2007 6:24:13 PM PDT by Presbyterian Reporter

Election 2008: An ambitious presidential front-runner. A hot scramble for campaign cash. A corner-cutting past. And now red lights are flashing that she could be in hock to foreign interests. This is going downhill fast. How else does one explain the cash rolling in to Hillary Clinton's campaign from residents of Manhattan's impoverished Chinatown?

The Los Angeles Times on Friday uncovered an amazingly generous spirit of giving from Fujianese immigrant dishwashers and trinket sellers, hundreds of whom "spontaneously" coughed up $1,000 or $2,000 apiece for Clinton's presidential campaign. The $380,000 from their giving dwarfed the $24,000 that John Kerry raised there for his run for the White House in 2004.

Clinton's campaign is so full of questionable transactions that even the Nation, a left-wing magazine, has dug up a mysterious influence peddler named Alan Quasha who hires Clinton operatives and has links to top Clinton's top fundraisers.

Meanwhile, the online magazine Salon is wondering why the Clintons are not disclosing the identities of donors to the William J. Clinton Foundation as it increases its cash intake just as Hillary becomes the presidential front-runner. Bill Clinton refuses to release their names because he says they gave anonymously. Could they too be foreign and looking to buy influence?

For the mainstream media, and especially those on the left side of the spectrum, to rouse themselves to such reporting is unusual. It points to something very dramatic, like a threat to democracy.

But things aren't the same as they were in the days of Whitewater. That Clinton scandal may have been hard for the public to grasp, but the current shenanigans are not. News outlets are picking them up with ease and can describe them in a couple of sentences.

She's the she in shenanigans, maybe this will prove it.

Sen. Clinton needs to start answering questions about the mysterious patterns in her campaign donations.

But will it be the truth.. I am reminded of an old joke.

A man dies and is being given a tour on "the other side." There's a room filled with billions of time clocks the ones he could read all showing pretty much the same time but not exactly the same. "What! What are these for?"

"Oh, every individual on Earth has one of of these. If they tell a lie their clock advances a little," replied his guide.

"Really," the man says thinkng. "Which ones are for Mr. and Mrs. Clinton?"

"The Clintons?. Oh.. we have those over in the rec room. We're using them as ceiling fans."

Do we really want to go through this again? Actual criminals and pathological liars in the White House again. Have we forgotten how it was? One ugly thing after another.

George Will still sometimes says something intelligent. Of Bill Clinton he said he was not the worst president ever, but he was the worst person ever to be president. SHE would be worse.

No wonder, since she reinstated Sandy Burglar into the cabal. He was former chief lobbyist for China before Clinton elected. Made sure they got rocket telemetry by leaving a laptop in his hotel room, according to World Nut Daily.

Excellent. Maybe more papers will pick up this angle. The Clintons have been on the Red Chinese payroll for years. It’s about time people started getting concerned.

I’d be willing to bet that the Clintonistas in the Justice Dept. and the do-nothing enablers in the Bush administration, see to it that this is all covered up, just like the Sandy Burglar affair.

When it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, etc. You can bet your a$$ it is a duck. Same goes for Hillary’s windfall.

Nope. But, we are going through it again... Welcome to our nightmare. I didn't think she would win the Senate. I was wrong.

Welcome to part 2. Clinton part deux.

Why are there no Grand Juries looking into this? Is the quid pro quo for Mark Mulkasey’s confirmation a blind eye for campaign finance law violations?

Loral, Hughes etc were doing that, with full blessing of Clinton’s Commerce Dept after Clinton took DoD’s authority to stop hi-tech exports.

IBD refers to LA Times article covered here :
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1913378/posts

Also, interesting details from IBD on another matter :

Clinton's campaign is so full of questionable transactions that even the Nation, a left-wing magazine, has dug up a mysterious influence peddler named Alan Quasha who hires Clinton operatives and has links to top Clinton's top fundraisers.

Meanwhile, the online magazine Salon is wondering why the Clintons are not disclosing the identities of donors to the William J. Clinton Foundation as it increases its cash intake just as Hillary becomes the presidential front-runner. Bill Clinton refuses to release their names because he says they gave anonymously. Could they too be foreign and looking to buy influence?

For the mainstream media, and especially those on the left side of the spectrum, to rouse themselves to such reporting is unusual. It points to something very dramatic, like a threat to democracy.

Sen. Clinton knows that enforcing election laws is difficult. When she gets called out, she returns the cash, pleads ignorance, claims a vetting glitch and returns to normal.

Unfortunately, the odds of getting caught are low, the political costs are slight and the sanctions are so light they invite lawbreaking. Most candidates won't go over the line, but a bounder like Hillary may cynically calculate that voters are easily distracted.

.....

Knowing that the Chinese seek greater access to U.S. technology, how will this serve their national interests over our own? Will voters find themselves in the situation of watching a President Hillary Clinton sit on her hands after an American aircraft is shot down because of what someone in Beijing knows about cash she accepted?

“I don’t recall.”

Hey, it is too late to look it up, but Kerry was all set to continue selling out America with a Chinese neighbor and big contributor who sponsored a trip for him to set up the channels for high-tech trading.

RE: "Why are there no Grand Juries looking into this? Is the quid pro quo for Mark Mulkasey’s confirmation a blind eye for campaign finance law violations?"

Maybe there's more to it than that? I don't know.

Peter Lance is a former(?) MSM reporter and author of several good books on 9/11. I have read none of his books but I've heard several long interviews and read colunms. He does great interviews and really knows the events leading up to 9/11/01.

He does have a severe case of BDS but it's not debilitating and virtually all the shenanigans occurred during the 1990s. So he appears to have don't a great job.

All of this is chronicled in my book Triple Cross, due out in an updated edition from HarperCollins next month. The book flings the door open on a closet in Judge Mukasey's past -- a dark little room where one enormous skeleton lives.

Everyone’s worst nightmares of what vote fraud could be like are about to be dwarfed by the fiasco that these grifters will perpetrate in 11/08 and then again in 11/12.

The U.S. may not be able to survive these two.
