With its star-studded cast of attendees, its plush setting at the famed Cipriani Wall Street, and its strict no-media rules, the Clinton Foundation’s annual gala could hardly be coming at a worse moment for Hillary Clinton before she launches her all-but-certain presidential campaign.
The presumptive Democratic presidential frontrunner is set to attend the Wednesday night fundraising event amid controversies about her use of a personal email address as secretary of state and the foundation’s own fundraising practices and oversight. Clinton did not address either matter in a widely anticipated speech in Washington on Tuesday night. And as the foundation’s high-profile event on Wednesday is closed to the press, she is not expected to start defending herself in this appearance.
But the scene — directly across the street from the Museum of American Finance and likely to include banking industry officials alongside former Clinton administration honchos and other friends of Bill and Hillary — seems destined to highlight some of the less flattering aspects of Clinton’s all-but-certain candidacy, including the common critique that she has so far spent more time thus far behind closed doors with bigwigs than with voters.
“It’s not the best timing,” said one Democratic operative close to Clinton’s emerging campaign team, noting that the event was likely in the Wall Street space for security purposes, and that the it had been planned for months. “But it’s also nothing new.”
The event will almost certainly provide Clinton with a chance to allay some recent concerns coming from donors personally. Friends and supporters have questioned her decision to delay the start to her much-anticipated presidential campaign, especially because it leaves her without a political staff to handle mounting questions about her personal email account, among other controversies.
One major New York-based Democratic donor said Clinton’s “herky-jerky start” is causing concern in the city’s influential donor community.
“This email [screw-up] is not going to go away,” the donor said, echoing a sentiment voiced by a wide range of Clinton’s backers.
SNIP
Bohemian Grove had “strict no-media rules,” and the Left is to this day still obsessed by the fact that Reagan and some members of his administration attended.
I’ll be there. Hillary don’t water down her booze. I’m schmoozing for a job in her administration. Secretary Of Bribe Collection.
NOTHING....I repeat NOTHING is going to happen to Hillary because the Republicans are BALL-LESS!!!!
Notice, no attendee names mentioned. If wonder if Politico would be so discreet at a Republican fund raiser?
Tonight she will be talking about SEPARATION OF EMAIL AND STATE!! It’s in the Bill of Rights don’tcha know!
The criminal klintoon family has over $2,000,000,000.00 in their “family trust”. What does anything matter to these corrupt creeps?
Felons, despots & dictators welcome.
Which ‘celebs’ will be there to juggle, dance and sing for the money launderers?
Perfect MO for the Clintons. When scandal hits, party.
something tells me this lady is going to have an accident real soon. Maybe with her husband. A small hole in their heads before the plane crash, or a dirt nap in ft marcy park.
I am going to enjoy watching the infighting between the Clintonistas and Obamunists come 2016. I don’t think the two camps like eachother. And to be honest, I don’t think the Obamunists think HIllary is hardcore leftist enough for their tastes.
OMGosh! Shifty Clinton is defined!
The timing is hilarious! A little AWKWARD. Money is in her blood and her mother’s milk.
Her foreign connections, bribes, donors and handlers all spell treason in my book, and treason explains the somewhat urgent need for private email account(s), vitally necessary to running an under cover operation meant to buy and sell favors and ensconce her in the presidency.
Hillary will maybe rue this day of the gala.
What you don’t think Trey Gowdy and his WD 40 hairdo won’t hold her to account?
Me neither
Cipriani ain’t the Grove. But point taken. This is the Clinton’s shaking down Wall Street one more time. Only maybe it is dawning on them, they aren’t going to get a thing from them... period.
Who would give money to an old syphillis ridden pervert and his queer, criminal conspirator (ostensible)wife, and their nearly obstuse dumbass daughter with her loser husband (son of a criminal congressman, in the federal pen or recently out)? Only people like Epstein and other fellow pervs who think they are above the laws moral and otherwise.
Well giver her iddums a kiss, and then find a basin quick for a whiskey rinse out. That broad is a real prize... a real piece of abject delusional grandeur trash.
