When it comes to Pickles Clinton, the list of scandals is longer than the Mississippi River.

How could Seth macfarlane like Hillary and donate to her? He is rightly horrified and sneaked out that info about the pedophiles in Hollywood, but never connected the evils of the Clintons / pedostas to that of Weinstein?

I think the toupee glue damages these guys brains.

It is true. No one talks about the missing orphans from Haiti or Bills proclivities on Pedo Island (where the girls were all under 18).

If Hillary ever gets indicted for any felony, I will donate $100 to FR (over what I already donate).

Anyone care to match it?

It’s all play money anyway. She will never be formally charged.

Outrageous the amount of money spent on that pantsuit enrobed glob.

To me, the biggest crime ever committed when it comes to campaign “financing”, is how the democrats were able to turn the media, over the years, to be permanent mouthpieces for their party.
IMHO you have the causality backward. Journalists have the motive of wanting to be, as Adam Smith put it, our “leaders and directors” by virtue of being believed. And journalists have the motive to be socialist because socialism sells.

Socialism is cynicism towards society and (concomitant) naiveté towards government. Journalism’s profitability depends on its ability to prevent people from ignoring it, and the recipe for achieving that is to claim that negativity towards society is “objective.” But “the conceit that ‘negativity is objectivity’” is a very serviceable definition of cynicism..

Thus we see that journalism and the Democratic Party are in a symbiotic relationship, both criticizing society and promoting bigger government.

But a critical point about the regulation of campaign financing is that Republicans have no motive to want to do it, and Democrats (who get free advertising from journalism) do. And so (at least in their role as persuaders) do journalists. The First Amendment does not allow for licensing of journalism, and yet McCain-Feingold actually lists newspapers who have the right to promote their own editorial choices for public office during campaign season. “The freedom of the press” should be understood as the right of the people to spend their own money to promote their own (religious, political, and other) opinions.

Considering that the authors of The Federalist Papers (John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton) published under a pseudonym and thus arguably did not believe that the Constitution would have been ratified if they had written under their own names, even a prohibition against anonymous publication of political argumentation looks like a violation of

Amendment 9
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
In short, I believe that “Campaign Finance Reform” is newspeak for government interference in the First Amendment rights of the people. And the crime involved is the passage, signing, and SCOTUS approval of such “laws.” But that is not a position that any Democrat is likely to take . . .

There seem to be plenty of crimes to the charge of Mrs Clinton, including financial ones especially. Violation, as Secretary of State, of the “Emoluments Clause” of the Constitution would be very prominent in any list I would make. But IMHO “campaign finance reform” has severely damaged the political parties. But Emailgate - the illegal and dangerous, hence deeply immoral, use of a clandestine private server to store and transmit government secrets and to evade FOIA - might be the worst thing Hillary has done. And Mr. Obama was down with it.

they won’t have to cover it, but how will they explain their hero’s wearing orange standing behind bars?
Evil Republicans!
Who says they ever have to explain anything? The truth is that wire service journalism is a monopoly.

The biggest scandal is that she still walks free.
She should be jailed until she swings for one of these hundreds of scandals.

Oh. They’ll do something this time. Yup. They sure will. Just like all the other times they did over the last 25 years.

Perp walks. When we see peep walks of significant players then there might be something worth looking at. Until then it’s just posturing, obfuscation, and BS.

Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.

I want BENGHAZI!!! 4 Americans killed, where are the 20 something Americans at the “Annex” and what happened to them, where is Gaddafi’s $6 billion in gold, and how many countless killed because of the chaos in Libya? Thanks to Hitlery and 0bola getting Gaddafi tortured and killed! How many arms got sent or stolen out of Libya and killed Americans and others?

How many moslems and Africans would not be flooding into Europe had Libya not become a s***hole due to Hitlery and 0b0la?

BENGHAZI and LIBYA cannot be forgotten about or swept under the rug! JUSTICE!
