That’s one thing I have trouble with these days: outrageous-sounding things are routinely said by libs & Dems, making it hard to distinguish ridiculous fact from fiction.

I agree 100%. Writing political satire seems to have become one of the toughest jobs out there nowadays.

Actually, Hillary's claim that they came out of the White House dead broke is a flat ass lie.

Hillary was given an 8 million dollar advance on a book about her self and the deal was signed before the Clinton's left the White House in Jan 2001.

The reason the deal for the advance was signed while the Clintons were still in the White House was because immediately after the the transition for the 2000 election, Hillary was sworn in as NY Senator and the book deal was illegal and unethical under the rules governing the conduct of Senators.

The book deal and it's unprecedented 8 million dollar cash advance therefore had to be cut while Senator Co-President was still technically a private citizen.

The Clintons had about 5 million dollars in legal bills defending themselves from scandals , such as selling nuclear weapons and other technology to the Chinese in return for campaign cash, during Bill's tenure as President, so the book deal could have paid off their legal bills, what Hillary euphemistically refers to as their “debts”, and left them 3 million bucks ahead of the game before they left the White House.

Of course, the Clinton's never paid a dime of their legal bills. They had wealthy donors and the recipients of Clinton pardons contribute money to pay the debts.

Perhaps Hillary should not dredge up the past.

The American people have short memories and it will not be to their benefit to have people revisiting the past, especially since the we are 15 years out from the partisan heat of the moment and have had plenty of time to see how destructive the Clinton's actions were to then US, especially his policies towards China that have really hurt the United States.
