As Clinton asks for money, what she says a remains a mystery

PROVINCETOWN, Mass. — It was a very busy, very lucrative weekend for Hillary Clinton in the summer playground of the East Coast's moneyed elite.

She brunched with wealthy backers at a seaside estate in Nantucket, snacking on shrimp dumplings and crabcakes. A few hours later, she and her husband dined with an intimate party of thirty at a secluded Martha's Vineyard estate. And on Sunday afternoon, she joined the singer Cher at a "LGBT summer celebration" on the far reaches of Cape Cod.

By Sunday evening, Clinton had spoken to more than 2,200 campaign donors. But what she told the crowds remains a mystery.

Clinton has refused to open her fundraisers to journalists, reversing nearly a decade of greater transparency in presidential campaigns and leaving the public guessing at what she's saying to some of her most powerful supporters.

Yes, Huffington Post. In short, I really wonder did the MSM discover the link between the Clinton Foundation and the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fund--a fund embroiled in a huge embezzlement scandal. And the 1MDB scandal could end up taking down much of Hollywood with it because the embezzled 1MDB funds were donated to the Leonardo DeCaprio Foundation, another charity now facing increasing scrutiny for the way it operates and its use of very lavish fundraisers (the Hollywood Reporter reported a few days ago the last DiCaprio Foundation fundraiser on July 20, 2016 was an exercise in excessive hedonism).

In short, the 1MDB debacle could end up taking down the Clintons AND the Hollywood Left along with it.

Speaking of Romney, *nobody* at these events sneaks a recording?

I’d love to be outside with a spectrum analyzer (SS frowns on SA’s and scanners at these events though). I’d love to get the feed to her earbud.

True.

I saw picture after picture of Hill hauling in the cash this weekend. I didn’t see a single picture of Bill with her. Where was Bill?

Four years ago this would have been the death knell of any campaign. It merely goes to illustrate how morally far we have fallen as a nation that it is now unremarkable.

I am struck by the photos included. The "journalists" look like Valley Girls, huddled together sharing their Journolist talking points and the "meme for the day".

A New AD came out by the RNC about Hillary’s Fundraising Blitz.

No.
What she is says is “Give me money and I’ll give you stuff. Cycle some of what you get back to me, and I’ll give you more stuff.”

GREAT to see! Thanks for that link. This is a good start but it was a bit quick - hope viewers take the time to see all the details of their graphic.

“Speaking of Romney, *nobody* at these events sneaks a recording?” If they did, they would risk their life making it public. But wouldn’t it be nice!
