CNN Reporter: Clinton Tax Returns Prove ‘Dead Broke’ Comment Untrue

Hillary Clinton‘s tax returns will not only set a major obstacle in her campaign to prove herself a Regular Person™ but, according to CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny, they prove her past statements to be completely false.

According to her latest tax returns, released by the campaign late this week, the Clintons earned nearly $141 million from 2007 to 2014.

And as CNN’s senior Washington correspondent Zeleny told John King on Sunday, such enormous wealth definitively contradicts the candidate’s assertion to Diane Sawyer that she and her husband were “dead broke.”

SHAZAAM!!

BREAKING NEWS ON CNN!!

So Hillary! lied?

Unbelievable!

Thanks for keeping the public informed.

Well technically she said they were dead broke in 2001 as they left the WH...of course that’s bull$hit too.

[Secret Agent Man]

Its good to spend your entire life collecting money and amassing so much that you leave a nice big pile for someone else to enjoy after you die.

[Rock Eye Jack]

CNN exposes the bloody obvious

[ChildOfThe60s]

She didn’t lie. She inadvertently told an untruth because she mis-remembered.

[BenLurkin]

They never returned the sofa they stole from the White House.

During any seduction, political or otherwise, a candidate cannot be held responsible for anything his mouth says when his brain is only focused on succeeding.

LOL I think I saw it at the Clinton Library when I visited there last month.

[rawcatslyentist]

How dare they question the word of her majesty! Named after Sir Edmund! Braved sniper fire in Bosnia!

[Bruce Kurtz]

You don’t say?

They may have been technically ‘dead broke’ on paper in ‘01. At the time they owed several million$$$ to the attorneys who handled Bill’s legal “issues.’ BUT it’s like a 34.5 year old trust fund baby whose trust doesn’t come till they’re 35. They knew that they’d be raking in the big bux as soon as they were out of 1600 PA Ave.

Even though what one earns in 2007 has nothing to do with their financial condition six years earlier, we need to thank CNN for this rare acorn from the blind squirrel.

It is commonly accepted that most people (especially the low info voter crowd) do not read or hear past the headline or first paragraph. In this case they hear:

HILLARY LIED

That alone is worth the price of admission.

Boy...nothing gets by CNN....

PLEASE MAKE YOUR DONATION!

My Cousin’s husband was head of the Clinton Legal Defense Fund. Some great convos at family reunions, LOL.

Well technically she said they were dead broke in 2001 as they left the WH

They were below sea level financially when they left office in 2001. But that's before you count their enormous inventory of unsold influence.

[Paine in the Neck]

"I'm dead broke, I tell ya'!"





Remember, this is the woman who, back in the day, was claiming deductions for donating Bill's used underwear.

[Dilbert San Diego]

When they left the White House, they had some big legal bills.

But, somehow before leaving the White House, they were able to buy 2 mansions, one in Chapaqqua(sp?) so Hillary could pretend to be a New York resident and run for Senate. The other mansion was in a swank Washington, DC neighborhood, as Hillary needed a place to live in Washington as a senator.

[uncitizen]

What difference.....

[Pearls Before Swine]

The news here is that it was mentioned on CNN.
