Politics And Money: Remember the rolling disclosures of the last presidency, when the Clintons would release just enough information after a scandal broke to placate the pliant media? Well, here they go again.
Only this time, they are telegraphing that they will keep certain things altogether secret should they return to the White House as co-presidents. And you thought they couldn't be more brazen.
Both Clintons, for example, have refused to disclose the names of donors to the William J. Clinton Foundation. Bill says he will remain mum about all past donors, though he didn't say that in so many words. As usual, you have to closely parse his words. Speaking of Hillary, he said, "If she gets elected president, I will disclose the contributions that people make from there going forward."
Catch that? He will let the public know about any donations going forward — that is, after January 2009 — but not one donation before then. The $100 million-plus in donations raised for his library, "global initiatives" and other Clinton activities until that point will remain anonymous. In short, he really doesn't plan to disclose a thing.

I sure hope that the tax laws, and the IRS, are up to fingering the donators to the double-wide sham, and to her Thighness’s 2007 bid for coronation.
I really hope that the IRS has Chinese translators on their staff!

Bill Clinton brings Reservoir Dogs to London with his entourage of over 20 bodyguards
Mr Clinton stood down in 2001. Former Presidents and their spouses are entitled to be guarded by the Secret Service for ten years after they leave office.
He flew to Britain to attend a fundraising meeting at a private house in Windsor for Democrats Abroad.
His wife Hillary is a frontrunner to win the Democrats' presidential nomination.
BTTT
So Newt says if he were to run for President he would not only have to step down as head of American Solutions but he would have to cut all ties to them and not use any of their money for his campaign. But Bill says (to Greta Van Susteren last week) that if Hillary is elected he will continue to run his foundation. I am confused as to how this is 1)legal; 2)ethical; 3)apparently not a cause for concern to all those people who continually accuse Republicans (Dick Cheney!) of unethical business practices. I’m just sayin.

I guess you haven’t heard that Newt is not running, huh?
"...and after she gets elected we'll call it EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE."
S.S.D.D.
And remember during the Clinton presidency we all used to google: Clinton National Security Scandal and Coverup
[it's that time again]
Media Matters (Hillary’s media hit-team) went after him.
