Hillary's Campaign Contribution

Posted on 02/11/2008 7:12:09 AM PST by JEC

This was sent to me by a co-worker and it raises a very good question as to how her sleazness will make money on this deal.

So Hillary (haaauuuggghhhh! spit!) Clinton decides to loan her presidential campaign five million bucks of her own money…

I got to thinking about this. There’s a lot of campaign money coming in. I mean, unions, Chinese janitors, Buddhist monks, you know the standard dimmo contributions. But that’s not HER money, that’s campaign money. And when the campaign is over, she doesn’t get to keep it.

So, let’s say she goes to a friendly bank and borrows five million for her campaign. Naturally, she has to pay back that five mil plus interest, right. Okay, okay, you know she has to LOOK like she did, anyway… So she pays back six million. The bank makes a profit, which is what banks like to do.

But she didn’t borrow from a bank. She lent her campaign her own money, and one would assume that the campaign will again pay her back, plus interest.

So my question to you, readers: did we just see Her Nastiness figure out a way to scam a profit off her own campaign contributions?

I read that the Hillary self-loan was stated to be a no-interest loan.

By the way, when John Kerry loaned $$ to his campaign, he charged interest.

Before I read your post I started thinking the same thing. I wonder if she is charging CC rates. Yep, 29% on an unsecured loan to a campaign, which are notorious for not paying debts when they lose. Seems like a reasonable return AND since their reputation precedes them, everyone will naturally think the arrangement MUST be to their benefit.

Where did Hillary get $5 million? Sh got $7 million from her “book”, of which the government got 40% in taxes, leaving $4.2 million. Her salary as senator at $200k per year would be eaten up in maintaining two homes in NY and DC, plus living and traveling expenses. The REAL QUESTION IS:

WHERE DID THE 5$ MILLION COME FROM?................

Any “gifts”, including a lunch paid for by someone else, must be declared or is illegal outright. Flights at discounts or free are also. Unless she invested her money in “cattle futures” again, $5 million is suspect.....

She paid $2.5 million for her DC mansion and $1 million for “renovations”. Let’s see, that leaves...

Which is code for the MSM to "take no interest" in this story.........

I heard on Rush that her campaign didn’t even NEED to borrow money. It was a ploy to generate more campaign funding. So, if she lends her campaign money it doesn’t need, and she gets interest in the end, then she does come out on top.

Hmmmmm....

Most likely from her favorite Chinese takeout place where they give out 5 million dollar fortune cookies. They're low carb, have no trans fats, and are tax and MSG free.

Silly rabbit, Hillary doesn't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.

Remember, Bill has quite a bit too, and I recall reading somewhere together they’ve gather $47 million or so (speeches, “investments” like blind trusts and such, property...).

Listen, The clintons do not care about money except for the power it brings them. If they need cash everyone knows that they will sell or steal anything they need. The people that want her elected are willing to buy what ever favors they can get.

Hillary is a grifter, so the answer is YES.

Don’t lose any sleep trying to figure out anything about Hillary’s finances. After 8 yrs. of the Clintons and their theft of 50 yrs. of national security nuclear secret selling to the Chinese, nobody in this country cares if Hillary robs banks and has been caught on film doing it in every town she campaigns in. Where the Clintons receive their $ makes no difference to anyone. That’s been proven.
