And this bad news for Hillary is after she lent the campaign $5 million, isn’t it?

Does anyone else think it odd that the Clintons loaned the campaign the $5 million, and then embarked on a new round of fundraising? What get me about that is, if you are contributing to Billary now, they are going to take your money and repay themselves from the campaign funds. In other words, the loan to the campaign becomes an expense of the campaign, to be paid from campaign funds. Even if you just love Bill and Hillary, do you really want to contribute just to see your money go back into their bank account?

The sad thing is so many of their contributors are probably too stupid to even see it for what it is. They just follow along like lemmings, opening their wallets for the “smartest woman in America”. All the while she is playing them for fools and robbing them blind.

Hillary’s loan, with interest

Hillary Clinton’s $5 million loan to her campaign won’t be a total loss for the candidate.

Campaign finance documents filed today show that she’s charging her campaign an interest rate of 1.26 percent.

It’s a modest rate which means that — if she pays herself back with donor contributions — she still would have been better off putting her money in a savings account at a commercial bank.

Mitt Romney this year did not charge his campaign interest,he donated the money.

Clinton’s loan has not, however, been paid back.

(Thanks to the reader who pointed this one out. Both candidates filings are now up at fec.gov; let me know what you find, as many eyes are better than two.)

CORRECTION: John Kerry’s loan was a bank loan, and the campaign paid interest to the bank.

Are you sure the 1.26% on Hillary’s! isn’t a monthly rate for a APR of almost 16%?

Hmmmm.... I would say it as just as likely that Hillary REALLY lent her campaign $5 million, as it is that she returned all the ‘bundled’ and ‘illegal’ campaign contributions.
