WASHINGTON — An upstate New York developer donated $100,000 to former President Bill Clinton’s foundation in November 2004, around the same time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the businessman’s mall project.

Wow! And from NYT no less! Will any R bring this up in her confirmation coronation hearings?

[Mr. K]

it’s only wrong if REPUBLICANS do this

[cherry]

the article goes on to say that this guy is a “major” Pub donator....thus, the Rats are immediately exonerated.....everyone knows, especially the wicked NYT, that Rats never, ever accept bribes.......

Just a lucky coincidence.

Sort of like a win at the roulette table with a single bet, then walking away (think cattle futures experience)

Frankly I can’t understand why this is news. We know it happens all the time and the media knows it happens all the time. We also know no one will ever do anything about it.

Co-inkydink, don’tcha think?

Hmmm. Another baby-killer turns out to be a crook?

Why is it that people who support killing babies are not paragons of virtue when it comes to other matters? I just don’t get it.

“There was no connection with Bill Clinton and the ‘green bonds’ and the contribution,” Mr. Congel said in an interview. “None at all.”

There, that takes care of it. The man says there is no connection. //sarc

Congel has an estate on Skaneateles Lake in upstate NY. The Clintoons stayed there while they were still in office, much to the dismay of many of the residents on the lake.....they were not welcome in a few of the local restaurants.....when asked the owner of Doug's Fish Fry to shut down so the Clintoons could dine they he simply said they can stand in line like everyone else.....

That's exactly what I was thinking. Another appointment of Obama's is caught in the pay-to-play scandal. It will be hilarious if Hillary has to resign too. LOL

That’s so messed up, I checked nothing came up, I was surprised, sorry about that.

I’m sure this is the only time the Clinton’s have benefited from a ‘pay to play’ campaign contributor. /s

This is going to be a hell of a four years of scandal. What can we expect from retreads of the Clinton years!

‘Change we can believe in’ my rear end~
