Don’t forget the straight out money laundering. Some contributor will buy a warehouse full and just dumpster them.
Exactly! Watch for the Chairman Mao shirts again, then we'll know she got millions again from the "Chinese dishwashers" living in garages.

All that’s missing is Yakkety Sax.

LOL! That’s hilarious.
Going to post a short piece by Andy McCarthy.
McCarthy’s starting to be right up there with Steyn with me.
Incredibly apt post and pic! Even sans the proper soundtrack!

Agreed. He’s a smart lawyer and not afraid to speak out.
The guy inside the Plane ,is he her Personal Catcher
Politicians don’t write books for people to buy in bookstores. Politicians write books so that supporters can buy 1,000’s of them. It’s a way to get around campaign finance laws. If I want to give $1M to a politician to support his/her views, I can just buy 50-100K copies of one of their books. I don’t even want to take delivery of the books.
Hitlary is only setting the stage to divert from the obvious. Gowdy will go after her if/when she is put on the stand and supposedly under oath. What makes us all think she would ever tell the truth since “what difference does it make”?
Hillary doesn’t ‘do’ under oath. I think it’s an EO her husband somehow slipped in.
Does anyone notice that with the current President, as well as the Clintons, the debate, no matter how it is framed, is always about "me"--even if they use the words, "best for the country"?
Where is the eloquence of a Washington, an Adams, a Jefferson, or even of a Reagan?
The very nature of the "miracle at Philadelphia" was one of passionate defense of liberty for future generations, selflessness in the face of danger to the personal life and property of the participants, and of a greater interest in the lives and liberties of countrymen than in the careers of themselves.
Perhaps leaders in Washington today might consider Jefferson's description of how he and his contemporaries in the early days approached matters of interest for the new nation:
Thomas Jefferson:
"Sitting near me on some occasion of a trifling but wordy debate, he asked how I could sit in silence hearing so much false reasoning which a word should refute? I observed to him that to refute indeed was easy, but to silence impossible. That in measures brought forward by myself, I took the laboring oar, as was incumbent on me; but that in general I was willing to listen. If every sound argument or objection was used by some one or other of the numerous debaters, it was enough: if not, I thought it sufficient to suggest the omission, without going into a repetition of what had been already said by others. That this was a waste and abuse of the time and patience of the house which could not be justified. And I believe that if the members of deliberative bodies were to observe this course generally, they would do in a day what takes them a week, and it is really more questionable, than may at first be thought, whether Bonaparte's dumb legislature which said nothing and did much, may not be preferable to one which talks much and does nothing. I served with General Washington in the legislature of Virginia before the revolution, and, during it, with Dr. Franklin in Congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point which was to decide the question. They laid their shoulders to the great points, knowing that the little ones would follow of themselves. If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send 150. lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, & talk by the hour? That 150. lawyers should do business together ought not to be expected."

Such men can still be found. I've been fortunate to know a few.
-— That was the best possible answer Trey Gowdy could have given. -—
Agreed. I see it as a more clever way of saying, “it’s not worth my time.”
All those Freeps in 1999 and 2000 at the White House were just a waste of time; same thing with the Freeps in 2003 of her first book tour.
Glad you told me.
No problem—you’re a good egg.
We need new generations of men who, having studied their nation's founding principles, will "lay their shoulders to the great points" essential to liberty so that youth may be inspired and motivated to break free of dependency on the false words of would-be tyrants.
