The Clinton's see America as theirs to sell.

New information about donations to Hillary Clinton’s family foundation and her husband have her on the defensive. It’s also going to make it harder to go on offense.
When Clinton announced her campaign, she outlined four big fights she would take on. One of the pillars of her pitch was that she wanted to fix “our dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all, even if that takes a constitutional amendment.”
This position has political appeal. Voters think the system is rigged, and they think big money helps those in power keep it rigged. For a populist campaign of the kind Clinton wants to run, it would be helpful to run against Republican operations where the donors are hidden and where mountains of money pour in against her.
One of the big questions in politics is just how big money donations compromise the people who receive it. No matter how noble the cause or how good a speaker you are, when someone writes a check with a string of zeros, there’s a chance he wants something in return beyond your good works and inspirational message. That’s certainly what Democrats, including Bill Clinton, have suggested about the vast amounts of cash that go to conservative candidates.

This campaign finance pillar of the Clinton campaign appears to be weakened already, but some campaign finance advocates were skeptical that Clinton was ever going to have a big fight over campaign finance reform as she pledged, seeing the policy gambit as a way to inoculate herself from the questions raised by donations to her family foundation. We’ll see in the coming months if she takes on this cause. She’s got to get off defense first.

These revelations have made it HARDER for the MSM to cover for the Clintons' criminal actions - hobbles their ability to attack and smear conservatives and their backers.
They're trying to get ahead of it - trying to figure out how to sell the Clinton brand - their despicable "sausage making" - into a palatable political lemonade.
This news cycle has certainly taken away an effective and useful weapon in the media arsenal. What they're left to work with (find a way to turn it off) is a bright, flashing Clinton "crime family" neon sign CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE.
The Clintons' have never produced anything. Instead, they've marketed themselves to the public (and their mainstream media ad men are complicit) as good and caring people to gain power -- selling off favors, pardons, political pull, and bits and pieces of our country to climb the ladder of power - all to fill their hands and pockets with treasure, as they "fix" our Republic to fit their socialist ideal (because they care and want to be the peoples' champion).
Juxtiposition this with the way the Democratic Party Machine in Wisconsin launched a "secret war" on conservatives and their right of free speech - their right to support (financially and vocally) those who could advance their cause.
As they say, bad optics.
“unaccountable” money.
She’ll take billionaires’ fundraising money though, as long as they attach their name to it
“Clinton begins campaign by denouncing the big money flowing into our politics.....”
but NOT denouncing the big money flowing into HER account. THAT big money is Perfectly FINE with Hillary, indeed she Demands it for all the “favors” she does for her “contributors” while abusing any office she may hold.
When, O when, will be be able to at least stop electing and making multi-millionaires out of
a. corrupt political hacks
b. that lie through their teeth and
c. sell out America and our defenses and allies
d. and our jobs
e. and our liberties
f. for 30 (million) pieces of Silver (at a time)
g. and then have the ‘audacity’ to lie to us about THAT, too?
Not only should the Clintons be attacked (Bill, Hillary AND Chelsea), but also anyone who steps forward to protect/defend them.
Anyone with an ounce of brains can see that the Clintons family is the most corrupt political family in US history.
Anyone who defends their actions should be prosecuted for “accessory after the fact.”
Those evil Republicans, taking money from fat cats. They’re only interested in themselves.
“Off with their heads,” shouted the Red Queen.
If she takes down obama on her way to prison, that should be taken into consideration for a lighter sentence.
In a just world, the Klintoons would be serving long terms in federal prison. But instead, they evade the blades of justice time and again. Maybe.. just maybe.. someday they’ll pay a price.
Clinton family = democrat party
PERIOD!
The Clinton's see America as theirs to sell.
There's no such thing.
Witness "Operation Chokepoint".
The Clinton campaign is just money laundering. She can’t get five people to show up to see her, but she’ll claim billions in donations.
She was in on killing Qadaffi and stealing his fortune. She likes to spend money. She will spend the money she took from a dead Qadaffi and that will be visible. It will have to be explained. She will claim it’s campaign donations and speaking fees.
If she gets the nomination and wins, so much the better for her.
But, but, Speaker Boner said himself just the other day: “The Clintons are good people..” or some such gibberish...the whole bunch seems to be wrapped up in some sort of protective cocoon. Despicable, the whole bunch!
Democrat donations: Buy influence which includes un-Constitutional special interest laws to fleece taxpayers of their money and put it in the pockets of Democrat cronies.
Republican donations: Buy influence if Republicans get elected. Attract IRS audits, FBI swats (Gibson guitars, Wisconsin thuggery), media smears, ...
Yeah, Hil.... who needs to bitch about Citizens United when they have their private foundation to channel bribes through?
So, anyone can approach her when her trunk is open and buy some uranium?
Clinton must not be elected, if for no other reasons than these:
1) Her past will yield to blackmail
2) As a woman, no Muslim, Nork, or likely, ChiCom will deal with her. Muslims won’t even shake her hand, let alone listen. Norks will laugh behind their teeth, and the ChiComs have dirt up the yin yang on her.
Now Russia, Russia practically owns this _itch. Um, dyke.
