The Soft Corruption of Clinton, Inc. -- And How It Could Cost Democrats the Presidency
The Huffington Post ^ | May 5, 2015 | by Miles Mogulescu

If you're someone who wants to lessen the dominance of concentrated wealth over our political system, end the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington, significantly reduce income inequality and avoid foolish wars, do not be deceived that Hillary Clinton is your ally.

Moreover, if the Democrats anoint Hillary as their nominee, there is a significant danger that public disgust at her soft corruption, and lack of trust in the veracity of her campaign pledges, could lead to a Republican becoming the next President.

For their entire political careers, the Clintons have been servants of the oligarchy. Since President Clinton left office, they have parlayed the presidency and State Department into tens of millions of dollars in personal wealth, paid for by the oligarchy, which has in turn transformed them from mere servants to full-fledged members of the oligarchy. They have transformed the presidency and the State Department into the biggest revolving door of all between Washington and Wall Street.

Hillary's soft corruption, and the distrust she instills in too many voters, could lead to a Democratic defeat. It may seem counterintuitive, but nominating Elizabeth Warren could allow the Democrats to again seize the banner of change and inspire millions of otherwise complacent voters to come to the polls.

A Republican Presidential victory in 2016 would be disastrous to the country and disastrous to the middle class and poor. But that could be the sad outcome if no serious Democratic challenger takes on the soft corruption of Clinton, Inc.

And if Hillary Clinton is anointed the next Democratic Presidential nominee and manages to defeat any of the prospective Republican nominees, the United States will continue to have great wealth concentration and little meaningful democracy.

I don’t know what he really thought honestly, as it changed by the post. But he seemed fine with the idea that you can warp the hell out of a thing beyond recognition to its polar opposite and still claim it to be the same thing it began as.

“Soft corruption”?

LOL, Clinton corruption is about as “soft” as a brick through a window. But hey, if a soccer mom or barbie or grey hag does it, then it’s “nuanced.”

Setting things up for the Obama crew to send in whoever they pick

Well, kinda.

There's a titanic battle going on in the shadows. Team Obama vs. Team Clinton, other players unannounced or undeclared.

Obama can indict Hillary and send her to prison. She can avoid this by discovering the joy of changing Charlotte's diapers and retiring while Mr. and Mrs. Mezvinsky are out cheating less well connected hedge fund people and buying up Manhattan.

But wait! Hillary can't retire, because she and Bill have collected hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for promissory notes to foreign thugs and enemies, and if she retires, they will be after both of the Arkansas grifters.

So, to stop her indictment or her assassination by angry Kazakhs (or whoever), she has to take a shot at Obama. Presumably, both Clintons have the birth certificate and all other relevant information.

But they can't shoot at Obama and miss, because then it's the hoosegow for certain.

I think the powers that created "Obama" are planning a Reichstag Fire, with Obama himself in the role of the Reichstag. Once Hillary is nominated (if she ever is), Obama is dispensible AND his violent removal, timed right, the only thing that could guarantee her election.

It's very tough watching the shadow play, not knowing who strikes first, or how much of a mess they will create.

The Clintons’ “soft corruption” was responsible for the “wall” between the FBI and CIA (to prevent information about their illegal campaign funds becoming known) which may have prevented the 9/11 attackers from being caught in advance. Plus Bill’s nonchalant attitude towards the threat of terrorism caused him to reject the offer by the Sudan to turn over Osama bin Laden. Not something the media ever mentions...it is more important to try to determine if Christie knew about the orange cones blocking lanes of traffic.

Because the country, the middle class, and the poor has done so great under a democrat such as Obama, right?

Hard corruption is strictly Republican.

People truly see HRC as their secular savior. Look in their eyes for proof.

The Teapot Dome scandal of 1921-24 is still brought up as a mega-scandal still tarnishing the Harding Administration, and Republicans by implication.

Sec. of the Interior Albert Fall did time for selling oil leases at Teapot Dome in Wyo., and two CA sites at cut rates in no-bid contracts.

Oh well then. No wonder WJC’s more than two decades of constant acts of corruption don’t raise an eyebrow anywhere. Impeachment didn’t even matter.

Didn't want that error to stand.
