Hillary Clinton Isn't Ready to Disclose Who's Funding Her Campaign
Mother Jones ^ | 6 May 15 | PATRICK CALDWELL

Posted on 05/07/2015 6:34:51 AM PDT by elhombrelibre

On the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton has been pushing hard to overhaul of the country's broken campaign finance system. "We need to fix our dysfunctional political system and get unaccounted money out of it, once and for all, even if that takes a constitutional amendment," Clinton said during one of her first official speeches in Iowa last month.

Clinton's campaign finance rhetoric appears to be aimed at super-PACs, the quasi-independent organizations that bolster campaigns by buying ads. But when it comes to the major funders behind her own presidential campaign, the Democratic front-runner has yet to answer questions about how transparent she's willing to be. When Mother Jones questioned the Clinton camp about whether it will disclose the names and fundraising totals of the key supporters—known as "bundlers"—who raise vast sums of cash, a spokesperson declined to provide an answer, saying only that the campaign was still figuring out its plans.

Wow, Mother Jones is asking these questions. We all know Nixon must feel vindicated by the Clinton Crime Family Foundation and their selling of the Lincoln Bedroom and the US foreign policy.

I’ll bet it’s donors to their “Clinton Foundation” money machine.

She’ll disclose what she and her handlers want disclosed...and only that much...just as soon as all the fake paper trails are in place. Be patient, a good cover-up takes time.

Actually, I’ve enjoyed pointing out to people elsewhere that when it came to fraud and identify and intimidating opponents and threats, Nixon was basically a choir boy compared to FDR and LBJ and the Kennedy brothers. I can reasonably assume FDR did not give Hoover orders to spy on Charles Lindbergh, amongst others, just because Hoover had a thing for wearing women’s things under his 3 piece suits.

Guaranteed to piss off liberals on discussion boards when you mention such things.

The Left is doing their level best to strangle the Hillary candidacy in its crib. They want the Fake Indian.

Thanks for the interesting article and forgive my repeating of myth #1 in my initial post, lol. I took a look at Wikipedia’s write up on Hoover and it mentioned that Richard Nixon was quoted in 1971 saying he did not want to fire Hoover over fear of possible reprisals from Hoover.

Still eye opening to see how Hoover was put to very good use by Democrat presidents over the years, though.

Let’s face it. Even the Left fears revelations about the Clintons that could scuttle the Hillary Clinton campaign in no time flat. Especially Hillary, who the Left have a lot of mixed feelings about.

I said as soon as we heard the book Clinton Cash was announced that there would be comparisons between the Clinton Foundation and what William Magear "Boss" Tweed did when hen controlled New York City's famous Tammany Hall between the early 1850's and 1873. And it appears the comparisons are more valid than people think.
