Clinton maxes out to 19 Democratic House candidates
The Hill ^ | 07/30/18 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 07/30/2018 8:27:25 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Hillary Clinton has waded further into the 2018 midterm elections, donating $5,000 to 19 different Democratic House candidates.

Clinton made the maximum contribution to each candidate through her political organization, Onward Together. She also chipped in $5,000 to four different secretary of state candidates up for election in November, according to campaign finance filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

CNN first reported that of the 19 House candidates to receive support from Clinton, 11 are running to unseat incumbent Republicans in districts she won in the 2016 presidential election.

Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Clinton, told CNN that the former presidential candidate and secretary of State is trying to work in concert with the Democratic Party, adding that there “has never been a more important midterm election.”

Among the candidates Clinton is supporting is Mike Levin, who is hoping to topple Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) in November, as well as Harley Rouda, who is running against Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-Calif.).

Clinton has yet to make an appearance on the campaign trail ahead of November’s midterms, though she has remained politically active since losing to President Trump in the 2016 election.

Clinton has given multiple speeches and been critical via Twitter of the president's rhetoric and his administration's policies.

Trump has also ensured Clinton remains relevant, as he occasionally questions why she is not under investigation for her use of a private email server while secretary of State during diatribes against the special counsel's Russia investigation.

A faction of conservative lawmakers has pressed Attorney General Jeff Sessions to appoint a second special counsel to investigate Clinton. He has thus far declined to do so.

> “Trump has also ensured Clinton remains relevant, as he occasionally questions why she is not under investigation for her use of a private email server while secretary of State during diatribes against the special counsel’s Russia investigation.”

So Trump’s question is not legitimate because he engages in ‘diatribes’?

Let’s see, if I am taken to court for committing a crime, the charges may be dismissed because the prosecutor engaged in a diatribe. Ok, sure.

I understand that the anti-Trumpers like "Bert" here are just not that bright.

I myself would stop to ask why exactly the President of the United States is doing a "diatribe", considering what he could REALLY do.

My guess is that the "diatribe" is a distraction from whatever the President has going on in the background.

Oh, and that Brett Samuels is a double-digit IQ, mouth-breathing effing retard.

I'll board that particular train the week before the November election if Sessions and his people haven't pulled the trigger on the Demoslimes.

If you still believe that is possible, you might want to look up naive in the dictionary.

But...about $100K, for such a rich woman?

Seems stingy; but, I forgot: she used to write-off Bill’s used underwear...

So the state Secretary of State strategy is real and in play. Fund highly partisan SoS to bog down the federal government with lawfare and simply ignoring federal laws and to trigger interstate fighting between gop held states. I believe scotus has the ability to restructure the court system and appeals system. They ought to restructure the court system to have a government agency vs government agency system set aside to expedite hearings, limit appeals and provide an inferior special scotus to render final judgement with the consent of the classic SCOTUS.

$26 Billion went back to Mexico last year.

How much wall can we buy with that?

Seize every dime of it from illegals. They have no right to work already.

“She” didn’t donate one cent of her own money. No Clinton ever does.
