Hillary: Karl Rove Behind Attacks
Newsmax ^ | January 24, 2016 | Greg Richter

Posted on 01/24/2016 9:31:43 AM PST by Hojczyk

Republican operative Karl Rove is behind an attack ad aimed at turning Iowa caucus-goers against her, Democrat Hillary Clinton said Sunday on "Meet the Press."

Clinton was asked by moderator Chuck Todd whether big banks paying her more than $200,000 per speech hurt her credibility.

Clinton responded that she gave speeches to a "wide array of groups," after ending her stint at President Barack Obama's secretary of state.

"People were interested in what I saw, what I thought," she said. "Americans doing business in every aspect of the economy want to know more about the world."

"You don’t think they expect anything in return?" Todd asked.

"Absolutely not," Clinton insisted, pointing out that she took on Wall Street during her time as senator from New York.

"And its really interesting to me that now Karl Rove is taking money from the financial interests who run an ad against me to try and influence Democrats not to support me," she said. "Why? Ask yourself why? Because he knows,

1. I know what needs to be done, and

2. I know how to get it done to make sure Wall Street writ large, not just the big banks but the investment banks, hedge funds, and everybody else, can no longer wreck our economy the way they did in 2008."

The ad to which Clinton referred was made by Rove's super PAC, American Crossroads. It accuses Clinton of being able to pay for her massive TV ad buys with money from Wall Street interests.

A graphic in the ad shows Clinton receiving $6.4 million from Wall Street speaking fees and only $118,000 from Iowans contributing to her campaign.

"Hillary rewarded Wall Street with the $700 billion bailout," the ad's announcer says. "Does Iowa really want Wall Street in the White House?"

She is so out of touch and just dialing in her campaign. Kind of sad if it weren’t so scary.

LOL! It's too bad Rove couldn't conspire to put the greatest female criminal in the history of the republic in prison. Karl, YOU'RE FIRED.

Hillary and Obama game plan is to point the finger and blame everyone else for any negative. They cannot accept responsibility for their own incompetence. There are programmed Democrats who believe what they say.

"People were interested in what I saw, what I thought," she said.

and if they are God fearing upright Americans then I would suggest that is their first mistake.

Same old Hillary. Pointing fingers and screeching about who is doing what instead of explaining what she's done.

Rove doesn’t do anything without LOTS of $$$
Hillary is just trying to avoid attacking The Communist.

I love the insanity of her excuse, its something like, ‘people wanted to know what I think’, so for the price of a first class private, five star Hotel accommodations, and $200,000, I’ll them them.

I notice Huma is not wearing a wedding ring in the photo you posted. Is Carlos Danger in the doghouse again? Still?

"Absolutely not," Clinton insisted, [deflecting, and arguing wayy off the point] that she took on Wall Street during her time as senator from New York.

Mrs. Clinton's innate deceit and congenital mendacity and total lack of that conscience thingy are known to all.

She is a high-stakes grifter who's past misdeeds appear to be catching up with her.
