ary Clinton backer paid $500G to fund women accusing Trump of sexual misconduct
Fox News ^ | December 31, 2017 | Robert Gearty

ne of Hillary Clinton’s wealthy pals paid $500,000 in an unsuccessful effort to fund women willing to accuse President Trump of sexual misconduct before the 2016 election, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Susie Tompkins Buell, the founder of Esprit Clothing and a major Clinton campaign donor for many years, gave the money to celebrity lawyer Lisa Bloom who was working with a number of Trump accusers at the time, according to the paper’s bombshell report.

Bloom solicited donors by saying she was working with women who might “find the courage to speak out” against Trump if the donors would provide funds for security, relocation and possibly a “safe house,” the paper reported.

Former Clinton nemesis turned Clinton operative David Brock also donated $200,000 to the effort through a nonprofit group he founded, the paper reported in an article entitled, “Partisans, Wielding Money, Begin Seeking to Exploit Harassment Claims.”

Bloom told the Times that the effort was unproductive. One woman requested $2 million then decided not to come forward. Nor did any other women.

Bloom said she refunded most of the cash, keeping only some funds for out-of-pocket expenses accrued while working to vet and prepare cases.

The lawyer told the paper she did not communicate with Clinton or her campaign “on any of this.”

850K isn’t much of a settlement... all you can really do with that is open a pizza place or something.

But NOTHING will happen to ANY of these criminals because Jeff Sessions is a WUSS!

Sessions is worse than a wuss, in my opinion. I see him as an active member in good standing of the Swamp, and believe he's working from the inside to thwart President Trump in every way possible.

No not surprising, but what is surprising, is that Hitllary is NOT in an orange jumpsuit sitting in a common prison cell somewhere......

Of course, CNN will have this story at the top of the hour all day long. Right?

The bigger question is; How much did Mitch McConnell pay to Lisa’s mother Gloria for the hit job on Judge Moore?

The second bigger question is; What will Jeff Sessions do about all of this?

Handling all of this cash and so, so many entities....

Just wow!     Surely, a taxable event has occurred somewhere, or an event warranting a long, miserable audit.

Inquiring minds hope the IRS, the FEC, and sleepy Jeff are following this trail of intentional acts.

Gee....did they use a Nellie O. signal and just broadcast the coded message to the entire world?

Only the insiders would know when and where to listen for the message.

Afraid you're right. The deep state is like the mafia and threatens the lives of those with political clout - thus the recipe ends up in the deep state. I only wish those who threaten would be caught and spill the beans on the blackmailers. An awesome wish for 2018.
