President Trump isn’t the only one still talking about the remarkable 2016 election. So is Hillary Rodham Clinton, defeated by Trump despite winning the popular vote. In a new email promoting her group, Onward Together, Clinton refers to her 66 million votes — some 4 million more than Trump. And she notes that while she was knocked down, she wasn’t knocked out. The organization, which features Clinton’s mantra “resist, insist, persist, enlist,” is urging supporters to continue making donations. Onward Together sponsors groups and candidates that challenge Trump.(snip) Clinton added: Last year, in the midst of our disappointment and concern...

How long does it take to prep and fly a large plane? It is not trivial. What are the odds they would do all that for a 20 MILE flight. It would cost a fortune too. So. what seems more likely? Instead of just driving there they would prepare a flight plan for a 20 mile flight, drive to the airport, load onto the plane, taxi, fly, and land about 3 minutes later... OR Her rumored medical condition flared up during flight so they immediately landed? The condition she is rumored to have is one that is supposed to prohibit...

Thirty people contributed $50,000 apiece to attend the Saturday night function at the home of Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a wealthy investment manager so committed to Clinton that she couldn’t bring herself to vote for then-Sen.

I researched the citizenship of Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss and although he lives in Wyoming, he apparently is NOT an American citizen. My question to my fellow FReepers is this, ISN'T IT A FEDERAL CRIME FOR A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO RECEIVE NOT ONLY DONATIONS FROM FOREIGN CITIZENS, BUT TO ENGAGE IN ORGANIZING VOTER DRIVES ON THEIR BEHALF USING THEIR DONATIONS? I read this article: Memo Reveals Clinton Foundation Donor’s $100 Million Registration, Turnout Push How is Hillary getting away with this?

BURLINGTON, Vt. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, on Monday criticized a Hillary Clinton campaign fundraising scheme that state party leaders told Politico has been used as a self-serving “money-laundering” conduit. Despite Clinton’s pledges to rebuild state parties, Politico found that less than 1 percent of the $61 million raised by the Victory Fund has stayed in the state parties’ coffers. “Secretary Clinton is looting funds meant for the state parties to skirt fundraising limits on her presidential campaign,” Weaver said. “We think the Clinton campaign should let the state parties keep their fair share of the...

Democrats aren't laughing about Donald Trump anymore. He has them all but admitting defeat. In a stunning admission, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager predicts in an email that Donald Trump will become president if he wins the Republican nomination. "If Donald Trump takes the Republican nomination, our party will lose more than the presidency," Robby Mook writes to supporters. "Years of progress will be ripped away. Obamacare will be repealed. Marriage equality will be rolled back. Get excited to visit the wall on the Mexico border -- and get ready to pay for it if President Trump can't magically get Mexico...

The steps Mrs. Clinton has taken to raise the profile of Ms. Abedin in the campaign include using her prominently in a fundraising email and deploying her to Twitter for the first time. The email featuring Ms. Abedin was released with the subject line, “I believe in Hillary — do you? It was the first time that Ms. Abedin, who serves as vice chairwoman of Hillary for America but remains mostly behind the scenes, stepped out to...

President Obama raised $1.072 billion for his 2012 successful presidential campaign. This is after he raised $750 million for his 2008 campaign.

Major donors are ready to announce huge financial commitments to Hillary Clinton as soon as she announces a second run for the White House, according to Clinton allies and Democratic fundraisers.
