It is the sunshine law thing again. And only 1 year i9s better than none.
Anyways, the main point is to determine how much domestic and foreign income the clinton’s rec’d.
Based on this info, does the “loan” fit within the reported income figures of what she earned in the US (she claims its her $) or does it require the “loaning from Bill” of additional funds?
If it requires funds from Bill, then she has lied, and obviously Bill’s income must then be scrutinized further. Since she is a public servant, the term’s of any loans should be public and clearly stated.
I think the answer is clear as to what we think the “truth” is here. I wish I knew where the loan was recorderd.
She’s counting on the assumption that you can’t figure out whether it’s Bill’s money or hers, or where the two of them got it. I would be shocked if the money were traceable to any particular source. Money is fungible. A dollar that’s in your bank account could have been from any one of a hundred sources that you made deposits into the account from. They would be fools to use money that is easily traced to Bill’s Dubai employer.
About the best you can do, I suspect, is trace it to Bill, but even that would probably be difficult. If you could do it, though, I suspect that you could make an argument that this is a violation of the campaign finance laws. Bill can’t give her campaign $5 million. The Supreme Court has ruled that a candidate has the right to make unlimited contributions to his own campaign, but I don’t think the Court said that your spouse could do so as well. That’s why she covered her butt and called it a “loan.” Anyone can “loan” money to her campaign, in any amount. They just can’t give it to her campaign.
Of course, even a loan might be problematic, if it’s really a contribution disguised as a loan, and I think there are ways you could make that argument. Are there loan documents? Security? Are they charging interest? What if she doesn’t repay it?
