Last year, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton took the unusual step of renting out some of her lists. The transaction once again highlights the Clintons' connections to a businessman who now faces questions from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Didn’t a freeper break this story like 3 weeks ago based on his own research?

[Ann Archy]

Don’t remember that, but I recall the computer database that the Clintons put in place while they were in the White House to keep track of all their donors...or so they said that’s what it was for. Turns out it was much more than that. If you Google WHODB and “Big Brother,” or simply “Clinton’s White House donor database,” you’ll find a lot of links on the subject.

OMG!! Great Memory also!!

LOL! I’m lucky I can remember what I had for lunch, but for some reason, the evils of the Clintons remain seared in my brain.

On another note, there’s been a lot of double-posts tonight. I think there’s a glitch in FR’s system. It’s been slow loading for about the past 4-5 hours, plus I’ve gotten a Proxy error when trying to post, but when I check, my reply was actually posted.

Not sure.

If Hillary only get $8K for renting out her lists, she is getting absolutely totally screwed!!! That is out of line for this kind of list by a few zeros.

Here it is-credit to Hal who found this on flip.

“It’s been slow loading for about the past 4-5 hours, plus I’ve gotten a Proxy error when trying to post, but when I check, my reply was actually posted.”

Same here.

If you think that is weird, try going to YOUTUBE.

The question is not how much was paid, but WHO paid for the lists.

This would explain why this ‘unusual’ transaction occurred.

What are Hillary and Vinod up to?

[Ann Archy]

Me TOO!!!

[rdl6989]

Maybe that’s where the $5 million came from.

You beat me to it.

I guess Katie whetted her appetite?

Who would want to buy a list of peniless, chinese, dish washers from Brooklyn?
