Kind of like how LBJ went to Congress penniless and wound up a multi-millionaire senator - and all on his gubmint pay.

I was under the impression that LBJ's money was his wife's who owned broadcast stations.

Didn’t MR. Hillary just get $20 mill from some guy for his hook-up in Dubai?

The most dangerous part of this is that the family wealth has come mostly from Bill Clinton’s foreign speaking engagements in places like Red China and Dubai. The money goes into his pocket from foreign interestshe puts it into a joint account, it turns into Hillary money, and she gives it to her campaign. There is an unlimited supply to this; as other Freepers have point out, there may not be any restriction of a foreign interest giving money to a spouse. I am also quite confident that Cinton, Inc. made hte money untraceable.

The worst part of this is that it may not be illegal if it is washed through a joint account first. Thank you, McCain-Feingold.

Re: ...Senator Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million...

Hell, Her Ankleship... never earned that money anyway and she and Bill will "not earn" zillions more before they turns their toes up, so what is the big deal? She and Bill have shown over and over again that they are above the law we common folks have to obey.

The best thing McCain could do is to bankrupt Hillie and Willie. I would consider that an acceptable outcome.

This is laying the ground work for when she drops out and converts her war chest to her personal account.

They’ve come a long way from sending Algore to the Buddhist Temple in Rowland Heights, CA to pick up a bunch of envelopes with $5,000 each from monks and coffee clatches with Chinese military reps in the WH. They’re truly a world wide bribery cartel now.
