History, but VDH writes it so well!

[Jane Long]

VDH, spot on and excellent...as usual.

[Busko]

Good article! Now let us see what the RINOs will do. Ha, Ha!!!

[Old Retired Army Guy]

We have seen this movie before. I feel like it’s “Groundhog Day” all over again. Back in the 90’s we saw Begala, Carville and Davis like Jack in the boxes jumping on TV to defend the Clintons. Here it is 2015 and they are back, albeit a little balder and a little grayer, doing it all over again.

[Poison Pill]

Hillary Clinton will be nominated by the Democrats and has at least a 50/50 chance of being elected president.

HRC will never be elected president. Ever. Her chances of getting the nomination; less than 25% IMO.

[RitaOK]

It’s a certainty the Left will excuse and defend Hillary, but they will not elect her. The Independents will be the deciders. A few states, maybe four, will be the deciders if all else breaks the same as usual.

There are more Independents now than ever (mostly because Republicans are quite repulsed by the R Party) and having an increasing number of Independents does not bode well for Clinton, imho.

[afraidfortherepublic]

From your pen to God’s ears.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

I usually can refrain from doing so, but I couldn’t resist needling a lib acquaintance about Hillary’s scandals. He replied with, “I don’t know much about it” (willful ignorance,) “They all do it” (false equivalence,) and, finally, “What’s my choice—to vote for a REPUBLICAN?” with REPUBLICAN spit out as an Aushwitz survivor might pronounce “Nazi.”

[GOPJ]

1.That the accusations are “old news.”

2.That the accusers are funded by right-wing conspiracists.

3.That everyone does what the Clintons did.

4.That the media pick on the Clintons.

5.That there is no hard evidence (because they have destroyed documents) that would ever lead to a criminal case. And:

6.That they are moving on, to work on behalf of the folks.

Hanson gets it - explains Clinton Sociopath 101 Logic...

[Poison Pill]

If Mondale had campaigned in the nude, he would have been more electable.

[The Great RJ]

The Clinton’s with the help of Obama and the corrupt DOJ will avoid prosecution. However, I doubt they can avoid the IRS and will be paying back a lot of money to donors and that probably will all but end the phony Clinton Foundation. I can see Bill giving one of his aw shucks speeches blaming bad accounting for the fraudulent payments and tearfully telling about all the poor folks his foundation “helped” The bottom line is Hillary will withdraw from the presidential race citing something like her health as the reason. I think the Clinton’s greed will finally be their undoing.

[blueunicorn6]

You know how you can tell when a Clinton is lying?

James Carville’s lips are moving really fast.

[Jim Noble]

“Hillary Clinton will be nominated by the Democrats and has at least a 50/50 chance of being elected president”

Nope.

She’ll be out of the race in 3 months.

[Jim Noble]

“The Clinton’s with the help of Obama and the corrupt DOJ will avoid prosecution”

Nope.

Obama is doing this to them.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Will the Republicans be so invested in combating her by then that they will be unable to shift their guns towards her successor? And will her successor garner a huge sympathy vote?

[Jim Noble]

“Will the Republicans be so invested in combating her by then that they will be unable to shift their guns towards her successor? “

They’re not called the stupid party for nothing.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Perhaps I should change my screen name to afraidfortherepublicans!

Candidate Hillary was on the stump posing as the "champion of the underclass"----
she wholeheartedly blasted high-paid CEOs, and billion dollar hedge funds----

So into herself she cannot recognize her own self-serving hypocrisy. Her own daughter has no job--so how do Chelsea and hunbby afford a $10 million condo--the costly furnishings and upkeep? And expenses for high-end living?

==========================================================

Chelsea and hubby Marc Mezvinsky's $10 million condo.

============================================

Chelsea's husband runs a hedge fund that gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons---even as reports surfaced that Mezvinsky's hedge fund had "underwhelming" returns.

The WSJ reports extensively on the fund's underperformance since its inception. Also reported was Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs colleagues — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund. Some of Eaglevale's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton."

==============================================

The Clinton/Goldman Sachs connection sounds awfully familiar. Then-Pres Clinton's WH
aide Rahm Emanuel also worked as a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.....both at the same time.

Not to forget this....

Then-US Sen Clinton and US Sen Jon Corzine. Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs
executive suite. Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a
Weight Watchers weigh-in.

[Liz]

Some have observed elsewhere...that it’s extremely difficult to identify a direct quid pro quo....while Hillary was Secy of State, foreign funny money was moving around from hand to hand with big money deals approved which she could say were going to be approved anyway......at the same time, foreign money was flowing into the charitable Clinton Foundation, not Hillary’s bank account.....

The Buckraking Clinton Foundation sucking up foreign donations is morally reprehensible----but the real crimes are what exactly they are doing with the corporate/foreign monies once its in their Foundation's tax-exempt coffers.

So how'd they do that? Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watchers weigh-in.

EXHIBIT ONE--- Dec 05, 2011---Fox News Report: Bill Clinton Reaped Big Bucks from Corzine Firm Before Collapse--- MF Global Employee Links Clinton to the Bankrupt Firm

A former MF Global employee accused former president Bill Clinton of collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before the brokerage careened towards its Halloween filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reports Human Events.

Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution, according to Hum/Events.

The Teneo contract with MF Global lasted at least five months, the souce said. “The board cancelled it after Corzine resigned.” The source, who is no longer associated with MF Global, said Teneo is a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services.

Clinton is the chairman of the company’s advisory board, reports Hum/Events.

===============================================

EXHIBIT TWO--Then-Secy of State Hillary gave her close aide, Huma Abedin, “State Dept special status".....Abedin was working for Hillary at State....... AND simultaneously working for Bill Clinton, as a private contractor for his company, Teneo Holdings.

Abedin, reportedly had private email addresses on the Clinton email server system (underlining Democrats' greatest fear: the intersection of undisclosed foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s secret email address. Huma Abedin's sweetheart deal: (1) an outside private six-figure consultant at the State Department, and, (2) “special government employee” status, and worked a sideline---as a private contractor.

One of Huma's clients was Bill Clinton's Company----Teneo Holdings----self-described as a dual-track political/banking consulting firm that calls itself the “next chapter in strategic advisory.”

======================================================

EXHIBIT THREE---An earlier NYT's expose tarred Bill Clinton w/ Teneo's sub rosa dealings. Teneo is run by Clinton aide---Doug Band. Prosecutors found Band and Clinton listed in pedophile's Jeffry Epsteiin's records as having a shocking 21 email addresses and tele nos. Can you say money laundering? L/E recognizes multiple phone nos and email as the classic MO for money- laundering and tax evasion.

=====================================================

Not to forget Hillary cozying up to Wall Street.

Then-US Sens Clinton and Corzine. Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs
executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying
the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing.
