[Weekly Standard] Bill Clinton has a secret "pass-through" company named WJC, LLC. WJC, of course, is the former president's initials, William Jefferson Clinton.
"The newly released financial files on Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton's growing fortune omit a company with no apparent employees or assets that the former president has legally used to provide consulting and other services, but which demonstrates the complexity of the family's finances," the Associated Press reports.
"Because the company, WJC, LLC, has no financial assets, Hillary Clinton's campaign was not obligated to report its existence in her recent financial disclosure report, officials with Bill Clinton's private office and the Clinton campaign said. They were responding to questions by The Associated Press, which reviewed corporate documents.
"The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to provide private details of the former president's finances on the record, said the entity was a 'pass-through' company designed to channel payments to the former president."
Indeed, as the report details, Clinton's work for the consulting company Teneo, formed by a former close aide to the ex-president, went through WJC, LLC.

And yet SSSHHHHH ... CCCCCCCC "Republican/
Conservative-esque" POTUS Bill is S-T-I-L-L being touted in the post-Cold War, post-9-11 21st Century by the US DemoLeft as their definitive answer or counter to Ronald Reagan + Bush 41, + PROOF OF LIBERALISM ANDOR MARXISM-SOCIALISM???
[The Right Scoop] The defenders of Hillary Clinton keep pointing to a lack of a "smoking gun" among the documents and information now being uncovered about her time at the State Department, but more and more the "coincidences" are becoming less believable. "Beware of the Military Industrial Complex."
~ Ike
Oh look here's a good example -- how Middle East and other countries got BILLIONS in military deals approved by Hillary's State Department after giving mere MILLIONS to the Clinton Foundation:
So in other words we're now acting like Europeans...
In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia contributed at least $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, the philanthropic enterprise she has overseen with her husband, former president Bill Clinton. Just two months before the deal was finalized, Boeing -- the defense contractor that manufactures one of the fighter jets the Saudis were especially keen to acquire, the F-15 -- contributed $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to a company press release.
The Saudi deal was one of dozens of arms sales approved by Hillary Clinton's State Department that placed weapons in the hands of governments that had also donated money to the Clinton family philanthropic empire, an International Business Times investigation has found.
Under Clinton's leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, according to an IBTimes analysis of State Department and foundation data. That figure -- derived from the three full fiscal years of Clinton's term as Secretary of State (from October 2010 to September 2012) -- represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush's second term.
The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation, resulting in a 143 percent increase in completed sales to those nations over the same time frame during the Bush administration. These extra sales were part of a broad increase in American military exports that accompanied Obama's arrival in the White House.
American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements. Such firms and their subsidiaries were listed as contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon-negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012. Boeing, LM, NG, General Dynamics, Booze Allen, SAIC..... too big to fail.
The list of countries is a who's who of civil rights abuses, including Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar.
Coincidence? Yeah right. Hillary very likely sold the State Department to the highest bidder, and might have even attacked Qaddafi in Libya because of donations from his enemies. Now the Democrats want to make her president? I wonder what and who she'll sell out then...

but more and more the “coincidences” are becoming less believable. Benghazi was about some guy making soft pron in his basement in the U.S. too. There are no coincidences. No wonder she was busily scrubbing her computer to get rid of the evidence. And people want this woman to be POTUS simply because she is a woman? They are morons. Nothing is plumb about the Clintons. They are so twisted, they've got to screw their socks/pantsuits on in the morning.

So in other words we're now acting like Europeans...
Just like that other European cancer, socialism. Which, btw, is the flavor of the month in her campaign.
*There is a reason our forefathers left or were thrown out of the place which we apparently have forgotten in our ruling class's Europhile fascinations.
[NEWSDAY] Martin O'Malley ...former Democratic governor of Maryland and aspiring presidential candidate, known locally as The One-Man Economic Wrecking Crew. O'Malley was elected to his second term driven by union support and near-Stalinesque vote margins in Baltimore city (82%) and Prince George's County (88%)... has good abs. And wasn't he was once mayor of Baltimore? Also governor of Maryland, the man who imposed the rain tax, whose hand-picked successor went under in the last election not so much to a Publican as to "anybody but O'Malley's hand-picked successor." That seems to be about the sum of what most Americans know about the former Maryland governor as he prepares to launch a presidential bid on May 30. He's hoping that's all they ever find out about him.
O'Malley polls somewhere between zero and 2 percent in early Democratic primary surveys, a dozen points behind Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who's not even running. As people learn more about him that should be where he stays.
But O'Malley is suddenly interesting, far more so than his anemic poll numbers would typically warrant. He matters because he's the sole candidate in the current Democratic field who could legitimately step in as the party's standard-bearer should Hillary Clinton's candidacy collapse. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (12 percent in the latest Economist survey) is an avowed socialist, which, thankfully, still makes him a non-starter in American politics. Vice President Joe Biden (11 percent), who is reportedly hanging around in the wings in case Clinton tanks, remains America's favorite crazy uncle. He's a hoot at Thanksgiving, but you don't want to see him behind the wheel. O'Malley's the epitome if the Feelings™-talkin' Taxocrat. No matter how tired you become, do not let him hold your wallet.
O'Malley comes out of central casting. He's counting on that. Being a pretty boy gets him the same bloc that went for John Edwards.
He's handsome, articulate and passionate about his beliefs. How can he be "articulate" when he's burying his recent past? Though I guess it does take something like articulateness to evade so many crucial questions.
He stands decidedly to Clinton's political left, Somewhere between Kamenev and Zinov'ev...
but he has the clean-cut looks of someone who wouldn't spook the American public in a general election. A Prell user, if I'm to judge...
Not many of those nowadays.
Indeed, when he's not posing shirtless for cameras in beach photo-ops, he looks like the Brooks Brothers conservative Aaron Sorkin might conjure for a new HBO series. And at 52, O'Malley is vibrant. He appears to be reaching his prime, whereas Clinton, rightly or wrongly, seems to have exceeded hers. She has "Sell by November, 2008" tattooed on her left thigh...
It's not so much that her past is wearing on her, it's that it's catching up with her. Whereas O'Malley thinks he can outrun his...
It's a marvel to watch Clinton at present. It's as if she's suspended in air. She's the prohibitive favorite to be the Democratic nominee while carrying at least 1,000 pounds of baggage, with more seemingly being added by the day. The big question is whether she can continue to defy gravity. It's possible she can. But it's probable that she eventually falls to earth. Crash. Burn. No survivors. No insurance.

Why would she crumble? We have a national press that's even more willing and able to cover for her than was Tass, Pravda and Isvetya for General Secretary Chernenko in the Soviet Union.
(For those of you unaware of history, Chernenko was basically a walking corpse when he took over for Andropov: COPD, CHF, kidney failure, and possibly end stage chronic liver disease. Yet the Soviet press never let on, until he "died suddently" barely a year after taking office).

With Lizzie Bordon, I mean Warren out and Bernie "How can you have 23 different types of deodorant when children are starving" Sanders the only other candidate it seems the Demo just might be doomed. I can hope, can't i?

Don't count your chickens before they hatch Deacon - we could be getting setup for a Democratic 'Savior' to come riding over the hill to save us from the EVVVVil Republicans. That may be Fauxcahontas, Creepy Uncle Biden, or O'Malley, or even the Whookie-with-bare-shoulders (for 8 more years of The LightBringer!).

Is Warren out or is she just waiting. If they dump Hillary and Warren isn't ready all that DEM spending on the war on women propoganda goes to waste.
And really, O'Malley? Baltimore isn't really a place to brag about and I've read things that indciate a lot of the problem stem from policying policies that began under his administration. How well is that gonna play with Joe Six-Pack?
About as well as Obama's paling around with a pair of Domestic Terrorists and his Marxist roots and upbringings and his sealed records, and his many failures.
The media will simply ignore it. And anyone who even mentions it will be tarred as a racist / sexist / or some other 'birther' type label.

Hillary was never going to be the nominee. This is all side show. It delays our scrutinizing the 'fresh face' who will be nominated. We get to waste all our attention and oppo research on a red herring.

I think the Democrat doners wants Hillary because (a) they don't care about scandals or believe that its all right-wing made up stuff (b) they remember the great economy under Clinton and think that somehow she'll recreate that (c) they know she can be bought.
The run-of-the-mill Democrats are wary of rocking the boat because they hope to get some of that doner money and voters if she backs out.
The media simply reflexively defends her because she's a Democrat and lying to the people to cover for the Democrats is in media DNA.

I am on the fund raising only as presidential candidate..but:
How much will her vice-president nomination go for?
She already has a bit of dementia; the presser the other day she looked loaded on something like add eral. Another night of hitting the Jack and falling down would make VP lucrative.
We are going through an administration which seems to work as little as possible except on fundraising and social issues, two things The Clinton Machine also does. With minimum effort and average propaganda she could look like a real workhorse in comparison. Get her legacy, retire after a couple years, and VP winning future elections could get 10 years in office.
