For the Hildebeest, Scandals Have Achieved Critical Mass
[Investors.com] With each day, new revelations call into question Hillary Clinton's behavior during her tenure as secretary of state and after. It's time for her to suspend her campaign and start answering questions.

When even the left-wing media notice a leading Democrat's apparent ethical lapses, she has a real problem. And so does the Democratic Party, which as of now has all its bets for 2016 placed on Hillary Clinton, who, Peter Schweizer's upcoming book "Clinton Cash" suggests, may have engaged in corrupt behavior in office.

The latest revelation is a potential bombshell: That while Clinton was secretary of state, a federal committee approved the $610 million sale of Wyoming-based uranium mines to Russia's state atomic energy agency, Rosatom, as it tried to corner the market for the radioactive mineral.
The timid candidate roll-out could have been a foretelling. Will we soon have new medical revelations and a stand-down ?

#1  I doubt, her core constituency is adversely affected---if anything, they probably admire her enterprise.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 04/24/2015 4:13 Comments || Top||

#2  Based on the principle of "this is what we're letting you know, so we don't have to discuss the part that's even worse", I'm beginning to be impressed at what a world class screw up this malign witch is.

#3  It's interesting that Billy Jeff is keeping his yap shut. Not motivated to be more helpful, or could only make a bad situation worse?

#4  #1 I doubt, her core constituency is adversely affected---if anything, they probably admire her enterprise.


Except that most of her core constituency doesn't like capitalism. They probably support her for the same reason they supported Obama--being progressives, they like "firsts." They don't like to stay within the lines and they like to run with scissors.

#5  re: #4 & #1

Her core constituency is the same one that prefers Russia to the US, Marxism/fascism to capitalism so the selling of uranium mines to Russia is just icing on the Hillary cake, more reason to like her.

#6  Ah, AC, Russia hasn't been communist for 20 year, USA on the other hand...
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 04/24/2015 13:05 Comments || Top||

#7  If her core constituency is who you think they'll jump ship in a second once Elizabeth Warren throws her hat in.

We haven't really touched the Bill Clinton underage scandal. I'm sure someone has let them know that will be front page news if they don't drop out of the race by such and such deadline.

#8  If her core constituency is who you think

IMO, it's (almost) everyone who receives public funds: either as salary or welfare or contractor.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 04/24/2015 14:44 Comments || Top||

#9  Yup. Similar to Obama's.
Posted by: JohnQC || 04/24/2015 15:04 Comments || Top||

#10  We haven't really touched the Bill Clinton underage scandal.

Or Benghazi. Or Huma. Ordinarily, in reasonable times, any of these things would have scuttled the inevitable candidate and future president. Now, were it a conservative, they would have been gone long ago.

#11  When even the left-wing media notice a leading Democrat's apparent ethical lapses

Not if they're rooting for a more-left-wing candidate.

Boehner unhinged: 'The Clintons are good people.'
'Good people' don't generally possess a lifelong record of ignoring the law.

#1  Doesn't "Good People" usually means "One of Us"?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 04/24/2015 4:06 Comments || Top||

#2  Yes, one of them.
Posted by: Besoeker || 04/24/2015 4:08 Comments || Top||

#3  There's dirt on Boehner too, his $80K gate fee for starters.
Posted by: jvalentour || 04/24/2015 6:41 Comments || Top||

#4  "good people, better pond scum"
Posted by: Frank G || 04/24/2015 7:52 Comments || Top||

#5  If you threw all the scumbag politicians in the ocean you would be scraping scum off for decades.

#6  Once, I asked a police officer friend about someone whom he worked with in his department. His response was "Oh, he's a fine fellow." He did not mean that literally. It was a bit of sarcasm. Maybe that's what Boner was going for but somehow I doubt it.

#7  They are just as good as you are at getting on your knees to blow Obama, Boehner.

#8  They're all members of the same party, the DC beltway party is the one to which they all owe allegiance.
Posted by: AlanC || 04/24/2015 13:00 Comments || Top||

#9  kind of like the old hominem: "Bless his Heart."

#10  Clarifies in one quote why Conservaties don't like the man. He's got crap judgement.
Posted by: rjschwarz || 04/24/2015 14:38 Comments || Top||

#11  Jeebus, is Boehner on the same planet as the rest of us?
Posted by: JohnQC || 04/24/2015 15:05 Comments || Top||

#12  He may have to work with her in a few years.

Judicial Watch: State Department Documents Reveal Concern about Bill Clinton's Activities with 'Saudi Entities'
Interesting cherry picked paragraph follows:
[Judicial Watch] Dozens of State Department attorneys' emails containing legal opinions and urgent warnings are heavily redacted and neglect to include the records Judicial Watch specifically sought in its FOIA request, such as Mrs. Clinton "SF 50s," the standard form the government uses any time an employee changes jobs, or has an increase in step, grade or pay. Judicial Watch also sought all "SF 85s," "85Ps," or "SF-86s,"which would pertain to Hillary's clearance for various types of information. Also noticeably scarce are the requested ethics waivers issued to Mrs. Clinton, and the communications relating to Mr. Clinton's speech schedule dates, Foundation events, people he met with, that sort of thing......and his personal or charitable financial relationships with foreign leaders and governments.
SF-86.... which requires applicant signature and contains warnings/penalties relative to the entry of false information.

#1  (i) Russians, Iranians, Saudis: money don't smell to Clintons.
(ii) Surely, at some point, you've made enough money?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 04/24/2015 14:51 Comments || Top||

#2  Everyone knows the Clintons are as bent as a sickle. Regular ole' business pays people good money to know things just like this, especially within the trade.

Then while in office, there is his activities with sex slaves the same age as his daughter. Not just sick, its weird.
