Politico reports that Hillary has loaned her campaign $5 million dollars. More troubling is this part:

Hillary Clinton is drawing on one half of a pool of their joint personal wealth, as well as a reported payout to Bill Clinton of $20 million from the Los Angeles billionaire manager Ron Burkle.

This payout is nothing more than money laundering to get around campaign finance laws. Burkle gives $20 million to Bill (for what?), the Clinton’s get to count that as their personal money, which is exempt from campaign finance laws. It ends up being a $20 million campaign contribution from one individual when the law limits such donations to $2300.00

Why isn’t the press all over Mrs. Clinton about this money laundering?

That is a stretch to call it money laundering.

That would require the money being obtained illegally.

You are going to have a difficult time proving that.

Hey, what's a few million dollars between friends

Give me a break---Republicans don't care about how much someone gives to a presidential campaign. That's one of the reasons they hate McCain---

I think the media may pick up on this money laundering scheme. Obama should certainly bring it out in the open for discussion. If Obama does it will definitely gain some traction with the media at a time when Billary's supporters have pretty much maxed-out, by giving $2,300 each, and she had to loan her campaign $5 million.

You need to prove first how that $20 million was obtained illegally.

Never gonna happen.

Obama and/or the media just bringing up the topic is what counts - not actually proving whether the money was obtained from Burkle for the purpose of supporting Hillary.

I suggest a review of the January 31 New York Times story by Jo Becker and Don Van Natta Jr, concerning Billy Bob's dealings with Frank Giustra (a Canadian) in the buy-out of UrAsia by Uranium One. Billy Bob's help in that buy-out is getting the Billy Bob Clinton Foundation a pledge of $100 million by Mr. Giustra.

There are plenty of links giving this information.

Just Google: Bill Clinton $100 million received from Frank Giustra. You'll find plenty of information about it...

That is a low blow

You could have inserted Wino or Poochee and it would have been more tolerable.

Can't call me much worse.

I think a lot of the 5 million was a PR stunt . The Clintons may have more trouble raising money as easy as Obama but in the end they are going to be about even . The Clintons will have plenty of money in the election.

Maybe but they will have plenty and all these MSM that say OBAMA OBAMA are naive if they think they will not be about even in cash and that will not decide the outcome.
