Today, Josh Marshal has a header called "Top News" on his website, TPM. Instead of two seperate headers, Bob Ney Due to Be Released in August and another story Corrupt NY Lawyer Bill Lerach Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison, ...the Headline might as easily been combined:
Bush / GOP Crook Out, Clinton Crook IN
Lerach is yet another of the Clinton influence peddling pals to be busted SINCE the Clintons LEFT the White House in 2001. Oh I know, I know,
More on How Texas comes into Play below....
Yeh yeh - I get it, the Clintons hardly know 'em, and ANYBODY can just stroll into the Clinton White House where Bill and Hillary are likely to whip up some pancakes and sausage for breakfast for you, the wife, and kids while someone's Uncle Fred snaps a little memento of the moment on a 4 dollar disposable camera made in China. Sure sure, it happens all the time. LOL. THAT should satisfy the country and the GOP this Fall...
I mean Holy Moley, Major-Donor-on-a-Stick,....
the Times story on the shameful crook featuring a picture of the guy at a shredder of all things. NOT good.
Am I knocking the Clintons??
You're @#%% -*@#$ right.
As they should be.
This story has implications for the Texas Primary. Remember Enron??? And all those average Texans screwed out of their pension money??? As reported in the New York Times, hardly a Hillary bashing paper as they endorsed their homestate Senator Clinton over Obama in the New York Primary,...The Times reported that
The firms associated with Mr. Lerach have made a very good living from the fees they reaped in their shareholder lawsuits. (As of last fall, for example, Mr. Lerach's firm had earned more than $680 million from the Enron case alone according to a new book, "The Money Lawyers.") -NYT
What did the Enron Victims get out of it?? SQUAT.
Frankly, the storyline that the Clintons are broke is complete and utter bullshit. Only the matter of who, where, and how much money is flowing through Clinton surrogates are the questions to be answered.
Hillary has not released her tax returns , which is UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR.
As reported in the Washington Post a few days ago,
The Clinton's Charity is not listed on her Senate Disclosure Form, despite that "
The Ethics in Government Act requires members of Congress to disclose positions they hold with any outside entity, including nonprofit foundations
What a Co-Inc-i-Dink. Notice the Five Million Bucks shaved off the Clinton taxes. And where did THAT go??
It is UNACCEPTABLE that Bill Clinton uses his Foundation and "Charity" work as cover to rig business deals as also reported in the New York Times. I'm TIRED of this crap, and DISGUSTED it's been tolerated in the Democratic Party. Democratic Voters, Party Elders, SOMEBODY put a fork in these people, already!!
Unlike more established competitors, Mr. Giustra was a newcomer to uranium mining in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic. But what his fledgling company lacked in experience, it made up for in connections. Accompanying Mr. Giustra on his luxuriously appointed MD-87 jet that day was a former president of the United States, Bill Clinton.-NYT
The Times went on to describe a hastily arranged meeting by Clinton to clear a last minute trip through the State Department and Secret Service to go to Kazakhstan under the auspices of his Foundation and doing AIDS work..It has been covered and discussed well here enough on 'kos.
The monster deal stunned the mining industry, turning an unknown shell company into one of the world’s largest uranium producers in a transaction ultimately worth tens of millions of dollars to Mr. Giustra, analysts said.
Just months after the Kazakh pact was finalized, Mr. Clinton’s charitable foundation received its own windfall: a $31.3 million donation from Mr. Giustra that had remained a secret until he acknowledged it last month. The gift, combined with Mr. Giustra’s more recent and public pledge to give the William J. Clinton Foundation an additional $100 million, secured Mr. Giustra a place in Mr. Clinton’s inner circle, an exclusive club of wealthy entrepreneurs in which friendship with the former president has its privileges.-NYT
Yeh, this should all go over well in the Texas Primary, in Rustbelt Ohio and in Pennsylvania where Rendell is trying to slot machine an Elder Populated State out of bust while asking state retirees to now pay additional fees on their healthcare...We are headed for Electoral Disaster with Hillary and Bill Clinton and DNC toadyism... Cynical? Remember When John Kerry was a no lose Proposition?
It's Time to show the Clinton's to the Door...
I almost wonder if Hillary is running for President just to get a hold of the PARDON POWER ALONE.
