Hillary News Roundup
Hillary told CNN she’s not running for president of the press. She’s running for president of the American People. Hopefully that means she won’t roundup the rest of us with ropes when she speaks.
She says people should and do trust me despite a June 2 CNN poll in which 57% said Hillary is not “honest and trustworthy”.
Clinton Talk not Cheap
Actually, for Hillary Clinton talk is cheap compared to Bill. The Washington Post found he earned over $100 million in speaking fees between 2001 and 2013. $26 million of that came from companies that contribute to the Clinton Foundation.
Could Bill really be vice president? Fact Check calls it a “constitutional conundrum”.
Marco and Hillary’s Big Adventure
Marco Rubio showed his latin cred by talking about his Cuban refugee parents. He also scored points for upward mobility by mentioning that his father was a bartender – if you consider running for president to be upwardly mobile.
Hillary and Huma headed for the border – of Iowa. They stopped their Scoobie Doo van in Maumee, Ohio and made sort of a secreted sortie to Chipotle. They showed up wearing sunglasses and went unrecognized.
sort of a secret camp
Hillary’s Secret Server
Hillary surfaced yesterday with a press conference to explain her super secret email server. She said she has it for the convenience of not having to lug around multiple devices for personal and government email. Suspicious minds like Jonathan Karl might also think it’s for the convenience of not having her emails subpoenaed from the State Department server.
Jeb and Hillary Soaking up Cash
Jeb and Hillary, the consultant class favorites for 2016, are soaking up the cash. The idea being to bleed dry any upstarts like Scott Walker.
David Brock, the gun toting left wing political hit man who runs Media Matters, resigned in a huff from the board of the PAC, Priorities USA Action. Brock claims his enemies leaked this story to the New York Times revealing that he paid a 12.5% commission to Mary Pat Bonner to raise funds for Hillary. So far Bonner has taken a $6 million cut of Hillary’s action.
Apparently commissions are frowned upon in political knife fights.
Update: The Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Foundation now welcomes foreign contributions.
