The Clintons and their cash

Michael Ramirez Cartoon


 The Clintons versus the Hobbs Act  ..."AT was right on top of the Clinton money scandal, explaining recently that author Peter Schweizer is properly citing the Gov. McDonnell precedent for gift-taking criminality even where no actual quid pro quo is proven.  Not that anyone in the current administration is looking very hard.
"If anything, the McDonnell case is far less egregious than what the Clintons have been doing.  A closer look at the laws reveal why.
. . . 
 "Of course, I am sure the Obama Justice Department has a full schedule of race-baiting taking up all its time the next year and a half, so nothing official will happen to the Clintons for now.  But if we do get a Republican president, the statute of limitations is five years, which should suffice to allow a prosecution."
"Bill Clinton is blaming the Clinton Foundation's accountants for not disclosing the acceptance of foreign donations on tax documents filed with the I.R.S. The former president made the comments in an interview with NBC:" . . .

Team Hillary prepares 'Clinton Cash' response "Hillary Clinton's (D) presidential campaign is launching a website to counter the release of Clinton Cash, new book that raises questions about donations to the family’s foundation while she was secretary of State.
"Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta announced the effort — dubbed "The Briefing" — in a post to the publishing platform Medium.
"Podesta linked the site to the release of "Clinton Cash," a book that raises questions about the Clinton family's finances but that critics say is a partisan strike against Clinton's campaign." . . .
