Clinton Family Loan Mystery

Yes, Hillary and Bill's loans to their family members are none of our business. However, the 10% to "charity" was entirely given to the Clintons' foundation. Not their church, not the United Way; to their eponymous foundation. They still have control over how that money is spent, quite a different thing than when I give money to charity.

That is, given that the money is spent. Which half of it hasn't been, it's just been written off on their taxes and is now sitting in a "charitable" slush-fund bank account.

Not to mention that they filed a six-month extension to avoid exposing their most recent tax filings.

Look folks, these are politicians we're talking about. They should ALL, Obama included, be *presumed* crooked. It's just that the Clintons aren't even pretending they aren't. They are totally and transparently power-mad; anyone who thinks otherwise is being willfully delusional.

Hill the Bosnian General specializin in Snipers' Brigade made it again: Penn fired by Colombian government, 10 million charity to the Clinton Fundation and many more millions for family members, 5 million self borrowing to stillbirt campaign, etc.,etc, God bless America and God bless Obama.OBAMA08.

Everyone attacking Obama has very little to attack him for. Gee, generalizing about caucuses in Western states, when in fact Montana is a primary state. Wow, that's such a big issue!

How about Clinton lying about dodging sniper fire? Lying about being against NAFTA? Lying about bringing peace to the Middle East?

Attack, attack, attack. That's all Clintonites for Hillary know to do.

She should make her tax records for 2007 available. Did Rezko give her some money too? Why the delay? What is she hiding? I guess this pathological lier is up to no good. If she makes her records available later and something bad is found, what next?

I don't care for the Clintons, but I don't think family loans are our business. It might be of interest if they were paying the questionable sibs to disappear.

A lot in the comments about presidential pardons. In Lincoln's hands, they were used in the causes of justice and mercy after the war. The question in the Clinton's case is were they sold either for cash or for donations of large amounts to their library? Apparently Mrs. Clinton's brothers were caught taking money to get pardons by Bill. That isn't about justice gone wrong or mercy to a woman who lost all her other sons in a war. Selling pardons to truly bad people is evil. If that happened, we need to know about it.

I agree - it's none of anyone's business.

The bigger point--missed here--is that they gave around 10% to charity. In fact they should also be commended for sharing their good fortune with not only their family members but others in need of help. But, of course, writing a story about the Clinton's generosity with their family and others wouldn't fit into a Clinton bashing narrative.

@ Vena

Hillary is broke?

MARCH was her second best fund raising month!

Poor "Politico" crying that her campaign was broke and she should drop out...they helped her campaign raise even more money.

and lies? pleeeease Obama is as big a liar as Hillary!

Obama is a genius.....

he[senator obama] seemed to mistakenly categorize Montana as a caucus state, when it is in fact holding a primary.

"Some people have been saying these caucus states out west out don't count that much," he said. "I don't know about you, but I think they're pretty important. .. I'm tired of people saying that some states don't count. I think every state counts."

-Washington Post

Hillary has more experience and more years at washington. However, all we see is an inefficient candidate who is constantly broke, has not even paid her bills to small busines owners who helped her in Ohio. Clintons are rich, they have lots of money. Yt they squeez out the poor Americans. SHAME ON YOU HILLARY, YOU TELL NEW LIES EVERYDAY. No one trusts you or your husband Bill when it comes to telling the truth!!!! CHEATERS!

Ken, the one that is an Obama supporter, you will lose your mind when Obama loses to Mccain. You are totally kidding yourself if you think the Rev. Wright matter is dead, it is simmering and will come to a boil just before the Nov. election. The MSM is in the bag for Obama but when and if he gets the nomination it's 527 time.

ken: yeah, and Hillary supporters will have the last laugh because of "polls", like the New Hampshire primary "polls" ! ha ha ha ha ha

ken: I'll bet you people are sending millionaire obama or millionaire McCain money contributions all the time !

"Send contributions to Hillary"

No we won't.

Btw, who is so foolish to send money to a multi-millionaire?

alison: "and on May 6th: Obama will win NC by 10-12%"

not so somber alison, our man is up 23% in today's Rasmussen NC poll! :)

I thought this was about private loans from the Clintons - I've been wondering throughout the campaign where Hillary's brothers were keeping themselves. I know they're not up for election, but they were both in big trouble after Bill's term of office - and one had legal troubles about timely child support payments to former wife, B. Boxer's daughter.
Would be interesting to know who they're lending to in their own circles.

Yet MORE anti-Hillary articles on this blog....

Crist is a decent gov - way better than Jeb -- and I don't care about his "preferences"

I was just pointing out to the uninformed posters here - why he will never be on a national ticket

(you seem to understand this already!)

hillary will win PA by 5-8%

and on May 6th: Obama will win NC by 10-12% and Indiana will be within a handful of points either way

then - Sen Clinton will being to hear the steady drumbeat of super delegates for Sen Obama

She can stay in and win Kentucky- that same day Obama will win Oregon

And she can still stay in --
Clinton will lose Puerto Rico and Montana

Michigan will be seated 50%/50%
Florida - nothing will happen till the nomination is decide

The race is over - and the little old ladies will stop giving their lunch money to the $109 million dollar candidate

The Clinton's will owe over $25 million to people who gave them $2.3 for the general in addition to $2.3 for the nomination and they have not started to reserve those funds until last month

As I was dumb enough to give early - I am expecting my $2.3 back!

It is the economy stupid!

The Clinton's may be rich but their campaign is broke - and the sourcing dries up more every day

Kerry, I hope you are right. Tim Russert had Christopher Hitchens and Andrew Sullavan on his show. Could he be more obvious, two people who HATE Hillary. You would think he would have someone on to balance the coverage, but they don't even care what they look like. I have never seen anything like the media hate-feast.

Send contributions to Hillary.
