State Party Officials Reportedly Displeased with Clinton-DNC 'Laundering' Scheme
State Party Officials Reportedly Displeased with Clinton-DNC 'Laundering' SchemeSource: Common Dreams
Politico's deep dive into the latest Federal Election Commission filings, published Monday, shows that the Hillary Victory Fund "has transferred $3.8 million to the state parties, but almost all of that cash ($3.3 million, or 88 percent) was quickly transferred to the DNC, usually within a day or two, by the Clinton staffer who controls the committee."
The analysis continues:
By contrast, the victory fund has transferred $15.4 million to Clintons campaign and $5.7 million to the DNC, which will work closely with Clintons campaign if and when she becomes the partys nominee. And most of the $23.3 million spent directly by the victory fund has gone towards expenses that appear to have directly benefited Clintons campaign, including $2.8 million for salary and overhead and $8.6 million for web advertising that mostly looks indistinguishable from Clinton campaign ads and that has helped Clinton build a network of small donors who will be critical in a general election expected to cost each side well in excess of $1 billion.
I'm shocked! Shocked!

It's a disgrace.

(17,064 posts)She just wants Hillary to win, so she can get an appointment and continue on the gravy train. If Republicans win other elections...well, she's described them as her "friends".

(109,028 posts)that the DNC money going to database and GOTV operations helps ALL Dems.
Berrnie uses the same DNC database that Hillary uses, but let's just pretend that the work of the DNC is only benefiting Hillary.

(8,759 posts)What has she done? What has improved? Where have we made gains?
We haven't. We have lost 11 governorships, 13 U.S. Senate seats, 69 House seats, and 913 state legislative seats and 30 state legislative chambers.
This report, commissioned by the DNC after we had our asses handed to us in the 2014 midterm is largely being ignored.

(8,759 posts)it has been given lip service only. No actual effort has been made in years to court new talent.
I mean seriously, in a country with millions of Democrats, the only viable candidate is another Clinton. I mean that in a generic, non-partisan way - not a ding her as a person - but we seem to keep rehashing the same people, over and over again.

(57,936 posts)The Democratic Party faithful at all cost like Hillary. Other than that, her only hope is that the Republican candidate is so hated that she wins by default.

(10,622 posts)The first example might also be allegedly being used for other laundering going on using "shell companies" and personal "foundations" allegedly
Of course there are some non political personal wealth money laundering happening allegedly regarding arms sales and influence peddling, allegedly of course, until proven other wise. Regardless, they still follow three steps most money laundering employs.
1)Placement
2)layering
3)Integration

But "reportedly" works, too.

Geronimoe
(1,539 posts)Easily hoodwinked by the Clinton Charitable (political) Foundation.
Ino
(3,366 posts)just have to ask themselves, "If she lied about this, maybe all the criticism of the Clinton Foundation, trading State Dept favors for donations & speaking fees, etc., is true too? Maybe she's lying about being a progressive? Maybe she lied about (fill in the blank)?"
I mean, really... you would think a light bulb would go on!

(5,668 posts)that less than 1 % is going towards Democrats downstream and 1. had to grab a screenshot. 2. Wait what about all those Clinton supporters crying foul about Bernie not doing anything for Democrats as per $$. (less than 1 %?) um isn't that about as much or smaller than what Bernie might be doing. Boggles my mind how many laws or rules she's gonna break if she ever gets on top She's too scary to me. I need someone with a bit more candor and some sense of humor (obama has it) Bernie has it. Hillary's always comes out forced. Like oh Uhura translating stuff into Klingon on which one Trek 3 or 5? can't remember. don't translate right. and she laughs forcfully and cuts the mic no laughing

(474 posts)about that woman. i've even heard her willing to cave to convservatives on women's right to their own health care choices.
the american people can't pay her enough to be represented in her government.
we see how well Clinton, Inc. did when she was SoS. Can't wait to see how it plays out when the whole US government is a leisurely service of ClintonCo

(1,511 posts)When ever I mention the corrupt superdelegates or the laundering, they never reply to that part. I have yet to get one person to argue with the money laundering...but also have yet to see one to agree it is messed up.
A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)are super delegates that have pledged to support her.
That's her super delegate bribe money, keep your damn hands off it if you know what's good for your hand. I was called a liar when I first mentioned that down ticket money was bribe money, mostly silence about it now for some reason.
Lot's of people are going to have buyers regrets if Hillary wins the nomination but it won't do all of us any good because it will be too late. When she loses the general election, and even if somehow she wins the general, the Democratic party will see a mass exodus which will eventually destroy the party. But never fear, it won't be Hillary's fault of the party disintegrates, it will be Bernie's fault. Of course if she loses the general election it will be the liberals fault as always.

(36,582 posts)My state was in on that deal & Sanders got 60% of the vote, but to date 9 of our 12 SDs are going with HRC.
I wasn't crazy about Kerry, & I didn't like his Iraq war vote, but I never got the impression he was a power hungry asshole like I do with HRC.
northernsouthern
(1,511 posts)...an no one has argued because it is pretty much a fact. The fact that the HRC people ran the down ticket attack, now that it turns out it was a lie...such sweet irony. I wonder if Bernie helped more down tickets with his Atul endorsements.
