Is anyone seeing this stuff?
It's kinda all over the interwebs. Will MSM notice? Report? Still rigged?
The AP: As Clinton asks for cash, campaign pitch remains a mystery
PROVINCETOWN, Mass. (AP) — It was a very busy, very lucrative weekend for Hillary Clinton in the summer playground of the East Coast's moneyed elite.
She brunched with wealthy backers at a seaside estate in Nantucket, snacking on shrimp dumplings and crabcakes. A few hours later, she and her husband dined with an intimate party of thirty at a secluded Martha's Vineyard estate. And on Sunday afternoon, she joined the singer Cher at a "LGBT summer celebration" on the far reaches of Cape Cod.
By Sunday evening, Clinton had spoken to more than 2,200 campaign donors. But what she told the crowds remains a mystery.
Clinton has refused to open her fundraisers to journalists, reversing nearly a decade of greater transparency in presidential campaigns and leaving the public guessing at what she's saying to some of her most powerful supporters.
Judicial Watch: New Abedin Emails Reveal Hillary Clinton State Department Gave Special Access to Top Clinton Foundation Donors
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released 725 pages of new State Department documents, including previously unreleased email exchanges in which former Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin provided influential Clinton Foundation donors special, expedited access to the secretary of state. In many instances, the preferential treatment provided to donors was at the specific request of Clinton Foundation executive Douglas Band.
And this, from the Washington Post no less.
FBI uncovers 14,900 more documents in Clinton email probe
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/fbi-uncovered-at-leas...
The FBI’s year-long investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server uncovered 14,900 emails and documents from her time as secretary of state that had not been disclosed by her attorneys, and a federal judge on Monday pressed the State Department to begin releasing emails sooner than mid-October as it planned.
Justice Department lawyers said last week that the State Department would review and turn over Clinton’s work-related emails to a conservative legal group. The records are among “tens of thousands” of documents found by the FBI in its probe and turned over to the State Department, Justice Department attorney Lisa Ann Olson said Monday in court.
The 14,900 Clinton documents are nearly 50 percent more than the roughly 30,000 emails that Clinton’s lawyers deemed work-related and returned to the department in December 2014.
Oh, you just calm down.
It's a witch hunt.
Nothing to see...just move along, sucker.

Reminds me of George W. Bush
During the 2004 election, President George W. Bush declared war on Social Security - in private fundraisers, behind closed doors. Then afterwards he claimed he had "political capital" and a mandate to destroy the only defined-benefit retirement plan most Americans have left.
Even Tea-GOP members of Congress ran away from that battle, but the 1 Percenters trying to take away what's left of our retirement have not given up - witness President Obama's attempts at a "grand bargain."
"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."
He was never going to be able to dismantle SS
That is something a "Democrat" will do. Probably HRC, she only wants to be President to do what her husband couldn't because he got a blow job in the oval office.
" In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry, and is generally considered to have been a bad move. -- Douglas Adams, The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy "
That's why it would be good to know
That's why it would be good to know what Hillary is saying to her 1 Percent backers. She even uses white noise machines to keep from being overheard.
"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."
Assume the worst,
Crank it up to 11, and you might get close.
Exactly.
And while her husband helped set up the 2008 and ongoing financial crisis, she gets to take credit for the Big One for Wall Street - the fees for handling it alone make them drool and she'll give it to them. She will have "bested" Bill by doing it and maybe in some small and petty way, she will have made him "pay" for that humiliating indiscretion in the Oval Office. If he'd just kept it in his pants, then it would be HIS legacy and not HERS. That's her payoff for sticking by the miserable son of a bitch. And it's ours too for ever believing these people ever actually gave two shits about the "American people."

I remember that "mandate". He was such an idiot.
How do you get a mandate when your opponent won the popular vote and you were appointed by the Supreme Court?

When you lay down with Billionaires, you wake up with millions. Isn't that how the old saying goes.
Gee, I wouldn't know
Perhaps you can enlighten us with your experience?
Heh!
Prof: Nancy! I’m going to Greece!
Nancy: And swim the English Channel?
Prof: No. No. To ancient Greece where burning Sapho stood beside the wine dark sea. Wa de do da! Nancy, I’ve invented a time machine!

Stop the War!
What is she saying behind closed doors?
Drop a big check in the box by the door and you can find out!
Much as we might assume she is making "47 percent" comments at these events, they may be just the same old boring stuff. What she isn't doing is giving anything away. You want access? Information? Transparency? That all costs money. Pay up. Right now it goes into the campaign fund, then it goes into the Foundation (where or where will it go if they have to separate themselves from the Foundation during her time in office)?
I'm thinking it's not just the "good stuff" she charges for, it's anything at all.

She's not getting much from the post-convention Berners
I'll do a longer post later, but a quick look at the FEC data from July shows only 2000 or so donors switched to her. That's about 1% of Bernie's total contributors. Another ~500 went to Jill and ~150 went Trump/Libertarian. Everyone else is on the sidelines.
We can’t save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed.

NPR had a story on Millennials not playing like they'd like
tonight. Apparently, the new thrust is that 30% of new parents are Millennials, and they're going after them (somehow).
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
yeah, same
shit, different day. Just more head exploding revelations about how our country, it's leaders (both political and business) are fucking us, everyone else, and especially the planet, and they just don't give a shit.
What else is new? (lol)

Considering her Hillbots are all excited over Repub endorsements
I assume she's saying all kinds of right-wing nonsense now.
Someone needs to go undercover. Weren't Romney's infamous "47%" speech and McConnell's infamous "I won't even let a minimum wage raise come up for discussion" secretly recorded at private meetings?
