Take the money!! -- that's the bottom line, that's always the bottom line: just take the damn money. You know it, I know it, and they know it. They're gonna' take the money, so why hesitate?

There's yet another John Podesta email out on Wikileaks that is causing a (very small) bit of a stir over at Reddit. The email talks about taking money from "persons acting as agents of foreign principals in a political or quasi-political capacity" who are registered as such under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). (Is there anything fishy about foreign governments funding a US Presidential campaign? Of course there is, cut out the carp!)

Here are the relevant parts of the long email chain between many people on a large list of recipients.

The chain has been dragging on for awhile, and Mr. Dennis Chang is getting impatient and writes:

Hi all – we really need to make a final decision on this. We’re getting to the point of no return…

So then Mr. Robby Mook forwards the whole long email chain to everybody, and says, blah, blah, blah... I've changed my mind:

Are you guys ok with that?

So then, jpalmieri@hillaryclinton.com (presumably, Jennifer Palmieri, formerly WH Communications Director, , currently Hillary Clinton's communications director) just cuts through the crap:

Take the money!!

That's where I pick up, can't we just cut through the crap?

The email chain is only making a modest stir over at Reddit because everybody already knows that it is all about the money. The Clinton camp does't care if it is foreign money, or terrorist money; they don't care if it's oil money, or gun-runner money, or from Satan himself. Take the money!!

Oh, as an aside, Tony Podesta, brother of John Podesta, is on their list as a registered foreign agent -- for Iraq, Azerbaijan, and Egypt. Tony Podesta is bundling up foreign money and handing it to John Podesta. Ain't that cozy.

So why the long email chain? Really, just cut the crap, why pretend that they are torn about accepting bribes from foreign governments to fund Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign? Yes, I am offended by taking cash bribes from Iraq and Saudi Arabia, but I've sadly accepted that corruption is the status quo. What really irks me here is that they are so damn inefficient about it, and that all these corrupt little stooges feel that they have to do this dance every-time, like they actually have human souls, or ethics, or something.

So, while Jennifer Palmieri is as creepy as any of the others, at least she wants to get this charade over, and get some work done, and just cut through the crap. Take the money!! You go Jennifer; you tell 'em.

And everybody already knows that the media is in the bag for Clinton, and from Politico covering their complicity with Clinton and pretending to care about the US citizens' faith in 'democracy,' to CNN saying it is illegal to posses this email I am discussing, everything I read from the corporate media is guaranteed crap.

[So what, I saw a stolen car -- so you're gonna arrest me!? You want me to buy that load of crap, CNN? EDIT: My point being, while the act of stealing the emails was probably a crime, this isn't a physical car, this is information, and I'm fairly certain that "possessing" the text of the email is not a crime. If CNN wants me to believe that, they should tell me the statute, or maybe one of those unconstitutional acts, don't just try to intimidate me and claim I must have a media priest like CNN interpret the holy emails. Hell, I'm the media, never heard of Grey Wolf Press?!]

Hey, media, you f'd up. You have zero credibility! You are in the same boat as Clinton. Everything you say is suspect, so Politico, CNN, Hillary Clinton, just because you said something means that I, John Q. Public, assume that it is a lie.

(Because I've witnessed the media, and HRC, lying so often before that it would take some serious effort to now convince me that they aren't lying. Yeah, shocking -- I assume rain is wet because it was wet yesterday and was wet last week, and will probably be wet next week too!)

Bottom line: Clinton will take anybody's money, and rain is wet.
