What's the Deal with the Five Clinton Shell Companies
At today's Press Conference, Obama pledged new actions to dig into disclosures of Shell Companies used to hide income from US taxes. If Obama is serious, perhaps the announced actions will help clear up the nagging questions about consulting fees paid to the Clintons through their Shell Companies.
... Number one, we are requiring banks and other financial institutions to know, verify and report who the real people are behind shelf corporations that set up accounts at those institutions.One of the main ways that companies avoid taxes, or wealthy individuals avoid taxes is by setting up a bunch of shelf corporations and making it harder to trace where monies are flowing and what taxes are owed. We’re saying to those financial institutions, you have got to step up and get that information.
Second, we are plugging a gap in our tax rules that foreigners can exploits to hide their assets to evade taxes. The Treasury Department and the IRS are issuing a proposed rule to make sure foreigners can’t hide behind anonymous shelf companies formed inside the United States.

Shuffling money around from various places to various places.
Just like the average Joe or Jane on $25,000/per annum.
The Clintons are very ordinary people. Remember Hope, AK. And if you don't.......... well someone might come round and put your kneecaps out of order.
But remember, they're sweet, sweet people, with a Foundation that helps others........and themselves.
Gëzuar!!

White house will be haunted by Vince Foster's Ghost
From wikipedia "Within hours of the death of Vince Foster in July 1993, chief White House counsel Bernard Nussbaum removed documents, some of them concerning the Whitewater Development Corporation"
I get the feeling bodies will start getting unearthed this summer.

OMG - CNN says Bernie is open to being Hillary's VIP. Is he nuts?

Have them wake you up in 4 or 5 years with the option of going back to sleep if it looks like it still sucks outside.
Beware the bullshit factories.
No way
is that a serious notion. That's just CNN, making another breathless headline out of what someone didn't say.
CNN is full of it
In The video clip with that article, Bernie never says he will accept VP if it was offered. Total BS. CNN is losing it.

Clinton News Network opts for MISLEADING headline
Bernie did NOT leave the door open to being Hillary's VP. Bernie deflected answers to both of Wolfie's questions.
I must admit, however, that I did appreciate the second story. I saw that same video (?yesterday?) and appreciate someone letting HRC know she's not as well-liked or appreciated as the major networks make it seem she is.

I'm not surprised that the Clintons have bogus shell
companies. The whole damned Clinton foundation is a money laundering scheme for their friends to get lucrative contracts.
How the hell was it legal for the foundation to work with the state department in Haiti? That's a huge conflict of interest. Anyone or any corporations that wanted in on the reconstruction after the earthquake had to go through the Clinton foundation first and then it had to be approved by the state department. And guess who made those decisions? Huma Abedin who was both in the foundation and a member of the state department.
The pay to play weapons deals from countries with horrible human rights violations. After the weapon sales, those governments would give millions to the foundation.
And when Obama appointed Hillary as SOS, he told her to keep the foundation separate from her duties in the state department. She agreed that she would. Oops.
Same as what happened in Libya and Honduras.
Both were heavily involved with each other.
But Libya is where the FBI should be focusing its investigation. Bluementhal was sending Hillary business opportunities for both him and the foundation to get business. And he hadn't gone through the process of getting a security clearance so anything he sent her broke the security law.
Plus he outed a CIA agent's name in an unclassified email and Hillary or one of her staff forwarded it to other people.
Good lord, I don't want either of them back in the White House. Imagine how much more damage that they can do to this country and the world!
Was Humpty Dumpty pushed?
THAT is why the Clintons had their own private email server
Anything sent to/from Hillary as SoS could be seen by Bill, or forwarded to Bill, or printed out and given to Bill so he could take it to the Clinton Foundation and complete whatever deals he wanted.
Hasn't anyone made that connection yet? Are people in DC (and/or the FBI) so stupid they can't see what's right in front of them? Or have they been bribed not to know by the Clinton Foundation?
This was a headline today:
Edit: Cenk Uygur touched on the email server + Clinton Foundation earlier tonight in this video:

Are people in DC (and/or the FBI) so stupid?
" Are people in DC (and/or the FBI) so stupid they can't see what's right in front of them? "
Not that stupid, but definitely that corrupt. Rule of law is only for commoners. US Govt is total Foobar now.

Remember Deep Throat's Advice
Follow the money.
As Upton Sinclair once observed, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” "Those in DC and/or the FBI" are smart enough to know that their continued cushy employment in the service of the uneasy alliance between the "democratic" investor meritocracy and the "republican" energy tycoons means acting ignorant of the reality of violations of the law.

At least you get a paycheck :)
My boss has to go through hoops and loopdydoos to pay us. See the Feds don't think I should get paid. But I should pay taxes.
It's quite complicated. But not.
I work in a for realsies medical marijuana dispensary.
So once a month I get paid with a big wad of money and I take it all to the bank and I watch them count it out while they make comments about "well, it's obvious you're not a stripper" or even funny remarks from a teller who is delighted or supports MMJ. But it's always embarrssing and a bit of a long transaction.
Yesterday was payday.. I wish I could just have direct deposit again and not worry about withholding for taxes or being embarrassed or being robbed.
Or raided.

"it's obvious you're not a stripper"
Now that is freakin funny.
Still amazes me that the Feds treat weed like it's main lining heroin. But I suppose when Big Pharma is your puppet master, you gotta tow the line and do absurd things to kill the competition.
So glad to see the states finally flippin the bird to the Feds on MJ.

I see it as an insult, CoE
I might have wanted to punch her/him in the throat for implying I couldn't be one lol. But then, I was one decades ago when I looked an awful lot like the picture in hecat's open thread. Wild days, those; and so much wasted on youth.
Ah ok. I see your point.
I guess it can be interpreted more than one way.
I read it like: The teller is thinking who else but a stripper would show up with a stack of small bills.
And only someone who is an idiot would even be thinking like that. Like seriously whose business is it where I got the money, just stfu and deposit it fer chrise sakes.

I remember that sick feeling when I learned that GWB had no idea you could buy pre-sliced bread or knew about check out scanners.
I have a sincere feeling Ms. Rodham doesn't have a fucking clue about the peasants daily lives either.

IIRC she had something against staying home & baking cookies ;-D
oh hell ya she said that
I've hated her since the 90s. LOL

somebody needs to slip her a brownie
Toklas type brownie?
As if even that would mellow her out!
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
the kind you might get at Janet's job site
I wouldn't sell her a brownie :)
She can have a THC suppository though.

Oh, her?
She's goddamned SURE we all eat cake.
I'm coming damned close to hating that bitch.

You aren't there yet?
I've been there a long time...
It was somewhere around "Super Predator" or "Welfare Reform" where I found that I hated her...
I felt a twinge of sorry for her when Monica blowing Bill hit the press...
Then I realized that her only problem with the BJ's was that the press covered it...
The feeling sorry for her was gone immediately...
I was back to full on hate...
