Yep, we knew this was coming.
Take a look at how long it has been since Hillary said she will 'look into releasing her Wall St. transcripts'...Over 101 days as of today! http://iwilllookintoit.com/

Wait till they start...
on the Clinton Foundation. How it has escaped scrutiny is beyond me.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
It has escaped scrunity...
For two reasons:
1) Bernie is far too decent to bring this up (and the e-mail scandal) as an issue.
2) The Clinton Foundation has greased enough palms in the media to keep it suppressed.
Democrats, we tried to warn you. How is that guilt and shame working out?
why is it "decent" to not mention the Clinton Foundation?
if there's crookedness going on then Bernie really should go after the Clintons. "Policy" includes management and mismanagement of funds.
Bernie has said that he wouldn't go
negative on her, but he does bring up the bank speeches and her Iraq vote and regime change actions , so I think he should talk about the foundation.
Especially when she keeps hitting him on the gun issue. He could hit her back on her approval of weapons sales that are causing so much death and destruction in the Middle East.
But, he doesn't push for peace if he's been voting for the funds to keep the illegal wars going.
Anyone know which members of congress vote against those bills?
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Of course, It's all Bernie Sanders' fault that she took...
...all of that money. Somehow...
I want my two dollars!
i love bernie,
but it's definitely his supporter's fault she took that money.

No, it's Sanders supporters fault.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
She'll stonewall on this shit just like Mitt Romney did
when he got away with not releasing his tax returns. There is precedent. She won't do it. Count on it.
Her Majesty is NOT going to release her transcripts because fuck all y'all who wanna know, it's nonoyerdamn bidness... She's wrong to keep them withheld, but she doesn't care if she's wrong, or she would have released them by now.
Such a liar.
Not to hijack your diary,
but I just read she's going to put Bill in charge of revitalizing the economy. The Republicans are going to have a field day with that.
She is so politically unsavvy it hurts my head.
And by the way, I've listened to Bill speak many times after he left office and a few times on the campaign trail and interviews. He is Not the same person he used to be. Something is different with him now.
What's not different is that there's another scandal brewing
https://www.rt.com/usa/343048-clinton-epstein-lolita-express/
Latest Bill Clinton sex scandal
Just send everything over to D Kos and they'll launder it for them. There is nothing in the emerging scandals that their super scandal laundering powers cannot handle - nothing !
Marcos wrote a diary saying how he is suddenly supporting
Elizabeth Warren as Hillary's VP choice. Assuming Hillary makes it to the VP choosing stage, I would be very disappointed with EW if she accepted. I do think, though, that Marcos would be a good choice for Hillary's Minister of Propaganda.
Beware the bullshit factories.
Oh brother. Kos must
finally be facing what a weak candidate his Hillary is. She needs an extra strong, well liked VP like Warren or Sanders to try to drag her over the finish line of the general.
The reasoning might be that Warren as VP would inoculate Clinton somewhat against the Big Banks and other charges. Not necessarily, but a nice try. Probably also there is hope that Warren on the ticket might bring back some of Bernie's supporters.
Should have picked a decent candidate in the first place instead of trying to shore up the ticket now.
No way in hell will Hillary choose Elizabeth.
Two women from the Northeast is incredibly stupid.
QED
What seems to us incredibly stupid is exactly Hillary's MO.

I am sick and tired of hearing why I should vote
for Hillary in November (should she win the primary.)
I listen to caller after caller on the Thom Hartmann show with advice for people: You have to vote for Hillary because of this and that.
Eff them. They should have voted for Bernie and we wouldn't have this problem now.
(Yeah, I know, I'm being harsh, but I will never listen to someone who supported Hillary in the primary dare to tell me that I should vote for her in the general because republicans and Trump are so bad. They should have thought of that before voting for Hillary in the first place.)
mmhmm..

Are they what HRC uses to wipe her computer?
The rag content is high in those papers, so, yes.
I understand that Morning Joe
discussed Bill's 26 flights on the Lolita Express.
Actually, there's no need to make up stuff about the Clintons. The Republicans can just use provable facts.

Last year
it emerged that Epstein allegedly transferred $3.5 million from his secret Swiss bank account to the Clinton Foundation around the same time as the FBI began investigating him.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
I don't understand the implication of this, though
If Bill was involved and Epstein was going to refuse to point the finger at his companions, wouldn't the money be going the other way, as a payoff for Epstein keeping his mouth shut?
What would be the point of giving money to the Clintons? Obviously, if Bill was on those flights, he had an interest in keeping Epstein out of jail without any money coming in from him...
I guess that money to the
I guess that money to the Clintons is a payoff for governmental favors like a lesser sentence. Then from the Clintons on down the food chain of officials including prosecutors, judges, etc. The Clintons have political power and want money, Epstein has money and can purchase their political cronies.
You could be right about the lesser sentence
I think he only served 13 months. I wonder how long a regular person gets sentenced for having sex with minors and sex trafficking?
Either way, it sure makes Bill look like the horn dog he is.
Even if he wasn't involved in the underaged sex, I'm sure that he knew about it and turned a blind eye to it.
See, the Clintons stick up for women and children. At least that's what I'm told. Constantly!

Mia Farrow's brother sentenced to 10 years
He was found guilty of molesting boys, not girls, which may explain the harsher sentence. Also, although closely related to a Celebrity, he wasn't one himself, and didn't have the same political connections.
(If you Web-search this, be careful, or you'll wind up in one of several cesspools.)
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Clintons Need Those Scandals
so they can claim to be victims. While everyone's attention is diverted, they pick pockets, sell off weapons, pull down the big bucks for themselves and hang out with war criminals.
Okay, I'll come out and say it.
I honestly believe Bill has dementia issues.
Believe me when I say that I take no, absolutely NO joy in saying this, as I've personally dealt with relatives and are dealing with older relatives who have have dementia, one of them much younger than Bill.
I agree
and he's going out mean. Some get docile. He is a loose cannon.

And here's the first canary in the coal mine...
Meet the Democratic senators who are already looking to compromise with President Trump
To be sure, the usual suspects. But what do they know that they don't think we already know?
As for Sen. Claire McCaskill:
...substitute female pronouns for male pronouns and she's just described the candidate she's rabidly supporting...
I want my two dollars!
Nice catch. No surprise to me that my senator,
Joe "No Chin" Manchin is already hedging his bets by making nice with El Trumpo (along with Tester and McCaskill). Here in WV, we call him the Panderer-In-Chief. Among other things.
Edit: spelling. ugh.
"Just call me Hillbilly Dem(exit)."

that
nearly made me blow mt. dew all over. i never noticed his name is man-chin. hahaha.
that's almost mst3k material.. Senator Chunk McLargehuge!

Bob Johnson! Doesn't he still post at TOP?

Another good catch!
Bob sure does. I wonder if that's where he got his moniker? One of the remaining "good guys" over at TOP. A Bernie man, too. One of the reasons I go back, along with LD, Toby, don Midwest, Meteor Blades, etc. Still a few left. But dwindling fast.

By the way, I guess you noticed that after WV primaries, suddenly Dems were all over the intertoobs talking derisively about "hillbillies."
They seriously don't care who they piss off.

I hadn't read your whole comment yet and was ready to
write to exchange "he" with "she." But you covered it.
The most recent flip-flop is she/her wasn't going to campaign for the primaries anymore. Oh, look, she's in Kentucky.
McCaskill really pissed me off A LOT years ago when
she was so pissed that Medicare paid for scooters. Her mom could walk, so she expected everyone else who was elderly to be able to walk. I know this is drastic, but I have two words McCaskill. You can guess what they are.
UK Corruption!
It does make the scale pf British election corruption seem rather amusing:-
"It has been claimed that the Conservatives have misallocated spending during their 2015 general election campaign. "
"The total spending Channel 4 has identified amounts to more than £38,000"
Could theoretically lead to election re-runs and possible government loses.
Doorman's tip in your place.
Trump can pound her on this.
It would be ironic if Trump released his transcripts for paid speeches and then pounded Hillary to do the same. Bernie already released the transcript of the one speech he gave where he earned $1,800 that he donated to charity, so if Trump released his, that would leave Hillary as the odd woman out.
If I didn't know any better
I'd think Clinton is going down one way or another. It just seems like too much. The main problem I have with that though is Clinton is a mass murderer and no one in the mainstream or in the election campaigns is talking about that. The worst thing she's ever done is wage illegal wars in Libya and Syria, along with Obama, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions evicted from their homes. But that doesn't come up, instead its this stupid email thing about "secrets" that shouldn't be secrets.
But it would not surprise me now to see Sanders end up the ruling class Democratic party nominee for President of the Empire and certainly wouldn't surprise me if Trump wins if she does become the nominee.
The thing that blew my mind
was the chart on donations in relation to arms deals.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence. And I'm also sure that foreign money was not comingled with domestic money in the Foundation. And I'm very, very sure that none of the Foundation money is being used to fund her campaign.

Just a tad off topic
Have you seen reports of the poll that showed Bernie beating Trump in Georgia of all places?

The good new is buried in paragraph 4. But a buried jewel is still a jewel.

I don't doubt for a minute that Bernie could
win quite a few red states.
I don't doubt that either
And the reason is that people, ALL people, admire honesty. They like knowing that what they've heard is what they'll get. That is a rare commodity.

I hate Republicans for lots of things
But possibly the thing I hate them for the MOST was that they were such jerks in the nineties that they made me defend the Clintons. I just wasn't permitted to hate them in peace. Besides, I wanted to keep Gore's hopes alive.... I feel so dirty.
