To sum up here, a corrupt Venezuelan banker hired a lobbyist close to Hillary Clinton, made a donation to her family’s foundation and has been allowed to live in the United States without fear of prosecution in his homeland. At a time that Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, the Obama Administration staged what can only be described as a political prosecution of an honest man and long-time government employee.

Mr. Raffanello has concluded this about Hillary Clinton’s campaign: “I learned a lot about her and her family when I was in the government, and how they are put together,” he said “She is a person who will say and do anything in order to get elected president. I don’t think she’s going to win, but there’s nothing she won’t do while trying.”

right wing media in the hopes that people won't recognize the right-winginess of it.

Just like they refused to cover Bernie, and it's still so, just not as bad.

Anti-Establishment information is just that. MSM is no friend and does not report information that doesn't fit the currrent groupthink.

So, given that, your question then becomes understandable.

Just another one-liner devoid of real content.

I am sick of the Clinton family.

The death and destruction these two families are responsible for in the U.S. and

globally is incalculable !!!

They are nothing but con artists.

Nor are the sites they link to. One radical right wing rag after another. The first name they mention is "Fox News Contributor" Judge Andrew Napolitano.

There are plenty of credible sources on Hillary Clinton without going to the right wing cesspools.

on CNN, or NBC, or the New York Times et al?

This reminds me in many ways of the American Revolution. The rag-tag Revolutionaries vs. the Royal Crown.

As a liberal, I read and research and think. If it jibes with other information, seems to follow a trend, gives historical reference, then yes, I consider it. I don't Believe much of what I read until it lines up with other sources. This is hardly Breaking News...it's just that Establishment Democrats don't like it. It's how DC is done...both parties. Nothing new under the sun...just the names and dates and countries change.

Soon we must look toward the GE, and get out heads out of the sand as to actually getting a Democrat in the White House. Make no mistake, the Republicans are not nearly as forgiving and understanding as FDR Democrats are pressured into being.

Clinton donor (Tirado) smeared a decorated DEA agent and helped crooked Venezuelan friends escape justice...


Incredibly, the Obama administration not only failed to help the Chavez government investigate Mr. Tirado, but it also indicted a legendary former DEA agent named Tom Raffanello, a one-time head of the DEA’s Miami office and the agency’s chief of congressional affairs during Bill Clinton's first term.

Mr. Raffanello’s subsequent prosecution, which ended in abysmal failure, almost surely was prompted and abetted by Mr. Tirado, a secret FBI informant. Unsurprisingly, the vindicated Mr. Raffanello had few kind words for Mr. Tirado or Ms. Clinton during a recent interview.

“Tirado believed in buying influence,” Mr. Raffanello...

But the paranoid Mr. Tirado, certain Mr. Raffanello was to blame, paid Venezuelan writers to place stories saying Mr. Raffanello worked for the CIA, Mr. Raffanello told me. That led to the Chavez government questioning Mr. Raffanello for alleged corruption involving the Stanford bank, though it determined the allegations were groundless and never charged.

About a year after Mr. Raffanello left Stanford Bank, he was indicted by the Obama Justice Department for allegedly shredding Stanford Bank documents. The case went to trial in Miami in 2010. On February 10 of that year, as the jury was deliberating
Judge Goldberg interrupted its deliberations and unilaterally acquitted Raffanello saying the evidence against him was substantially lacking.
