Hillary and Bill's trails of shady, filthy, fat-cat money. A MUST read.
Wayne O'Leary, a progressive writer and contributor to the publication The Progressive Populist from Orono, Maine, has researched and outlined the many very shady and very disappointing fat-cat money trails associated with the Clintons pertaining to their library and foundation and, of course, to Hillary's campaign. It is an expose' piece from a well respected and highly credible PROGRESSIVE writer and publication. It is a must-read that tells us exactly why Mrs. Clinton's (and Bill's) financial behaviors and dealings should be very difficult for any progressive Democrat to swallow, and most likely offers considerable insight as to why they are witholding their financial records.

Here is the URL to the complete piece. Below that is one excerpt.

"More recently, there is the massive flow of presidential-campaign dollars coming from political action committees, most of them business oriented—far more PAC contributions to Clinton (nearly $1 million for the year ending Dec. 31) than to any other candidate in either party. And finally, as reported in The Nation, there is the political money raised for Clinton’s White House run by bundlers with questionable backgrounds or outright criminal records—fugitive Hong Kong venture capitalist Norman Hsu ($850,000), Iranian-American PAC founder and private-equity speculator Hassan Nemazee ($500,000), and mystery financier and infamous former Harken Energy head Alan Quasha (amount unspecified)—footloose entrepreneurs who walk the narrow line that borders impropriety."

2. So, fire back at Obama with no real response to this piece? Are you a coward or in denial?
