THE FRAUD – AT 9:16 A.M. ET: Is there any limit to Hillary Clinton's deception and dishonesty? If sos, I'd like to know where it is. From Fox:
Hillary Clinton, just three weeks after blasting "unaccountable money" and calling for a campaign finance overhaul, reportedly met with potential donors to a super PAC backing her White House campaign Wednesday -- the first such face-to-face meetings held by a Democratic presidential candidate.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Clinton met with a small group of potential donors to Priorities USA Action Wednesday in San Francisco. Campaign officials told the paper that she will take part in more such meetings, including one planned to take place in Los Angeles on Thursday.
News of Clinton’s meetings with would-be donors was first reported by The New York Times.
They come after Clinton last month made campaign finance reform a centerpiece of her newly launched campaign. She called for getting "unaccountable money out of [politics] once and for all -- even if it takes a constitutional amendment." The remark was widely seen as a reference to the 2010 Supreme Court cases that opened the door for super PACs.
Jeff Bechdel, spokesman for the conservative America Rising PAC, said in a statement about the former secretary of state's super PAC meetings that "Clinton's hypocrisy knows no bounds."
COMMENT: Even if "unaccountable money" is taken out of politics, the Clintons will figure out a way to put it back in. It is incredible that Hillary Clinton, with her ethical challenges, is still the leading candidate for president. Have we come down that far?
In 1952 Richard Nixon went on television, in his famous "Checkers" speech, to explain a small slush fund that he'd been given by donors. The fund, a tip by today's standards, almost cost him the vice-presidential slot on Dwight Eisenhower's presidential ticket. Nixon survived.
The Clintons have made tens of millions of dollars from their publicly paid careers. The Democrats don't care.
