, Hillary Clinton is not following in his footsteps.
The former secretary of state raised more than $2 million from 40 “bundlers”—fundraisers who get their contacts to give to campaigns—who were also lobbyists, according to financial formsreleased Wednesday by the Federal Election Commission. In all, the Clinton campaignraised$46.7 million between the beginning of April and the end of June.
Bundlers, who are often wealthy or well-connected individuals, do more than donate to campaigns. They put their social networks to work for favorite candidates, persuading (often equally wealthy and well-connected) family members, friends, colleagues, and other contacts to donate as well, effectively bringing in far more money than they could under the current legal donation limits. Individuals can contribute $2,700 to candidate committees (as opposed to super PACS) for the primary election and the same amount for the general election, for a total of $5,400 in a campaign cycle. Campaigns don’t have to disclose their bundlers—unless those bundlers are also lobbyists.
Clinton’s bundlers include some familiar names: Jerry Crawford, an outside lobbyist to Monsanto and Iowa kingmaker, put together another $35,000 or so. Tony Podesta, a mega-lobbyist who co-founded the Podesta Group and is the brother of Clinton’s campaign chair John, bundled almost $75,000.
John Podesta himself previewed the open-for-lobbying-donations strategy back in April, telling PBS’ Charlie Rose show, “I think that our judgment was we will take money if it’s legal, obviously” because of how much opponents were raising. “So, we’re going to raise the resources that are necessary,” he said.
Other bundlers lobby for big companies including Microsoft (Fred Humphries) and Exxon Mobil (Theresa Fariello) or industry groups including the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (Daphna Peled). Another group includes former staffers for prominent Democratic politicians (including President Clinton) and politicians themselves, including former South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges. Lobbyist bundlers don’t have to disclose their employers, but the names appear on both Clinton’s disclosures and 2015 lobbyist registrations.
Clinton spokesman Josh Schwerin said in an email that 94 percent of the more than 250,000 donors to Clinton’s campaign gave $250 or less. “Regardless of the size of their donation, the people who support Hillary’s campaign know that’s what she’s fighting for—working to ensure we have an economy that works for all Americans and not just those at the top, one that allows everyday Americans to get ahead and stay ahead,” Schwerin wrote.
Exxon didn’t immediately request for comment. The NCTA and Microsoft declined to comment. A spokeswoman for Monsanto said Crawford’s law firm has multiple clients. “I don’t think it’s fair to isolate his experience to working with us,” she said. Monsanto, however, is Crawford’s only lobbying client, according to filings, a relationship that dates to at least 2009.
Crawford, who has supported the Clintons since 1992, said he has not and does not intend to lobby Clinton on behalf of Monsanto. “I support Hillary now because I have no doubt she would be the best President of the United States our country could have,” he wrote in an email.
Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton super-PAC, wrote Thursday in an e-mail that the disclosures are “just the latest in a long line of instances where Clinton has been forthcoming in releasing key information to help voters make informed decisions.”
In April, a campaign spokesman, Jesse Ferguson, said Clinton “supports campaign finance reform and has voted for tough lobbying reform, but as long as Republican groups and candidates are going to spend millions attacking Hillary, we need the resources to fight back,”according to the Huffington Post.
Clinton was the only Democrat running for president to have declared lobbyist bundlers as of Thursday. Two Republicans candidates, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, also filed disclosures on lobbyist bundlers, with Bush raising more than $228,000 from eight lobbyist bundlers and Rubio raising more than $133,000 from three lobbyist bundlers.
Lobbyist participation in a campaign can be hard to avoid: Despite President Obama’s promise, theNew York Times found in 2011 that at least 15 of his bundlers had strong links to lobbyists, including “overseeing” them, even if they weren’t registered themselves.

White House confirmed Vladimir Putin asked President Trump in the private meeting if Russia could interview Obama’s Ambassador, Michael McFaul over alleged financial crimes involving Bill Browder.
The Democrats lost their collective minds over Putin’s request.
Hillary Clinton’s hypocrisy is astounding.
Clinton’s State Department failed to protect Christopher Stevens, an Ambassador to Libya and Sean Smith, a diplomat and information management officer in Benghazi, Libya, resulting in their deaths.
We also lost two retired Navy SEALs, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty on the night of September 11,2012 because of Hillary Clinton’s refusal to send help.
Hillary Clinton tweeted: Ambassador @McFaul is a patriot who has spent his career standing up for America. To see the White House even hesitate to defend a diplomat is deeply troubling.
Hillary Clinton ✔ @HillaryClinton Ambassador @McFaul is a patriot who has spent his career standing up for America. To see the White House even hesitate to defend a diplomat is deeply troubling.

The movie ’13 Hours’ gives personal accounts from eyewitnesses who were in Benghazi when Islamic terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound.
We lost FOUR Americans that night. Ret. Navy SEAL,Tyrone Woods, Diplomat, Sean Smith, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and Ret. Navy SEAL, Glen Doherty. Never forget.
How did Hillary Clinton respond to four Americans, including Diplomats killed on her watch? She asked, “what difference at this point does it make?!” during a hearing about the Benghazi attacks:

a Senate Judiciary Committee last week that Clinton aide Abedin forwarded "hundreds of thousands" of Clinton's emails to her husband. But two unnamed sources familiar with the matter told ProPublica that Abedin only forwarded a handful of those emails.
The sources told ProPublica that it was more likely that most of the emails appeared on Weiner’s laptop as a result of backups of Abedin's Blackberry device. The FBI said it would correct the record by sending a letter to Congress this week, but that plan appeared to be on hold for now, the website reported.
Comey said that it appeared Abedin made a “regular practice of forwarding emails to [Weiner]" so he could print them out and deliver them to Clinton.
However, when the emails were obtained, they turned out to be mostly duplicates of emails that federal authorities had already received earlier in their investigation, ProPublica reported.
Comey’s testimony before the committee members was his most extensive public explanation of the events that unfolded 11 days before the November 2016 presidential election.
BREAKING. It turns out Comey lied about Hillary under oath! Why should you care? Because this attention whore is currently investigating our president! We cannot have a liar seeking attention in this position to hurt our POTUS!…

Let's say um...Hey how about Hillary Clinton. Use your biblical math skills to come up with a designation for her. She would be the perfect placebo subject because we know for fact from her establishment experience that she is a pathological liar and sociopathic serial murderer.
If your equations for her can show us this through inductive reasoning, then you will legitimize your conclusions about Trump and just think, unlike the FDA, I'm only requiring one acid test.…

oadcast of HBO’s “Real Time.”
Sullivan began by criticising “This unbelievably useless, terrible candidate of Hillary Clinton, who has shown no –.”
After host Bill Maher asked Sullivan to explain, he asked, “Have you ever — has she ever given a speech that you were inspired by? Does she have any good retail skills? Is she able to come across on TV?”
Sullivan added, “A large majority of the country don’t believe a word she’s saying, for good reason. This week, her cynicism reached like an almost perfect Clinton level.”
After Maher suggested the press might be to blame, Sullivan responded, “Oh poor, poor Hillary. She can’t handle the press?”
Sullivan later stated, “She’s a talent-free hack.” He further argued, “The only decision you could really put on her was the disastrous Libya invasion, which repeated every mistake that George W. Bush made, that violated everything that Obama stood, and has led to disaster.”
He further called Clinton “a mediocrity, and I think if the Democrats are sane and sensible, this is a dangerous time for this country, they need to find someone with ability, and talent, and leadership. But not her.”
Sullivan also blasted her email server as a “dumb error,” continuing “60% of the country don’t believe a word she says. … no one gets elected president if no one trusts you, or believes a word you say, for good reason. Do you really believe she genuinely opposes this Pacific trade pact? Do you really — the one she argued for, negotiated for, and this week came out against it? For what reason? She can’t even give a good reason.”
Maher conceded that Clinton is “a calculating politician,” but that “I’d rather have a politician who calculates than one who can’t.”
Sullivan countered, “The question is, not whether she can calculate, is whether she can do anything but calculation, whether she has any vision, whether she has any core beliefs, or whether she’s in the prison of another bubble called Washington, which tells people just because of…people that they’ve worked with, or the establishment that they’re unimpeachable, they will always be the candidate.”

a Sniper Fire" Story Exposed
Excerpted from EO-History: The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why?
“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.
Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach – including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.
The actions of Hillary and her cohorts went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including then-House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill, that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.
The brief involved precedent for representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970.
“As soon as the impeachment resolutions were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford, and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer,” Zeifman said.
The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committee’s public files. So what did Hillary do?
“Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public,” Zeifman said. Hillary then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding – as if the Douglas case had never occurred.
The brief was so fraudulent and ridiculous, Zeifman believes Hillary would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge.

New evidence shows Hillary Clinton masterminded 'Fast and Furious'
Last week it was reported that the State Department and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were deeply involved in the scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious, or Project Gunwalker. Today, however, new evidence has surfaced indicating that not only was Hillary deeply involved in the scandal but was one of the masterminds behind it.
According to investigative citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh, sources close to the development of the Gunwalker scheme state that early on, Hillary and her trusted associated at State, Andrew J. Shapiro, devised at least part of the framework of what would later become Operation Fast and Furious. It was Shapiro who first described the details of the proposed scheme early in 2009 just after the Obama Administration took office.
History Moves Fast And Furiously For Eric Holder And The Obama White House ARTICLE LINK: http://www.prisonplanet.com/history-moves-fast-and-furiously-for-eric-holder-...
The White House has a pattern of manufacturing political propaganda, inventing terrorist plots, and creating fake political narratives. All this is done to direct American public attention towards fantasy and fiction, and away from reality and truth.
When controversy starts brewing in Washington, Obama White House officials get busy behind the scenes to try to change the political conversation in order to save themselves from facing public scrutiny and justice for their crimes against America and humanity.
The two biggest genuine controversies that could bring down the Obama White House if enough journalists write about them on a consistent basis are Barack Obama's fake birth certificate and Eric Holder's criminal role in Operation Fast and Furious.
These treasonous scandals, on top of the cover-up of the false flag 9/11 attacks, portray a White House that is perhaps more criminal and diabolical than the Bush administration. I know politicians don't get crazier than Cheney and Rumsfeld, but at least you knew where those two evil traitors stood.
The cast of characters that make up the current White House hide their evil behind "change" and "hope." Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Barack Obama, and other top White House officials are very mentally deranged liars who are motivated by power and greed, not love of country.
Some of them are politically compromised so they have to go along with the lies and deception, but some of them lie endlessly to the American people and the world because they love it. I've seen the smiles on Cheney's face, Rumsfeld's face and Hillary Clinton's face when they lie. They are enjoying every second of the grand historical deception about the war on terror and other U.S. government policies, of which they play a central part in defending and promoting.
