Hillary: “I Don’t Know” How To Reconcile My Vow Against Unaccountable Money In Campaigns With My Super PAC Millions

Come one, Bernie, why should she have to know anything? Or have any policy position not fully vetted for safe non-damaging consumption?

She just thinks no one should care or bother to ask her these things, just give me the crown now! But the wheels on the Scooby bus are starting to come off…

Via NY Post:

Bernie Sanders, the Vermont socialist, is confused by the carefully packaged rollout of the Democratic front-runner’s presidential campaign.

“Why don’t you tell me what Hillary Clinton is campaigning on?” he asked on MSNBC of Clinton’s “Scooby van” trip to Iowa. Sanders, who’s eyeing his own 2016 run, then echoed Mayor de Blasio’s now-famous doubts: “You don’t know, and I don’t know, and the American people don’t know.”

Clinton’s two-day tour sure didn’t fill in any blanks, because it was crafted for the cameras, not for the (few) voters she met.

At one stop, she sat with a few small-business owners and sang their praises — then ignored one woman’s complaint that high tax rates hurt her business.

Still, the businesswoman’s question was a notable departure from Hillary’s script, which ran to hand-picked participants and, by some reports, pre-screened questions.

At Kirkwood Community College, her public contact was limited to seven students and teachers tapped for a camera-friendly roundtable with 15 others in the audience.

Questions from journalists? Few and far between — and any that went off-script also went unanswered.

One reporter asked Clinton to reconcile her vow to purge “unaccountable money” from campaigns with the super PAC now raising hundreds of millions for her. She shrugged and said, “I don’t know.”

This may be only the start of a long campaign, but Clinton needs to do better — unless she wants to work the miracle of convincing America that Bill de Blasio makes sense.
 
Clinton Foundation Will Continue To Take Money From Foreign Governments While Hillary Runs For President

Morals and rules are only for the little everyday people.

Via Fox News:

The Clinton Foundation said late Wednesday that it will continue to accept donations from foreign governments during Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, despite concerns that such gifts will create a conflict of interest for the Democratic front-runner.

The foundation’s board said that donations directly to the foundation would only be allowed from six governments — Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom. However, other governments could continue to participate in the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), a subsidiary program that encourages donors to match contributions from others to tackle international problems without direct donations to the charity.

The foundation also said it would stop holding CGI meetings abroad after a final session planned for Morocco in May. According to the Wall Street Journal, ministers from any government would be allowed to attend and appear on panels at CGI meetings and those governments would be permitted to pay attendance fees of $20,000.
 
Of course, if she gets elected, Hillary will supplement her income by renting out bedrooms in the White House, the way she did as First Lady. :(
