I’m talking about political corruption! Clinton’s money trail, vaguely calling it “contributions“, become bribes, “constituent services” turn into quid pro quos and “charities” become slush funds!? She is not the first person to profit in this way, and for sure not the last one. You see that all over the world happening with the so called leaders, but the problem here is that she might be elected to the highest office in America! And before you start actually voting for her, you must realize that you not only vote for her, but also for Wall Street and the financial-services industry, big pharmacy and health-care companies, entertainment industry, National Automobile Dealers Association, eBay, United Fresh Produce Association, some of the most unsavory folks on the planet, Nigerian and Middle Eastern dictators and Kazakhstani despots, the Chinese, the Russians, Saudis, National and International banks, and the list goes on.
Mandatory financial disclosures released May 2016 show that, in just the two years from April 2013 to March 2015, Hillary Rodham Clinton collected $21,667,000 in 92 “speaking fees,” in addition to that she also received 5 million dollars as an advance for her 2014 book, “Hard Choices.” But not only that, her husband collected $26,630,000 in personal-appearance “honoraria”.

Totally cashed: $21,667,000

There is no problem with the money she and her husband earned. It’s a business thing and I admire her and her husband to be able to produce so much money. Good for them.
No, the problem is that because of going into the election with the intention to become an American President! In that case, those “honorariums” will be protection money! Talking and thinking about Mafia! Wow!
And then we have the former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen McDonnell. They were convicted of accepting more than $150,000 in gifts from a businessman while the governor was in office. Meanwhile, the Clinton’s raked in many times that amount under the pretext of speaking fees while Hillary Clinton was in public office.

But thank god that she has (still) some friends in the high office!
And that’s not all. No, this amount of money is nothing compared with the money the Clinton’s managed to collect with their Clinton Foundation, we are talking about billions of dollars!
And then we have the shadowy dealings with Libya, the email scandal, which shows that she can’t be trusted for public office. And when we are talking about this obvious political corruption, we can logical wise state that there is much more.
As final words, I’ve something to say about the common good. If she wants to avoid being prosecuted while she’s President (if she manages to be elected), or she wants to avoid that Donald Trump is becoming the President (and it becomes more likely by the day), and she loves her country and the Democratic Party, she must withdraw from the elections and give Bernie Sanders a chance before it’s too late.
