Well, they set up houses of cards that make themselves fabulously wealthy and then when they collapse they keep the money and leave the steaming wreck to be cleaned up by the government. Privatize the profits and socialize the losses.

Then they buy politicians wholesale - some of these people come CHEAP, though I expect that Hillary is rather high maintenance for them.

Then these politicians bail them out and they keep their jobs and give themselves HUGE bonuses essentially made only of bailout money.

And then they offshore their assets and pay no taxes at all.

**** them.

Too much money in politics, AKA influence/lobbying.... whatever. The only reason I point it out is because for all of the evils they commit the candidates simply can't say no to them... or something
 
It's not a document dump, it's a fake indictment that never was more than a draft.

I predict it's going to be another right wing wet dream that 3/4 of the population will consider more crying wolf.

It's a draft indictment that was never actually used because they had no case. Seriously, it's going to get the right wing all excited and other people are going to say, it's more persecution.

Group files suit for Hillary Clinton Whitewater draft indictments
The draft indictments have never been publicly disclosed, but Ewing said he was spurred to draft them because he doubted the veracity of then-first lady Hillary Clinton's statements in interviews in 1995 and her testimony before a grand jury in 1996. Ewing said some of Clinton's statements about her law firm's work for the failed Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan were not consistent with those of others at the firm.
The National Archives declined to release the documents on the grounds that doing so would invade the privacy of Clinton or other individuals. One of the relevant folders is marked, "Hillary Rodham Clinton/Webster L. Hubbell Draft lndicment [sic]," according to a letter the archives sent Judicial Watch in March of this year.

So now I'm wondering, if the expectation is that Clinton will veer sharply to the right, why don't the right wingers support her? It sounds as if she would be their stealth candidate.

The Next Act of the Neocons
Are Neocons Getting Ready to Ally With Hillary Clinton?

Other neocons have followed Mr. Kagan’s careful centrism and respect for Mrs. Clinton. Max Boot, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, noted in The New Republic this year that “it is clear that in administration councils she was a principled voice for a strong stand on controversial issues, whether supporting the Afghan surge or the intervention in Libya.”



And the thing is, these neocons have a point. Mrs. Clinton voted for the Iraq war; supported sending arms to Syrian rebels; likened Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, to Adolf Hitler; wholeheartedly backs Israel; and stresses the importance of promoting democracy.

It’s easy to imagine Mrs. Clinton’s making room for the neocons in her administration. No one could charge her with being weak on national security with the likes of Robert Kagan on board.

Now comes the triangulation;

http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/11/19/clinton-sheds-progressive-facade-bold-rightward-lurch

From her call for a major air and ground war against ISIS to her attack on single-payer, observers note that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is rapidly shedding her "progressive" façade as she grows increasingly confident she has the Democratic nomination locked down (an assumption which, evidence shows, is debatable).

This trend comes despite her declaration during the first Democratic debate in October, after being pressed by the CNN moderator: "I don't take a backseat to anyone when it comes to progressive experience and progressive commitment."

She's a chameleon, looking like whatever she needs to, whenever she needs to. How anyone supports her is a complete wonder to me.

You know, I liked her 16 years ago, then she carpetbagged her way into NYC and I was pretty damned disgusted with that. And she voted for everything Bush the Lesser wanted. Everything. And we didn't even get a reach-around.
 
And notice how her support for free speech and artistic freedom never flags!

Whenever we asked comedians in the past if anything in comedy is “off limits”, its always been a mixed response. Half of them will say no, with the other half claiming yes. The argument being that you can always find the “funny” in any situation and circumstance whether it is tragic or not. In this case, politics. Political comedy has been around since the dawn of the first joke and “making fun of” or “poking at” politicians is nothing new. Well, it seems the times they are changing. With the rise of the internet and dominate streaming video services such as YouTube ruling the roost, these jokes can live forever in the internet graveyard. A politicians worst nightmare. Well, guess who’s fighting back.

Getting clips removed from the internet is nothing new for celebrities caught in situations that can be damaging and/or are unappealing to their character or brand. As for politicians, this seems to be a new frontier because these are the people that run our country, states, and local governments. The stories that may emerge from videos are of the public interest who have the much argued “right to know”. According to Judicial Watch, “Hillary Clinton’s campaign is going after five comedians who made fun of the former Secretary of State in stand-up routines at a popular Hollywood comedy club.” That club is The Laugh Factory. Club owner Jamie Masada was contacted by the Clinton camp about a certain video posted on its site, “They threatened me… I have received complaints before but never a call like this, threatening to put me out of business if I don’t cut the video.” As of the writing of this story, The Laugh Factory’s site is actually down.
