\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s get to this Politico story<\/a> on the Clintons, \u2019cause it\u2019s big. I mean, The Politico and a lot of Drive-By Media outlets are really worried about this. They\u2019re worried about the Peter Schweizer book. They\u2019re worried about Hillary\u2019s e-mails and the servers. They\u2019re worried. This is sticking. There are some people in the media terribly worried about this, and what\u2019s also, I think, obvious now is that there is not — as there was with Obama, there is not — uniformity in the media supporting Hillary. <\/p>\n

She does not have blanket support in the media for her presidency, for her campaign. There are plenty of \u2019em that want somebody else. Some of them want Elizabeth Warren. Some of them are gonna want this O\u2019Malley guy<\/a>. And I\u2019m telling you, keep an eye on Jim Webb. You can laugh, but keep an eye on Jim Webb. It\u2019s early, and I remember at this stage in 2007 everybody thought Hillary had it locked up. <\/p>\n

There wasn\u2019t even a breath being expelled with the name “Barack Obama” on it. It was Hillary\u2019s. It was a fait accompli. It was going to be a coronation. She thought so, too. Out of the blue came Barack Obama, and the media immediately fractured. It took this program and Operation Chaos to maintain Mrs. Clinton\u2019s campaign all the way through the summer. If we hadn\u2019t engaged in Operation Chaos, Obama would have wrapped up that nomination in April or May instead of June or July or whenever he did it. <\/p>\n

Now, The Politico: “A handful of deep-pocketed donors are reconsidering their gifts to the $2 billion Clinton Foundation amid mounting questions about how it\u2019s spending their money and suggestions of influence peddling, according to donors and others familiar with the foundation\u2019s fundraising. … This story is based on interviews with more than a dozen donors, staffers and operatives who have interacted with the foundation or continue to do so. Taken together, their accounts portray an organization scrambling to address concerns about its budgeting, fundraising and donor-vetting while being buffeted by a raging political storm.”<\/line><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you this. Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve got Sleazy Donor A over here who has donated $10 million, $15 million, $20 million to the Clinton Foundation. He\u2019s expecting Mrs. Clinton\u2019s gonna be elected the president and that Bill Clinton and Hillary are gonna be back in the #1 and #2 seats of power, and that he\u2019s gonna get it paid back for his donation, whatever it is he wants. That\u2019s why he\u2019s giving the money and he\u2019s gonna get it, but it requires her being elected. <\/p>\n

Well, now all of a sudden what appeared to be a slam dunk doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s gonna be a slam dunk, it may be harder, and some of these donors are starting to ask, “Wait a minute, have I maybe thrown my money away?” Then they see that 85% of the money donated to this foundation is going to salaries, travel expenses, entertainment expenses, everything but actual charitable or other kinds of functioning donations. <\/p>\n

Only 15% of all the money collected actually goes to something like that hurricane or earthquake relief or disaster relief of some kind or malaria. Whatever the foundation claims that it\u2019s doing, only 15% goes. Now, they don\u2019t particularly care about that. What they care about, the donors\u2019 concern is, “Uh-oh, that\u2019s not good. That could mean the people I\u2019m investing in to win the election are gonna have a tougher time winning. <\/p>\n

“If these people are gonna get caught playing games with this kind of money, then this is looking like a riskier and riskier proposition.” So they\u2019re starting to get concerned. Politico: “The worst case scenario for the foundation, its allies say privately, would be if Clinton lost her presidential campaign in a manner similar to the way she lost her 2008 race to then-Sen. Barack Obama, which at least temporarily tarnished the family\u2019s political brand. Unlike 2008, a losing 2016 campaign would effectively end the political ambitions of” the Clinton Crime Family.<\/p>\n

This is it. <\/p>\n

If this one blows up, if this one bombs out, there is no, “Give us four more years and we\u2019ll get it right.” This is the last stop. That “That would thrust responsibility for the foundation\u2019s future squarely into the hands of [Chelsea]. While she is being groomed to take over,” but these people don\u2019t know Chelsea from Smelsea. They don\u2019t know what they\u2019re dealing with. They gotta trust that she\u2019s gonna grow into the family tradition as the mother and father have dictated. <\/line><\/p>\n

All the while, Bill is out there saying, “Don\u2019t worry. Everything\u2019s fine! Hillary\u2019s just like you and me. But she\u2019s not an everyday person. (She Ain\u2019t Everyday People parody song) “White comedian Paul Shanklin<\/a>,” the vocal portrayal there of William Jefferson Blythe Clinton as Sly Stone and the family, a takeoff Everyday People. By the way, this is the New York Post<\/a>: “Charity Watchdog: Clinton Foundation a ‘Slush Fund\u2019 — ‘It seems like the Clinton Foundation operates as a slush fund for the Clintons,\u2019 said Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, a government watchdog group where progressive Democrat and Fordham Law professor Zephyr Teachout was once an organizing director.”<\/p>\n

“Charity Navigator, which rates nonprofits, recently refused to rate the Clinton [Crime Family] Foundation because its ‘atypical business model … doesn\u2019t meet our criteria.'” I\u2019m telling you, this kind of stuff — you know, the donors, people that give big money to these people — are not nearly as confident as you who are afraid of the Clintons are that they\u2019re gonna be okay in this. I mean, they\u2019ve got their money at stake.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quote, by the way, from a Red State story: “Last year, former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell drew 2 years in prison. He was accused of accepting golf outings, free travel, and loans from a political donor well under $200,000 in value. What this shows is that if you have the right politics during the time a Democrat is president that you are bulletproof.” But Bob McDonnell and his wife went to jail, and they are pikers compared to what the Clintons are doing and have done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
