Patrick Murphy Hates Super PACs – Unless They’re Funded By His Dad

Category: AR PAC

During tonight’s CGI U’s Closing Conversation, Hillary Clinton made sure to steer clear from addressing the latest scandal plaguing her campaign-in-waiting. Bill Clinton, on the other hand, faced questions about the Clinton Foundation accepting donations from foreign governments. Despite the overwhelming consensus that doing so raises numerous ethical questions and conflicts of interest, Clinton defended the donations, saying accepting them is “a good thing”:

“We do get money from other countries, and some of them are in the Middle East. And the money that we raised in the last couple of years are for an endowment so all these programs will run forever even when I get to the point when I can’t raise the money every year, are from people who have helped us before, and I think it’s a good thing.”

Hillary Clinton is now enduring day 3 of editorial boards from across the country criticizing her “homebrew” email system and complete disregard for transparency.

The brutal press onslaught appears to be taking its toll, as a new poll out from McClatchy-Marist shows Clinton losing ground with her potential GOP rivals. [Read more…]

During today’s State Department briefing, spokesperson Marie Harf admitted that there will be no way of knowing whether Secretary Clinton turned over all of her emails to the State Department. [Read more…]

Hillary Clinton tried to “reset” relations with Russia on March 6, 2009. She’s called it a “brilliant stroke,” but it’s obvious that’s far from the truth.

Here’s just a handful things that have happened since:

  • April 2009: Russia widened the ban on U.S. meat imports.
  • May 2009: NATO expelled two Russian officials over allegations of espionage.
  • 2009: Russian authorities tortured and murdered Russian whistleblower Sergei Magnitsky.
  • March 2010: Clinton had to call on Russia to delay construction of a nuclear plan in Iran, saying it “would be premature to go forward with any project” without Iran dropping its nuclear ambitions
  • June 2010: The U.S. arrested 11 Russian spies assigned to infiltrate American society.
  • May 2012: Russia’s top military officer threatened a preemptive strike if U.S. deployed a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe.
  • June 2012: Days before the G-20 Summit, the main Russian arms exporter announced it would begin “shipping advanced defensive missile systems to Syria that could be used to shoot down airplanes or sink ships if the United States or other nations try to intervene.”
  • March 2014: Russian troops seized installations across the Crimean Peninsula.
  • November 2014: U.S. jets intercepted six Russian planes flying near American airspace in Alaska.

Yesterday, editorial boards blasted Hillary Clinton’s judgment for using a personal email account to conduct official business at the State Department. This morning, another wave of editorials rolled in, bringing with it phrases like “She should have known better” and Clinton’s actions “offend basic expectations of transparency.” [Read more…]

Anyone wondering why Hillary Clinton issued an 11:35pm panic-tweet regarding her State Department email scandal need look no further than newspaper editorial pages across the country.

Below is a round up of some of the nation’s newspapers blasting Clinton’s poor judgment and preference for personal secrecy over national security. [Read more…]

Last night, Hillary Clinton FINALLY spoke out about her State Department email scandal – on Twitter (womp womp):

Not surprisingly, Clinton’s lame 130 character explanation raises more questions than it answers. Given the national security implications, here are a few questions Clinton might want to answer, preferably with her mouth and not her keyboard:

1) That would only include the emails the State Department has – the ones hand-picked for release by her advisers. What about all the emails the State Department did not receive?

2) How will the emails be verified, and by whom?

3) Why address such a serious matter via Twitter, and why did it take more than 48 hours since the scandal broke?

4) After the State Department said this morning it will take “several months,” is there a definitive time frame in which it will be releasing the emails?

5) If they contained no classified information, as the State Department claims, why do the emails need to be reviewed?

6) Were Clinton’s servers ever hacked?

These are important questions to which Americans deserve answers.

Ruth Marcus at the Washington Post lists even more unanswered questions.

A LOT of Democrats don’t have Hillary Clinton’s back on her State Department email scandal. National Journal and CNN quoted 19 Democrats who were too busy to defend her, or just didn’t want to defend her!

3) “She’s going to have to give an answer to it” – Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT)

Some wanted to make sure everyone knew they weren’t defending Clinton.

4) “I want to be clear I am not trying to defend Hillary Clinton” – Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD)

Others Democrats were too “busy” to talk about it.

5) “[I’ve] been busy with other things around here” Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD)

11) “I don’t know” – Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)

12) “I don’t know enough about what those rules are, honestly, to comment” Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND)

sophiscated cat newspaper meme Hillary Clinton OMG

Other Democrats just ignored the question.

14) Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) ignored the reporter’s question.

15) & 16) Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Rep. Sander Levin (D-MI) wouldn’t comment.

18) “Can we talk about it later? I have to go to my vote” – Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

19) Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) also said she was in a rush to vote.
