Do you see a pattern there? Why would anyone think Hillary was going
to do anything. She was the biggest recipient of the bribes.


Unreal. Thanks for digging that up. Hard to believe she still lost.


Opensecrets.org rolls up all of the FEC reports and lets you search
them in various ways. You can see where the money comes from and where
it goes. It explains a lot.
