Hillary Clinton is probably wishing she kept quiet and stayed in the woods right about now.
The woman was quick to re-enter the spotlight, and is now doing a media tour to promote her new book “What Happened.” Contrary to the headline, she doesn’t seem to have much of a clue as to why she lost to Donald Trump. She’s managed to blame everyone for her pathetic loss excluding herself – and some of her past decisions are coming back to haunt her.
Within a week’s time, she’s been hit by the “Uranium One” scandal, which, if true, means it was Hillary who had previously colluded with the Russians, approving a sale of 20% of America’s uranium to Russia. Bill Clinton had accrued $500k in speaking fees from a Kremlin-linked bank, and a number of Russian government officials funneled millions into the Clinton Foundation. In regards to that scandal, one legal expert told Fox News that Hillary could face up to 13 criminal charges. Chuck Grassley has called for a special counsel to investigate.
And that’s not all. While Hillary complained that the unverified, debunked anti-Trump dossier published by Buzzfeed in January wasn’t published sooner, it turns out that the Clinton campaign helped fund research of it. Opposition research is no crime in it of itself, but it’s how secretive the campaign was about it that generated a complaint to the Federal Election Commission. The non-profit “Campaign Legal Center” filed a complaint to the FEC alleging that hat Hillary’s campaign, Hillary for America, failed to file accurate reports in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), U.S.C. 30101, and commission regulations.
From the report: “Specifically, the DNC and Hillary for America reported dozens of payments totaling millions of dollars to the law firm Perkins Coie with the purpose described as ‘Legal Services’ or ‘Legal and Compliance Consulting,’ when in reality, at least some of those payments were earmarked for the firm Fusion GPS, with the purpose of conducting opposition research on Donald Trump.”
And what’s Hillary’s commentary on the madness? That the Republican Party is in a state of disarray.
According to The Hill, “former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she is worried about the trajectory of the modern Republican Party, warning in a new interview that the GOP is ‘imploding’ under President Trump’s leadership.
More from the report: “Clinton says that the future of the Republican Party is one of her greatest worries now that she is off the campaign trail. ‘I mean, there are a lot of things that I worry about, this is actually on my list, of what I worry about. The Republican Party is imploding.'”
You can see all of her remarks below:
Well, thanks for your concern Hillary – but the numbers tell a different story. The Democratic Party lost 1,042 seats at the state and federal levels of government (including the presidency, of course) during Obama’s tenure, and lost every single special election in the Trump era.
According to fundraising numbers, where the RNC is outraising the DNC 2:1, that isn’t going to change anytime soon.
When the most recent numbers came out, the Washington Free Beacon reported that “the RNC broke a fundraising record and raised more than $100 million during the first nine months of 2017, fueled by small-dollar donors at the center of a grassroots movement.”
Here’s more from the report: “Across the aisle, the Democratic National Committee had raised $46.3 million by the end of August with $6.8 million cash on hand. The DNC had not released September’s fundraising numbers prior to the Friday deadline for Federal Election Commission filings.”
The DNC also boasted over $3 million in debt, compared to the RNC’s zero dollars and zero cents.
