Bill Moyers Frontine investigation. How Hillary Clinton learned to launder campaign contributions through the DNC

Last edited Tue May 3, 2016, 11:18 PM - Edit history (1)

There is a lot of information that I cannot post because of copyright rules. But I highly recommend reading Joe Lieberman's comments and also how Bill's campaign fucked over a very poor indian tribe.

Washington's Other Scandal
A Frontline Investigation with Bill Moyers.

So in a trial run, the president's men experiment with laundering contributions through the state parties.

On August 22nd, the Democratic National Committee sends $30,376 to Florida. That same day, $30,376 is sent from the Florida party back to Washington, straight to the company producing the Clinton-Gore advertising campaign.

ANNOUNCER: [Democratic National Committee television commercial] As Americans, there are something we do simply and solely because they are moral, right and good-

BILL MOYERS: In six states, ads produced by the Washington campaign team and "sponsored" by the DNC go on the air.

ANNOUNCER: [Democratic National Committee television commercial] -but because it was the right thing to do. The Republicans are wrong to want to cut Medicare benefits. And President Clinton is right to protect Medicare-

BILL MOYERS: The ad attacks the Republicans, but does not include the words "Vote for Bill Clinton." They claim it is an "issue" ad. It is now clear to the president that "Plan B" will let him have it both ways.

Pres. BILL CLINTON: It means that we can finance this campaign in 1995, so I don't have to worry about it in 1996. So this is a brilliant thing that they have done, this plan that you have participated in because-

BILL MOYERS: He can take public money and agree to the limits on spending by his campaign, and at the same time raise tens of millions of dollars in private money for the advertising blitz and spend it through the DNC.

ARCHIE HOFFMAN: I guess he did check into the Fort Reno property and found out about all that gas and oil under Fort Reno. So he seen money there, about $50 million. He wanted us to sign a contract giving him 10 percent of that, and he'd get that property back for us. And he said, but if we didn't do that, he said he'd make sure we never got that property back, you know?

BILL MOYERS: "They want the land given back to them on a platter," Landow told FRONTLINE when he refused an on-camera interview. "They brought in innocent people like me. They're a bunch of goddamn uneducated Indians."

RICHARD GRELLNER: He started out that, you know, "I didn't have the ability to get this done for the tribe." That evolved into, "If you don't do this, I'll make sure you don't get it back." So we were kind of in a position that, you know, of what became a stickler of a situation became a stick-up.

They would call him a corrupt and venal person who needs to be indicted!

But it's AOK with them as long as it's working for Hillary, becuase since day one they have approved of the rigged game Hillary has been playing.
