The Hillary Victory Fund.

http://usuncut.com/politics/hillary-clinton-bilking-state-democrats/

According to a new Politico report, the Hillary Victory Fund has kept 99 percent of approximately $60 million it was supposedly raising for state Democratic Parties. Under the agreement signed by Democratic Party leaders in 33 states, the Hillary Victory Fund would solicit donations from super-wealthy donors for as much as $353,400.
...
This new report vindicates Sen. Sanders’ claims that Hillary Clinton was improperly using her joint fundraising committee to get around campaign contribution limits. Current campaign finance rules only allow a donor to contribute $2,700 to a campaign in a single election cycle...... Clinton is flouting campaign finance regulations.

My guess is the same reason they didn't look into the same agreements Barack Obama, John Kerry, Al Gore, or Bernie Sanders had.

And they STILL haven't made a report to the FEC about this "money laundering" because they know there's no substance to it.

Slimy, Bernie, slimy. You're just a politician, despite your posturing.
