BREAKING: HILLARY CAMPAIGN DONORS CAUGHT UP IN PANAMA PAPERS SCANDAL


Two of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's biggest backers are featured prominently in the International Consortium of Investigative Journalist's records on offshore bank accounts.

The billionaire Israeli-U.S. family, headed by media mogul Haim Saban, has contributed over US$6,000,000 to Clinton's campaign outright. Haim is known for using his vast wealth resulting from a long and illustrious career in the entertainment industry to fund pro-Israel candidates and organizations.

For example, Gil Saban Limited, a company in the name of Haim's nephew, is one of the first names that shows up. Gil oversees the Israeli version of the popular children's program "Power Rangers," one of the many media properties Haim bought and sold over the years.

The intermediary to which it is linked, Credit Suisse Channel Islands Limited, is connected to 918 other entities in the Panama Papers, none of which have names listed as beneficiaries or board members. Another intermediary, Steval Management SA, is linked to 732 entities.

Apparently...

And when did real Democratic people start using guilt by association as a tactic?. Not something I'm used to all this nasty from Rovian corners.

this is part of who they all are, and they assume they are entitled to public office because of all this cash. They have created a meritocracy, where money equals virtue. But the veneer on their shine is wearing thin fast.

I hope we don't find out that rich people use money to influence pet projects and activism.
