(6,007 posts)First there was the security review
Then the classified information/national security espoinage investigation
there might be another in there somehwere and
FINALLY
Corruption . .
I think that's too much of a job for someone to handle in and of itself, let alone thinking you can do it AT THE SAME TIME as being President. Better think this "hard choice" through FIRST, instead of waiting to see where the chips fall.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is blasphamy of our democratoc party since CLINTON is a big part of party brand. HIDE
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri May 27, 2016, 12:01 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "blasphamy", really? I don't see "blasphamy" as a violation of rules. I want to alert on your alert for damaging the "democratoc" brand. but is not aye loud.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alert is poorly worded - I don't understand the point. This is pretty standard snarky Hillary bashing and doesn't reach the threshold for a hide. Not hide able the previous dozens of times it was posted, not a hide now
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: That's probably the most skin-thinned alert I have ever seen in my life. Alerter, please step away from your machine. This place obviously isn't for you.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I considered hiding this post until I saw the alerter's comment. Blasphemy? Really? I don't believe in such a thing.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This WILL be a part of the discussion in the upcoming election.
All of us would do well to discuss it more so when the accusations and distortions come we are more able to counter them.
We ignore it at our own peril.

(12,754 posts)If I want to give you a fuckton of money, it's very hard to do without incurring heavy taxes. So, I "hire" you to do something -- give a speech, be a consultant, whatever. Then, it's taxed as ordinary income.
However, if you're smart, you set up a "charity." Then not only is the money not taxed, but I can claim a deduction for it.
It doesn't matter if the "charity" only gives about 6 to 8 percent of its take in charity and the rest in salaries and perks.
