The Ed Show: Clinton Was PAID MILLIONS BY BANKS Backing Keystone Pipeline

50. In the context of 250 million 1.6 is not much I agree.

I find your insistence that it's only $400,000 more than a bit naive. The Koch brothers talk in terms of 900 million they plan to spend on the 2016 election. They seem to be interested in getting the attention of the Clinton campaign and have a long track record regarding the influence they are purchasing.

I live in North Carolina where Koch money bought the entire state government along with the Chief Justice of the NC supreme court. This resulted in extremely weak rules regarding fracking, among several other Koch projects including gerrymandered voting districts, the dismantling of public schools, and the restructuring of the UNC University system to reflect their disturbing and severely distorted version of Christianity

If the Koch brothers have sent money to Clinton's foundation by any means it is certainly with the expectation of a sympathetic hearing. They only work one way and I have seen it in operation.

You may continue to insist that Hillary is not going to listen to the people with all that money. I appreciate your optimism and wish it represented a future I could believe in. I have seen them up close and they only spend money to get results, no matter the amount. They would not spend the kind of money they have without some idea that it will indeed pay off down the line.

They keep score by dollars, favors done and owed, promises paid for and delivered, and how many people they have in their pockets. They have been working with HRC for some time and believe they know what to expect. If you cannot see the way that wind blows I am sorry for you. They may not have specific promises but you can depend on it that they know which way she will lean when the time comes. It is what they do.
