It just dawned on me why HRC has stopped spending money. [View all]

She can say anything she wants now.

She can do anything she wants.

She knows NOW what the FBI is going to do.

She already knows they are coming for her.

Why spend any more money? Why go into debt?

There's another whole game going on right now out of sight. A massive PR offensive is about to begin that pays only lip service to the election.
