72. "ended up being used" for his mistress is misleading and unfair.
Tue May 5, 2015, 01:15 AM
May 2015

She and her advisors knew perfectly well they were not donating her money to his Presidential campaign, but to keeping his mistress in the style to which she wanted to become accustomed. That was proven in court. That's why he was found not guilty.

I never voted for him and never planned to vote for him. Additionally, as I said, I will never forgive him for running for President, knowing very well that his affair could wreck the election for Democrats, if he were to become the nominee, not to mention his dying wife and his children. Uber selfish narcissist and all around @#$%, in my book. However, his only crime as to Mellon was being doted on by a woman who could more than afford to indulge the objects of her doting.
