It is just the latest "scandal" created by the Fox News/right wing noise machine to keep their ratings up and help with GOP fundraising. Republicans have been playing this game for decades now, how many millions of taxpayer dollars will they waste this time generating talking points for the conservative sycophants?

Your link, at this point is speculative. Not untypical for you.

Deal. I guess this is something liberals and conservatives can come together on. "Campaign finance reform!"

Oh dear. Someone is having a bad day. If Hillary accepted donations from foreign governments for her campaign, I would be concerned. But that didn't happen.

A donation by a foreign government to the Clinton Foundation while Clinton was secretary of state is not the same as money sent directly to her.

Yes, Fox News has been making stuff up about the Clintons since its inception.

If anyone even cares today, they won't by election day.

Every one of the candidates will have their own financial skeletons in their closets this time around. It won't be the first financial discovery that will make any of them sink like a rock- it will be the last one. The one that will be uncovered 2 weeks before the election.

Then why are you complaining about the big donors to the Democratic party?

Is that so? Tell us about your experience as a member of a labor union. No silly anecdotes please.

Was not complaining. Just underscoring your continued sycophantic, hypocritical, shallowness. Not even complaint about you. The entertainment value is priceless.

So if I understand you correctly, you are actually in favor of unlimited funds to candidates given by wealthy persons who want to buy an election?
