This is exactly what it was like when Hillary and Bill were in the White House. Scandal after never ending scandal. It is the one gift that keeps on giving. Yet they are always the ones to collect the $$$$$$

In a refreshing twist, Good Morning America’s reporters actually committed the act of journalism on Friday, investigating Hillary Clinton. Maybe the FBI will come along later.

"“Raj Fernando. He was named to the prestigious International Security Advisory Board but resigned last year, shortly after ABC News asked about his qualifications to be on the board.”

LOL - nothing to see here.

Oddly enough, this is also being reported on CNN, which I had been led to believe was the Clinton News Network by some herein:

Clinton donor received top spot on State Department intel board - CNNPolitics.com

Regardless, fishy as can be. Of course, such things are sadly routine. Whomever becomes president, we will see friends, donors, business associates and influential party people made diplomats, etc.

I do doubt it will have much in the way of 'legs', even from Republicans (well, save for Mr. Trump). After all, it appears that this was a non-paid position on some 'advisory' panel.

It does seem that the gentleman that briefly served on the board was a fish out of water. Here, for those interested, is a list of the current board members (chaired by former Senator Gary Hart, of Monkey Business fame):


Current Board Members

Another name that, on surface, does not make a lot of sense:

"Mr. Robert N. Rose, President of Robert Rose Consulting, LLC and former Senior Advisor to the Chairman of Bridgewater Associates, one of the largest hedge funds in the world."

Hedge funds? Wouldn't have access to sensitive information help a hedge fund manager?

Anyway, they meet four times a year. They probably meet in some room, have a few drinks, and call it a day. I doubt they are truly given much in the way of sensitive information.

Who else mixes sensitive information even secrete information with hedge funds ? State Dept. Hedge Fund Hillary ring a bell. Just a coincidence ? One thing for sure we the public are not in the loop.

Hope you're not surprised.

Think of how little both the disastrous GDP report (late April) and May jobs report (June 3rd) got.

The media will do whatever it takes for Clinton to win.

If it isn't one of Hillary's talking points its lightly mentioned and back to the propaganda.
