Snuffleupagus Donated to Clinton Foundation and Failed to Disclose It
Then went on a jihad against Peter Schweizer, saying he had proved nothing with his book about Hillary and the Clinton Foundation.
…which Georgie had contributed to.
ABC says no harm no foul. We’ll see.
This is bad.

On a daily basis.

Steve57 (e468ba) — 5/14/2015 @ 12:31 pmIf Pubs had any stones, I know, They would refuse to participate on any ABC show until he is fired. They won’t, of course, and that’s why they are known as the party of stupid. Also, why they get no money from me any more.
Gazzer (c1d25a) — 5/14/2015 @ 12:34 pmTime for the 2016 Republican candidates to make a list–starting with George S., Candy Crowley, and any current or former MSNBC employees along with anyone else of similar *ahem* “standards”–and add a paragraph at the end of it: “We will not participate in any debates or other events where any of these individuals is a moderator or a panelist. Period.”
M. Scott Eiland (a742b7) — 5/14/2015 @ 12:42 pmWow. Despite his long history with the Clintons and his obvious liberal bias I am genuinely surprised–not that he donated, but that he got caught not disclosing this donation. I really thought he was smarter than that.
elissa (564b62) — 5/14/2015 @ 12:55 pmHas he ever had to be, elissa?
Steve57 (e468ba) — 5/14/2015 @ 12:58 pmThe Clintons and their associates have gotten away with a lot.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:15 pmThe RNC made noises about having more friendly moderators in GOP primary debates. We’ll see how that goes. I sure would like to see GOP candidates grilled by Krauthammer, Hannity, Hume and such.
Maybe even a blogger panel: Ace, Insty, our host, etc.
Of course, maybe that abuses the idea of “friendly.”
Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:21 pmDisgusting but all to familiar with the media. They ALLLLLLL are vile crap who would benefit from a plague.
Rodney King's Spirit (b31520) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:24 pmso it’s not just sleazy George
but the whole news apparatus of sleazy sleazy Disney is going on record saying that the “Clinton Foundations” is utterly without question a bona fide charuity
and not in fact a slush fund for a slutty and herpetic ex-president, his ethically challenged whore wife, and his sleazy no-talent daughter
what this tells us is that ABC as a whole simply can’t be trusted to report fairly on this going forward
happyfeet (a037ad) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:28 pm“Clinton Foundation
s”and *charity* i mean
and did i mention that everyone involved is sleazy?
this is depressing
I wish I had some of those individually wrapped slices of pseudo-swiss cheese
happyfeet (a037ad) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:31 pmIt all depends on what the definition of transparency is.
Jim (a9b7c7) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:32 pmIt all depends on what the definition of “charity” is.
elissa (564b62) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:37 pmMr. feets, just for you. I formed a plank and did 20 reps with the 10lb Indian clubs. Which is less than the chick with the kettlebells in vid I linked. Who I respect just like the woman I couldn’t cover because she was a wide receiver and I’m like, maybe, linebacker.
I could have chased her all day. It wouldn’t have done any good.
But in my own defense the indian clubs are weighted differently. It’s not under your hand. It’s in front of your hand. And the Zebra rug was moving around a lot.
Steve57 (e468ba) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:38 pmi just have a machine thing
all these accessories seem like a lot of stuff to keep up with
happyfeet (a037ad) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:42 pmHey Georgie Porgy
Colonel Haiku (39d859) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:45 pman innocent oversight
strains credulity
Steer clear, Rs… if you have any sense.
Colonel Haiku (39d859) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:46 pmPer the Tribune:
elissa (564b62) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:47 pmHis donations, that he forgot about, are now up to 75,000 over 3 years. One might think that he would need to inform his employer of such a conflict, though it has been self evident since the day he started.
JD (ef7925) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:51 pmThis leaves David Axelrod, unbiased journalist.
Steve57 (e468ba) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:52 pmthere’s no way he forgot JD
every single time he thinks about deforestation, which he cares about deeply (so this must happen several times every day), he most certainly consoles himself by reflecting on all the trees he and his Clinton friends are saving with his $75,000
if he truly forgot then there’d be evidence that he’d sent in another $75,000 for to help the trees
but there isn’t (that we know of)
happyfeet (a037ad) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:57 pmJD, in my opinion Steph’s ethics issues are much greater than Brian Williams’ fables, most of which were primarily meant to just make himself look bigger and braver and cooler. Steph is consciously managing and shaping political narrative in order to influence the American public and future elections.
elissa (564b62) — 5/14/2015 @ 1:59 pmit’s not just George though elissa
ABC News is covering for him, so anybody they replace him with is equally as suspect
these people have no journalistic ethics
remember this is the sleazy outfit what hired racist hack Mark Halperin as their political director
happyfeet (a037ad) — 5/14/2015 @ 2:09 pmoh. actually no is this model
happyfeet (a037ad) — 5/14/2015 @ 2:13 pmI understand his plight. Obviously the Clinton Foundation is the only charity in the world trying to tackle the global AIDS crisis and deforestation. He had no choice, right?
Beasts of England (0e7bb1) — 5/14/2015 @ 2:42 pmMr. John Nolte gets it right about the complicity of ABC News in all of this tawdry and unethical business
happyfeet (a037ad) — 5/14/2015 @ 2:50 pmJust so it is clear, this asshattery does not prove he is a biased unethical hack. That has been established for some time now. From his history in the Clinton White House. To his gotcha birth control planted question to Romney, to his recent claims of investigative reporting on the foundation that he forgot he was donating to.
We all know they don’t self-disclose. It would be interesting to see who else in the MFM donated to the vast Clinton slush fund for trees. Or other campaigns. It would be eye-opening,’to some
JD (3b5483) — 5/14/2015 @ 2:54 pmThey will probably replace him as moderator with Chelsea Clinton.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 5/14/2015 @ 3:00 pmSo. 75,000 in donations due to his dearly held concerns of deforestation and AIDS. If you assume half of the donation for each topic, he sent 37,500 for deforestation. Now, since around 15 cents on the dollar is actually spent on the charitable cause, i realize I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, around 5625 went to the precious trees. With 10 minutes on Google I could find 10 ways to more effectively get 5600 to help fight the evils of deforestation.
JD (3b5483) — 5/14/2015 @ 3:06 pmOr Chelsea Manley.
Steve57 (e468ba) — 5/14/2015 @ 3:12 pmhere is how ABC News usually treats people who make inappropriate donations
they jack them up!
happyfeet (a037ad) — 5/14/2015 @ 3:18 pmThe Clinton Administration is like the mafia or an L.A. street gang: once you join you are never allowed to leave. Loyalty to The Family for life.
While Georgie Boy is pretending to be a real journalist, do any of us have any illusions that he’s working to cast Hillary! in the most favorable light possible — at least the most favorable light that he can get away with?
JVW (27e4a7) — 5/14/2015 @ 3:53 pmOr Chelsea Manley.

JVW (27e4a7) — 5/14/2015 @ 3:54 pmI live in a forest and all this talk of deforestation is making me uncomfortable.
Birdbath (3be0e2) — 5/14/2015 @ 4:00 pmSo. 75,000 in donations due to his dearly held concerns of deforestation and AIDS.

Aw, JD, that is totally unfair. Sure the Clinton Global Initiative doesn’t generally give direct funding to to these charitable causes, but you’re overlooking the fact that they send a private jet with “expert” foundation staff to these affected areas who stay in luxury hotels and have half-day meetings with various local leaders where they exchange their “expertise” and provide “invaluable advice” and then all go for a photo-op where they manage to look concerned yet optimistic about the future. Why sometimes even Big Bubba himself or young Chelsea (who is totally not concerned with money, by the way) tags along to show just how important this issue is to the foundation!
I mean, gosh, why would anyone want cold hard cash when they could have a visit from the Clinton Foundation “experts”? That’s why that 85% overhead figure is totally justified!
JVW (27e4a7) — 5/14/2015 @ 4:13 pmwho wouldn’t contribute to a slush fund set up to benefit “unemployed” – read between appointed fed government no-show jobs – to fight AIDS and de-forestation?
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 5/14/2015 @ 4:16 pmConsidering Stephanopolous learned how to lie, cheat, manipulate and steal while at the feet of the master (Bill), he was either not a very good student and didn’t think about this (uh-huh….) or in typical Clinton fashion, believed himself untouchable and above reproach, no matter how dishonestly he behaved. Clearly, he learned well.
But at least we can yet once again say, let’s not hear one more damn word about an unbiased and objective media. No one’s buying the bullshit except those spouting the bullshit.
Dana (86e864) — 5/14/2015 @ 4:31 pmThe late Lawrence Auster wrote about how the GOP debates always had liberal panelists asking exclusively liberal-slanted questions. And the Republican presidential candidates went along with this like sheep to slaughter.

mg (31009b) — 5/14/2015 @ 4:35 pmvince foster
According to The Hill, The Donald and his daughter Ivanka contributed to the foundation also. Interestingly, their names are prominently listed on the Clinton Foundation website. I imagine other prominent names will surface to help cloud the issue. Considering the “friendship” between their families and the several joint efforts of ex-presidents George H W Bush and William J Clinton, I wonder if any Bushes will show up in the donation records.

Steve57 (e468ba) — 5/14/2015 @ 7:57 pmI doubt Jonathon Chait has enough cash to be interesting to the Clintons. In that way.
Steve57 (e468ba) — 5/14/2015 @ 8:08 pmit was mentioned in another blog, along with Hillary Rosen and Trump, i’ll check again.
narciso (ee1f88) — 5/14/2015 @ 8:16 pmQuestion. Was there any doubt Steph. was shilling for the Clintons from the day he was hired by ABC? And that ABC had every reason to think he would be a shill?
OT.
While waiting for my connecting flight in Charlotte, I found myself listening in to a guy on a cell phone. Turns out he was an ATF agent (or else FBI working with ATF) working arson cases, and much of the conversation turned on a current case. It seems they are working up a case against two white men who decided the rioting in Baltimore was a golden opportunity to burn down one of the businesses there. Apparently it was meant to harm the owner, and not someone trying to get away with insurance fraud. So at least one of those fires we saw in Baltimore was not set by the rioters.
Amazing how people will talk on a cell phone as if no one can overhear them.
BTW, being a Fed, he made sure he was the first passenger to board. Even before the disabled passengers.
kishnevi (91d5c6) — 5/14/2015 @ 8:30 pmwell there was 25 million, and 300 businesses affected, any motivation as to why they wanted to harm the owner,

It looks better in in the full bloom of all it’s expansive glory. The guy I bought it from wrapped it around basically a long version of a paper towel tube to send it to me. And used a lot of tape. I tried to be careful.
It’s what passes for art in Casa de Steve57.
Steve57 (e468ba) — 5/14/2015 @ 9:19 pmwhere did you find that landscape battle scene,
narciso (ee1f88) — 5/14/2015 @ 9:23 pmI don’t really remember. I bought it years ago, and I felt like crap when I tried to unwrap it and I ripped it. So it’s been sitting on my shelf for years. I finally talked to an art restorer and discovered I can fix it.
Steve57 (e468ba) — 5/14/2015 @ 9:35 pmMe, too, Ag80.
DRJ (e80d46) — 5/14/2015 @ 9:45 pmOk, the print is “Union Fleet Passing Vicksburg” by Tom Lovell.

That cruiser was lunch for a German or Japanese sub. To recover the plane, she had to turn and stop.
Which was like announcing a death wish.

Random Numbers (2f898a) — 5/15/2015 @ 5:40 pmIf I cared passionately about deforestation, I’d give my money a group that spent over 85% of their donations on deforestation rather than on a foundation that spends 15% on deforestation and the rest on the Clintons.
Of course the Clintons will hide behind the raising of “awareness” of deforestation.
I’m wondering when Bill’s efforts towards deflowering reach the proportion of deforestation… normally I wouldn’t care what consenting adults do, but these Clintons are such liars about money, sex and power and their facilitators like Stephanopolous are worse.
