Sure, folks could never quite come up with an instance where Secretary Clinton gave preferential treatment to a donor, but those questions, they lingered didn't they? The clouds continued to gather even if they never quite paid off with a storm.

But President Trump? Not a word. Nobody sees nothin' and if someone gets a little taste, well, that's just business (with your tax dollars, but never mind that).

dt is raking it in or has raked it in; this is payback. I hope/wish it's illegal and someone calls him on it, or something, finally.

but it turns out they were half closed. What the hell has to happen before this piece of garbage (tRump) is removed from office and his administration is dismantled. There are supposed to be checks and balances - where the HELL are they? All tRump has done in his first 90 days is funnel money into his own pocket in the form of inaugural donations, lunches at his restaurant/hotels, and US taxpayers money for his weekend trips. I am just so effing pissed!

They stopped promoting Trump's "accomplishments" and are focusing on retreading attacks on Obama.

The couple she listed is major player. But there are others on the list of interest. Too many for me to go through but I did a stab at a few of the donors.
