The "first lady" of New York claimed Bernie has zero evidence that all the millions the Clintons' have got from Wall Street (scum) influenced Hillary's votes.
Sure lady. That's all there is to it right?
Just like the fact that Obama got millions, and millions, and millions, and millions from Wall Street banksters. He then didn't prosecute any of the bankster pigs after they knowingly committed felony, after felony, after felony, after felony. They then committed more and more and more felonies. It's what they do.
We are not stupid.
Chirlane, if you think we believe the money politicians (including Clintons) get from the filthy rich doesn't influence their behavior, you need to see a f-king doctor. You have gone off the deep end.

Welcome to Amerika.
If Hillary has the new Attorney General prosecute financial crimes, how will she get money for her re-election?
Do the math.

(1,400 posts)The big dogs are above prosecution, and you know it.
Even a couple soldiers at Abu Gharib had to be prosecuted, even though Rumsfeld knew the torture was going on for months.
They always have to "appear" to be doing something.

(7,286 posts)I showed where he has prosecuted some of them and you say that's not enough. I agree its not enough but he has charged some of them and to say he has not is incorrect.

(1,400 posts)Obama didn't prosecute the big dogs.
That was my point.
Some underlings usually pay so the ring leaders can always get away.
Some are simply thieves too.
I don't really blame Obama by the way. If he went after the big dogs, every single politician in D.C. besides Bernie, and Elizabeth Warren would be protecting them.
He did take the money though, and I truly believe it played a part in their not being prosecuted.
You can believe anything you want.
Have a great evening.

(7,286 posts)I believe in things that have evidence, facts. The fact is you said this" He then didn't prosecute any of the bankster pigs after they knowingly committed felony, after felony, after felony, after felony. " and it is simply not true, I showed where its not true. As for President Obama not prosecuting the big dog bankers, I have seen no facts that any donation was involved in that, is it possible, sure, but that doesn't make it true so its something I can not say as the truth. Could there be other reasons? sure, that is also possible. I don't claim things that are not true and neither should anyone else.
You have a great evening also, I am interested to see what happens tonight re primaries. I think Clinton will barely win and that Sanders will continue with his momentum. What I would "like" is for a Sanders upset that will rock the Democratic party and move us further to the left.

(1,400 posts)Is that proof?
Because if true, it is actually a crime.
But who cares right?
Only us little shits have to worry about being prosecuted right?

(5,737 posts)You guys have no clue what people are doing when they are paid to speak to groups. Various groups will pay for well known people to come to speak at large meetings. They choose those speakers based upon their life experiences. The more likely those life experiences are exceedingly high, the higher the speaking fees. I have heard dozens of paid well-known speakers over the years and not the first one spoke about the group they were speaking too or their business. Those speakers have ranged from Sally Ride to even Oliver North. It is not my fault that Bernie does not fit the criteria for life experiences to elicit an invite as a paid speaker to any event.
Oh, and you are stupid if you think Obama has received millions, and millions, and millions from Wall Street bankers.
Finally, no, I have not gone off the deep end. I'm barely up to may ankles. You and your kind however, are in way over your heads and drowning.
