Tin Foil hat Theory: Was there a great bargain for 2008?

This is not my theory NOR is it my wife's theory. My wife's friend sent an e-mail to my wife stating. Hillary will be the nominee because of the bargain that was made back in 2008.

My wife's friend was basically telling her forget Bernie and get behind Hillary. My wife's friend is a Hillary supporter and is eager to work for the campaign. When the meeting took place my wife's friend stated they made a deal that he would the first 8 years than she would get the next 8.

Anyone watch CNN earlier today?

My wife got stuck watching it in a waiting room and there was CNN hyping up the possible Mosby bias --lives in the community, cousin accidently shot--thinking he was a drug dealer, the campaign contrbutions.


Then they started talking about how she "rush the charges" and how there TOO many charges. That she was over reaching and the charge were bought to soon. That she didn't get all the evidence from the police investigation.



It feels like the media is trying to cause a train wreck in justice.

WATCH: Fox News Claims Freddie Gray Worked For Police, Arrest Was All An Act (VIDEO)

http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/videos/watch-fox-news-claims-freddie-gray-worked-for-police-arrest-was-all-an-act-video/



This is truly journalism gone horribly wrong. Fox News, with nothing at all to corroborate, invited an anonymous source to tell a story about Freddie Gray that if true would possibly exonerate the officers involved in his death.

The source, who speaks through a voice-scrambler and appears in a blacked out studio, is identified only as “Mike.” He is apparently a police officer, and he tells Meghan Kelly that Gray was “a great witness for us.”

The issue with the interview from any reasonable standpoint is that the witness, who says he spoke with two of the officers since the incident, claims that Freddie frequently “put on a show” to get arrested so he could snitch on people, then explains why officers were forced to pursue him, and it was for their own safety because of Freddie’s violent behavior that he wasn’t seatbelted into the van.

Who is Porter Stansberry really?

Yes, I went to Wikipedia and read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porter_Stansberry



But a Winger relative of my wife sent her this as "proof Obama destroyed this country"




http://thecrux.com/dyncontent/going-bankrupt-next-in-america-mf/?cid=MKT015071&eid=MKT025175


No one believed Porter Stansberry seven years ago.

As head of one of America’s largest independent financial research firms, Mr. Stansberry’s work back in 2008 led him to a bold, but worrisome, conclusion:

That the world’s largest mortgage bankers–Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which at the time were responsible for nearly 50% of all the mortgages in America–would soon go bankrupt.
