At this point, there are literally too many money-related Clinton family scandals to name. But perhaps it is the latest one–the revelations that Bill and Hillary Clinton failed to disclose a secret shell company that Bill used to funnel consulting fees–is now being viewed, according to NBC, as a problem that might “get in the way” of Hillary Clinton’s “populist message.”
What’s interesting is that NBC’s reporting of the Clinton money problems completes the iron triangle of death for Hillary’s young presidential campaign.The Clintons’ hidden-hand, money grubbing ways have also caught the ire of presidential candidate and Vermont socialist senator Bernie Sanders.
“When you hustle money like that, you don’t sit in restaurants like this. You sit in restaurants where you spend—I don’t know what they spend—hundreds of dollars for dinner and so forth. That’s the world that you are accustomed to. And that’s the worldview that you adopt,” Sanders said in an CNBC interview released Tuesday.
And, of course, the GOP is hammering Hillary over her flood of scandals.
“The revelation that the Clintons had a secret shell company that went unreported on Hillary Clinton’s financial disclosures further demonstrates they are not giving voters the full picture of their wealth,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement Tuesday. “Clearly, there’s a lot that they don’t want voters to see.”
It’s easy to downplay the odds that allegations of corruption and pay-to-play could damage Hillary Clinton’s presidential chances. It’s worked so far for Clinton Camp.But when the media, liberal Democrats, and conservatives are all criticizing the Clintons; you know the crap is really hitting the fan.
