It seems Hillary Clinton’s campaign is short of money, and while it seems to me that they could tighten up with the $6,000 a night at the Bellagio and the tremendous steak and lobster dinners, she was found out to have taken 5 million of her own money and put it to her campaign.
Which had people asking, “Where did that money come from?”
The Clintons have made some disclosures, which reveal only broad ranges of assets, place her and former President Clinton’s wealth between $10 million to $50 million.
I really like how Obama handled the issue:
Asked whether he would call on the Clintons to release their tax returns, Obama stopped short of saying they should.
“I’ll just say that I’ve released my tax returns. That’s been a policy I’ve maintained consistently. I think the American people deserve to know where you get your income from. But I’ll leave it up to you guys to chase it down,” he told reporters.
Will they? Will they chase the Clintons down?
No, they probably won’t. Although I doubt that there’s anything illegal about where their money came from it should still be disclosed. Then the questions would go away.
