The Clinton Campaign's fault in bailing out the DNC, was their judgment in that there was incompetence because of the empty treasury. There were highly qualified people within the DNC still very willing to run a strong campaign.
The Clinton Campaign measured success in dollars and not people.
Donna Brazile as right in every way in writing her book, "Hacks: The Inside Story." Everyone sincerely interested in the sovereignty of the USA needs to read it.
The political process needs to be protected in the USA and the Supreme Court does not see that for the vision of big dollar donors. The idea money is a citizen is pure idiocy. The dollar is the currency of the USA and it has status, but, the Supreme Court incompetently gave it rights.
"What happens when the super rich write the rules? They fail." (click here)
Just to examine the USA Supreme Court's "money citizen." Has any American political process been handed over to a single power? The country defines itself as a democracy with a free election process that requires the voice of the people is heard. Why would the USA Supreme Court hand over the entire election process to one citizen, money?
The 2008 global economic collapse should have jailed many capitalists on Wall Street. That didn't happen because the citizen responsible for all the corruption and collapse was an American citizen called money.
The banks responsible for the economic collapse lived in the USA and they paid money to the government rather than serving time.
The Paradise Papers, the internal documents of a Bermuda law firm, reveal a problem far more pernicious than the unethical conduct by tens of thousands of wealthy individuals around the world.
Humans will always have to cope with personal dishonesty. What the Paradise Papers show is how dishonesty is being promoted on a mass scale and how corruption is being institutionalized. The 13.4m files show that what are supposed to be windows of disclosure into the finances of high officials are easily covered with blinds made by piecing together business laws from multiple jurisdictions.
As the super-rich increasingly hold the reins of governments in the US and other countries, the rules to make sure they act with integrity and in the public interest fail. That’s because the rules were written to guard against petty corruption among people of little to no wealth....
This is the beautiful part. Ross, no different than Trump, states he is not the majority shareholder in "Navigator Holdings" or the "Trump Organization." Ross ONLY OWNS $10 million in shares in the company. But, get this, Ross DOES HAVE a controlling interest in his PRIVATE equity firm that in turn holds a one third interest in the shipping company. So, Ross can control "Navigator Holdings" through the one-third ownership of his PRIVATE equity firm.
It is all slight of hand and when finally investigated, as Commerce Secretary, Ross is a very powerful one man STEERING COMMITTEE to benefit his known investments through his PRIVATE equity firm.
...Wilbur Ross, Trump’s commerce secretary, is revealed in the Paradise Papers to do business with the family of Vladimir Putin.
This is astonishing given the insistence by Trump and his administration that only “fake news” connects his administration, his campaign and him personally to the Kremlin, which clearly sought to influence the 2016 presidential election on Trump’s behalf.
Ross defends his investment in the shipping company Navigator Holdings by noting he is not the majority shareholder. True, but misleading. Ross was in control before becoming commerce secretary, his private equity firm still owns nearly a third of the company and his personal financial disclosure shows he owns a stake worth up to $10m....
...Ross is involved with 50 Cayman Islands companies and partnerships administered by Appleby,...
...the Appleby files, like those from Mossack Fonseca, make clear that plenty of dubious and probably illegal conduct was taking place...
Appleby is located in Bermuda. Bermuda is a territory of the UK. When 2008 landed in it's collapse, Libor (click here) was completely corrupted and out of control. It took some time to indict those most corrupt at Barclays. This is no joke. The USA's right wing does not practice law as thinkers, so much as processers. When British corruption meets up with the USA right wing, there is a sincere danger for the people and their democracies on both continents. Can we please dismiss money as an entity with rights, so much as in service to the people? Democracy needs to be recalled to bring economic stability. Democracy needs to be the winner over money. The only thing money brings to the democratic process is greed. Allies need to demand sanity return to the USA and legislate money is on a citizen. USA LEGISLATION is needed to put money in it's place.
