Clinton Cash?

Maybe. Unlike how the media turned a blind eye to everything Barrack Obama, they seem genuinely interested in digging to the bottom of this.

1. The level of favors-for-money Clinton does seems to be pretty high in general. This is not the first time Clinton has done this kind of thing.
2. Several progressive media source I listen to have been complaining about this for years. The progressives hate it. The progressive wing of the Democrat base does not like Clinton for quite a number of reasons (too-corrupt, too-willing to start wars, insufficiently left-wing on economic policies, insufficiently liberal on social policies).
3. This level of corruption is on par with most of the Republican field. While her level of corruption does look pretty high compared to other Democrats, it's not that high compared to most of the Republicans. I'm willing to grant her a certain level of clemency on the issue simply because her political opponents are doing it too: The way the US system is currently structured, the need for money from donors is a sad necessity, and it's simply unpragmatic for one side to try to run without any money from donors when the other side is getting lots.
4. On the plus side, Clinton has openly supported a constitutional amendment for campaign finance reform to get the influence of money out of politics. (Unlike any of the Republican field)

My post didn't express faith in the Democrats. It seems rather strange you got that out of it."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
