Think about it. We’ve gone months without a scandal with Clinton fingerprints on it. The campaign donation bundling withstood the customary denials. This one may not.
An upstate New York developer donated $100,000 to former President Bill Clinton’s foundation in November 2004, around the same time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the businessman’s mall project.
Mrs. Clinton helped enact legislation allowing the developer, Robert J. Congel, to use tax-exempt bonds to help finance the construction of the Destiny USA entertainment and shopping complex, an expansion of the Carousel Center in Syracuse.
Mrs. Clinton also helped secure a provision in a highway bill that set aside $5 million for Destiny USA roadway construction.
This does stink of quid pro quo, there are no phantom hands involved, and no one has left the country. Let’s see who looks the other way this time….
Will Obama’s cabinet be able to outdo Clinton’s in the arena of corruption? Stay tuned!
