Not content to have violated almost every campaign finance law on the books in their 1992 and 1996 runs for the whitehouse, as well as the PIAPS' 2000 and 2006 runs for the senate. Now they are doing some 'creative' fundraising in Ireland, to enable Hillary to squeeze her fat thighs back through the front door of the white house in 2008:
Former US president Bill Clinton will help raise up to$300,000 for his wife’s presidential election campaign when he addresses a fundraising dinner in Dublin this Saturday.The event, organised by the ‘Irish America for Hillary’ group, will take place in the Ballsbridge home of Dublin barrister Brian Farren and his wife Linda O’Shea-Farren. Between 120 and 150 people are expected to attend.Under US election rules, because the event is being held outside the US, it must be financially supported by American citizens or green card holders, and can only be held in the home of someone who holds a green card or is a US citizen.A large number of Americans living in Ireland have paid around $2,000 per person to invite guests. The guest list remains a closely guarded secret, but includes a range of Irish business people, public figures and Americans based here. O’Shea-Farren is from Limerick and graduated from University College Cork with a BCL degree in 1981.
Oh really? Do we know for sure that the source of funds are Americans living in Ireland, or are they just 'donating' the money on behalf of Irish donors? It is illegal to accept campaign contributions from foreigners and it is also illegal to give or accept campaign contributions made by one person on behalf of another person.
The problem is, the Clintons have gotten away with these multiple violations of the law so many times, they feel quite confident about breaking the law again. There is no one in Washington who has the guts to stand up against these scumbags. They have no business being in public office whatsoever.
