I wasn't making an argument as much as just asking a question....one I still haven't heard an answer to. But I'll respond by saying that it seems to me that what is implicit in your response, i.e. a need to monitor if these contributions have an influence on Hillary, is an assumption that some kind of wrongdoing will be uncovered. All the commentary on this seems to be starting from a premise of assumed guilt.


You are seriously confused about my post. My comment was about monitoring any possibility of wrong doing. There is no presumption of guilt in that statement. I dont think that politicians are presumed guilty when they release their tax returns and I dont think that is the case here either.

As for the rest of your rant, thanks for the info about the $1 million plus donors. I would like to see that threshold lowered substantially but at least there is some info available.

After the Hsu affair, outsiders can assume that all kinds of things are possible if they aren't scrutinized. Hillary did not "vet" very well in that case.

Let's keep a level playing field if we are going to delve into everyone's associations in minute detail.
