It's not like it's really her money - she's just a pass thru conduit from Chinese industrialists.

Feeling sorry for anything the Clintons do in politics is like feeling sorry for a pig that complains about having its feet in muck while rooting in the slop trough.

I chuckle at the notion of Hillary loaning money to her campaign. We all know it's Bill that financing this.

I'm not sure about the exact numbers, but given the "rise in fortunes" for the Clintons since Bubba left office, this is less than a years worth of income, assuming a total write off. Of course, their future earning potential may not be as high. Just as an aside, why aren't the democrats talking about a special "windfall profits tax" on the Clintons like they are for the oil companies. Surely profits for politicians should belong to the people more than profits for private companies.

Ya know, this brings to mind one possible reason Hillary Clinton is still in the race. when she leaves the race her ability to take in donations is limited, and thereby a means to minimize her financial losses.

She could recoup that much in a single book deal, which she probably will.

remember the wording, kids, in the most recent influcx of cash from Hillary Clinton to her Capmpaign... they call it a 'loan'.

The called it a loan when Romney did it too, they always call it a loan.

She's obviously figuring on being paid back from the incoming campaign funds.

And no, I wouldn't put it past her.
