Related: About this forumDNC Opens The Gates To Unlimited Wall Street Funding to the Hillary Victory Fund.
http://usuncut.com/news/the-dnc-opens-the-gates-to-unlimited-wall-street-funding/The Democratic National Committee, headed by the massively unpopular Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has just lifted the last restrictions preventing the DNC from receiving direct contributions from Wall Street and special interest lobbyists.
Under the new rules, political action committees (PACs) and other corporate lobbyists and special interests are now free to donate unlimited sums to the DNC itself. The previous restrictions were put in place by President Barack Obama after his own election, which he marked by saying, We are going to change how Washington works.
He continued by affirming that corporate PACs will not fund my party. They will not run our White House. And they will not drown out the voice of the American people when Im president of the United States of America.

Robert Reich, who was Bill Clintons Secretary of Labor and is a harsh critic of Wall Street and vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders, was aghast at the DNCs decision, posting a scathing Facebook post in which he accuses the DNC of being a siphon for more corruption.

Democratic Party as long as Clinton has and is doing his part, most fairly.

What it amounts to, is that Hillary has raised 15 mil for herself and 5 mil for down-ticket Democrats, while Bernie has raised 20 mil for himself and 0 for down-ticket Democrats.
