Clintons continue to take $ from HSBC after exposure for drug cartel laundering

Following her NH defeat, Hillary talked tough about HSBC and called their laundering of money for drug cartels "shocking," yet even after finding out HSBC was laundering cartel cash, the Clintons continued taking their money anyway.

TYT had an excellent report about it today:



For good measure, here's one of many stories about HSBC laundering drug cartel money, from 2012: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/outrageous-hsbc-settlement-proves-the-drug-war-is-a-joke-20121213

In 2014, the Clintons accepted half a million dollars from HSBC, and Hillary wonders why people doubt her sincerity on the issue of banking reform. As for me, I'm left to wonder how much of that half mil was cartel blood money.

"How does HRC deal with the banks? Holding out her hand and saying "Gimme, gimme, gimme."

And that expression on Bill's face, along with his hand gesture? That should be his official portrait in the past presidents' gallery in the White House. It conveys the sentiment: "Impeach me, would you? Well grifting well is the best revenge, & here I sit with my tens of millions in personal wealth!"
