Now There's a North Korean Connection to the Clintons

ABC News reported earlier today that while Hillary was Secretary of State, Bill Clinton asked permission from the State Department to give a high paid speech at a meeting in Africa for the leader of the Democratic Republic of Congo (whose leader is a tyrannical dictator with one of the worst human rights records around the globe) and another high paid speech for the North Korean leadership.  When the African request was denied, the request was renewed with the caveat that all proceeds would go to the Clinton Foundation.  That too was denied.  The request for North Korea was also denied, so Bill's representative told the State Department that Hillary's brother had arranged for it to take place.

Neither speech went ahead, but the two requests show that Bill was prepared to do just about anything for a buck, or three quarters of a million bucks as the case may be.  The second request also show how Hillary's brother was in on the gravy train of profiting from Hillary's position as Secretary of State.

This afternoon, Hillary started to take questions at the DNC meeting in Minnesota.  When she got a question about the North Korea story, she got angry and ended the press conference.  At the moment, people think Hillary is a liar who does not care about the needs of people like them.  Being angry and unlikeable is not going to help much in that regard.  If she keeps going at this rate, Hillary will not only be denied the nomination, but she will also lose whatever positive reputation she still has.  (In other words -- and this will really matter to her -- by 2017, the fee for one of her speeches will most likely be in the area of five hundred dollars instead of $250,000.
