In a USA Today column, Carolyn Osorio blasts the Clinton campaign’s practice of not paying staff or interns. Osorio isn’t anti-Hillary – she’s probably one of Clinton’s biggest fans. She says she “slept in a Hillary for President T-shirt for most of 2007, cried when she conceded to Barack Obama, railed at Congress during the Benghazi hearings and was an early follower of Texts from Hillary.”

“For a woman whom I supported to demand this of me felt repulsive. Forget arguments about raising the minimum wage. I can’t even get a wage.”

Keep in mind:

– Bill and Hillary Clinton made $30 million between January 2014 and May 2015, mostly in paid speeches to places like universities.

– The Clinton campaign is a $2.5 BILLION dollar endeavor.

– Hillary Clinton thought having 2 mansions was the same as being “dead broke.”

– While Clinton’s staff work in Brooklyn, she keeps to Manhattan.

But expecting an unpaid staffer to move to another state and work full time for free? No big deal.

Over the weekend, the Washington Examiner highlighted a State Department Inspector General report that found then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Chief of Staff, Cheryl Mills, “played a role in covering up allegations that an ambassador had solicited prostitutes on the job.” Initially the executive summary of the report, which was made public in October 2014, downplayed Mills’ role in the investigation into Belgian Ambassador Howard Gutman’s actions. The full report however, obtained by America Rising through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, found Mills played a much bigger role. The Washington Examinerreports:

Last week, The New York Times wrote about the biggest issue facing the Clinton campaign this summer: where should Hillary Clinton and family go on their summer vacation?

If The Clintons Want To Stick With The Usual

If The Clintons Decide To Splurge Before A Long Campaign

This morning The New York Times reported that Clinton’s campaign was going to show their strength by drawing a larger crowd than Bernie Sanders:

Yet Mr. Sanders has drawn the largest crowds of any candidate so far, though Mrs. Clinton is looking to surpass him with a major rally here at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Sunday.

Well, they failed. According to their own campaign, Clinton drew just 600 people in Des Moines:

At her campaign reset today, Hillary Clinton touted her work allegedly “standing up” to Russian President Vladimir Putin, turning her first campaign announcement into something more like a standup routine.

CLINTON: “I stood up to adversaries like Putin and reinforced allies like Israel, and I was in the situation room on the day that we got bin laden. But I know, I know we have to be smart as well as strong.”

After Clinton came up with the idea of the Russia Reset, Russia turned around and combatted American foreign policy at every turn.

Today, Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a new biographical video to re-introduce a candidate who has been in public life for three decades. In the video, Clintonsays of her 1995 Beijing speech:

“Many people in our own government, our Congress, did not want me to go to Beijing, but you don’t shy away from confronting human rights abuses.”

Somebody should alert candidate Hillary Clinton to the actions of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who said human rights “can’t interfere” with economic issues when “we pretty much know what” the Chinese government will say:

CLINTON: Now, that doesn’t mean that questions of Taiwan and Tibet and human rights, the whole range of challenges that we often engage on with the Chinese are not part of the agenda either. But we pretty much know what they’re going to say. We know that we’re going to press them to reconsider their position about Tibetan religious and cultural freedom, and autonomy for the Tibetans and some kind of recognition or acknowledgment of the Dalai Lama.

And we know what they’re going to say, because I’ve had those conversations for more than a decade with Chinese leaders. And we know what they’re going to say about Taiwan and military sales, and they know what we’re going to say.

QUESTION: So can’t you just stipulate that at the beginning?

CLINTON: Well, I mean Matt, there’s a certain – I mean, look, there’s a certain logic to that. I mean no – I don’t mean to in any way to say that we know everything that’s going to happen. But successive administrations and Chinese governments have been poised back and forth on these issues, and we have to continue to press them. But our pressing on those issues can’t interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis, and the security crisis. We have to have a dialogue that leads to an understanding and cooperation on each of those.

And someone should notify the Clinton Foundation, which has a donor list full of regimes with brutal human rights records:

Instead, as Mrs. Clinton commemorates her 1995 women’s rights speech in Beijing in back-to-back events in New York, she finds herself under attack for her family foundation’s acceptance of millions of dollars in donations from Middle Eastern countries known for violence against women and for denying them many basic freedoms.

This was not how she intended to reintroduce herself to American voters.

As Clinton prepares for her campaign launch reset, voters from states she recently visited don’t have very good things to say about her. Check out America Rising’s new interactive graphic with quotes from voters who don’t think Clinton is doing so great.

Today, at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting, Bill Clinton reiterated that he has only sent two emails in his life because he didn’t want to be one of those people sending “embarrassing stuff on email.”

This completely contradicts Hillary Clinton’s claims from March of this year that her private email server contained “personal communications from my husband and me.”

A year ago today, Hillary Clinton released her memoir Hard Choices. The day of the book’s release, Time declared: “Hillary Clinton avoids hard choices in Hard Choices.” Despite claiming in October 2014 that “it should be disqualifying” for a candidate to not answer questions, here are the hard choices Clinton still refuses to make:

• Clinton has walked back her past support for the Trans Pacific Partnership and is now “watching closely”
• Clinton gave only cautious support to the Iran deal whileflip-flopping on Iranian nuclear enrichment
• Clinton has continued to avoid taking a position on theKeystone XL pipeline while her foundation continue to accept money from its biggest supporter
• Clinton has decided not to talk about her foreign policyrecord
• Clinton has been criticized for not taking a position onbreaking up the Wall Street banks
• Clinton still has yet to take a position on the medical devicetax
• Clinton has avoided taking questions from the press

One year ago today Hillary Clinton said her family left the White House “dead broke” and that they “struggled … to piece together the resources for mortgages for houses.”

By “houses” she meant two multi-million dollar mansions. They were far from “dead broke.” Politifact rated it “mostly false.”

Fun facts:

The Clintons’ income between 2001 and 2012 was at least $136.5 million.

They are not just in the top 1% of wealth – but likely the top 0.1%!

Since then, the Clintons can’t help themselves when it comes to saying the most out of touch things. Bill and Hillary Clinton each collect hundreds of thousands of dollars every time they give a speech. When asked about it, Bill Clinton said “I gotta pay our bills.”
