New Hillary Clinton Email Disclosure Dominates Morning TV

Yesterday, the State Department released 3,000 emails from Hillary Clinton’s private sever.

The New York Times Michael Schmidt reported that the State Department had to go back and classify about two dozen of Clinton’s emails, despite claims that the former-sectary hadn’t sent any emails that would be considered sensitive.

More troubling are the reports that long time Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal played a much grater role then previously believed.

What’s Behind Clinton’s Secret Meeting With Labor Leaders?

Politico is reporting that Hillary Clinton is meeting privately with labor leaders in DC in a couple weeks.

What will the meeting entail? Who knows! It’s secret.

In recent weeks, Clinton has had run-ins with labor leaders over her positions—or lack thereof—on trade and the minimum wage. Clinton has refused to endorse President Obama’s Pacific trade deal, despite advocating for it as Secretary of State. And on the minimum wage, Clinton has endorsed the efforts of those fighting for the $15 minimum wage, but not the $15 minimum wage itself.

Is Clinton using her secret meeting with labor leaders to finally reveal her secret positions? Or maybe using the meeting to firm up their support before publicly advocating for their issues?

The Sad Love Triangle That Is The Clinton-Warren-Sanders Relationship

Hillary loves Liz. Liz loves Bernie. No one loves Hillary.

Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton penned a love letter to Elizabeth Warren in TIME Magazine’s “Top 100 Leaders” issue. Clinton laid it on thick, saying Warren “fights so hard for others to share in the American Dream because she lived it herself.”

Warren, given many, many opportunities to return the favor, has never done so. Last fall when she was asked if Clinton was her Party’s “best choice” for president, Warren dodged.

And when asked if she differs with Clinton on key issues, Warren said Clinton needed to clarify her position on trade.

But when asked about Clinton rival Bernie Sanders, Warren gushed.

Clinton Fundraising At $8.75 Million NYC Apartment

This evening, Hillary Clinton will continue her nationwide fundraising tour by visiting the SoHo loft of Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes and Sean Eldridge, who recently said he won’t be running for Congress again after losing his 2014 congressional race by 30 percentage points.

Hughes and Eldridge recently put their 4,100 square foot, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom apartment on the market for $8.75 million. It is unclear whether the listing price, which covers the apartment’s library, “dressing area,” and wine cellar, will also include the many high-priced decorations, including the $2,500 binoculars.

What is clear is that while Clinton continues to claim she is on the side of “everyday Americans,” she is spending an awful lot of time with mega-donors like Eldridge and Hughes, who abhorred the campaign trail because he “didn’t personally like going to the house parties and the rubber-chicken dinners that he was subjected to.”

“Dead Broke” Bill Clinton Makes Quick Shopping Trip To Paris

People magazine reports that Bill Clinton needed to get in some “retail therapy” at Hermes in Paris recently. According to People, Clinton arrived in a “five-car convoy” at the store that “sells ties for about $225; a leather belt can set you back nearly $1,000.” The store shut down the third floor so Clinton could get in some quality shopping time.

It seems American taxpayers were along for the ride as well, paying nearly $9,000 for the cars in which Clinton was driven around. If only we taxpayers could get a nice belt as well.

With this expensive shopping trip, and Bill Clinton being thelargest individual purchaser of some high-priced watches, seems the “dead broke” Clintons are doing just fine.

Does Clinton Back Cuomo’s Executive Minimum Wage Decree?

Today in New York, Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo’s“Fast Food Wage Board” will be meeting to discuss raising the minimum wage for fast food workers, beginning the process for Cuomo to declare a minimum wage increase by executive action while bypassing the State Assembly. This is all to appease the so-called “Fight For $15” movement being pushed by the SEIU and major liberal donors at the secretive Democracy Alliance.

Hillary Clinton recently supported the “Fight For $15” effort, saying she supports the movement. However, in her continuing effort at incertitude, Clinton oddly did notendorse a $15 minimum wage.

Oddly enough, while Clinton is hesitant to make clear her stance on the $15 wage, the Clinton Foundation has no qualms in taking money from some of the very companies the “Fight For $15” movement has protested:

So another day, another issue that raises Hillary Clinton’s hypocritical policy issue stances. New York is set to meet on the issue at the same time, Hillary Clinton tries to take a firm stance that doesn’t expose her hypocrisy.

Did Hillary Clinton Endorse Fight For $15 For Donor Money?

Earlier this month, Hillary Clinton endorsed the Fight for $15 movement but, strangely, did not endorse a $15 minimum wage, leaving many puzzled by her actions. Now, it turns out that the major backer of the Fight for $15 Movement is supported by the Democracy Alliance, a network of major liberal donors. As POLITICO reports this morning from documents they obtained, the SEIU is now listed as a Democracy Alliance (DA) Partner.
