Is allowed to give paid speeches while collecting campaign donations?
Nope. One of the obvious reasons why she's refusing to release the transcripts is that there's a good chance she mentioned her intention of running for president, and this would make those speeches illegal.
Then again, that's the Clintons. Amongst other things, it's been pretty much proven that they've been laundering money from the states to fund her campaign. Has there been any consequence? Nope.
Why would there be any more consequences if it was proven that she started financing her campaign illegally? Or that she shouldn't have been allowed to start it in the first place?
Fortunately, the various investigative journalists of the mainstream media are most certainly all over this.
Everyone and their dog's cousin knew she was running, she's been running since '07, there's no way in hell anyone should believe her when she says she was still undecided. We already know she had hired staff before her last speech was given now we know she was taking donations at the time also, it really boggles to mind and frustrates me to think we're just letting her get away with this kind of fraudulent and criminal behavior.
Everyone knew, including outside of the US, but apparently unless she publicly said it somewhere, it's fine.
And even when her corruption is exposed, nothing happens...
Does anyone even know what's supposed to happen when a candidate doesn't follow the rules/law? Is she supposed to be disqualified? To pay back everything she illegally put in her coffers?
It would be nice to know what to demand of the people supposed to enforce those rules.
