Hillary Clinton "REALLY dicey" bribery laws and political donations...from her own campaign!

So this is an interesting one I have not seen on here yet...

Her own team is discussing certain stances they should take and well...here is the conversation:

Neera – so it seems like the ideas that really have currency are the following:

· Increase government’s public reporting so voters know what goverment is doing and how money is being spent. 66% of soft partisans think this would be very effective in making government more accountable.

· Strengthen bribery laws to ensure that politicians don’ change legislation for political donations. 62%

· Require full public reporting in government purchases or contracts, create stricter penalties for contractors who violate agreements. 61%

· Strictly limit the amount of money that lobbyists and their clients can contribute. 60%

· Require any organization that spends money on election ads to disclose its major donors. 60%

The first and third are easy enough, although I wonder how much we’ll break through with them.

We have already embraced the fifth.

The fourth idea seems challenging – who counts as “clients”? Would we limit the funds given by people working for companies that lobby more than those who don’t? Not sure how that would work.

The second idea is a favorite of mine, as you know, but REALLY dicey territory for HRC, right?

So her own campaign is saying that she HAS changed legislation for political donations if I am not mistaken here. There is just so much going on with these leaks I have had to take some time away.....literally making my head spin.

Of course she has. Everyone outside her campaign knows it so I am sure those in the loop do too.

Hoping that more comes out on the Moroccan connection and possibly others as well....wiki seems to have a pretty good release structure in place. Looking forward to O'Keefes release tomorrow as well.
