Thank you for the heads-up, grasswire.

The nation's press corpse is corrupt. People like Capehart get ahead. People like Gary Webb get destroyed.

long random lists of people who knew someone who died who knew a boyfriend of someone who happened to know Clinton, and then decide there is a yuuuge conspiracy and Clinton killed the person?

But his boyfriend is Nick Schmit. Here is a page listing all the positions he has had with the Clintons.

And here he is with Capehart in their home:



Thanks for calling me out though, it got me off my lazy ass to go get the proof and bring back out again.

is owned by Mort Zuckerman, who has reportedly given five-figure donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Here's a nice blurb from the New York Times:

Many of Mrs. Clinton’s most devoted backers, including the Washington lobbyist Liz Robbins and Alan Patricof, a New York-based investor, have homes in the Hamptons and have hosted fund-raisers for the Clintons’ various charitable and political causes in the past.

The hyperkinetic Clintons tend to work on their vacations, squeezing in fund-raisers for the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation. In 2013, Mr. Patricof hosted a high-dollar gala at the Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton. Guests included Mortimer B. Zuckerman, the publisher of The Daily News, and the real estate executive Peter S. Kalikow, who each donated $25,000.

---------
Zuckerman, it seems, is a long-time pal of the Clintons.

She was from The Guardian

Well, did you notice as she was applying her Sanders smear, she keep looking at the Capehart hyena next to her? Looked like she was trying to get him to help co-sign on her smear. Seemed like every time she barked, she tried to make eye contact with grand the hyena. Did I do good grand hyena?

If Matthews was really the grand pundit he thinks he is then he would have grilled all three with counter arguments but especially the grand hyena and his cohort from The Guardian.

Fuck MSNBCon.

lies about the Danny Lyon photos, he smeared Lyon, smeared Sanders and he did all of that on Capehart's cue, Matthews played the dancing bear as Jon told his mendacious and fictional narrative. Chris is not a professional. I tuned in yesterday saw he's still doing the rumors and gossip thing and switched to a rerun of Parks and Rec.
