Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to accuse President Donald Trump of doing Russia’s bidding, but she has set up a brand new, dirty web of secret money and influence that gives foreigners a direct pipeline to the Democratic Party.
Hillary showed up at Ozy Fest in Central Park last weekend – with dark bags under her eyes, wearing a froppy full-body dress – and claimed that Trump’s helping Russian President Vladimir Putin destroy “our democracy.”
But Hillary may be bluffing because she’s the one building up a secret political influence-peddling racket oiled by donations from overseas.
Her latest move has all the signs that she’s running for office – and taking foreign money all the way.
Hillary decided the only way she could run for president again is to become the face of “The Resistance.” So, she started a new group called “Onward Together” – and the money started rolling in.
“Onward Together, formed in May 2017, is a Clinton 2020 campaign vehicle in waiting,” wrote New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin.
But Hillary had the nerve to dress up her new ATM as a “social welfare” group. Onward Together is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(4) organization.
The New York Times reported that these kind of groups “are often cited for the rise in dark money in politics because of their ability to protect donor anonymity.”
And sure enough, a Hillary spokesperson told CNN that the group plans to keep its donor list under wraps.
“It’s a hog heaven for Clinton — a Christmas, 365 days a year,” wrote Cheryl K. Chumley of The Washington Times. “Dark money, all day, all the time. Hmm, what could go wrong?”
The Clinton dynasty plans to use secret, foreign funds to make its political dreams come true – and it can do it all legally.
IRS regulations let a 501(c)(4) group support or oppose candidates for office and do “an unlimited amount of lobbying,” according to Ballotpedia.
Not only that – registered 501(c)(4) groups can accept foreign donations.
If you go to Onward Together’s website and click its “donate” button, the very first field asks what country the donor lives in.
All the money is supposed to directly impact U.S. politics – in the midterms, and especially if Hillary runs again in 2 years.
Clinton claimed all the proceeds would go to help other leftist groups resist Trump when she announced the roll-out of her group last May:
We're launching Onward Together to encourage people to get involved, organize, and even run for office. https://t.co/8exooosvZ5

“In some cases, we’ll provide direct funding to these organizations,” Hillary wrote in an email to small donors. “For others, we’ll help amplify their work and do what we can to help them continue to grow their audiences and expand their reach.”
But four months later, she still hadn’t done anything… except cash donors’ checks.
“You may not have heard much about the work we’re doing at Onward Together,” Clinton wrote in an e-mail shaking down her supporters for even more cash. “That’s because we’re working behind the scene to fund, support, and amplify the work of the groups we’re supporting. We’re not the story: they are.”
That’s exactly what she said about the Clinton Foundation’s “charity work,” too – that it was so secret because her family didn’t want to hog the limelight.
But her critics say it was a pure scam to let her family skim off-the-top and reward her contributors – and now she’s doing it again.
One of the groups Onward Together was supposed to support – a Trump-hating, Soros-backed organization named Indivisible – said that they hadn’t received a dime four months after Clintons’ group promised to fund them.
Instead of sending them money, it turned out Onward Together was “amplifying” their work by “retweeting” the group’s online messages, an Indivisible spokesperson said. “And they’ve highlighted our work via their emails to their list, too.”
Most of the cash stayed in the pocket of Hillary’s ugly house dress.
Media coverage eventually pressured Hillary to begin funding political organizations like she promised – and they’re all political fronts that could help her if she becomes the Democrats’ presidential candidate in 2020.
Of the 11 groups Onward Together announced it would fund, 4 of them are get-out-the-vote groups: iVote, Swing Left, Latino Victory and Voto Latino.
Onward Together just collected a cool $1 million when she promised to fight Trump’s actions on the Southern border.
Onward Together will help the Democrats during the 2018 midterms and give Hillary a leg up if she decides to run for president… again …in 2020.
Hillary’s accusing Trump of her sins, but in reality, the Clintons are selling out America again for their own benefit.
