Hillary (and Bill?) Loan Her Campaign $6 Million More
May 07, 2008 9:54 AM
The Clinton campaign reports today that in the last month Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, has loaned herself $6.425 million in the last month -- bringing her grand total of "loans" to her campaign $11.425 million, putting on in place to be the second biggest self-funder this election cycle, behind only former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
The loans were:
$5 million on April 11; $1 million on May 1; and $425,000 on May 5.
The dates are significant because she still felt the need to loan herself money even after her impressive win in Pennsylvania on April 22 -- meaning the $10 million she raised in the 24 hours after that win was not enough.
One other point of possible significance.
After her $5 million January loan was disclosed, Clinton said "I loaned the campaign $5 million from my money."
MY money, she said.
"The loan is from Senator Clinton's share of their joint resources," a Clinton spokesman told reporters, clarifying the point even further.
Sen. Clinton earned slightly more than $10 million (including an $8 million advance) for her memoir, Living History.
She has now loaned herself more than that -- $11.425 million -- meaning, presumably, she may now be lending her campaign funds former President Bill Clinton earned.
Their joint assets are their joint assets -- but she's the one who split the hairs on "my money" back in February.
More to the point, this news may give the media more of a reason than ever to inquire as to how the former President has made his money -- something he has been reluctant to discuss.http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/05/hillary-and-b-1.htmlNow, we can get back to this:

Who is financing this Campaign?
Who will a Clinton Presidency be beholden to?
