Jan 2020

A) How exactly was she going to make $50M that Sec. Clinton prevented her from making?

B) Is she actually insane enough to sue over money that, at best, would be suspect? Call the cops and tell them someone stole your drugs and see how that goes.

C) Does she understand that she basically has NO public credit left, and that this might be putting the last nail in the coffin of her political career?
