Clinton's Consigliere Returns to the News

You know of course, that I was an avid conspiracy theorist in the Clinton years of the 90's. Loved 'em. Followed 'em. Ate 'em up.

One of my favorite players in the various Clinton scandals was an extemely shadowy character named Bruce Lindsey. A longtime Clinton friend and advisor. Always there with Bubba, but just out of sight of the cameras. His ever present card playing partner on Air Force One (Hearts, as I recall) and, I always believed, his "fixer" in the scandal department. Bill Clinton's consigliere - the role of adviser made popular in the Godfather movies.

I haven't thought of him since BC left office with his last day scandal of issuing a slew of pardons to unsavory characters. Many probably arranged by Lindsey for the appropriate payments. Just my opinion.

But, he's back. What possible Bill Clinton scandals are still to erupt? Well, two come to mind:

1. Mr. ex-President Clinton has been busy since he left office raking in donations from unsavory characters overseas. Certainly in an improper manner, I believe, for an ex-President. Very probably in an illegal manner, given that Hillary is using joint-checking-account money to fund her campaign. How much money from China and Dubai is Hillary allowed to spend in a presidential election cycle - that would be none. But is she? Hard to tell, because a lot of the money is funnelled through the Clinton Library Foundation - which refused to release it's donor list.

2. Recent requests for Presidential papers related to the pardon scandal have been rebuffed by - guess who - the Clinton Library Foundation, which has refused to releas 1000 of documents that have notes on them as to how the pardon decisions were made. Isn't that nice to have a gatekeeper to shield the ex-President from scrutiny.

Hmmm, the Clinton Library Foundation seems to have become the new scandal central for our intrepid and scandalous ex-President.

And who, if you even need to ask, is the current Director of the Clinton Library Foundation?

That would be the re-emergent fixer, Mr. Bruce Lindsey. Hmmm.
