The Clinton apparatus has long come under scrutiny for
their closeness with high dollar donor class figures, some of which has
prompted federal law enforcement to fight for an official criminal
investigation into the “Clinton Cash” narrative—one the Department of
Justice (DOJ) under Attorney General Loretta Lynch has reportedly shut down. That being said, reports have surfaced that
the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara
is in fact investigating—along with the FBI—the Clinton Foundation for
such donor class proclivities with the Clinton apparatus.

“There
can only be one #womancrushwedensday today and that is of course
@hillaryclinton, not just for being the first woman to run for president
from this nation’s two largest political parties, but I believe the
best presidential candidate this nation could have today! Looking
forward to seeing her crush it tomorrow! #wcw #hillaryclinton,” he wrote about his meeting and photograph with Clinton herself.
In
the past few months, he’s gotten at least a couple of meetings with the
sitting president of the United States—Barack Obama—photos of which he
posted on Independence Day, July 4, and June 14. In the July 4 posting, Soros bashed the United Kingdom’s decision to vote to “Leave” the European Union—called Brexit.
“A special #july4th #mancrushmonday
for president @barackobama! Had European leaders and voters taken his
advice they wouldn’t be in this current mess,” Soros wrote with the July 4 Obama
picture. “After this farce called #brexit, I have never been more
grateful to be American and for the institutions of #federalism, a
written constitution, and a leader who doesn’t runaway from his
obligations! #independenceday #obama #mcm”
Perhaps more importantly here than just donor class globalist access to the Clinton apparatus,
this Soros-Kaine summit for Hillary Clinton’s campaign highlights how
over the past few weeks this presidential election has become a true
referendum for the major issues that Donald Trump wants the campaign to
be about.
First
off, despite her claims to now oppose the mega-trade deal she once
supported as the “gold standard” of trade deals, the fate of the Trans
Pacific Partnership (TPP) will be decided by voters in November. A vote
for Donald Trump is a vote to eviscerate the TPP, and all deals like it,
as he made clear in his rally in Erie, Pennsylvania on Friday afternoon.
After
Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee
(RNC), made a surprise introduction for him, Trump pitched himself as
America’s “Secretary of Keeping Jobs In the United States.” He hammered
the TPP, which is now dead and buried until after the election thanks to
House Speaker Paul Ryan’s primary challenger GOP businessman Paul
Nehlen forcing the Speaker to take a position by which it cannot be
resurfaced until at least the next president takes office.
While
Hillary Clinton says she opposes it now, everyone knows that she would
simply make a few minor changes to it, repackage it and force it through
Congress on the fast-track Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). Trump,
meanwhile, would nuke it entirely and offer Americans a whole new
approach to trade policy that puts Americans first.
“Did
you see her yesterday?” Trump asked the rally goers in Erie of Hillary
Clinton. “She has no clue what we’re talking about. She has no clue. She
has no clue. Crooked Hillary—she doesn’t know anything about it, and by
the way if she did she couldn’t do it anyway because the donors don’t
want to do it.”
Trump
noted that “We’ve lost thousands and thousands of companies and we’ve
lost millions and millions of jobs” thanks to the Clinton-backed trade
policies, like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Pennsylvania, Trump said, has “lost one in three manufacturing jobs
since NAFTA.”
“Massive—that’s massive,” Trump said. “Since NAFTA. NAFTA was signed by Bill Clinton.”
It’s
worth noting that Hillary Clinton still supports her husband’s
administration’s major trade deal, NAFTA, and has not specified what
exactly she would do on trade policy—so her history on the issue must be
trusted.
