Merc14 Posted March 17, 2015 #102 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm not sure writing her memoirs is such a good idea for a publisher to undertake based on sales of her 2014 book Hard Choices. Simon & Schuster paid her a $14M advance on the book and printed a million of them and then only sold about 180,000 copies (as far as I can find) through August of 2014 which was about the date book sellers could start sending the book back to the publisher to be shredded. Their losses were projected to be around $10M. http://www.aim.org/don-irvine-blog/hard-sell-hillary-clintons-hard-choices-flops/ To add insult to injury, her book tour was a massive undertaking with visits to Good Morning America, NPR, BBC, CBS Sunday Morning, just to name a few http://www.thewire.com/politics/2014/07/the-neverending-book-tour-52-days-of-hillary-clinton-and-counting/375278/ and the advertising was reckoned to be worth millions upon millions of dollars which makes the terrible sales even more disheartening and embarrassing for Hillary. Old S&S footed the bill for the massive failed tour adding even more to their loss. Why go into all this? Well, I think it is important to point out how irrelevant Shrillary is looking in 2014 and 2015. S&S was remembering back to the glory days of the Clintons when they gave her the nearly unprecedented $14M advance on a memoir. Some say the advance was just a way for S&S to bypass the election donation laws, and that may be a part of it, but they really did believe they'd at least break even on the deal as I don't think they'd willingly take a $10M loss for Hillary's sake. Publishing is a competitive tightly knit world and this was an embarrassing disaster, especially after shipping a million hardcover books to stores only to get the bulk back for shredding (let's not forget the corporate and labor union bulk buys of this book which added thousands to the initial sales #). Personally, I'd be worried if I was a democrat right now and someone else doesn't come forward to compete against her. She excites no one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone old enough to have been politically aware since the Clintons first arrived on the national stage be so naive as to find Mrs. Clinton "honest and trustworthy"? Are the 42% mostly millennials for whom the long trail of baggage preceding the email server issue does not exist? Or are the 42% folks so he'll-bent on electing the "first woman" president that being first with that first woman has made the quality of that candidate irrelevant in much the same way that a push to elect the "first Black" president made them not question things like "what do you mean by 'fundamentally transform, precisely?'"

Jack Skellington Posted March 31, 2015 Author #114 Share Posted March 31, 2015 uh oh.... According to a Gawker report, Sidney Blumenthal, the top Clinton confidant, and “another former official from Bill Clinton’s administration were secretly lobbying the secretary of state on behalf of a billionaire in the former Soviet state of Georgia who was seeking closer ties with Putin’s Russia—seemingly in violation of a federal law designed to prevent foreign powers from covertly wielding influence within the United States.” Blumenthal “passed along a note from John Kornblum, an international lawyer who had served as ambassador to Germany under Bill Clinton,” to Clinton that lobbied on behalf of Oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, a Georgian billionaire who “led the opposition Georgian Dream party, which called for closer relations with Russia.” At the time, Ivanishvili “was opposing the incumbent President Mikheil Saakashvili, who had enjoyed U.S. support.” Two years ago, a hacker named Guccifer released some of Blumenthal’s emails, which Gawker has been reviewing. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/03/30/report-accuses-hillary-adviser-who-ran-intel-service-of-illegally-lobbying-for-vladimir-putin-ally/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorVictor Posted March 31, 2015 #115 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Where do we get these people? IRS emails lost when a hard drive crashed? Videos that start riots? One device needed for every account? Obama hears about everything on the evening news? Jews in a kosher deli were all random targets? The disdain this administration has for the people they were elected to serve knows no bounds. They clearly think we are all idiots. Since they are all supposedly educated people and they didn't attend their university alone they must be aware that there are many other educated people that hear these lame excuses. I just can't understand how their disregard for our Constitution and laws and their own employment regulations can be defended with such incompetent lies. Every five year old learns that to be useful a lie must be believable, that it must sound at least a little bit true. This is as out of touch with reality as when Marie Antoinette responded to the plight of her breadless peasants with "let them eat cake". I don't know which bothers me more, their cavalier approach to some of the most important jobs in the world or the lack of a healthy fear of the electorate to the extent that they feel no need to even tell a good lie.

Merc14 Posted March 31, 2015 #117 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Destroying the emails? = consciousness of guilt Not even Nixon destroyed the tapes. Remember him? The "other" impeached President? Believe it or not, Nixon was never impeached, he resigned early. Clinton was impeached but it wasn't for having sex with an intern in his office, he was impeached on two counts of perjury and one count of obstructing Justice while in office. He also lost his law license because of the criminal charges (later reinstated). Edited March 31, 2015 by Merc14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Skellington Posted March 31, 2015 Author #118 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Semantics. Impeachment proceedings were underway and impeachment was a certainty. His resigning was the equivalent of uttering "you can't fire me, I quit!" And what were his crimes? Nefarious and clandestine (hidden) communications Resistance of investigational probes Obstruction of Justice Attempted cover up Perjury Everything Clinton is doing, except you'd have to add a charge of destruction of evidence to Clinton, that Nixon didn't commit. He just wasn't quite as awful as Hillary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You called him an impeached president but that is not true and it is not a just semantic difference, it is the difference between being accused of murder and being found guilty murder. Being impeached and being threatened with impeachment are not the same thing and never will be. Clinton could've resigned, as Nixon did, but chose not to as he thought he could stare congress down but he lost and will forever be listed as an impeached president alongside Andrew Johnson. If you want to call Nixon the almost impeached president or should've been impeached president then fine, I have no argument with that as it is provably true but don't call him impeached when he wasn't.

Jack Skellington Posted March 31, 2015 Author #122 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hey Hillary.... Why don't you get it over with an testify tomorrow under oath. April Fools Day would be perfect, because no one's gonna believe a word you say anyways, then when your lies are found out (which they will be) you can laugh and say you were just kidding. "Because of the Secretary's unique arrangement with herself as it relates to public records during and after her tenure as Secretary of State." Gowdy wrote, "this Committee is left with no alternative but to request Secretary Clinton appear before this Committee for a transcribed interview to better understand decisions the Secretary made relevant to the creation, maintenance, retention, and ultimately deletion of public records." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
