The Raffaello Follieri Indictment: The Best Bits: "Back in 2005, Raffaello Follieri was introduced to supermarket magnate Ron Burkle by Doug Band, the adviser to former president Bill Clinton. Follieri was very charming and solicitous and he told them all about his plan: He would use his family's v. v. close ties to the Vatican in order to purchase Roman Catholic Church properties in the U.S. at low prices, flip them, and sell them. Everyone thought this sounded like a great idea, and Burkle invested a bunch of money. Follieri was in like Flynn. The former president publicly praised the Follieri Foundation's work vaccinating children in Honduras, and they all even hung out on vacation in the Dominican Republic this one time."Something that was never brought up in the primary campaign was all the Clinton's dirt.
I mean, everybody with any sense realizes that the Clintonites bitching about the press is total bullshit, because nobody ever brought up Bill's zipper problem (until that Vanity Fair article near the end). This was something we all knew but just sort of decided not to talk about, although you can be sure the Republicans wouldn't have been so nice as the Obama team.
But what most people don't know is that the Clinton's have become very rich only after leaving the White House, and Bill's been living it up. If Hillary had gotten the nomination, stories like this, which highlight Bill's monstrously bad judgement in areas of personal finance, would have been added to the adulterous mix.
We really dodged a bullet.
