Claiming this is any form of vindication (as Hinderaker does, this afternoon) is… well, childish.

Naive at best.

That HRC agreed to pay $8,000 — rather than appeal the FEC fine… is only proof that she’s moved on, and the case was always VERY weak-to-non existent, even in FEC’s eyes.

So — if John thinks Tangerine paying hush money of $150,000 — for a paid sex worker, to shut her up is “nothing” (as he said, back then)… how on Earth is around one twelfth of that figure… (and not for sex acts, but administrivia)… for alleged paperwork violations — if even that they be — a story, at all?

C’mon John — this is… silly.

Out.
