In March, Mahre said she made a one-time $25 donation via Clinton’s official campaign website. However, when she received her U.S. Bank card statement, she noticed multiple $25 charges were made. Mahre, who said in an interview she only contributed $25 because she’s “not rich” and that’s all she could afford, contacted her son, Roger Mahre, to help her dispute the unauthorized charges.[/p][p=28, null, left]Roger, who is an attorney, told the Observer that he called the Clinton campaign dozens of times in April and early May in an attempt to resolve the issue. “It took me at least 40 to 50 phone calls to the campaign office before I finally got ahold of someone,” Roger said. “After I got a campaign worker on the phone, she said they would stop making the charges.”[/p][p=28, null, left]Incredibly, the very next day, Carol’s card was charged yet again and the campaign had never reversed the initial fraudulent charges. “I was told they would stop charging my mother’s card but they never stopped.” He added that he knows his mother did not sign up for recurring payments. “She’s very good with the internet so I know she only made a one-time payment.” Roger also pointed out that even if his mother mistakenly signed up for recurring monthly payments then she should’ve been charged for the same amount of money each month, not multiple charges for varying amounts on the same day or in the same month. Furthermore, Roger said that after the campaign was made aware of this situation, the charges should’ve stopped but they never did.[/p][p=28, null, left]The Clinton campaign overcharged Carol $25 three times and then overcharged her one time for $19, a grand total of $94 in fraudulent charges. The campaign’s overcharges to Carol were just a few dollars short of $100. This is in line with what the Wells Fargo bank source revealed to the Observer.[/p][p=28, null, left]Since the campaign failed to amend the problem for Carol, Roger contacted her bank, U.S. Bank. However, he ran into problems when he asked U.S. Bank to refund his mother’s money. Roger told the Observer that the bank would not reverse the charges and that a bank spokesperson told him that they had no control over companies that make unauthorized charges. At that point, Roger decided to contact his local news and filed a fraud complaint with Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson’s office on behalf of his mother.

However, FEC spokesperson Julia Queen told the Observer they have no record of the case. “We don’t have it,” Queen said. The Observer contacted Swanson’s office and did not hear back.[/p][p=28, null, left]Roger did eventually get a letter from a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign. In the letter, the lawyer wrote that his mother would be removed from their donor list; however, the campaign did not take any responsibility for the fraudulent charges.[/p][p=28, null, left]“They basically said that they weren’t accepting responsibility for this but they’d remove my mom from the donor list,” he said.

If you and I did this, we’d be thrown in jail. This is theft, fraud or wire fraud—it’s a federal crime!”[/p][p=28, null, left]Since Carol’s story became public, Roger said he’s heard from other people who have been ripped off by the Clinton campaign. “I’ve heard this is happening to other small donors,” Roger said. “People will donate $25, but then when they receive their credit card statement, they are charged $25 multiple times.”[/p][p=28, null, left]The incident hasn’t just left a bad taste in Roger’s mouth. Carol decided she’s not going to vote for Hillary even though she’s voted for the Democratic presidential nominee every election since President Dwight Eisenhower won reelection in 1956. “My mother is a lifelong Democrat and she’s voted every election in her life for a Democrat but she’s not going to vote for Hillary,” Roger said.[/p][p=28, null, left]The New York Times reported in 2007 that Clinton’s first presidential campaign had to refund and subtract hundreds of thousands of dollars from its first-quarter total often because donors’ credit cards were charged twice. Additionally, it was reportedthat Clinton had to refund a stunning $2.8 million in donations, three times more than the $900K President Barack Obama’s campaign refunded.[/p][p=28, null, left]Another bank source told the Observer that Clinton’s motivation in purposefully overcharging donors is not only to rake in more money for her campaign but also to inflate her small donor numbers reported to the FEC. “This gives a false impression about how much money Clinton has raised,” the source said. “The money that the bank has refunded would not be reflected in the FEC filings till after the election. This gives off the illusion to the public that her support and the amount she’s raised is much greater than what it is in reality.”[/p][p=28, null, left]A Clinton campaign worker named Kathy Callahan, who worked on Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2008, claimed in a blog post that Clinton fraudulently overcharged her by several thousand dollars. She wrote that she voluntarily left the campaign’s finance committee after she discovered $3,000 in unauthorized charges made by Clinton’s campaign to her Visa card. Callahan said the unauthorized charges caused $400 in overdraft and bank charges and put Callahan over the legal donor limit. Callahan said that after a month of “begging and pleading,” she wasn’t able to get her money back until she threatened to go to authorities. However, when she was finally refunded her money the Clinton campaign refused to compensate her for the $400 in overdraft and bank charges.[/p][p=28, null, left]Callahan also wrote that Matt McQueeney, who worked in the compliance and accounting department at Clinton’s campaign headquarters at the time, told her, “What happened to you with credit card errors is happening to others.” McQueeneyreportedly parted ways with the Clinton campaign shortly after this incident occurred. Backing up what McQueeney claimed, there were several incidents similar to Callahan’s reported in 2008. Callahan and McQueeney could not be reached for comment.[/p][p=28, null, left]In 2001, the Clintons were accused of attempting to steal items donated to the White House during Bill’s presidency as he exited office.

Multiple donors said that they had understood that the items they had donated during Clinton’s presidency were to stay in the White House as part of the 1993 White House redecoration project. Initially, the Clintons claimed that the items in question were given to them prior to President Clinton taking office; however, government records proved otherwise. Facing strong criticism, theClintons decided to return several items including $28,500 in furnishings and they paid $86,000 for other gifts.[/p][p=28, null, left]Murmurs of theft are nothing new to the Clintons.

Enter your email address Sign up You used to love Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, but now you've had a change of heart — and want to cancel your recurring monthly donation to his campaign?
Too bad.
As the screenshots below demonstrate, there is no clear option on Trump's website to cancel monthly contributions or remove your credit card information: The site layout makes it appear that once you've set up a donation, you may only switch from one valid credit card to another.
There is, actually, a way to cancel — but only if you register your account by setting a password and navigate through a labyrinthine process.
This design flaw first came to light Wednesday, when CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond tweeted a screenshot of an email from a disenchanted Trump donor who alleged that the campaign has not returned voice message requests to cancel contributions. (The identity of the alleged donor is not shown.)

:large After investigating, Mic can confirm that there is no easy option to stop recurring donations on Trump's donation site: We set up a recurring donation of $1 and found no button or other obvious way to cancel payments or remove a credit card from the system — either on the homepage, the "update card" page, or in your contribution confirmation email.
Once you're registered, if you try to change your payment information on Trump's site, you will see no option to remove your credit card — only "update" it.

Clinton Body Double Count #HillarysBodyDouble took over Twitter with claims that lookalike Teresa Barnwell had appeared in New York to impersonate Hillary Clinton after the candidate left a 9/11 event following a medical incident.
2012年7月，一部涉嫌亵渎伊斯兰教先知默罕默德的美国电影《穆斯林的无知》(The Innocence of Muslims)在全世界穆斯林国家引起强烈抗议，很多国家都爆发了大规模反美示威游行。当年9月11日，利比亚东部城市班加西的驻美大使馆，遭伊斯兰恐怖主义激进武装份子暴力袭击，袭击共持续了4个小时之久，导致美国驻利比亚大使约翰-克里斯托弗-史蒂文斯(John Christopher Stevens)在内的四人遇难、多人受伤。班加西事件被视为美国历史上的另一起“黑色911”。 班加西事件后，时任美国外交系统一把手——国务卿希拉里难辞其咎。经调查，奥巴马政府在多个环节上出现失误，存在巨大的安保漏洞，未能保证外交使团的人身安全，遇难大使曾在事发前多次向美国政府请求支援，提醒华盛顿警惕班加西的“安全真空”，但并未得到回应。由于此时距离奥巴马参加连任大选只有56天的时间，于是共和党职责奥巴马政府不作为，外交政策失败，而国务卿希拉里被共和党指责包庇奥巴马。

This gives off the illusion to the public that her support and the amount she’s raised is much greater than what it is in reality.”[/p][p=28, null, left]A Clinton campaign worker named Kathy Callahan, who worked on Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2008, claimed in a blog post that Clinton fraudulently overcharged her by several thousand dollars. She wrote that she voluntarily left the campaign’s finance committee after she discovered $3,000 in unauthorized charges made by Clinton’s campaign to her Visa card. Callahan said the unauthorized charges caused $400 in overdraft and bank charges and put Callahan over the legal donor limit. Callahan said that after a month of “begging and pleading,” she wasn’t able to get her money back until she threatened to go to authorities. However, when she was finally refunded her money the Clinton campaign refused to compensate her for the $400 in overdraft and bank charges.[/p][p=28, null, left]Callahan also wrote that Matt McQueeney, who worked in the compliance and accounting department at Clinton’s campaign headquarters at the time, told her, “What happened to you with credit card errors is happening to others.” McQueeneyreportedly parted ways with the Clinton campaign shortly after this incident occurred.

Callahan and McQueeney could not be reached for comment.[/p][p=28, null, left]In 2001, the Clintons were accused of attempting to steal items donated to the White House during Bill’s presidency as he exited office.

Multiple donors said that they had understood that the items they had donated during Clinton’s presidency were to stay in the White House as part of the 1993 White House redecoration project. Initially, the Clintons claimed that the items in question were given to them prior to President Clinton taking office; however, government records proved otherwise. Facing strong criticism, theClintons decided to return several items including $28,500 in furnishings and they paid $86,000 for other gifts.[/p][p=28, null, left]Murmurs of theft are nothing new to the Clintons.

You used to love Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, but now you've had a change of heart — and want to cancel your recurring monthly donation to his campaign?
Too bad.
As the screenshots below demonstrate, there is no clear option on Trump's website to cancel monthly contributions or remove your credit card information: The site layout makes it appear that once you've set up a donation, you may only switch from one valid credit card to another.
There is, actually, a way to cancel — but only if you register your account by setting a password and navigate through a labyrinthine process.
This design flaw first came to light Wednesday, when CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond tweeted a screenshot of an email from a disenchanted Trump donor who alleged that the campaign has not returned voice message requests to cancel contributions. (The identity of the alleged donor is not shown.)

After investigating, Mic can confirm that there is no easy option to stop recurring donations on Trump's donation site: We set up a recurring donation of $1 and found no button or other obvious way to cancel payments or remove a credit card from the system — either on the homepage, the "update card" page, or in your contribution confirmation email.
Once you're registered, if you try to change your payment information on Trump's site, you will see no option to remove your credit card — only "update" it.

Then, when you click on "update card," you see a page that allows you to alter your payment information — but you cannot completely delete your credit card. You are forced to replace it with another valid card: Invalid numbers are rejected.

Similarly, the email confirmation Trump donors receive does not include any reference to how to cancel payments. While donors can hit "unsubscribe" at the bottom of the email, doing so does not delete your account information from the donations page.

Mic also made a $1 recurring contribution to the campaign for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and received a confirmation email that — by contrast — provides an email address for donors to write in with problems.

Unlike the message from Trump's campaign, the confirmation from Clinton's also acknowledges that you've made a recurring donation in the first place, warning you to expect a monthly charge.

If you go to Clinton's campaign site, there's also an accessible option to remove your card from the site. Clicking this button immediately halts your donations, a campaign representative confirmed in an email to Mic.

If you log out and log back in to Clinton's site, you can see that your card has been deleted.

It turns out that there is a way to delete your card from the Trump campaign's system, but it seems you must have first registered an account and created a password: If you did not do so, there is no clear way to cancel your payment.
Assuming you did create an account and have logged in, to stop your payment you must click the small gray question mark icon in the upper right corner of the donations page.

Then you will see the following screen. In order to delete your card, you must click "manage."

Then will you be redirected to the website of the Trump campaign's vendor. There you must click "recurring plans," and only then can you cancel your monthly payment; notably, even after you cancel, there is still no obvious way to delete your card number without replacing it with another valid number.

The Federal Election Commission does not have rules explicitly about the cancellation of recurring campaign contributions, said FEC spokesperson Christian Hilland.
"Our regulations do not speak specifically to that issue," he said. The only way problems with recurring donations would trigger an investigation, he explained, was if the total added up to more than the federally mandated maximum donation of $2,700.
The Trump campaign did not return multiple requests for comment by press time.
Recurring payments are increasingly coming under fire as a way companies get unwitting consumers to pay for services they don't want.
Some businesses are more transparent than others: Spotify, for instance, has a handy "cancel" link right below the button for updating payment information.

克林顿基金会与美国国务院的关系多年来一直受到质疑。
【人民报消息】「邮件门」余波未平，美国民主党总统候选人希拉里．克林顿又卷入一桩丑闻。美联社梳理希拉里担任国务卿头两年的日程表和邮件发现，她接见过的非公务人士当中，超过一半曾向克林顿家族的基金会捐过钱。
美联社评论，虽然眼下尚未发现其中有何违法之处，但这一「异乎寻常的比例」不免令人对她的政治操守产生质疑。
美联社2013年向美国国务院要求获取希拉里担任国务卿期间的工作记录，但迟迟没有收到答复。去年美联社以违反《信息自由法》将美国国务院告上法庭，后来如愿获得这些数据。
美联社梳理这些资料发现，2009年至2011年期间，希拉里一共与154名非公务人士见过面或通过电话，其中至少85人曾以个人名义或名下企业名义向克林顿基金会捐过现金或向基金会的海外项目投过钱。这85名「金主」累计向克林顿基金会捐款1.56亿美元，其中至少20人捐款额超过100万美元。
克林顿基金会的献金丑闻最早由美国一个法律监督机构曝出。该机构称，希拉里任国务卿期间，美国国务院可能受到她与丈夫比尔．克林顿创办的克林顿基金会影响，为基金会捐款者提供便利。
为抵消这些负面消息，克林顿8月22日发表声明宣布，如果妻子当选总统，克林顿基金会将不再接受外国或企业捐款；他本人将从基金会董事会辞职，他与女儿切尔西将停止为基金会筹款，把基金运营交给独立方。
但是，希拉里是注定当不上美国总统的，想必这个基金会还会继续捞钱。△

希拉里“邮件门”丑闻变现实版《纸牌屋》
对于美国民主，人们看法极端，或认为是理想主义的政治标本，或认为是马克-吐温《竞选州长》中呈现出来的黑暗。当然，也有人认为美国大选就是现实版的《纸牌屋》。
且不说大嘴巴的共和党候选人特朗普，民主党的希拉里•克林顿就一再上演“邮件门”丑闻。去年3月，希拉里承认在担任国务卿期间用私人邮箱处理约6万封邮件。并向国务院上交了尚未删除的大约3万封公务邮件。随后，希拉里正式宣布参选美国总统。这是“邮政门”丑闻的开始，也被舆论场笑称为“邮政门1.0”。“邮件门2.0”来了！7月22日，维基揭秘网站公开了共和党高层的近2万份绝密邮件和29段音频文件。显示希拉里为达到自己的政治目的，勾结党内高层内定党内候选人，并参与“洗钱”和操控媒体。维基解密的曝光，不啻在美国政坛丢下了一颗深水炸弹，让特朗普找到了希拉里“政治骗子”的铁证。但是，面对特朗普和美国舆论的批评，希拉里和民主党却没有反思自己的不堪，反而指责俄罗斯黑客，并阴谋化为俄罗斯配合特朗普对付希拉里。联俄反美，这顶大帽子套在特朗普的头上，加之特朗普对伊斯兰军属的不当言论，的确转移了美国舆论和民意的视线。但是，希拉里为达目的不择手段的政治权谋，以及随后出现的相关人士不明死亡事件，让人看到了希拉里正在上演现实版《纸牌屋》。
也许是美国政治一直都是光鲜面纱下的龌龊恶斗，“邮政门2.0版”固然为共和党和特朗普紧盯不放，如果没有更新、更猛的爆料，希拉里无非是在不诚实的标签上又多了“耍阴谋诡计”的名头。最惊险的是，8月22日又出现了“邮件门3.0”。
这个“3.0版”隐藏在希拉里没有上交的1.5万封邮件里。众所周知，希拉里担任国务卿期间承认用私人邮箱处理了6万封邮件（其中删除了她认为是私人邮件的3万封）。本次联邦调查局（FBI）发现的1.5万封邮件，所涉公务还是私人邮件不得而知。但是之前有人曝光了希拉里没有上交国务院的44封邮件。这些邮件的曝光，凸显希拉里在任职国务卿期间，为她和其丈夫克林顿创建的克林顿基金会拉政治捐款。此举不仅公权私用，还存在着利益输送问题。按照美联社的说法，在希拉里担任国务卿期间，通过电话和会见百余人，收到捐款超过1.5亿美元。此外，还收到16家政府机构的捐款1.7亿多美元。从曝光的邮件看，希拉里的亲信专门操持了这些政治捐款，通过邮件“拉皮条”的范围可谓遍及全球各地，既有犯事的体育明星，也有外国政要。
虽然希拉里方面称这只是其助手的私人行为，无关希拉里和基金会本身。但是身边人如此大胆地通过邮件来为基金会筹款，希拉里很难洗白自己。因而，“邮件门3.0版”杀伤力巨大，也很难消毒。共和党在穷追不舍，要求调查机构在总统大选日之前公布那些没有曝光的邮件。特朗普更是抓住不放，称这些邮件是希拉里公共腐败的证据，坐实了他对希拉里政治骗子的说法。
我们继续期待看到wiki 解密下一波的邮件。
为什么她赢了选票却赢不到民心？扒一扒希拉里最受争议三大事件
起中国人民最熟悉的美国政坛女强人，如果希拉里-克林顿(Hillary Clinton)排第二，估计也没人敢称第一了。希拉里第二次的美国总统竞选之路也算走得顺风顺水，他们都在党内预选阶段领跑，但大部分美国人并不喜欢他们！
甚至有美国民众戏谑“川普是满嘴跑火车的大嘴巴，希拉里则是为了达成目的可以不顾一切的大骗子”。反对希拉里的人们把她称为“政治攻击机器”(political attack machine)，说她好操控他人(manipulative)、不值得信任(untrustworthy)、太假(fake)、谎话连篇(deceptive)。
班加西袭击不作为
2012年7月，一部涉嫌亵渎伊斯兰教先知默罕默德的美国电影《穆斯林的无知》(The Innocence of Muslims)在全世界穆斯林国家引起强烈抗议，很多国家都爆发了大规模反美示威游行。当年9月11日，利比亚东部城市班加西的驻美大使馆，遭伊斯兰恐怖主义激进武装份子暴力袭击，袭击共持续了4个小时之久，导致美国驻利比亚大使约翰-克里斯托弗-史蒂文斯(John Christopher Stevens)在内的四人遇难、多人受伤。班加西事件被视为美国历史上的另一起“黑色911”。
班加西事件后，时任美国外交系统一把手——国务卿希拉里难辞其咎。经调查，奥巴马政府在多个环节上出现失误，存在巨大的安保漏洞，未能保证外交使团的人身安全，遇难大使曾在事发前多次向美国政府请求支援，提醒华盛顿警惕班加西的“安全真空”，但并未得到回应。由于此时距离奥巴马参加连任大选只有56天的时间，于是共和党职责奥巴马政府不作为，外交政策失败，而国务卿希拉里被共和党指责包庇奥巴马。
2014年5月，由共和党主导的“众议院班加西袭击事件调查委员会”成立，该委员会由包括7位共和党人、5名民主党人组成。该委员会目前已耗资450万美元，对班加西袭击事件的调查时间已超过了著名的“水门事件”，令希拉里头痛不已的“邮件门”就和该委员会有很大关系。
自打希拉里的“邮件门”被曝光后，委员会的工作重心已经从了解班加西事件，大幅偏离到了对希拉里“邮件门”的调查。
克林顿“拉链门”丑闻
希拉里被国人熟知多半是沾了她丈夫比尔-克林顿(Bill Clinton)的光，1993年-2001年希拉里担任美国第一夫人的八年间为自己积累了大量政治资本。不熟悉美国政治的人们已经忘记了克林顿执政期间的政绩有何辉煌之处，但大家都没有忘记当年著名的“拉链门”事件。美国总统与白宫实习生偷情的丑闻，将成为伴随克林顿夫妇一生的一块阴云，无法消散。
1998克林顿在第二任总统任内被曝光，曾在1995年至1997年与白宫实习生莫妮卡-莱温斯基(Monica Lewinsky)有染。此事曝光后全世界一片哗然，一开始克林顿多次在公开场合斩钉截铁地宣布自己和莱温斯基并无性关系，但随着关键证物，如录音带、莱温斯基私人日记以及莱温斯基自己出面和盘托出事实后，面对铁证如山，克林顿不得不出面发表全国讲话，承认自己和莱温斯基有不正当关系。之后1998年年底克林顿因伪证罪和妨碍司法公正罪遭众议院弹劾，最终来年2月参议院投票时，再有17票克林顿总统一职就将遭罢免。
希拉里在自己的回忆录《亲历历史》(Living History)中描述：自己开始一直相信克林顿是清白的，她根本没有想到别人的捕风捉影有一天真的变为现实，最后当克林顿向她坦白一切时，希拉里像天下所有的妻子一样愤怒和伤心。在这本回忆录里，希拉里通过对莱温斯基事件的描述把自己成功塑造成了一位有血有肉、识大体的宽容妻子。可在局外人看来，莱温斯基事件后希拉里多次改变立场。从一开始她矢口否认丈夫婚内出轨，一口咬定是政敌栽赃陷害；当克林顿偷腥证据已经坐实不可否认后，希拉里改口称自己一开始并不知情，对外她发表声明表示会坚定地支持自己的丈夫、维系家庭，但私下却对克林顿十分生气，甚至考虑与其结束婚姻关系。
事后，公众对于希拉里的态度也分为两派。一部分人同情希拉里的境遇，并钦佩她的坚决支持克林顿的决定，另一部分人冷嘲热讽克林顿夫妻的婚姻没有真爱，只是为了利用对方的一桩交易。希拉里对克林顿态度的转变，以及竞选纽约州参议院都受到了很多女权主义者的指责，批评者们认为她轻易地原谅了一个背叛家庭和婚姻的丈夫是另有目的。
Hillary Clinton's role in a 40-year-old rape case became the focal point of a viral meme in 2016, but the claims made about it were mostly inaccurate.
应该是懂的，她lg就是IT公司consultant，自己H1b才工作三年 身体很不好还老来华人给希拉里洗地不知道图啥，不过她老公和她喜欢公用账号，也就是大客户是金融业的难道真当自己金融大鳄了~
