" Let me get this straight. Clinton gets paid $280k by some guy named Rauner. Then, Clinton turns around and supports Pat Quinn who is running against Rauner for governor.

To me that proves Clinton is not beholding to folks like Rauner, Goldman Sachs, or even the American Camping Association that she spoke before too.

I'm not sure I see the problem here."

playing both sides of the street. She than has cover either way no matter who wins. I don't remember Hillary coming to Illinois to campaign for Quinn. Again, without transcripts of her speeches to these groups we don't know what she said to them. Maybe she was Trying to tell them the truth.

You don't remember her coming to Illinois to campaign for Quinn, but if she did, you know she had an ulterior motive. She can't win. Heads you win, tails Clinton loses.
