Super PAC Backer Says Big Money Entitles Donors to Campaign “Oversight”

https://theintercept.com/2016/04/07/super-pac-backer-reveals-that-big-money-entitles-donors-to-campaign-oversight/

Here’s how Hoffman puts it: “Large donors … often serve as an executive board of sorts, challenging campaigns to act worthy of their investment.”


I wonder who Hillary's executive board of oversight is. Fossil Fuel, BigPharma, Monsanto, Fracking, Wall street, a veritable who's who of the worst of the worst in special interests.

you pay the big bucks - you expect a return . . . like any investment!

That's extraordinary. And very very very bad.

Of course no media will report on this. Or ask Hillary what she thinks about what Hoffman said.
