Bill Still – Good morning, I’m still reporting on the Clintons.
No scam is too inconsequential for Hillary Clinton to try as she slips from overconfident wannabe Presidential nominee, to total desperation mode.
According to the Observer, Clinton’s campaign has apparently set up an automated stealing system from people who make donations of less than $100.
Here is one example, a lady named Carol Mahre, an 81-year-old grandmother of seven in Minnesota, took this photo of her bank statement. After giving an initial donation of $25, Hillary for America processed a total of $94 in additional unauthorized charges.

The Observer spoke to the Wells Fargo fraud department. Their source there who preferred to remain anonymous, told them that the Clinton campaign has been pulling this stunt since the primaries in the Spring:
“We get up to a hundred calls a day from Hillary’s low-income supporters complaining about multiple unauthorized charges,” said the source.
Why less than $100? Because most bank anti-fraud software does not look at charges under $100.
“We don’t investigate fraudulent charges unless they are over $100. The Clinton campaign knows this, that’s why we don’t see any charges over the $100 amount.”
This Clinton campaign scam is a widespread, major problem. The source says that every day the bank refunds fraudulent charges made to their customers by the Clinton campaign of between $700 and $1200 per day!
The source says that most customers first try to get on the telephone with the Clinton campaign to get their charges reversed, but that never works.
“They will call the Clinton campaign to get their refund and the issue never gets resolved. So they call us and we just issue the refund. The Clinton campaign knows these charges are small potatoes and that we’ll just refund the money back.”
“The people who call us are just the ones who catch the fraudulent charges. I can’t imagine how many more people are getting overcharged by Hillary’s campaign and they have no idea.”
The Wells Fargo source said that their bank has not had a single complaint from customers against the Trump campaign.
“I’m only talking to you because what Hillary’s doing is so messed up, she’s stealing from her poorest supporters.”
The sad part is this is nothing new. The “New York Times” reported in 2007 that the Clinton campaign had to refund $2.8 million back to donors’ credit cards.
Stealing money is not the only reason for the fraudulent charges to small donors. Another bank source told the Observer:
“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. The money that the bank has refunded would not be reflected in the FEC filings till after the election.”
Incredibly, the fraudulent charges even hit Clinton’s campaign workers. In 2008, Clinton campaign worker Kathy Callahan claimed in a blog that Clinton fraudulently overcharged her VISA card by several thousand dollars. The unauthorized charges caused $400 in overdraft charges.
It wasn’t until Callahan threatened to go to the police that the campaign reversed the charges, but refused to pay for the overdrafts.
A culture of theft has always surrounded the Clintons. In 2001, they were accused of attempting to steal $190,000 worth of items donated to the White House for its renovation as the Clintons went out the door. The items were shipped to the Clinton’s new estate in Chappaqua, New York.
After intense media pressure, they returned some of the stolen furnishings and paid $86,000 and kept the other gifts.
Bill Clinton recently compared himself to Robin Hood saying that the Clinton Foundation takes from the rich and distributes to the poor. Just tell that to the people of Haiti.
I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day.
