Hillary Clinton bids to raise millions for Joe Biden with $100,000-a-head fundraising dinner on ZOOM
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Hillary Clinton will host a 'virtual conversation' over Zoom to raise money for Joe Biden's campaign

  • Top tickets for the event are going for $100,000 per person, but it goes down to $2,800 for 'limited availability' tickets

  • Last month, Clinton endorsed the presumed Democratic nominee

  • The dinner will also include an appearance from DNC Chairman Tom Perez

$100K = clean feed. $2,800 = Buffering

#1 Virtual Chardonnay?

#2 They may want to have a look at the fine print on that contract. If Hilly's charging $100K per I'd estimate Biden could well be looking at a windfall that could easily reach into the hundreds.

#4 Oh, hackers are going to have fun with this. The big questions is it the attendees will be able to tell the hacker contributions from their own...

#5 Maybe a nubile hacker will lure Carlos Danger into the event at a moment of maximum transparency?

#6 Isn't it Zoom which autoloads the Chinese?

#7 Yes. People who know the founder & the company well tell me the only reason it got traction was that it was the sole videoconferencing tool that worked seamlessly in China. Otherwise, it never would have succeeded

#8 Re #2: Yep. Given some creative accounting (borrowed from Hollywood) it wouldn't surprise me if the Hildabeast presented Joe with a bill rather than a check.

#10 Grifter raises money for grifter. Hildabeest has another scheme to get into the White House. How about a WH petition for the Beest to choke herself?

#11 How many millions would actually make it out of Clinton hands into Biden hands?
