Clintons Sell Possibly Troublesome Stock

[WiseOne]

[ WASHINGTON (AP) - Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton liquidated the contents of their blind trust upon learning it contained investments of $5 million to $25 million that could pose conflicts of interest or prove to be embarrassing to her presidential campaign.
The blind trust and a bank account valued in the same range place the Clinton's total wealth at between $10 million and $50 million.
The Clintons had to disclose the contents of the blind trust in April under instructions from the Office of Government Ethics and sold the assets in May, according to a disclosure form filed Friday. The Clintons have had a blind trust continuously since 1993 and had no control over its transactions. ]

WiseOne's Comments, Now, you all tell me the Clinton's would do this IF they didn't think they were REALLY going to make it in 2008...? JMHO

I'm totally ignorant as to what a blind trust is and how they work so I have to ask a question. How blind is a blind trust?

I read this article yesterday and while I understand that they had no control over it, does that mean that they also had no knowledge of what kind of investments were in it? It appears hypocritical that they profitted from investments from corporations that behaved contrary to the Broom Riders beliefs, yet only divested when it became politically expedient to do so.

To me, they sound very much like the convicted criminals who find God just before sentencing.

Yup, that's very true. Yea, blind trust is where they are "supposedly" not aware of where the funds were (perfect for those two criminals). What makes me guffaw is when they say they are for the poor while hording MILLIONS of $$$ and living in mansions! Same with Barbara Streisand, man I can't stand her...
