Jon Corzine, the former U.S. senator and Obama campaign bundler who was the head of MF Global during the brokerage firm’s collapse which lost more than a billion dollars, is reportedly co-hosting a “Ready for Hillary” PAC fundraiser:

The purpose of the dinner is to “lay the foundation for a potential Hillary Clinton presidential campaign,” according to the invitation, which lists Corzine as a co-host.
@MarkMelin Hillary fundraiser co-hosted by Corzine? That is a real thing that is happening? Won't she get crucified for that?

Somebody doesn’t appear to be too worried about keeping the “appearance of impropriety” to a minimum.
@amychozick @jerri_wolf @ReadyForHillary I'd keep an eye on the silver. And the greenbacks.
