Hey, the Scooby van doesn’t run on magic, you know. And if Hillary is really going to raise over $2 billion to fund her run for the White House, she needs to go to where the money is. In this case, Hollywood:
Hillary Clinton to Visit L.A. On May 7 for Fundraisers at Home of Steven Bochco, Haim Saban http://t.co/jKHHo8ZAMN

But the more interesting of the two fundraisers is the one at the home of billionaire Haim Saban, an Egyptian-born Jew whose family immigrated to Israel when he was a child.
Saban, who is the owner of the powerhouse Hispanic media company, Univision, made news a few weeks back when he strongly hinted that Hillary Clinton opposed President Obama’s deal with Iran:

Sounds like Hillary is privately trashing Obama's Iran policy to Haim Saban. Heaven forbid she speak out publicly http://t.co/7RTivFJuDd

No word yet if Dems will push for Saban and Clinton to be prosecuted for their treason against the president under the Logan Act.

And maybe more important than Saban’s views on Iran is his current ownership of Univsion, a longtime ally with Democrats and supporter of Hillary Clinton:

@MattDeLuca @kenvogel doesn't Haim Saban own Univision? So when he says his "full might" is behind Hillary, well…

Saban recently said in an interview, “it’s not a matter of if Clinton wins, it’s a matter of when”:

And there are strong ties between Univision and the Democratic party:

Considering all the media-on-media writers, the refusal to discuss Univision-Dem ties is intriguing http://t.co/4w7kppfXrP

In the past, we haven’t heard much from the media about the Hillary-Univision alliance:
