pretty words
It sounds like Conley is saying that Hillary has a right to keep lending her campaign money in bad faith, knowing she won't win the nomination, and knowing she should be able to shake down the Obama camp to pay it off.
I don't know if the election laws say she has a legal right to make deliberate, bad-faith loans to her campaign with the intention of coercing Obama into paying her off-- maybe they do.
But either way, that's exactly what it looks like, even if Conley avoids using the word blackmail.
Maybe Obama should actually call her out publicly on this, and ask her what she wants to accomplish by staying in the race, and if she means to write off the money she's loaning to her campaign.
