Isn’t Hillary’s involvement in these organizations a violation of the McCain/Fiengold law that is what is keeping Newt from running? And if so can’t someone try to imprison her for breaking the law?

Laws don’t apply to the Clintoons. Or to leftists generally.

Hillary is so obig headed she thinks laws do not apply to her.

For once, I would like to see someone with a spine stand up and make her take responsibilty for what she has done.

And thanks to doug_from_upland. He is doing a darn fine job.

I doubt it. Newt's group is a 527, a type of political organization of recent vintage (thanks McCain). Media Matters actually has 501(c)(3) status like a regular charity or educational organization.

IIRC, Newt said that the law causing the conflict with running pertains to the 527 groups. It is hard to imagine that it applies to (c)(3) groups as well. Nader has run for president and some of his groups are obviously (c)(3).

This is probably beside the point. As far as we know Hillary has no current official role with Media Matters--is that right?
