WASHINGTON — Sen. Hillary Clinton excluded nearly $24 million of her husband's earnings from Senate financial statements from 2004 through 2006, capitalizing on rules that permit senators to limit disclosures of some of their spouses' income.

Her decision, while fully consistent with Senate rules and norms, delayed the release of financial information about former President Clinton's soaring income until the couple released their tax returns in early April, under pressure from Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama. By then, about 40 states had completed their Democratic primaries and caucuses, meaning that those voters didn't get a clear look at Bill Clinton's finances.

capitalizing on rules that permit senators to limit disclosures of some of their spouses' income.

So they get to pick and choose which of their spouse's income they disclose?

Try that one the next time you face the IRS... or a spousal support hearing, or child support, or bankruptcy.

So basically, if a Senator would otherwise have a conflict of interest because of their spouse's sources of income, they can just not report it?
