Secretary of State nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton intervened at least six times in government issues directly affecting companies and others that later contributed to her husband's foundation, an Associated Press review of her official correspondence found.

The overlap of names on former President Bill Clinton's foundation donor list and business interests whose issues she championed raise new questions about potential ethics conflicts between her official actions and her husband's fundraising.

Raises new questions? No way, just the same old questions that the same old MSM won't ask. It's like deja vu all over again.

So she did a little finessin’. Pff! A Clinton could sweep that under the rug with two fingers, on live tv, and simultaneously make a stack of classified documents vanish while tap dancing on hot coals, gargling tequila and talking no ways tard.
They are not like us mortals you know.

You’re right that it won’t stick, of course, because the Clintons still enjoy the MSM’s protection against any charges. But Obama was the perfumed prince this year, because the journalists wanted to be witnesses to an historic election. That’s exciting, don’t ya know. Hillary was boring compared to the Mutt.

Anyway, Clinton corruption can be expected - you can’t stop a Grifter unless you incarcerate ‘em.

If a Republican SOS nominee had these complications, they wouldn’t even be in front of the Senators. If Hillary! had an R beside her name she would have been screamed out of the room already. The double standard is disgusting.
