Related: About this forumClinton hypocrisy on the Johnson Controls inversion
Clinton may act disgusted about the Johnson Controls corporate inversion, but did you know that the investment banking consultant for Johnson Controls is one of Hillary's principle economic advisers? You can't make this stuff up. The article explains in some detail.
"Sanders could have brought up Blair Effron after Clinton herself slammed what are known as corporate "inversions," specifically citing the company Johnson Controls, which pulled off an egregious example of a move done to reduce a company's U.S. tax bill. Effron is a founding partner of Centerview Partners, an investment firm that played a major role in the Johnson inversion.
Effron has raised at least $100,000 for Clinton's campaign, and it has been widely reported that he hopes to win a job in the Treasury Department. He has been referred to in print as one of the very few people Clinton listens to when it comes to economic policy."

Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our first lady a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation is a congenital liar.
