In reply to the discussion: Hillary's Rahm Problem [View all]Bjorn Against
(12,041 posts)42. Yes, I think that settlement is the smoking gun that ties Rahm to this

He knew, and the provision in the settlement that requires the family to remain silent proves there was a cover up.

And then they use $5,000,000 of taxpayer money to cover up the crime. Crazy.
