(57,936 posts)It's all innuendo. This will not be about facts or reality. It will be about the appearance of impropriety whether it happened or not.
As I pointed out, Jane Sanders' worked at a regular job and was paid for it including some sort of severance pay. There is no appearance of impropriety in that.
Getting $200 thousand and more for a speech??? When you have alll kinds of contacts in D.C. and you our your wife is Sec. of State??????? That's got the possibility of and probability of very believable suggestions and allegations of corruption written all over it.
I'm not saying that
Hillary or bill DID ANYTHING WRONG.
They didn't need to. That is not how the appearance of a conflict of corruption works. People in politics need to be concerned about that and careful about that all the time.
Hillary and Bill have not been. That's OK if they want to leave politics. But apparently they don't.
