it's not like the Clintons have stood still for the last 8 years, there have been more shady associations.
Peter Paul and Stan Lee for example, that trial is starting soon, and that's not gonna look good. (I'm a big Spiderman fan and you just don't screw w/Stan Lee IMO!)

Plus this little Gem:

Bill Clinton pardoned sixteen members of the FALN organization. These men belonged to a Puerto Rican freedom terrorist group, which was responsible for planting over 130 bombs in public places in the U.S. They killed six people and injured seventy. (Genovese and Almquist, 83) The FALN represented the single largest terrorism campaign in the U.S. “Yet Clinton’s clemency released individuals from prison after serving less than twenty years of terms running from fifty-five to ninety years.” (Fisher, 590) Again, President Clinton did not follow formal pardon procedures. He skipped the Department of Justice and attorneys. The FBI did not conduct any background checks and the FALN did not even execute a formal request. These facts, coupled with the Department of Justice’s 1996 denial of their clemency, make Clinton’s motives highly questionable. (Fisher, 590) The fallout was terrible for Clinton, receiving bipartisan condemnation and public fury. The Houseof Representatives later passed a resolution condemning Clinton’s pardon as an explicitly illegal action. One person, however, may have benefited from this clemency grant. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the President’s wife, won her senatorial bid for New York in the following election. She was elected senator in a state where 1.3 million Puerto Ricans would vote in the election. (Corzo, 14) Whether New York’s large Puerto Rican population voted on her behalf is not clear in the literature, but speculation leads to few legitimate justifications. Investigations were launched to find reasonable grounds for the clemency. However, “Congressional efforts to learn more about the FALN matter came to an end when Clinton invoked executive privilege to refuse subpoenas from congressional committee.” (Fisher, 593) As the critics raged, the White House maintained that the pardon power is not subject to legislative deliberation.

seems to have some affect on their policies....The Media may have led you to believe it didn't affect their policies.
