National Journal's Ron Fournier
dumps on Hillary Clinton in no uncertain terms, check it out:
Hillary Clinton seized all emails pertaining to her job as Secretary of State and deleted an unknown number of messages from her private server. Her family charity accepted foreign and corporate donations from people doing business with the State Department—people who hoped to curry favor.
She violated government rules designed to protect against corruption and perceptions of corruption that erode the public's trust in government. She has not apologized. She has not made amends: She withholds the email server and continues to accept foreign donations.
Like so many past scandals, these twin issues show the Clintons to be entitled, ethically challenged rule-breakers who believe the ends justify the means.
Given the above, Fournier summarizes what it all means.
You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to know that foreign companies and countries expected something in return for donating to the Clinton foundation rather than the countless other charities not connected to the U.S. presidency.
You don't have to be a lawyer to know the Clintons violated ethics rules.
You don't have to be a historian to know their ethical blind spot has decades-old roots.
You don't have to be a political scientist to know this behavior contributes to the public's declining trust in its leaders.
But to believe this is just about the actions of a book author, the mainstream media, and the Republicans, it helps to be a Clinton.
That's over and above failing to act to protect the U.S. ambassador in Libya, murdered by jihadis after his pleas for protection were ignored.
