Smart enough? Or maybe it is that their accusers (thr GOP) don't have any proof because their accusations are mainly political bull shit.

There's no question that the Clintons are skilled at being in and around the fire, but only managing to get a little scorched now and then.

What fire? Benghazi? Vince Foster? More often than not, where there's smoke around the Clintons there's one of Richard Mellon Scaife's trolls with a smoke machine. Guess who bankrolled Judicial Watch?

I think this editorial - and the Baltimore Sun is without a doubt in the tank for Clinton (not the anti-Trump rants in the editorial) - says it all. ...and I don't think one of the left's favorite boogeymen, Richard Mellon Scaife, is bankrolling the Sun.

Such ethical entanglements seem to have dogged Ms. Clinton on a rather consistent basis — whether it's taking large speaking fees from Wall Street banks or using a private email server (and then struggling to explain the nature of that email) while serving as President Barack Obama's top foreign policy adviser. None have produced the proverbial "smoking gun," a clear case of quid pro quo (or an offense worthy of prosecution), but enough of them have stacked up to raise serious questions about her judgment.

To put it another way, in the Clinton's world, where expediency is confronted by ethical boundaries, expediency wins (particularly when expediency favors a Clinton).

You know, 'expediency' has it's points. GWB went into Iraq feeling 'great moral clarity.' A more pragmatic person might have asked harder questions about how it's all going to work out.

Seems like with the Clinton's, scandals and shady dealings are routine.

Bill Clinton aides used tax dollars to subsidize foundation, private email support

According to the linked article, nothing illegal occurred.


Just another attention grabbing headline for those who don't bother reading the whole thing.

Agreed, nothing illegal and I did read it in its' entirety. But these shenanigans by the Clinton's are all too common and why they contribute to the trust issues with Hillary.

If I conducted my business like the Clinton's, the IRS would be auditing me annually. They are what we call a shady business and nothing is ever clean or straightforward.

There is no doubt they push the envelope as far as legally allowed. Nothing wrong with that. Lots of people in politics and business do the same.

The Clinton antics pale in comparison to the shady and illegal business dealings of Trump.

even if Hillary only kissed babies and played with kittens the right would issue some sort of complaint about her actions. I believe a lot of it stems from their dislike of Bill, and she is no saint, but she is smart. plus with Drumph ranting about illegals again last night she will be our next president!
