You're starting to sound like a Breitbarter. Having read about those emails, they seem to show someone lobbying to get someone a State job and the other to line up a meeting for some dude (which never occurred, BTW). This kind of stuff may be news to you and other Trumpinista's, but this kind of stuff happens each and every day in every government agency and on Capitol Hill and it's not corrupt or unethical. It's business as usual.

Yeah, it kinda is. Clinton signed a promise to the effect that "For the duration of my appointment as Secretary, if I am confirmed, I will not participate personally and substantially in any particular matter involving specific parties in which the William J. Clinton Foundation is a party or represents a party unless I am first authorized to participate."

So, Bob, do you think it's time for you cut the "Big woos" and "Sighs" and "Weak sauces" and address the fundamental dishonesty of your candidate?

Business which she promised not to conduct if appointed Secretary.

It appears that you can't put up a defense of Clinton so you resort to these sarcastic one or two word dismissals when confronted with legitimate criticisms of your girlfriend. It makes it seem as if you lack any rational justification of your own support for Clinton.

Not really. I used the word for a reason. The way you ignore Hillary's faults is very reminiscent of one's feelings for a girlfriend. Love is blind.

The contents of these two emails don't contradict her promise. Having your aides lobby for somebody else to get a job is a normal thing, as is setting up meetings with people. I did both dozens of times as a Federal executive, as did everybody else I knew. It's part of the job description.

Did you ever sign a promise not to do it? Were the people you assisted donors to your foundation? Were any of these people convicted criminals?
