We are two months out from the general election, How Hillary Clinton is still in the game boggles my mind. I’m sure it boggles many peoples minds, but needless to say she is still in the game. I am not sure what the fascination is with her. She was a disastrous first lady, Secretary of State, and Presidential candidate. The only thing she has accomplished is the murders of innocent American’s…So how was she appointed?
From Weasel Zippers via Law Newz:
A top Senate Republican called on President Obama to appoint special prosecutor to investigate whether foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation received special access to Hillary Clinton while she served as Secretary of State.
Senator John Cornyn made the statement to The Hill during a recent interview published on Monday. In the interview, the Texas Senator essentially said he felt Clinton pulled fast one lawmakers eight years ago during her confirmation hearing to become Secretary of State.
Back in 2009, Sen. Cornyn held up Clinton’s nomination until he was satisfied that proper safeguards were in place to address concerns over conflicts of interest regarding foreign contributions to the Clinton Foundation.
“This is not an effort to scuttle or block the nomination, but a legitimate policy difference,” Cornyn spokesman Kevin McLaughlin said at the time. “Senator Cornyn’s goal is to create transparency on all levels of government.”
Sen. Cornyn eventually released his hold on the nomination after receiving a promise from Clinton to “do everything in my power to make sure that the good work of the Foundation continues without there being any untoward affects [sic] on me and my service and be very conscious of any questions that are raised.”
Good questions, but we may never know the answers.
