https://theintercept.com/2016/01/23/clinton-goldman-sachs-laugh/ Her defence from what I saw was basically that every other secretary of state did it (took hundreds of thousands of dollars for a few speeches) but I can't find that video. |

The area where I live has been ravaged by opencast mining. We had councillors that were coal company employees, share holders, trade unionists, one was renting a house on coal company land. Some received gifts that were in serious breach of guidelines which were declared so the council knew about them and did nothing. One councillor went to numerous football games at the expense of a coal company - again each time was serious breach of the rules but the council didn't want to take it upon themselves to report him.
It eventually stopped after it got too brazen - a VIP trip to the Nou Camp made the paper but even then he was only warned about his conduct, not reported. Fast forward a few years and the companies have gone bust and the insurance money that should pay for restoration is less than 10% of what is needed due to an unbelievable lack of oversight. Or willful blindness. Clinton is just the same except much further up the food chain. |
