The Clinton Scandal That Still Matters Is Not the One You Think

From the Fiscal Times article:
"...Under the guidance of an attorney representing Tyson Foods, Hillary Clinton made a $98,540 profit from a $1,000 initial investment in less than one year trading commodity futures. While $98,540 may not seem like much money relative to the Clinton family’s wealth today, it exceeded Bill and Hillary’s combined annual income at the time..."

A clear quid pro quo. And there were other serious financial issues surrounding this as well.

As I recall the info that came out at the time was that she gave $1,000 to a guy who was trading cattle futures. As he was buying and selling for a number of folks he got to assign which “sales” would be attributed to her account. So the sales that produced he gave to her. In other words, other people were screwed so she could make out big. I don’t recall that he went to prison. Nor did she ever acknowledge impropriety or make restitution. As she had already gotten away with even bigger things as this came out, Whitewater, Rose Law, etc. not much was really ever made but she has been filthy corrupt since AT LEAST the cattle futures fraud.
