let’s not forget that the presumption of impropriety was on the table during Mrs. Clinton’s confirmation hearings. That’s why she went out of her way to promise the Obama Administration and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that there would be a fire wall between the Foundation and her office.

That “presumption of impropriety” is constitutionally mandated:

Article 1 Section 9:

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state

Note that it takes an act of Congress - not just of the Senate - to authorize any person who works for the government to accept anything from any foreign government. It follows that every government employee has the affirmative duty to disclose each and every such relationship to Congress. And that, failing Congressional action, any such relationship which was not disclosed to Congress, and authorized by congressional action, is presumptively corrupt.

It is a scandal that Hillary did not say “Mother, may I?” to Congress in advance of each and every acceptance by any entity bearing her name and of which she is a principal of anything from a foreign government. It is more than a scandal that a political party has nominated her for POTUS after this behavior. And it is equally a scandal that there are any state governments which have placed her name on the ballot for a slate of presidential electors.

And if the Electoral College ultimately elects her as POTUS - the scandal might bring on a constitutional crisis.

The only remedy - inadequate as it would be - would be for a judgement in a lawsuit to require the divestment from the Clinton family of any and all such corrupt “presents, emoluments, offices, or titles"

When it is revealed that there are actual fire in the Clinton "Charity" Foundation scandal, not just smokes, in the up coming month, Donna Brazile is going to rationalize that those donors got favors are 'normal behavior' from Hillary too, since they already paid up front.

The whole LEFT will shrug and say "So what?"

This might be an oversight by Brazile, but on the other hand it might be an attempt to change the system to fit their needs.

Playing up the “everyone does it” concept.

It’s sick, and the people won’t let it fly.

I still can't get over her descent into Southern black twang at the convention. She certainly doesn't speak like that on the news programs she's frequently on.

It was embarrassing.
