I know what she was thinking. She was thinking no one would ever bring up these things. Like many, she underestimated the Bush admin. (I think some people took that "he's stupid" story too seriously.)

"How could she not care?" asked a former Clinton staffer. "It was in her interest to have her former boss do well and defend the agency she helped to run."

Leave it to a former Clinton staffer to not recognize a conflict of interest when it's staring him right in the face. I am amazed we survived the Clinton administration at all.
