Thanks a lot for the post. For someone living on the other side of the waters, with a media that delivers even less real news than the US MSM, the FreeRepublic is a breath of fresh air. And the digging that you and others do makes it into a real treat to read.
Of course the WasPo article was (or tried to be) a whitewash of the Clintons. However, what you an almost everyone else on this thread (except Yellow Rose of Texas) seems to miss is that even if one reads the article uncritically the one thing that strikes one is the sleaze.
To quote YRT "did the Clintons [ever] do business with anyone who was/is not a criminal?"
What this article does (maybe unintentionally) is to remind people of the criminality, scandals and downright sleaze that always have sorrounded the Clintons. Even if HRC once again is able to skate from a federal crime charge just to remind people of her dirty past is probably enough to hurt her badly in upcoming Dim primaries (pace Southack).
When I read this story I couldn't help thinking about the queen's necklace (Marie Antoinette) or the sleaze surrounding the last tsar (Rasputin etc). In the end it was the scandals that undercut the popularity of those royals and was an underlying factor in their untimely demise.
Hopefully these last scandals will finally bring the Clintons' political ambitions to an end.
Good luck with giving this story some real legs.
