She and Bill committed cognizable crimes in relation to the cattle futures, regardless of any SEC or similar policy at the time not to bring an action against the trading client, the public corruption crimes should have been charged and tried. Her incredulous and shifting explanations of these circumstances would have warranted a conviction for anyone else under the same circumstances.

Your assertions that the prosecution of the broker was in keeping with law enforcement practices at the time, is incorrect in so far as the trading was simply a means to deliver a payoff for purposes of political corruption. Such cases are and have been regularly prosecuted in any jurisdiction where those with prosecutorial authority are awake and breathing. You are frankly wrong to try and dispell the instincts of average citizens, that she should have been prosecuted. Clearly, she is far more guilty than Martha Stuart for example who did not "sell out" her state or federal government in the process of making her investment returns.

While Governor and as president Bill and his mob committed a gigantic amount of crimes, only one of which was prosecuted.

Martha Stewart committed various crimes and was prosecuted for one of them; another one is pending.

OTOH, not a single person, whom Red Bone profited, has ever been prosecuted and Hillary was neither the only one, nor the one who was given the biggest payout. And WHY do they get off Scot free? BECUASE NONE OF THEM TOLD RED BONE WHAT TO DO!

IIRC, some of those who had BIG losses, due to the fraud, did sue Red Bone, in civil court, once he was prosecuted.

I don't know if there is a statute of limitations, on prosecuted this kind of crime. If there isn't, she, Hillary, no matter WHAT she has said in the pasts, is still off the hook, since she did NOT actually DO anything. And not a single other person, who did profit, at the same time, has been prosecuted; yet, they ARE as guilty as she is.

My "assertions", as you call them, are accurate facts about this matter. You don't like the facts, but they ARE the facts and I am NOT making excuses for Hillary!

You are frankly wrong; not on wrong, but damned dead wrong and are posting from emotion...not treason.

Bill Clinton was the governor, when the SEC prosecuted Red Bone. He/his cronies would have been the one to have prosecuted Hillary. You expect that he would have done that? If not, are you claiming that some FEDERAL agency should have stepped in? WHICH ONE?

At the time, not a single name of any of Red Bone's clients were made public. Just about nobody outside of the Chicago exchanges even knew about the case. It wasn't until Bill Clinton was running for president, that any of this even saw the light of day, vis-a-vis the general public.

Hillary did NOT "sell out" any state nor the federal government, with the cattle futures sale. Nobody, NOBODY hate the Clintons more than I do; however, it doesn't do anyone any good, to use the hyperbole that you have, nor to make wild accusations, that make no sense. The facts are bad enough, without trying to make them worse.
