Remember when a woman sent Hillary Clinton a “Dream Catcher” with an eagle’s feather she found on the ground? Hillary turned her in.
It never got to Hillary. They screen everything coming in to the White House far away.

[Peg] Bargon pleaded guilty in August 1995 to two misdemeanor counts of violating the Lacey Act and the Bald Eagle Protection Act. She was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Urbana to two years of probation and fined $1,200.
The Monticello woman was pardoned Saturday by President Clinton, who pardoned or gave clemency to 140 people in the final hours of his presidency.
Her troubles began when she gave first lady (now Sen.) Hillary Rodham ClintonCQ a dream-catcher made with eagle feathers at a University of Illinois ceremony in May 1994.
According to American Indian lore, dream-catchers, which are made of string, stones and feathers attached to a hoop, are supposed to bring good dreams to the owner. But it has brought nothing but nightmares to Bargon.
Bargon said she had no idea that it was illegal just to possess the feathers. Possession of such a feather is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of as much as $56,000. Possession with intent to sell the feathers could bring up to a year in federal prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
