Hillary’s recovered emails reveal her pulling strings for Chelsea’s ‘best friend’

Shortened title.

Full title: Hillary’s recovered emails reveal her pulling strings for Chelsea’s ‘best friend’ to get consulting contracts

Federal ethics rules are crystal-clear: government employees “shall act impartially and not give preferential treatment to any private organization or individual.” But that’s not how it worked in Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

Bill Gertz of the Free Beacon has done us all a favor by combing through the emails recovered from Hillary Clinton’s server deletions, and revealing the way business really is done at the highest levels of Beltway Banditry when a Clinton wants something to happen.

The story he puts together demonstrates that Hillary “recommended” Chelsea’s “best friend” for government contracts to influence policy-making at the State Department and Defense Department. It is well worth reading in its entirety, because it constitutes a portrait of the way business really is done.

This is a clear violation of Federal ethics rules.

"Clinton in 2009 arranged meetings between Jacqueline Newmyer Deal, a friend of Chelsea Clinton and head of the defense consulting group Long Term Strategy Group, with Pentagon officials that involved contracting discussions, according to emails from Clinton’s private server made public recently by the State Department. Clinton also tried to help Deal win a contract for consulting work with the State Department’s director of policy planning"

Rules are for little people. That truly appears to be their mindset, along with much of Washington.

You mean the old boy network that’s been in place in government since the beginning of time is still in place now?

Color me shocked!

Like we need proof she is corrupt?

Those are really just “guidelines” and are for the “regular people”, not the Clintons. You are trying to apply general laws and rules to Hillary and, as James Comey has pointed out, that is just not done.

That thinking is why we are where we are.

I refuse to accept it.

Really disgusting how the Clintons used taxpayer dollars as their own piggy band. Working hard...... to rip us off is what Hillary does.

I used to feel sorry for her.

Not anymore.

She has taken the mantle.

Someone told us awhile back that this is no big deal. Everyone does it so....

This is nothing new for Hillary. Unbelievably my family was on the losing end of a situation where Hillary was doing a favor for a friend that put us in a hardship for a few years.

My grandfather was in government and was so scrupulous he would wrap up and send back any gifts that valued one penny over the limit back then. It’s disgusting how the Clintons just grab anything they can.

Keep in mind that there is no law against Hillary’s actions here. It is the ethics rules that appear to be violated.

That line was taken directly from the article itself.

My point: Yet another "nothing burger" regarding prosecution of Hillary.

Hillary Clinton is the politician version of Leona Helmsley, both butt-ugly megalomaniacs. The difference was Helmsley went to jail, and she didn’t even have enemies knocked off.
