Facing a scandal that threatens to capsize her quest to return to the White House, Hillary Clinton debuted her first major policy speech since the official launch of her current campaign. Clinton focused on a call to end “mass incarceration” in America and denounced racial injustice in the legal system, but her focus was on the question of “trust” saying “we must urgently rebuild the bonds of trust and respect among Americans. …Restoring trust in our politics, our press, our markets.” That’s a pretty tall order for a woman who is now widely distrusted by the American electorate and facing accusations that she and her husband raked in part of their massive fortune through payola from people doing business with her State Department. Remember the last time Clinton spoke in so public a setting in New York, she was explaining that she had destroyed 31,000 emails from her time in office.
It’s quite a switch for Clinton to join President Obama and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., in anti-imprisonment crusade. Clinton has long heralded the tough-on-crime policies of her husband’s administration – laws credited with helping to end the bloody drug turf wars of the 1990s but blamed for a booming black prison population. Under the Clinton administration, federal prosecutors stepped up drug prosecutions and today, and today most federal inmates are behind bars for drug offenses. Facing pressure from her left and a skeptical black electorate, Clinton had no trouble making the reversal.

What is Hillary now, a standup comedian? Restoring trust in government with this woman and her husband? Yeah, that’s a good one Hillary. Who writes your jokes anyways?
The Onion back up? And you’re right. Like little kids, they just say stuff. Doesn’t matter if its true or false, hurts someone or not.
If President Cruz appoints Rudy Giuliani as Attorney General, the thugs will face the same ending as the Mafia.
Well Jeb did give her a golden colored award and praised her to great GOP applause so brass plated is accurate as well.
I know she’ll be focused like a laser on restoring trust in government.
At the risk of pronouncing things a bit early, she does not have the bamboozle factor of BHO. Not by a long shot.
Yea but the Clinton death toll is higher than Barrys regarding supporters so there’s that.
California let something like 30,000 prisoners out who were supposed to convicted only of minor things such as burglary and theft. Guess what’s happened in the Bay Area as a result? Burglary and theft have SOARED to new heights we haven’t see in years since Three Strikes was enacted.
Great plan Her Royal Highness has...bound to win her the prisoner vote and the black vote, but not many in the ‘burbs who want safe neighborhoods.
Hillary restoring “trust” in government is like Obola restoring “transparency” in government.
I’ve got a golden colored award that I’m saving for her grave.
I set it up, you knocked it over the fence. God is in his heaven and all is right with the world ;)
I’m not a shrink but she sure seems like a madwoman to me. Maybe she’s just an alcoholic screeching control freak who sounds like she’s reading to 1st graders when she gives a speech.
She’s repulsive.
High fives all around. You betcha.
She’s a CLINTON.
Bill, as president, once said: “I’m not for the balanced budget amendment, but I am for the movement advocating a balanced budget amendment.
Think about it.
Actually she suffers from acute Nobles Oblige with a 70% Marxism mixed in. "Let them eat cake."
www.merriam-webster.com/.../noblesse%20oblige Merriam‑Webster the idea that people who have high social rank or wealth should be helpful and generous to people of lower rank or to people who are poor.
"I do not have a problem with that but she wants to use my money and not hers."
She wants to restore trust.
Easy.
Start with turning over the email server, voluntarily.
Next, open the records of the various Clinton charities.
Oh let me dry my laughter tears and blow my nose!. Snooooort.
Per some reports earlier, some in the audience laughed when she made the comment about restoring trust.
Even some reporters commented on it as being a gaffe.

I listened to about 5 seconds of her speech this morning. I did notice that she was intentionally speaking slowly and softly.
I guess the results from the focus group said to speak slower and softer.
Hillary wanting to restore faith in government corruption. Fixed it for you.
The jokes write themselves, and Cacklebeast is the biggest joke of them all.
Democrats. They just ... say stuff.
No, she means it. But she left out one word, blind; as in blind trust.
America’s answer to Eva Peron.
