The
Clintons don’t draw lines between their ‘charity’ and personal enrichment.
The
Wall Street Journal’s Kim Strassel writes:
In
an election season that has been full of surprises, let’s hope the electorate
understands that there is at least one thing of which it can be certain: A
Hillary Clinton presidency will be built, from the ground up, on self-dealing,
crony favors, and an utter disregard for the law.
This
isn’t a guess. It is spelled out, in black and white, in the latest bombshell
revelation from WikiLeaks.
It
comes in the form of a memo written in 2011 by longtime Clinton errand boy Doug
Band, who for years worked simultaneously at the Clinton Foundation and at the
head of his lucrative consulting business, Teneo.
It
is astonishingly detailed proof that the Clintons do not draw any lines between
their “charitable” work, their political activity, their government jobs or
(and most important) their personal enrichment.
Every
other American is expected to keep these pursuits separate, as required by tax
law, anticorruption law and campaign-finance law. For the Clintons, it is all
one and the same—the rules be damned.
