2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Paid Herself $250,000 From Campaign Funds [View all]jpb33
(141 posts)327. No Shame
No shame at all. Plus she knows she can get away with it because the press won't call her on it, they will not even mention it. And Hillary's followers will either make an excuse for her, or they will rationalize it, or they will deflect, or they will try attack the source of the information, or they just do not mind.
