Sachs would have been a big hero on DU before these primaries. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2016 #12

Morning Joe introduced Sachs as Bernie's foreign policy advisor on a March 31 LuvLoogie Apr 2016 #83

You mean Bill and Hillary can't be on the Board of Directors and determine their own salary? rhett o rick Apr 2016 #118

There is a pretty tight limit on inurement with non-profits. Even if they somehow managed to pay Hoyt Apr 2016 #119

So you say H. Clinton is now willing to raise the cap on SS? When did this change? rhett o rick Apr 2016 #120
