Hillary Clinton has just added her husband former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger to her staff. The rumor is she will have him as her Secretary of State. One little thing about Sandy is he under Bill was convicted of stealing, destorying classified documents then lying about it. He like so many others who serve in the shadow of President plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge, he could have been facing years of prison. There is another rumor going around that her husband Bill, also convicted for lying to a grand jury during his presidency will be her Vice President. I wonder who she will have for Secretary of the Treasurey...her convicted former Fundriser Hsu?

How would that be any different than past administrations? Politicians are crooks, sometimes they get caught...sometimes they are even convicted.. and some of those get put right back into power

better to know the crimes of our politicians than to think them innocent?

...theoretically if they have done their time, paid their fine whatever....then they have a clean slate. i'd be more worried about the soon-to-be cons than the ex-cons.......

I believe the fear is, that it will be politics as usual. I can vote for someone, regardless of past mistakes, as long as they have paid their debt to society, and have shown true atonement and rehabilitaion. As an aquaintence of mine from childhood, that turned into a minister said "who better than to understand and help those that have sinned, other than someone that has been very experienced in it, and truly changed their ways." One of my fears, is the amount of money coming from non-citizen sources, that is going to the Clinton campaign, and the possibility of connections to the Chinese. Orion
