The outrageous speaking fees.  The Clinton Foundation donations.  She's married to Bill.

I don't think any of these are actually illegal, so your definition of "corrupt" maybe different than mine.

I don't think your action needs to be necessarily illegal in order to be corrupt.  Hillary (and Bill) have shown a consistent pattern of acting in the best interests of those that have given lots of money to them or their foundation.

Can you give some examples?

The Supreme Court, and Hansmeister, have informed me this is just free speech.

Goldman Sachs really wanted the top marginal tax rate to go up? :huh:

Marc Rich pardon.

Marc Rich pardon.

IIRC Marc Rich bought his way out of exile by donating to the DNC. :nerd:

Cruz and Kasich should drop out of the race tonight if Trump wins Indiana.  There just really is no more StopTrump momentum after this.  Nebraska and West Virginia vote next.

I'ts just 2%, but both Clinton and Trump are commanding large leads (15% and 20%).

Polls don't close for another 15 minutes. Those are early votes, I guess.

The state is in two time zones.  Most of the state, including Indianapolis, closed 50 minutes ago.

Looks like Indiana will be the seventh straight state Trump will top 50% and beat the polls by at least 5 points.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
