http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/231215-clinton-took-taxpayer-funded-private-jet-flights-as-senator

I KNOW it s RW narative...

But between this and Bill's ties with Epstein rumors.... is that the real reason she os delaying anoukcement?
And if she after all not run...so could it give Bernie and/or Liz a real chance?

Maybe its just a dream....lol

She is a former First Lady. I doubt this is an issue. I would focus focus on where she stand on the CentralMass Jan 2015 #13

Was this during her "dead broke" period. Or, was it to meet "the people" from Coke and CG? Tierra_y_Libertad Jan 2015 #14

As much as people whine and beg for anything to keep Her out, forget about it.

She's the next prez. Get over it. It's her turn.

Please. That's a stretch, and if we want to go back in time, the ethics violations in Jeb's Florida would take center stage.

Plus, when one tries to shop "rumors" with absolutely no proof of anything nefarious going on (What--was Hillary engaging in naughty behavior on the planes? I mean, come on...) it comes off as flopsweat desperate. The four key paragraphs, with the key points highlighted:

The flights racked up $225,756 in costs during Clinton's time in the Senate, from 2001 to early 2009, according to Bloomberg.

The charges are noted on Clinton's official Senate filings, which were provided to Bloomberg by a Republican operative.

Some of the planes used by Clinton were owned by companies including Coca-Cola and Citigroup, according to the report.

Bloomberg found no evidence that Clinton had violated ethics rules; senators frequently use privately chartered planes for travel.

Those Republican operatives should spend more time trying to bury the stinking garbage following their fair-haired boys around...!

Despite some people's wishes to the contrary. Posting right-wing negative commentary about Hillary Clinton is nothing more than carrying water for the right. Sorry, but it won't wash.
