I would gently suggest that you examine the Art of War. You will find that we, as a species, have known good leadership for several thousands of years. Avoiding corruption or the appearance of corruption is definitely one of the characteristics.

As far as "does what he/she thinks is right", you might look at the decisions of Germany's respected military leader Rommel.

She won. Get over it.

We can't even accept as much as a free lunch from any of the public we serve or contractors.

I think it is a great policy.

whenever the Republicans feel it would be helpful, which is most of the time. SOP.

ethical principal is not explainable as an oversight. As with Scalia, there is a pattern of blatant disregard of conflict of interest rules.

Are you that type of person?

The statement is a truism so common that local governments adopt it as a matter of policy.
They're called sunshine laws for a reason.

SOme Hillary detractors will post anything if they feel it is negative. Careful reading of the ABC story gives the same information that mediamatters discusses.
Oh and cue the "mediamatters sucks" crowd. Even if everything mediamatters says is true, if a site is pro-Hillary it must be wrong.

(on a Monday no less).

I feel your pain.

This isn't complicated.

So there's that.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek with that reply.

Couldn't link to BlueNationReview or NewsBinDaily? Or hell, just wait another hour or so and you can read David Brocks daily talking points right here on DU....multiple times.

'ABC Reports Hillary Clinton “Sold A Seat” to Rajiv K. Fernando, a donor to the Clinton Foundation'

And excellent at describing the bullshit that is sure to follow.

And some bernie sanders supporters on DU.

Just damn.

Even read on DU it was a just conviction.

The Clintons have been doing it for 25 years.

whether it is involved with this particular story, I don't know. I was involved in investigating the vrwc for/with Gene Lyons and Joe Conason during the 90's. Any and all Murdoch owned media outlets in the U.S. are involved, but specifically; FOX News and the NY Post. The Washington Times (not Murdoch owned) was also involved, as was London's the Daily Telegraph. You do yourself, the Democratic Party, as well as this country, a huge disservice by belittling (denying?) the existence of the conspiracy.
