Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential aspirations are
 teetering on collapse. This latest series of bombshell
 revelations have led some to say she cannot recover.
 Its already over.

Recently it has been exposed that Clinton conducted
 official State Department business over a private
 email server, not the secure, U.S. Government server
 required by law. The law is based on security and
 transparency. Now with a second firestorm raining
 on the former first lady, Senator from New York
, Secretary of State to the Obama Administration and 
two-time presidential candidate- has to do with
 potentially damning emails. Anyone think the emails
 might accidentally get erased? Lost? 

Clinton's political immolation is fine with me,
 I think its a mistake to confine our image to
 one or two political dynasties. I don't think its
 the right time for another Bush either.

First, The Fence
 I think Jeb Bush is too soft on immigration.
 I'm from the "build the fence, stop the leaks
first" school of thought. Repair the damage once
 that is done. To let the leaking continue is
misguided and will never solve the problem. 
The Democrat party as a general rule doesn't
support the building of a fence as a first step.
 They have put legislation forward which has
called for steps toward building the fence to
happen only to pull the funds or strip those
 provisions away in their time in control of the
 houses of congress. The Republicans, like
Charlie Brown, are continually blinded by this
 double dealing thinking, if she'll (Lucy) just
hold it, I'll knock it through! Poor stupid Republicans!

Part of the reason the consensus wont form to
 build it is the strong lobbying in congress on
 behalf of the herd of Latino and Central
 American special interest groups. Everyone
is stuffing their pockets. Special interests are
 the basis and medium of corruption in our
 government. I am not opposed to only these
special interest groups, I'm opposed to all
 special interests' power in our government!
 Its not fair to those who don't have these interests
. Maybe libs think we should have these interests...


Follow the Money
In an article in National Journal online,
 Ron Fournier describes the real threat and
serious problem for Clinton, is not the
secretive email pattern, but the Clinton
Global Initiative. The foundation and
charity Bill, Hillary and Chelsea manage
 takes in millions of dollars, and some of
it's biggest donors are the beneficiaries of
lucrative contracts and favors in return.

Even the Chicago Political Regime in the
 White House asked her not to accept
donations while she was Secretary of State.
They knew it looked corrupt, and was a
 liability fraught with legal "conflicts of interest".
As Fournier concludes:
It never stopped taking money from
 favored corporations, and recently it 
entered into partnerships with "at least 
six banks that were under investigation, 
involved in litigation, or had been fined
 by government agencies and regulators," 
according to a CNN investigation.
What did these companies and countries 
expect in return for their cash? Did the
 Clintons promise any favors? Those are 
fair questions—not partisan questions and 
not media "gotcha" questions. The Clintons
 are responsible for the management of 
their foundation. Hillary Clinton is
 responsible for stashing her emails in a 
secret server. She is running for president.
 The rest of us should follow the money.
