Congressional Republicans tried all they could and couldn't find a thing on Hillary either. Is she the cleanest woman in American politics?

No. Only Trump is clean.

Actually, Hillary was smart enough to put layers off attorneys and employees between her and her actions.

“On Fox News Sunday, Banks repeatedly attacked the so-called “Squad” of young progressive women in the House and said Democrats “stigmatised” law enforcement and helped criminals.

“Let me push back on that a little bit,” Wallace said. “Because [this week] the president said that the central part in his anti-crime package is the $350bn in the American Rescue Plan, the Covid relief plan that was passed.”

Covid relief passed through Congress in March, under rules that meant it did not require Republican votes. It did not get a single one.

Asked if that meant it was “you and the Republicans who are defunding the police”, Banks dodged the question.

Wallace said: “No, no, sir, respectfully – wait, sir, respectfully … I’m asking you, there’s $350bn in this package the president says can be used for policing …


“Congressman Banks, let me finish and I promise I will give you a chance to answer. The president is saying cities and states can use this money to hire more police officers, invest in new technologies and develop summer job training and recreation programs for young people. Respectfully, I’ve heard your point about the last year, but you and every other Republican voted against this $350bn.”

True. I also don't think you can discount the possibility that the person who bought it also thought it might help with the planning. There are MENSA level geniuses with 6.93x our intelligence on both sides of this kerfluffle. :D

Probably worthy of its own thread but:
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A squad of gunmen assassinated Haitian President Jovenel Moïse and wounded his wife in an overnight raid on their home Wednesday, with police killing four suspects and arresting two others hours later amid growing chaos in a country already enduring gang violence and protests of his increasingly authoritarian rule.

Weren't the Clinton's cashing in on the Haiti relief funds schemes? :popcorn:

Gullible, or willful idiots? And is there a difference between those two groups?
