Another judgment lapse from the Clintons: Your Say

Letter to the editor:

The discussion of Attorney General Loreta Lynch socializing privately with Bill Clinton, the spouse of a subject under investigation (Hillary Clinton), has focused on whether the investigation was discussed and whether inaccurate suspicions of impropriety were created.

The debate misses the point that there was a violation of boundaries between professional and personal relations, creating the potential for bias and inherent conflicts of interest.

It appears that the lack of public trust in the equality of rules for people in power is sensible, and that it is not just a case of “looking bad.” It is bad. That those in power think it’s about perception is even more disturbing.

This “meeting” is exactly why so many Americans think our government is corrupt. If Clinton is not recommended for indictment [and then indicted], Americans will always feel the fix was in. Washington is badly broken and that is why I am voting for Donald Trump. It is time for a change!

These types of shady backdoor deals would be daily occurrences during a Hillary Clinton administration. Anyone who would vote for possibly eight years of this should get their head checked out. Party loyalty isn’t as important as the future of our country.

If it were me or anyone else who disregarded the rules and laws, we would already be in jail. But not the Clintons. Why does Hillary Clinton just gets pass after pass? I have no faith that she will ever have to face the consequences of her actions.
