Completely silly post


Of course the Clintons should be questioned. They can't help themselves with some stuff, which sometimes puts them into gray areas ethically, if not morally or legally. Bill's decision to take a no-show job and make $18 million at a for-profit university? Completely legit story, and they should answer questions about that crap.

But so much of the reporting that surrounds them is total bullshit. Case in point - the breathless AP expose that blatantly tried to carry Trump's water by fudging the numbers. MORE THAN HALF THE PEOPLE SHE MET WITH WERE CLINTON FOUNDATION DONORS! Except that that wasn't remotely true, and it's disappointing to me to see intelligent people here defending it. But such is Clinton Derangement Syndrome.

If you do a FOIA and you don't come up with the goods - as clearly happened with the AP story in question - you have to know when to walk away without an "exclusive." When you find yourself breathlessly reporting that Hillary met with a Nobel Peace Prize winner and was asked to secure a passport for a diplomat who was negotiating a hostage release from North Korea, it's a pretty clear sign that you don't have a story.
