There are not only current potential indictments that we know about but there may be some we don't know about. There may be a transaction by transaction investigations of her's and Bill's speeches, their "foundation" and ties to decisions made while she was Secretary of State such as the Swiss bank UBS situation.

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/07/hillary-helps-a-bankand-then-it-pays-bill-15-million-in-speaking-fees/400067/

The bottom line is there are too many risks for her getting elected let alone being allowed to govern due in large part to her's and Bill's actions. Is it true they registered corporations in Delaware? If they did, the only reason one does that unless they live in Delaware is to evade and/or avoid something.

In my naivete, I never realized just how many are either bought and paid for OR are too in love with their power, or checkbook, or notoriety, or the exciting life, OR.. whatever it happens to be...

I have a friend who is a concert violinist, young, has a very successful international concert schedule but is not recognized as one of the top 10-15 current violinists by TPTB..not yet, anyway..She is the greatest violinist I have ever heard,, in 60 years....But she refuses to play the game to get there. She does it her way.
Her father told her to always be honest with herself and the music. It is the music, the people she plays for and the people with whom she performs that count. Not the money, the fame.....
I am going to South Korea next week to hear her. She is that good.

Bernie Sanders reminds me of her.

Rangel was fine with Bill Clinton's racist rant to BLM.after that he campagined with him.But,then again he was fine with Clinton's
rasim against Obama till it was clear race was going in obama's direction

Black dems like him only care about corporate money not black lives.
