Sen. Bernie Sanders has a problem. With Hillary Clinton.
Asked about the Clinton Foundation, yesterday, by CNN’s Jake Tapper, host of State of the Union, Bernie re-questioned himself:
Do I have a problem when a sitting secretary of state and a foundation run by her husband collects many millions of dollars from foreign governments, governments which are dictatorships?
And Bernie answered, “Yeah, I do.”
How many roads must mainstream media reporters walk down before they investigate and report on the myriad of ethical cracks in the Clinton Foundation?
To the most obvious conflict of interest in the history of the human race, add the fact that even after promising President Obama that the Clinton Foundation would at least be totally transparent with an annual report of all donations . . . well, Hillary welched on the deal, not revealing the donors.
While Bernie’s condemnation of Hillary’s ethical shortcomings was big news, less reported were the senator’s comments regarding whether Mrs. Clinton is “too quick on the draw, too eager to use military force.”
Bernie again was clear: “I worry about that. Yeah, I do. Her support for the War in Iraq was not just an aberration.” Sanders went on to cite Secretary of State Clinton’s role in pushing President Obama to overthrow Gaddafi in Libya and to intervene in Syria.
Hillary’s judgment on issues of war and peace is questionable . . . especially when we don’t know whether or not a foreign leader or his cronies have written big checks to the Clinton Foundation.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

“Yes, Hillary Clinton is an arrogant, boring, cynical, dishonest, entitled, favor-trading, greedy, hypocritical, inconsistent, joyless, Leftist, Machiavellian, nasty, overbearing, power-hungry, queen-like, ruthless, shameless, tired, untrustworthy, vain, Washington-insider embodiment of the status quo who doesn’t stand for anything that isn’t focus-group approved or that wouldn’t line her and her husband’s pockets.

That this question is being asked indicates that Hillary’s judgment isn’t the only one that is questionable. The media has failed the American people. Time for all of us to admit it.
We the people have failed in our duty as citizens by accepting goodies from government in return for our votes. We have the government we deserve.
I have had zero care about what the media says or does since the first campaign of Barack Obama. The slobbering love affair that they carried on across every media platform; ignoring obvious problems like no experience, Rev Wright, plus his own writings indicating what his “hope & change” would be.
I don’t feel let down by them. Journalism for the most part is thinly veiled opinion & mostly sound-byte entertainment. And unfortunately in the days of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc, news is pablum to be retweeted, reposted, liked etc.
To report or investigate Mrs. Clinton & the Foundation would require more then 140 characters.
Mr. Sanders interview yesterday was powerful & I hope that some people truly heard it.
Hillary isn’t the only one in power who is running out of lie space. As we learn how universally government-official corruption has diminished our republic, we must be prepared as people to form independent grand juries and bring indictments. This reclamation of the grand jury power at all levels is going to be a mammoth 24/7 undertaking… considering the backlog. http://brianrwright.com/Independents/Previews/TP_11_Grand_Jury.pdf.
