I Can See How It Would Get Overlooked

When you're taking in literally billions of dollars from many different foreign governments, it's just too hard to keep track of when  a little half a million dollar bribe donation is legal ethical and when it's not:

Jane Harman Guesses $500000 Unreported Donation to Clinton’s Got Lost In System

Former Congresswoman Jane Harman (D-CA) takes a “guess” on Fox News Sunday, that the unreported $500,000.00 Algerian donation to the Clinton Foundation “got lost in the system,” and was never submitted to the State Department for approval. Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State at the time, and the buck would have, or should have, stopped at her desk for final approval, had it been questionable, which it surely was. Political candidates are not allowed to take money from foreign governments. Algeria is “foreign,” is 99 percent Sunni Muslim with 99 percent Berber/Arab ancestry. She was not a political candidate, at the time, you are saying? Hillary Clinton has been a political candidate since she followed Bill into the White House in January 1993.

CHRIS WALLACE: Congresswoman Harman, does that bother you at all. Are you at all troubled by  these donations going to the Clinton Foundation?

JANE HARMAN: Uh, yes. Uh, there was a process set up. All other contributionswere reviewed, as I understand it–there was transparency. This was an unsolicited contribution of $500,000.00 at a time when the U.S. deluged with help from Haiti. I guess it got lost in the system. I think it needs to be explained. I don’t understand why the money wasn’t returned, or in some way, after-the-fact approval wasn’t sought, but I assume the Foundation will explain it.

The bad news is that the Clinton family business is run not very far off the Mafia model, and she is currently an odds on favorite to be the next President (and shockingly, she might still be an improvement).

The good new is that Maggie from Maggie's Notebook is back after a long break due to family issue.
