The groups note that during Clinton's tenure as secretary of state, two of her aides -- former Deputy Secretary Tom Nides and former undersecretary Robert Hormats -- received large bonuses, or "golden parachutes," from their Wall Street employers when they left to join Clinton's staff. Nides worked at Morgan Stanley before he joined the State Department, and has since returned; Hormats worked at Goldman Sachs.

Surely the problem isn't the bonuses. It's that Ms. Clinton rewards the banks by installing their lackeys at the highest levels of government.
