Expose the extreme conflict of interest (on a Cheney/Halliburton/no bid contracts scale)?

Perhaps because Democrat Susan Rice, National Security Advisor, does as well?

FUCK THE CORPORATOCRACY AND ITS PLUTONOMIST SHILLS!

"Hailing her longtime role as a 'trusted adviser,' President Barack Obama formally named U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice as his next national security adviser on Wednesday."

"Potential Secretary of State candidate Susan Rice holds as much as $600,000 of shares in TransCanada, the company seeking State Department approval to build the Keystone XL pipeline."

My point being, the rabbit hole goes far deeper than the supposed "fighting" reveals, so no surprise that it's not being mentioned from those levels of office.
