So the vice chair of the Vermont Republican Party is the attorney for "Catholic parishioners....." Or are they just Republicans first and parishioners by the by. Hmmm....

Let's say, yes it's fraud, for discussion's sake.

But then we're left with two candidates whose spouses have been or are involved in fraudulent behavior. One while president of a college and one while The President. Where does that leave us---weighing the act's of each and the harm?

Yes, but we also have one of the candidates being investigated to see if her public State office was used to enrich her private Foundation.

Yes I'm a staunch Democrat and will vote for Hillary or Bernie but the choice doesn't become easier to make as the primary season goes on.
