74. Clinton didn't have any problems with the OIG

Mar 2016

until that office started finding adverse things.

The Clintons do this to themselves, over and over and over again.

They run right up to, or over, the legal/ethical line. Then they have to divert all their resources to full attack mode to survive.

Whatever they were supposed to gain by pushing the legal envelope, is always swamped by the cost of the survival defence when their dubious actions become public.

Nixon said: "I gave them a sword. And they stuck it in, and they twisted it with relish."

sounds like the Clintons.
