21. Unfortunately, I have to admit, it showed extremely poor judgement unbecoming of an Attorney General

Although Bill Clinton as a former president, carries much of the blame for putting the Attorney General in such a terrible position, she was duty bound to respond in a way becoming of her office. And she failed miserably. I'm black, and I take a tremendous amount of pride in her being the first black female Attorney General, but this was a devastating career altering failure. There was talk of her being nominated to the Supreme Court. I'm sure Obama won't fire her for this lapse in judgement because it doesn't rise to that level, but its a terrible stain on what I've heard was a brilliant career. And only if Hillary Clinton is elected can she help minimize the blowback to her career in government. I'm sure she will do extremely well in the private sector....but AG is probably where her career ends in government. Unless she runs for some type of elected office of course.
