Some of us really don't want to hear the press ask over and over and over and over again about the e mails and the Clinton Foundation. If you'd ask other questions instead of beating the dead horse GOP talking points, it might be worth it.

Many of us do though.
Or if this admin. would be more transparent.

Having politicos spar over ethics and corruption is like having lions spar over meat eating. what's the point, they are all to some extent part of the same system that allows this type of cronyism and insiderism and self serving political and financial arrangements.

The point is yes that it was tolerated far too long in the media but they are no longer quite as slavishly making up excuses for the things she did (or didn't do), drawing false-parallels and sweeping mountains of scandal under the rug. After years and years of lawsuits and State Dept stonewalling in and out of court to preserve the schedule and emails of a public servant information is starting to finally seep out that fits no one’s definition of transparent government.

Clinton Foundation Official Requests State Lunch Invitation, Special Seating for Foundation Allies
A series of newly released State Department emails obtained by ABC News offers fresh insight on direct contact between the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton's inner circle while she was Secretary of State.
The emails -– released as part of a public records lawsuit by conservative group Citizens United and shared exclusively with ABC -- reveal what the group claims is new evidence Foundation allies received special treatment.
In one December 2010 email chain with Clinton's closest aide Huma Abedin, then-top Clinton Foundation official Doug Band offers names for a State Department lunch with Chinese President Hu Jintao scheduled for January 2011.

Didn`t Trump have problems of his own with overseas donors? Will they be expecting access?

He actually did something entirely illegal, by actively soliciting donations from overseas governments.
For some reason it hasn't been brought up as an issue that much.

Maybe because he brought on a new management team. I haven't heard anything about a criminal complaint since.
A Realist
Live and learn, I had no idea there were any ethics in the world of politics. I thought corruption and peddling influence was the name of the game.
