Compare Hillary’s great résumé to Trump’s shady deals

My conservative friend says to me, “You have to admit, Hillary is the most corrupt person ever to run.”

My response to him is, nine Republican Congressional investigations on Benghazi produced, she passed on President Obama’s message. She easily passes an FBI investigation on her emails, and it now turns out Colin Powell advised her to use a private server.

The narrative put out by the entire conservative press, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News has her already convicted her. I asked my friend, doesn’t FBI and Congressional investigations, where facts are scrutinized and judged by people with law degrees, matter more than accusations by a biased press?

Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump used to be big fans of hers. Read her résumé of accomplishments, health care for children, taking care of New York City after 9/11, and improving education in Arkansas. Is this the resume of a crook? Now compare hers to Trump’s and his multitude of lawsuits for shady business dealings and “I alone can fix America” rhetoric.
