State Department will not review Clinton ethics pledge breaches

(Reuters) - The U.S. State Department will not review the breaches of the 2008 ethics agreement Hillary Clinton signed in order to become secretary of state after her family's charities admitted in March that they had not complied, a spokesman said on Thursday.

Clinton, now the Democratic front-runner in the 2016 presidential election, had promised the federal government that the Clinton Foundation and its associated charities would name all donors annually while she was the nation's top diplomat.

She also promised that the charities would let the State Department's ethics office review beforehand any proposed new foreign governments donations.

In March, the charities confirmed to Reuters for the first time that they had not complied with those pledges for most of Clinton's four years at the State Department.

The State Department "regrets" that it did not get to review the new foreign government funding, but does not plan to look into the matter further, spokesman Jeff Rathke said on Thursday.

"The State Department has not and does not intend to initiate a formal review or to make a retroactive judgment about items that were not submitted during Secretary Clinton's tenure," Rathke told reporters.

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

I'm surprised! Two of the biggest most corrupt and criminal politicians in American history who probably have enough dirt on each other for mutual assured destruction.

There is nothing more dangerous out there for a government that has gone to rampant corruption while a press on ALL sides just takes it in as another day of news. It just means the end of America.

so there's no less or more dangerous corruption than tax evasion and ethnics violation? really?

i understand what you're trying to say, and i agree, that the government is out of control and it's not about the 'we the people' anymore...

but lets be real here, rape scandals, murder and drug corruption by the government would be way worse than tax evasion and ethnics violations...

and that's no make pretend, it's very real...

Its' the "Broken Windows" theory of governance, Justice; if you don't deal with illegalities as they come along, things can get progressively worse as time goes along.
