Busted! Clinton tied to secret Wall Street millions

Hillary Clinton has tried to distance herself from the big-money bankers who made her rich through highly paid speaking gigs.
But it looks like her Wall Street pals aren’t going to let her forget where she came from — and it’s going to quickly turn into another scandal for Clinton’s campaign.
In fact, a top investment firm has just paved the way for Clinton’s campaign to quietly reap a fortune from millionaire bankers. The only problem? Everyone figured out what they were up to.
Just last week, Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs sent out a sneakily worded memo that specifically bans employees from donating money to Donald Trump’s campaign.
But there’s no such policy when it comes to Hillary Clinton.
The rules, which took effect September 1, prohibit any of Goldman Sachs’ 467 wealthy partners from donating to “candidates running for state and local offices, as well as sitting state and local officials running for federal office,” POLITICO originally reported.
The bias becomes apparent, not because of Trump or Clinton themselves, but because of their running mates.
The policy specifically applies to Trump running mate and Indiana Governor Mike Pence, but not Clinton running mate, Senator Tim Kaine, as he is not considered a “state or local official” under these rules.
Goldman Sachs’ carefully worded phrasing allows the firm’s partners to donate their Wall Street millions at will to a Clinton/Kaine ticket.

That is why we need to ban attorneys from holding public office.

Yes, I have to agree with you. We have way too many in Washington, plus the lobbyists – can’t get anything done because they are too busy making deals among themselves.
