What Hillary Clinton has done--accepting donations from state sponsors of terror and using a personal email address for government business--is unacceptable, regardless of the legality.
It is pretty obvious that accepting donations from state sponsors of terror is a terrible thing to do. It has been argued the money was used for a good cause. Great. It still isn't acceptable. Do the means justify the ends? Further, there is no proof that *all* of the money was used for something good. Some of it may have been pocketed or used for malicious activities. And no, I am not accusing Hillary of supporting nor committing terrorist acts. But the fact is, accepting donations from *known* terrorist supporters is just insane. What's worse is that many of these donations occurred while she was Secretary of State! Just like campaign donations theoretically can cause corruption, this, too, can cause a conflict of interest--not something a Presidential hopeful should go after.
The use of a private email address is probably even more disturbing. If a reporter attempted to get the information of her email account and cited the FOIA, the government would have nothing to give as she was using a private account on a private server. Any investigations will be hampered by her doing this. Does she have anything to hide? The use of a private email is simply unacceptable. Plus, it is probably illegal. According to the Wallstreet Journal, ambassadors have been fired because they did the same thing.
Not to mention Benghazi... It is sad that the Democrats want her to be president...
