Again, this was a fair and tough question, but once again she avoided asking Hillary the same type of questions. She didn’t ask her about her attempts to defame travel office employees, institute false criminal actions against Bobby Dale so her cronies could be put in and why she appointed Craig Livingstone as head of the White House Security, or anything about the missing Whitewater.

They hide negative stories that surface regarding the Democratic Party, yet are quick to release damaging stories and allegations surrounding the Republican Party. ...
