As corrupt public officials go, Hillary Clinton is in a league of her own. That’s according to a Washington ethics watchdog that just named the Democratic presidential front-runner as the top ethics violator of 2015.

The nonpartisan Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) placed Clinton at the top of its worst ethics violators of 2015 list after finding “overwhelming evidence” she abused her official position as secretary of state.

FACT is calling for various federal investigations into Clinton’s unethical behavior, much of which has been uncovered by the ongoing scandal surrounding her State Department emails.

“Those emails remained hidden from the public until earlier this year when it was discovered that Secretary Clinton conducted government business on her private email server and a judge ultimately ordered that she turn over and the State Department release the emails,” FACT noted in a statement.

FACT believes that some of those recently released communications raise questions about whether Clinton gave special State Department access to a private mining company with ties to her son-in-law,

The watchdog says Clinton has displayed similarly corrupt behavior on the campaign trail.

The group has asked the IRS to investigate whether Clinton violated State Department rules when her family foundation made payments of nearly $350,000 to her failed 2008 campaign to rent Clinton’s email list after she failed to secure the Democratic nomination. At the time of the transactions, Clinton’s State Department position prohibited her from doing certain types of fundraising on behalf of the campaign.

FACT is also requesting the Federal Elections Commission investigate the current Clinton campaign after it received an email list of 4 million potential supporters from a pro-Hillary super PAC. The list, according to FACT, constitutes an in-kind donation, which federal election laws prohibit candidates from accepting directly from PACs.

Clinton’s political corruption could also ensnare top Senate Democrats if FACT is successful in getting the Senate Select Committee to launch an additional investigation into whether Clinton campaign aides conducted political business in official Senate offices where campaign activities are prohibited.

“Elected officials are sent to Washington to follow and uphold the law and so they need to be held to the highest standard of ethics. Even the appearance of impropriety can quickly erode public trust, and Mrs. Clinton is in a league of her own,” said Matthew Whitaker, FACT’s executive director, in a statement.

While Clinton is by far FACT’s most corrupt official of 2015, seven other politicians also made the list for activities that violated the public trust in the past year. They include: Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.); Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.); Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.); failed Senate candidate Joe Sestak, a Pennsylvania Democrat; Rep. Frank Guinta (R-N.H.); Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.); and Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-N.C.).

 

Wonder what DL. will have to say about this?

 

FACT is a conservative "watchdog" group. I'm not dismissing the allegations, but to call it "nonpartisan" is rather disingenuous. You only need to look at the news page to see that. But I suspect none of you care, anyway.

 

Good thing I'm not voting for Hillary...

 

Must i remind you that i do not like either side of the isle, they are all corrupt criminals as far as I am concerned. So i do not have a reason to post anything biased because I am not pulling for anyone at this point.

 

You may not have a any affiliations one way or the other, but the article seems to want to paint this group as unbiased, but everything I've seen about this new group is that they are conservatives with an axe to grind.

 

Oh no! Say it ain't so! Impossible! It can't be. RHM! Vast right-wing conspiracy! Clinton Derangement Syndrome! What else? Help me out here, DL. What other names are you gonna call them during your "attack the messenger" whine-fest? I'm sure you have them in a document so you can just cut & paste them all at once.

No, but really....Hillary? Aw, geez.

 

I didn't know that, nor did i really do any research behind them. I guess you can't trust any group that claims to be unbiased. I personally don't like the hag regardless of party affiliation

 

Could you imagine if her pussy is as nasty as her politics? No wonder bill was looking for something to fuck, christ a lamp post with a hole in it would be looking pretty good.

 

NO, your assumptions do not match the facts.

While Clinton is by far FACT’s most corrupt official of 2015, seven other politicians also made the list for activities that violated the public trust in the past year. They include: Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.); Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.); Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.); failed Senate candidate Joe Sestak, a Pennsylvania Democrat; Rep. Frank Guinta (R-N.H.); Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.); and Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-N.C.).

I guess we can claim that they are in fact ''non-partisan''

 

Five dumbocrates. Three Repugs. Neither side is perfect. As are poles and the groups doing the poles. Everyone has biases. But the Bitch is by far the worst. Had anyone else pulled what she has they would be serving time.

 

True, neither side is perfect.

I was only logically illustrating that FACT is indeed bipartisan.

 

Really? And when was Hillary convicted of anything? They are calling her corrupt based on their opinions. They are biased, but hey, is just my opinion.

 

Find factual evidence, hire a lawyer, and charge her with a crime. If it is that obvious, you'll have no problem convicting her. In the mean time, I'm planning on not voting for her.

 

Err, no. That's not how it works.

 

No, you don't understand. They're talking about POLES. They want to see Hilary strip.

 

That's how it works today, because I said so, because there is evidence dictating that FACT is bipartisan.

FACT is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting accountability, ethics, and transparency in government and civic arenas.

 

35 years ago.......MAYBE!?!??

 

The group was formed in response to liberal groups doing the same thing. But I suppose North Korea is really a Democratic republic, too...right?
