There is no evidence that support your statement, no emails, records, or documents. Contracts were distributed to defense contractors fairly according to the law.

This email scandal keeps getting worse.

There has been nothing but endless scandals, and corrupting with everything the Clintons are involved with.

wow! Most politicians wait until they get elected to start working on big money crony capitalism. Hillary couldn't wait that long after all she expected to be coronated.

Go back further. Do a search for "President Johnson + Vietnam Builders". All his buddies and campaign donors got huge construction contracts to build up the infrastructure in Vietnam.

Oh the irony. Bernie supporters just found out their favorite candidate promising even more government can't get in because big government is inherently too corrupt. So the only thing standing in the way of da guberment corruption is da guberment corruption.

More ironic is Bernie is now supporting corrupt Hillary and the very people who supported Bernie for fighting corruption will follow right into the black hole of corruption.

So, as long as we elect another corrupt democrat and most likely the most corrupt politician in a Century, as opposed to corrupt Bush, we will be good?

You cannot make this stuff up and signifies the destruction of the nation from within, by misinformed and misguided idiots.
