Time To Hold Hillary Accountable
Hillary Clinton has a lot to answer for, particularly if the new standard for investigating a presidential candidate is "it looked suspicious."
To that end, The Hill's John Solomon wants to revisit the Clinton apparatus; from "overt appearance" of 'pay-to-play' plaguing the Clinton Foundation (which saw donations crater by 90% after she lost the 2016 election), to Clinton's ability to "sic the weight of the FBI and U.S. intelligence community on a rival nominee," while simultaneously bankrolling a "foreign-fed, uncorroborated political opposition research document" which was used to both spy on the Trump campaign and harm Donald Trump politically.
And while there are many other "suspicious" Clinton matters one could investigate spanning decades, Solomon focuses on the two most significant and recent examples that probably wouldn't take an honest Special Counsel too long to flush out.
In closing, Solomon has 10 essential questions for Clinton.

Hillary Clinton's Russia Collusion IOU: The Answers She Owes America
During the combined two decades she served as a U.S. senator and secretary of State, Hillary Clinton’s patrons regularly donated to her family charity when they had official business pending before America’s most powerful political woman.
The pattern of political IOUs paid to the Clinton Foundation was so pernicious that the State Department even tried to execute a special agreement with the charity to avoid the overt appearance of “pay-to-play” policy.
Still, the money continued to flow by the millions of dollars, from foreigners and Americans alike who were perceived to be indebted to the Clinton machine or in need of its help.
It’s time for the American public to call in their own IOU on political transparency.
The reason? Never before — until 2016 — had the apparatus of a U.S. presidential candidate managed to sic the weight of the FBI and U.S. intelligence community on a rival nominee during an election, and by using a foreign-fed, uncorroborated political opposition research document.
But Clinton’s campaign, in concert with the Democratic Party and through their shared law firm, funded Christopher Steele’s unverified dossier which, it turns out, falsely portrayed Republican Donald Trump as a treasonous asset colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin to hijack the U.S. election.
Steele went to the FBI to get an investigation started and then leaked the existence of the investigation, with the hope of sinking Trump’s presidential aspirations.
On its face, it is arguably the most devious political dirty trick in American history and one of the most overt intrusions of a foreigner into a U.S. election.
It appears the Clinton machine knew that what it was doing was controversial. That’s why it did backflips to disguise the operation from Congress and the public, and in its Federal Election Commission (FEC) spending reports.
Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) used the law firm of Perkins Coie to hire Glenn Simpson’s research firm, Fusion GPS, which then hired Steele — several layers that obfuscated transparency, kept the operation off the campaign’s public FEC reports and gave the Clintons plausible deniability.
