A newspaper is reporting that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton have been renovating a house they bought next to their suburban New York home without obtaining several required permits. The contractor was under pressure to finish the job by Thanksgivings and did not get the permits required. |
| Her Highness Hillary thinks she's above the laws which were written for the little people. Way high above. |
| It's the contractor's job to pull the permits. |
Except when your boss is Hillary, your job is to obey. Her. |
+1. There is no way Hillary is in the weeds on permit pulling in the middle of a presidential campaign. |
+10,000 I suppose OP is also upset about the hundreds of contractors and small businesses that Trump has stiffed. |
You fail to see the difference between a businessman (however crooked) and a PAID-By-Taxpayers public servant. |
HRC wanted the job to finish by Thanksgiving no matter what. |
Hillary wasn't renovating this house in her capacity as a public official, she was renovating it in her personal capacity. Further, that businessman is asking us to make him a paid-by-taxpayers public servant, so I think it's entirely appropriate to view his past conduct (that he has defended) through the lens of whether we think it reflects the proper character and temperament for a public servant. |
An honest, law-abiding contractor will follow the law and pull the required permits, regardless of what the customer wants. If the customer demanded that the contractor break the law, he could have declined the project. But we're apparently not dealing with an honest and law-abiding contractor (since he didn't do these things), which inherently makes his efforts to deflect blame suspect. |
Lol Guard house Such assholes |
Yeah Let's blame everyone but the Clintons. bc that's how you all roll |
| Nobody in my neighborhood pulls permits. |
Yeah. How dare they make a place where the Secret Service would be more comfortable instead of forcing them to sit in a car for hours at a time. How thoughtless and greedy of them. |
Yeah. Let's look at the options: 1) in the middle of a Presidential campaign, a couple that is more investigated and maligned by a segment of the government and media than just about anyone in history goes looking for a contractor who will do unpermitted work, just hoping that no one will find out from searching public records, or 2) the contractor elects not to pull the permits because it'll save him some money and some time. I know which one I think is more likely. |
