More mistruths on the thread (I'm told I can't call them lies, so I won't). Hillary's cattle futures trading was never shown to have any thing wrong with it. The guy who did the trades for Hillary was even investigated, and he was not found to have done anything wrong (I've seen someone on this thread say that the guy was proven to have back-dated transactions at the end of the day so Hillary would benefit, but this is simply a rumor that has refused to die among the right-wing media; in fact it was proven that it was impossible for the guy to have done what he is now accused of). The facts are these: Hillary was looking for a way to make money quickly because she and Bill were strapped for cash. Hillary was referred to a broker by someone at Jim(?) Tyson of Tyson's Chicken, and she invested a small amount of money with the guy who had a sure-fire investment for her in the futures market. She was updated as this guy continually doubled her money and she got out when it hit $100,000. Professional cattle analysts who were consulted confirmed that by a stroke of luck, her money was invested in cattle futures during a period when cattle futures exploded. I don't see how you can make something illegal out of that. But I'm sure you'll all try. Doughboy.
