Hillary Clinton has taken months to decide whether to return monies raised by a Chicago business under investigation for serial sexual harassment of female employees. Does she need the money, or is Bill applying for a job there?
Dan Curry has the story at Reverse Spin:
According to a Judicial Watch blog posting last month, Clinton is still deciding whether to return more than $150,000 from executives at International Profit Associates based in Buffalo Grove, Il., a Chicago suburb.
Hillary said the same thing last year when the New York Times profiled IPA's founder John Burgess, a man with a long checkered past, including a disbarment, an attempted grand larceny conviction, a guilty plea for patronizing a 16-year-old prostitute and a continuing trail of fraud allegations by clients of his business.Also pending against IPA is the largest sexual harassment action ever by the Chicago office of the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. According to the Chicago Tribune, the complaint alleges that 50 male employees including Burgess harassed 101 female employees. Oprah Winfrey had some of those women on her show last year to talk about the allegations.
Read it all at the link above. Hillary not only gets away with this charade about the donations, she also receives the unqualified endorsement of the National Organization for Women, which apparently doesn't care about such details.
