Ladies and gentlemen, here is an example of arrogance that deserves the spotlight at tonight’s Democratic debate…

After ABC reported:

One of the pardonees who has become a donor to Sen. Clinton is David Herdlinger, a former prosecutor in Springdale, Ark., who, according to press accounts at the time of his pardon pleaded guilty in 1986 to mail fraud after taking bribes to reduce or drop charges against defendants charged with drunken driving offenses.
Now a life and business coach in Georgia, Herdlinger was pardoned by President Clinton in January 2001; he donated $1,000 to Sen. Clinton’s presidential campaign in August.
Insurance agent Alfredo Regalado, who gave Hillary Clinton $2,000, was pardoned by her husband for failing to “report the transportation of currency in excess of $10,000 into the United States,” according to the Department of Justice…
John Deutch is a different case, having served as President Clinton’s CIA director.
Pardoned by President Clinton for charges he had mishandled government secrets — but before the Department of Justice could file the proper paperwork against him — Deutch, now a professor at MIT, gave Sen. Clinton the maximum allowable donation, $2,300.

The Clinton camp responded:

“We have raised over $65 million from over 200,000 people,” said Clinton campaign manager Howard Wolfson, adding sarcastically, “I appreciate your bringing the instance of this $5,300 and these three people to our attention.”

’We collect money from people who Bill Clinton pardoned? BFD.’ That’s the Clinton motto.

Hynes finds is striking that “Wolfson is so brutally contemptuous of any scrutiny directed at the Clinton campaign’s well-documented moral corner-cutting when it comes to fundraising.” Well, you know, they’re picking on her because she’s a woman, obviously.
