Is it a flaw of judgement or a flaw of character?

And does it really matter?

Would you trust someone that uses their office to pursue personal vendettas?

Regardless as to whether it was a lapse of reason, (and considering how long the issue was undertaken it can not be called momentary), or a character flaw a person holding public office should be above such petty practices.

They should embody the best qualities we expect a citizen of our country would aspire to embody in public office.

While they have a right to private lives and that privacy ought respected, anything they do while conducting the mandate of the office they are entrusted with should be above reproach in regards to the law and uphold the laws as they applied to that office.

The finding of the inquiry clearly demonstrates that the republican v.p. pick did not apply that ethic to her position.

It is deeply worrying that such a person would seek to position themselves to be in a position to assume the most critical office our nation holds at this most hazardous point in the United States since the Second World War.

Good Grief

This reminds me of the time when Donald Trump declared bankruptcy and the banks his debt was held by paid him more than 100,000.00 a week for 'living expenses' while he recovered.
