Oh, I just can't believe that Hilary hasn't been forthright and truthful! 
BMT you are a hound dog! You seem to sniff this "interesting information" out the minute it hits the news wires (or before).

Um, wasn't there some kind of Real Estate thing, uh, Whitewater, or something like that? And some odd legal stuff at her law firm? Or was that just my imagination playing tricks on me?

And I thought that attorneys were taught to double check everything, to dot every I and cross every T!

According to her spin doctors it is nothing more than a mere oversight. It is amazing that someone as smart as the Clinton's can be so damned forgetful at times. What is truly amazing is that their memories only crap out when it benefits them directly.

Failure to disclose
She failed to disclose a pertinent involvment with a foundation, she and her husbund were able to write off over $5 million in taxable income, but just amending the documents was good enough for the Clinton camp ? 
In my industry, I would have been packing up my personal belongings once the SEC and our compliance officer discovered the "over sight" Failure to disclose out side activities that involve financial doings, foundations, Charities, etc is cause for dismissal and a bad U-5 report upon departure from the firm.
Only the Clintons can get away with this shit, and you and I have to suffer consequences.
I believe the Clintons are the current generations "Sacred Cows" from Camelot.

Can't be from Camelot. Bill Clinton can't fight (joust); he can only screw!

So they "seeded" the charity with over $5 million, they've written off over $5 million in taxes, and the charity has only dispersed $1.25 million? I wonder what the "operating costs" for their charity is, percentage-wise?

503C organizations like charities and foundations, churches also are exempt from taxation, however with charities and foundations most of the money taken in has to be dispersed for charitable cause. IIRC 70% of donated moneys have to placed philantrhopically.
I'd be interested in where the remaining moneys are ? Are they invested with an Investment advisory service? sitting in an interest bearing account with checking and debit card privileges ? If not invested, and now by the complete approval a board of trustees, then they are simply crooks and stealing this money. If there any wonder why it was not disclosed ?
In this case, it seem the Clintons should be further examined for tax fraud.

I am not surprised that they would try it, but it does strike me as curious that two alleged attorneys would not see the peril in claiming charitable donations which did not occur.
Of course, after Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm billing, and Hillary's miraculous profits in livestock trading, perhaps they really do believe that they are above the law.
It does astound me that the biggest proponents of higher taxes, income redistribution, socialism, entitlement programs, and class warfare, like the Klintons and John Edwards (who IIRC established himself as an S Corp to shield his income from taxes so that he could build a palatial estate) seem to be the quickest to make dubiously legal efforts to dodge their current obligations and who are the least willing to pay what they really owe, despite their riches.

At this point they are. Bill is like the teflon Don. Now any time either does something illegal they cry about it being a vast right wing conspiracy and hide behind their legions of legal beagles. Everyone knew that they were dirty as hell and they both walked away from the experience with multi million dollar book deals where they could cry about how persecuted they were.

How can a person who said "I cannot recall that" or "I have no recollection of that" as many times as they have under oath get a multi-million dollar book deal to tell all about what happened?
Did they take a memory improvement course or have repressed memories?
