In a keynote speech given to the Charleston NAACP, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton accidentally said presidents shouldn’t have to disclose their criminal history when applying for a job.
As part of Clinton’s criminal justice reforms, she supports “banning the box,” meaning the box former criminals have to check on a job application acknowledging they committed a misdemeanor or felony. But as she was articulating that stance to her audience Friday, she made a verbal slip-up.
“Earlier today, I announced that as president, I will take steps to ban the box, so former presidents won’t have to declare their criminal history at the very start of the hiring process,” she said. “That way, they’ll have a chance to be seen as more than just someone who’s done time.”
Clinton of course meant “former prisoners“. But the gaffe was amusing nonetheless, given the current FBI investigation circling around the presidential candidate’s private email server. But it could have just as easily been an accidental barb at George W. Bush‘s drunk driving charge or Barack Obama‘s cocaine use.

LOL… the box is overkill.
Every last one of them is a criminal, so there’s hardly any need for them to state it on any ‘form’.
Not that it would impede the (s)election process in any way, though, if they did.
funny thing…she didn’t even realize what she said hahaha…Freudian slip I think they call it
For politicians, a criminal history, whether known or unknown, is a prerequisite for consideration to run for office by the elite political class. Otherwise, the puppet masters have nothing to hold against them
You are perfectly correct. I try to explain this to people and they don’t get it. This is why there are over 2000 pedo’s at the pentagon. This is why the UK gov’t allowed all of their pedo’s to stay in office for 20 years, THEY CAN BE STEERED. Hillary knows where all of the bones are buried. She is a top asset that would never drop cover for drug importation, heroine, coke, etc. She knows legalization would put the 4 horseman out of business and out of power, and that’s what the whole game is, POWER. These people have trillions of dollars, they print their own money! What are they going to do with it, buy Jupiter? It’s control and power.
You need two things to make Cocaine. Acetone and acetate. Exxon just ships it down to S. America by the tanker. No where else in the world in these massive volumes is this done, gee, I wonder what their doing with it? Wall street is propped up by the drug trade, without it, the banking families lose control over you, and the FED to some degree.
