    Have the Clinton loyalists screaming "no evidence of quid pro quo!" ever studied the basics of how government corruption functionally works?

        You almost never have direct, explicit evidence of quid pro quo. If that were the bar to be met, virtually no politician would be implicated

        Bob McDonnell was convicted and prosecuted on "quid pro quo" charges despite the lack of direct, causal evidence showing a "quo" for "quid"

        SCOTUS later overturned the conviction, but that's not the point. Pundits should talk to experts like @ZephyrTeachout before spouting off.

        This is why many wanted Bernie: supporting him did not require endless, convoluted rationalizations for why he's #actually not corrupt

        Of course they have. Go back two years to what they were writing about Citizens United.

        No. No they haven't. They have also never looked at the usual guidelines for setting up a private foundation.
