Look Who Just Got Named “Worst Ethics Violator of 2015”
A Washington-based think tank called The Foundation for Accountability and Government Trust just released its end of the year list for Worst Ethics Violators — and you will never guess who took the top spot.
Well, maybe you will.
According to the list, Hillary Clinton ran away with the top prize for her behavior throughout 2015, according to Breitbart.
From her special favor for her son-in-law’s friend over at Goldman Sachs, to her potentially illegal coordination with the Ready for Hillary Super PAC, Clinton clearly came out on top. Or, er, bottom. Whatever.
FACT even decided to throw some icing on her victory cake.
The organization filed a complaint with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics regarding Clinton’s State Department favor for her son-in-law and his buddy.

FACT’s list of ethical violations wasn’t aimed only at Democrats; it was a nonpartisan effort. Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) and Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) showed up on the list as well for their respective ethical mishaps.
FACT executive director Matthew G. Whitaker explained in a statement that, “Elected officials are sent to Washington to follow and uphold the law and so they need to be held to the highest standard of ethics.”
He noted that even the appearance of impropriety can quickly erode public trust. Clinton took the top spot because she continually violates ethics codes as well as appearing to violate them when questioned about her behavior.
She rarely does much to try to clear her reputation without taking it down further.
