Hillary will be back on the trail today, but while she was taking
sick time at home she was keeping busy. Like the rest of us, she spent
some time reading
Kurt Eichenwald's article in Newsweek.

| If Donald Trump is elected president, will he and his family
permanently sever all connections to the Trump Organization, a sprawling
business empire that has spread a secretive financial web across the
world? Or will Trump instead choose to be the most conflicted president
in American history, one whose business interests will constantly
jeopardize the security of the United States?
Throughout this
campaign, the Trump Organization, which pumps potentially hundreds of
millions of dollars into the Trump family’s bank accounts each year, has
been largely ignored. As a private enterprise, its businesses, partners
and investors are hidden from public view, even though they are the
very people who could be enriched by—or will further enrich—Trump and
his family if he wins the presidency.
A close examination by
Newsweek
of the Trump Organization, including confidential interviews with
business executives and some of its international partners, reveals an
enterprise with deep ties to global financiers, foreign politicians and
even criminals, although there is no evidence the Trump Organization has
engaged in any illegal activities. It also reveals a web of contractual
entanglements that could not be just canceled. If Trump moves into the
White House and his family continues to receive any benefit from the
company, during or even after his presidency, almost every foreign
policy decision he makes will raise serious conflicts of interest and
ethical quagmires.

Not only did Hillary read this article, she also set to work responding to it using Trump's medium of choice: Twitter.

Looks like Hillary took advantage of the article to do some debate prep!
Here is another reaction to the article from Hillary's website.
“Never before has an American candidate for president had so many financial ties with American allies and enemies.”

This
all demonstrates a quality of Hillary's that we admire and love. She
is assiduous. She perseveres. She persists. She is relentless. It is
awesome to behold! You give her a piece of information like Eichenwald's
exhaustively researched, dense article, and she does not simply digest
it, as many of us did yesterday, she employs it. She manipulates the
material. She turns it into a tool, reorganizes the information, and
reworks it into something of her own - a most effective study
technique. She might have been sick at home, but she sure used her time
efficiently to sharpen up her debate darts. Way to go, Hillary!
