Panetta somehow defends Clinton Foundation-State Department relationship
[POLITICO] Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
...current SecDef, previously Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Panetta served as President Bill Clinton's White House Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997 and was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993....
 on Sunday defended Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Condoleezza Rice ...
’s State Department from accusations it had an improper ties to the Clinton Foundation.

"That's something that, obviously, will continue the be looked at," Panetta said, before waving it off as typical networking. "Staff people trying to make connections in Washington is a pretty prevalent behavior by most people in Washington."
The man is a professional. Don't try this at home...
The criticism comes after emails released last week through a lawsuit by the conservative Judicial Watch appeared to show a Clinton Foundation executive asking for favors from State Department aides. And Clinton's Republican rival, Donald Trump, and his campaign indicated the emails exposed a "pay-to-play" culture in the State Department under Clinton’s watch, but didn't point to specific decisions made in return for money or favors.

"The question is, whether anything was done in return for that kind of donation," Panetta said. "And, as far as I know, nobody's been able to pin down that that actually happened."

Panetta, who was CIA director before he moved to the Pentagon, wrote off the criticism as "politics," but said that Clinton should "acknowledge the mistakes that have been made and to then move on."
Of course Panetta defends her. He along with former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morrel are executive members of former Clinton advisor Phil Reines' 'Beacon Global Strategies Group.' This is the Clinton safe house for everyone involved in Benghazi.
