Whoever heard of getting paid to campaign for public office? Apparently, it’s OK if your last name is Clinton.
A review of Clinton campaign expenditures revealed that the former secretary of state’s campaign paid her a cool quarter million dollars since she announced her candidacy last April, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
What, is she dead broke again already? It’s like paying someone to show up for job interviews, which is basically what a political campaign is.
The Free Beacon, followed soon by Fox News, tweeted:

They set off an avalanche of replies, and sent social media into a feeding frenzy.
@FreeBeacon @JoeSchoffstall Sounds illegal to me. But we’re talking about Clintons. Laws don’t apply.

@FreeBeacon @JoeSchoffstall And there’s nothing illegal about this? Or will she say it’s out of “convenience”?
