Long arm of the law finally reaches Hillary Clinton

Font Size:

Well… sorta. Not really. And it was in England.

Daily Mail:

Hillary Clinton’s security staff got into an argument with a traffic warden after he issued her car with a parking ticket.

The Westminster City Council warden put an £80 penalty notice on the former US secretary of state’s silver Mercedes vehicle in Central London while she was attending an event at Chatham House…

Cllr Daniel Astaire, Westminster City Council cabinet member for business, told MailOnline: ‘Despite our traffic marshal being questioned by the secret service for just doing his job, he was in the right.

‘The former US Secretary of State was parked for nearly 45 minutes without paying. I’m sure she will understand that we have to be fair to everyone, regardless of their status on the world stage.’

I’m sure she won’t.

Is it too much to hope that she fights the ticket, which comes out to about $130? It’d give her another chance to say:

Nah, more likely she’ll just ignore it altogether. Rules and laws are for the little people. At least somebody finally tried to hold her to account for something.
