Barack Obama
As the investigation into former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton grows President Barack Obama has lent an air of suspicion to it, in refusing to release emails between the two. America is supposed to operate on a system of checks and balances and government transparency. Yet here we have it, President Obama is hiding emails between himself and Clinton, giving an air of illegality to their conduct. Obama's spokesman states the emails will be released several years from now. However, much of the illegal dealings in Washington occurs face to face.
