Another perk for Hillary at State: A campaign bailout!

If Clinton remained in the Senate, she could “just keep reporting the debt and whittling away at it as she can,” said former FEC commissioner David Mason.

“But if she does go to the State Department, obviously that’s off the table, so she may have more incentive to get the debt taken care of right away,” he said, though he stressed that Clinton could petition the FEC for debt settlement regardless of whether she takes a Cabinet post.
