At her press conference after Hugh's payment was exposed, Hillary, used to separating herself from her husband's recklessness, separated herself from her brother's, doing it so harshly that a friend said, if Hughie were watching, he would be "suicidal." More than the money, what he has always wanted was her praise. At the press conference, she called her campaign treasurer, involved in securing two minor pardons, a "fine lawyer and a fine man."
