Yes, I'm confident they were "legitimate" businessmen.

So, she saved the taxpayers some money?

Yes Shades, taking illegal contributions is saving the taxpayers money. Just think how much more money could be saved if we did everything illegally.

While one notices the difference between an ethical violation and a criminal one...and noting that the Libtards among us will have already assumed her guilt and proclaim her some sort of rape-enabler....please note from the OP article (a rather cherry picked view):
"Haley’s resignation is seemingly unrelated to the ethics complaint."

Note also - "[She] quickly threw cold water on any speculation that she will challenge Trump in 2020. Haley said she will support his re-election bid.
..
Haley on Tuesday also brushed aside any speculation she would challenge Republican U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of Seneca in 2020."


In her Oct. 3 resignation letter to Trump, Haley wrote that — between serving in the S.C. House, Governor’s Mansion and U.S. Ambassador’s Office — she has held public office for 14 straight years.

“As a businessman, I expect you will appreciate my sense that returning from government to the private sector is not a step down but a step up,” she wrote.

GOP observers say joining the private sector now is a smart move for Haley, who, having spent most of her career in public office, has little money to spend on an election.


Way too much article talking about how she won't be seeking a future office....balderdash! She could beat Elizabeth Warren like a rug!

I mean. Why not? She stated something, and I can't see any reason to question her narrative. She's pretty credible, what with being the UN ambassador and all.

Aren't you the guy who complains about strawman reasoning a lot? That's you, right?

What are you talking about? I believe her. If there's anything the last three weeks taught me is I should just take a woman's word when she asserts something. I found her to be very credible.

Wow. #hypocritemuch?

Doc, I don’t think you’re mirroring technique works unless you accurately mirror the other guy’s argument. At best, you’re mirroring an extreme position that I haven’t seen anyone argue here. I get that you consider it performance art, but Strawman Kabuki isn’t particularly convincing.

What exactly am I parodying when reality itself has become a parody of reality?

Anyway. Whatever the case may be. I'm a bit astonished that the #patriarchy here on MDB once again disbelieves a woman, a credible woman at that. It's very disheartening.
