The comparison between Ford and Redford is thin, because Ford directly had a conflict of interest and Redford had a perceived conflict. One is against the rules, and one is just poor judgement.
That doesn't excuse what Redford did, and it does reflect poorly upon her, but I don't think that the cries of corruption etc that are coming from the WRP faithful in this thread are really justified.

Oh please, the only distinction is a slight difference in wording of the law. Any rational person can understand the central issues are very similar. One person is fired for conflict of interest related to raising $3000.00 for charity and one person is not in conflict of interest for granting their ex-husband a multi-million dollar business opportunity.
