CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: Hillary Clinton is not the only Democrat facing legal problems this cycle.

Hillary Clinton’s email probe and Donald Trump’s university trial might be getting more coverage, but another candidate faces her own legal problems this election cycle.

Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., will face a civil trial during the campaign season for allegedly retaliating against whistleblowers during her service as head of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. A judge just set a tentative trial date for August.

Duckworth’s campaign has called the lawsuit “politically motivated,” but the case is actually seven years old, and was originally brought by a state civil servant with more than two decades on the job at a time when Duckworth was not running for office. State attorneys representing Duckworth and the agency have argued that Duckworth fired Christine Butler, who had worked for the state for 22 years, because of “insubordination,” and not as punishment for complaining about a supervisor who was violating procedure. Duckworth was told she needed to follow disciplinary procedures in order to fire someone, so she reprimanded Butler and suspended her with pay.

Human resources secretary Denise Goins, who is also part of the lawsuit, said her complaints about the same supervisor were brushed aside. Duckworth allegedly told Goins to “do your job and keep your mouth shut.”

Dems are always telling people to shut up.
