That's all fair, but, as I've said elsewhere, I want people to be that much more offended about claims to be immune from bias than about the other sorts of corruption. Basically, I think Hillary's particular corruptions are less outrageous and dangerous than the message that people can be objective and immune to influence.
I think the number one most important lesson we can teach people in life overall is to understand the ways in which we all, as humans, are susceptible to bias. So I see Hillary's claims as an attack on this most fundamentally important principle and thus worse than any of her political dealings otherwise.
