A fanciful trip through imagination

Today I would like to take you on a short trip of imagination. I want you to picture yourself as a business owner in a small business that you started with a friend several years ago. You and your friend are partners with each of you owning 50% of the business.  Since you have the expertise in the business and your partner has a degree in business finance, you have been the one planning and directing projects and your partner has been handling the financial areas of the business. The business has been profitable, but money has always been tight. Both you and your partner have drawn adequate salaries for years, but in the last couple of years you slowly became aware that your partner's standard of living seemed to be a little out of line with the salary he had been drawing. Feeling a little guilty for being suspicious, you nevertheless hired someone to secretly investigate your partner, and you were shocked to discover after an extensive investigation that your partner had been skimming profits and doctoring the company's financial records. Although you can be certain that he has stolen money from the company, you can't be sure just how much. You are a little unsure how to proceed because your investigator has told you that your partner has been very skillful with his financial manipulations and with the lies he has told to cover his trail. Prosecution will probably be very difficult. Today, your partner has approached you with a business proposition whereby the two of you may start another business. He has painted a glowing picture of how well the two of you can do in the new business, and is looking for you to make a substantial investment in setting up the business soon.
Now I want to ask you a simple question. Will you give your partner this large sum of money to start another business with him? Oh, by the way, he will handle all of the financial aspects of the new business. If you have answered that you will give him the money, don't bother to read the rest of this post.
Any reasonable person should dump the partner and initiate whatever process is available to recover the money he has already stolen, right? Any reasonable person should want to steer clear of any further business involvement because the partner has proven himself to be a liar and a thief, right?
I have one final question. Because of Hillary's actions, people died in Benghazi, right? For political reasons, Hillary told the public that the Benghazi attack happened because of a film, which she knew was a lie, right? The lie was exposed by her emails to her family stating that the attack was a terrorist attack, right? Hillary lied when she said that none of her emails on her private server was classified, right? Hillary lied when she said that she only deleted personal emails, right? Hillary claims to support women's rights while accepting 10's of millions of dollars of donations from countries with the worst possible history of abuses against women, right? Here is the last question. Given that Hillary has a history of lying about so many things, how can any reasonable person put any trust into anything that she says? How can anyone believe that anything she says during the campaign has any bearing on what she will actually do if she is elected/
