What it seems to say is that Madame Secretary realized she was surrounded by criminals, so she decided the best course of action was to be a criminal herself.
You can listen to an interview about this subject here:

What Ms. Rodham did is the kind of shit which has wrecked this country and our standing in the world.
No more.
Anyone except Hillary in 2016.
Update: Here is a good summary of why the US got involved in Honduras in the first place:
One of the poorest countries in Latin America, Honduras is now also the region's most violent and crime-ridden country. This is, in part, due to its role as a strategically important transit nation for the transnational drug trade, as well as macroeconomic shifts, endemic poverty, corruption, and political turmoil. Estimates vary, but between 140 and 300 tons of cocaine are believed to pass through the country each year.
In recent years, transnational criminal groups, particularly Mexican cartels, have expanded their presence in Honduras. The 2009 coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya and caused international outrage also exacerbated instability in the country. Colombian drug trafficking gangs changed their routes to Honduras just days after the coup and turned it into the principal handover point for cocaine to Mexican cartels.
Do you suppose Ms. Rodham and company get a cut of the proceeds from this trafficking? It would not surprise me.
Like I said before, anyone except Hillary in 2016. Most if not all politicians are crooks, but she sets a new standard for shamelessness.
Second Update: If you'd like to see more dirt on Hillary Rodham, you can find a lot of it here:
