And guess who swept in to help get Silsby off the hook? None other than Hillary Clinton herself.

This is actually not true. If you actually look into this you will not be able to find a source that says this. Most reports about this are from terrible news sources and cite a source that never mentions Hillary Clinton.

One of the links I include in that section as a source is the paper from Harvard that another commenter mentioned. It goes into more detail regarding the Silsby case and Clinton's connction to it.

Yea, that's the source I'm talking about. Here's what I wrote about it before:

This is a bad source, it is written in a confusing way and doesn't properly cite it's sources. This is from the first link:

A Harvard Law School Journal article titled Owning Laura Silby’s Shame claims that getting Silsby off the hook was one of the first things Clinton did after arriving on the scene in Haiti.

The link that it cites doesn't mention this at all. But if you go to the source it says it's citing (the harvard article) it reads:

In the course of a month, President Clinton brokered the release of all the missionaries, except for the group leader, Laura Silsby.

If you end up going to the harvard article (which is what most of the sources cite which claim hillary helped silsby) do me a favor and Ctrl-F "hillary". I can't find a source that supports what you're saying.

Thanks for sharing, that's helpful! I will look into it and edit the piece if necessary.
