We know what you were implying and its a stupid claim backed by zero facts.

How many corporate speeches have you been to? None and because your world experience is lacking in that area you let your weak mind be manipulated to thinking that something common and non trivial is actually part of some nefarious act.

Once again, ignorance trumps reality.

And you are in fact the ignorant one as you know Nothing about me.

I think everyone here knows you like starting BS and basically trolling than having any kind of discussion.

Seems you just hang out to stir up shit for your personal satisfaction.

“It seems like the Clinton Foundation operates as a slush fund for the Clintons,” said Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, a government watchdog group where progressive Democrat and Fordham Law professor Zephyr Teachout was once an organizing director.

Their 2013 Tax Form 990 shows that the Clintons used the money raised by the foundation to pay for their travel expenses, which included "travel by charter or in first class."

In 2015, $1 million out of Bill and Hillary's $1,042,000 in charitable deductions was due to the Clinton Family Foundation.

"The Clintons get nothing from the foundation except free travel on chartered jets and first-class airline seats and hotel stays and, oh yes, control over a giant operating budget to steer to the charities and good causes that they prefer,"

You do know that the Clinton foundation is not the same as the Clinton family foundation right?

Of course you don't. Thanks for yet another one of your bullshit posts😉

Not by a long shot.

You normally do not post an opinion, just a bunch of empty abusive conjecture.

He projects his shitty negativist attitude onto the rest of the world. No answers, just complaints & accusations.

It's never about the better choice but about the lesser evil.
 
I hate both candidates, but from what I've see of the emails in question, it looks like they cherry-picked a lot of that info and tied to together to paint a picture of corruption. Crap like that makes it difficult to get a straight story on Clinton (and to a lesser degree, Trump- but he pretty much just plain puts his foot in his mouth on a daily basis...no need to dig anything up).
 
At least she finally acknowledged there is smoke, but of course no fire. When will she learn that the smoke is the reason people dont trust her. Perception is everything.

That's quite nefarious. Bill Clinton founds a charity, contributes millions of dollars. As its head, he travels to conferences & fund raisers to expand its work, donates a substantial amount of time & effort as well. He's wildly successful doing so, directing billions to efforts helping people all over the world.

There's no functional difference between donating less to pay his own expenses & donating more so that the charity can pay them for him. It may actually provide a slightly larger amount of money to the charity because of tax considerations.

I suppose she could have devised a way to make sure nobody was able to email them asking for favors...
 
The optics aren't good, many are calling for the various non profits to be shut down or transferred to another group, like the Gates Foundation, to preclude any further claims of pay for play. I really think that would be the best thing right now.

So it's the new ACORN?

Repubs can create bad optics simply by putting a shit stained frame around anything they want.

It's not just the republicans, it just looks bad, she has a 95% chance of winning, why not shut it down or transfer it now? Preclude any more drama? It's the right thing to do.

If only there were laws, guidelines or just common sense around transparency, official records retention and what constitutes ethical conduct or conflict of interest when acting in an official government capacity

There were and she followed them. Hence the reasons for her not being charged with any crime.

Bullshit. The Clinton Foundation does good work all over the world. The organization has ongoing commitments to do more of the same. That shouldn't be curtailed to bow to scurrilous innuendo & accusations dreamed up by the right wing noise machine & trumpeted by a sensationalist & irresponsible media.

Should Hillary be elected, it's obvious that the Senior Clintons should disconnect from the foundation other than donating to it. That doesn't mean Chelsea shouldn't continue that work or that the foundation should cease to exist.

Did GHWB give up his position at the Carlyle Group when his son was Prez? No. And there it is.
