Clinton Foundation to stop foreign and Corp donations if elected

[UglyCasanova]

The Clinton Foundation doesn't engage in political spending...

Quite the opposite, the optics are they engage in political receiving. Donations for favors. Where there's smoke...well...

I wouldn't dream of depriving you of the right to search it out. Hint: It's been quoted and discussed in these forums. It's also been quoted in numerous media outlets when the Clinton Family Foundation refiled its government filings from zero to millions - after one news group started putting two and two together and not getting zero. Now go get 'em!

Dude, quit hiding the ball. I just googled around quite a bit, read about 10 different articles on the controversies surrounding the Foundation, and I couldn't find what you are alleging. So why don't you just go ahead and provide a link?

Yeh, where there's crop circles there's ...aliens, right?

If you can't find it, understand that you are internally biased so much that trivially easy research on Hillary has become impossible for you to do.

I'll pull the articles from lefty media, . There are far more damning viewpoints from the middle and right.

WaPo :
Foreign governments gave millions to foundation while Clinton was at State Dept.

Salon :
The cash donations Hillary simply has no answer for

International Business Times:
Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department


From the WaPo article :

The Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, including one donation that violated its ethics agreement with the Obama administration, foundation officials disclosed Wednesday.

So, all but one donation was approved in the agreement made when Clinton became SoS, a contribution from Algeria used for Haitian relief efforts. The donations were pledged before she became SoS. So wah. It's hard to represent that as a massive lie when it wasn't.

Arms Sales? Those sales had to be approved by a plethora of federal agencies. not just the State dept.

You got nuthin' but raving.

According to the Citizens United ruling, unless there is proven explicit quid pro quo, there is not just no corruption, there is not even appearance thereof.

Greenwald, as usual on point.

Yup. Even setting aside that these have been linked here before, there is no way that anyone with an IQ even approaching the lower limit of room temperature can honestly search for the story and not find it. The only possible explanation is that Hillary's supporters prefer this sort of government, by unaccountable executives working in the shadows and telling us whatever they wish to tell us.

Hillary claimed that the oft-renamed Clinton Family Foundation would accept no donations from foreign governments, corporations, and businessmen while she was serving as SecState, to avoid the appearance of corruption. The Clinton Family Foundation's filings reflected this promise: No such donations had ben accepted. After her term ended, the mainstream media began to investigate and lo and behold, found millions. By the very purest of coincidences, a Clinton Family Foundation internal audit discovered this all by themselves a week later and refiled the falsified filings. (Shades of the Clinton's taxes whilst Bill was President. I guess amazing coincidence never goes out of style.) The story then became that a secret agreement with the Obama administration allowed them to continue taking new donations, just not to accept any, um, new new donations. Except, like, Algeria, for obvious reasons. I mean, come on! However, we can now rest easy knowing that the donations uncovered by the media were the only such donations they accepted. Hey, if you can't trust an un-transparent private charity taking in a billion dollars without any real accountability in where it goes, who can you trust?

Should the Trump organization have to sell off everything and shut down if he wins?

Of course not, he would just go into bankruptcy again.

Government for the people in charge, by the people in charge, and of the people in charge. If business has to be conducted on private servers to maintain that level of, um, "integrity", so be it, eh?

Hillary - the best darned President money can buy.

Anyone that even states something like "the optics" sounds irritating to me to begin with.

But of course shady28 would approve of the statement.

Not really, but you never let the truth get in the way of a good story-

In other news the Clinton Foundation has now been renamed the Human Fund for the duration of Hillary's presidency.
