The Clinton Foundation’s Problems Are Deeper Than You Think

[rainbows_]

Critical scrutiny has focused on the Foundation’s fundraising. But there are equally troubling questions about its actual work.

In recent days, large amounts of criticism have been directed at the Clinton Foundation over its fundraising methods, and purported ethical conflicts of interest arising out of Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of

*sigh* I wish she never ran of president, I am getting so scared that Trump might win.

Unless the economy flat out tanks or we get attacked by Mexico Trump doesn't have the numbers or the demographics to win the electoral college. Popular vote, maybe, but not the electoral college.

But damn if the only reason I can hold my nose and vote for HRC is because I'm a loyal Virginian. There may not be illegal behavior at work but there's a hella lot of corporatism and skirting around money that I am not okay with. At all.

I don't want to think about Trump winning the popular vote. Then his followers would be all "the people have spoken!!!"

I don't think he will, though.

It should be Elizabeth Warren who's the current nominee.

I'm not looking forward to nothing but more Clinton scandals over the next 4 years while nothing else gets done.

I'm glad people have been making noise about the Clinton Foundation, if only because I've learned a lot more about it and how it conducts business in the past few days.

The way dems kiss the Clinton's asses is embarrassing. All this election did was remind me how full of shit dems are as well.

Right? I've learned so much.

And that's why it has been rated very highly by charity watchdogs

Also there is absolutely no proof of her selling access for donations. Even AP admitted that it exaggerated the accusation.

Where is actually proof that there money is not spent on worthy causes. I see a lot of accusations and absolutely no corroboration to back it up.

Are you serious? DiCaprio spent millions of dollars hosting a fundraiser at an exotic island where guests were flown in via private jets. The return on investment far exceeded the money spent. Therefore As long as the return on those investment justify the spending it does not matter. You are spending 10 dollars hoping you raise 15 from these wealthy donors. You cannot look at every expenditure in vacuum. There is a reason why these files refuse to divulge information about how much was raised because that would make them look like idiots

Also is that comment about giving banks access to low income folks about micro loans that were all the rage not a while back?

Also the quote about these charities begin about a way for rich to make themselves feel good? Are you kidding me? Are we seriously complaining about that?

[kunklebunkle]

First of all, can you provide a context for that quote? Again absolutely no proof in any of those comments about how the money was spent poorly just empty rhetorics.

I read the article particularly the NYTimes one and maybe you should too. And maybe then you would start providing quotes with full context.
