A big slush fund for the Clinton Foundation
The Washington Times ^ | August 22,2016 | By David Keene

Hillary assures voters she’s done nothing wrong and won’t do it again

Hillary Clinton, after learning there is a chance that hackers could release potentially embarrassing Clinton Foundation emails before the November elections, has announced that if she is elected president the foundation will no longer accept the foreign and corporate donations that have convinced all but her most loyal sycophants that she may well have been peddling influence to the highest bidder as secretary of state.

It is as if Willie Sutton, after robbing enough banks to ensure a comfortable retirement, had announced that bankers and their depositors could stop worrying because he would stop if given the key to the city.

An apology and a promise to go straight in the future does not excuse one’s past transgressions, even if such a promise might influence a parole board to give a criminal who has served a good portion of his or her sentence an early release and a second chance. Mrs. Clinton, for her part, apologizes for nothing, but is now promising to stop doing something that she has always defended as legitimate and above board.

From the day the news broke that Mrs. Clinton did business as secretary of State on a private email server and the lady refused to allow access to tens of thousands of emails, most of the public and media attention has focused on whether she had sent classified information using the private server, but many have suspected that her bullheaded refusal to give up much of what she had promised to make public had more to do with her use of her position to fund Clinton, Inc. by doing favors for foundation donors.

Not much need for a "family foundation" when you run the Treasury Department, the Justice Department, the Labor Department, and the Department of Defense.

They will be her private property, as we saw when she ran the State Department.

Sounds like she is applying for parole.

Selling state secrets is a Clinton goldmine.

Someone needs to redo this chart. 5 of the 7 top donor are foreign entities and not subject to Federal Government audits. Only the Gates Foundation and the Alphawood Foundation are US based entities.

Killary should go on media announcing that effective today, the Clinton Foundation will not accept donations from persons outside the USA.

Further, she should announce that Foundation staff is going through past records and any donations found to come from outside the USA will be returned in full. A list of these donations showing the donors name, date and amount should be made available to the press.

IMHO, this represents the minimum she should do.

She should be in jail for accepting cash in her campaign fund. Supposedly illegal but evidently not for her.
