From the time the Clinton Foundation, or any other organization (including her marriage to Bill) in which Hillary was a principal first took money from a foreign government (whether she was then still a Senator or whether she was Secretary of State), the Constitution of the United States has instructed us not to trust Hillary Clinton:Hillary Clinton has stood in violation of that provision because the House of Representatives never acted to authorize her to be in that position. You or I would not need permission from Congress to accept such money - but you and I never had and never will have the access to foreign princes which Hillarys offices have put her in position to have. Without even troubling to investigate the Foundation, we know that she never asked Congress, Mother, may I? for any - let alone all, as we have every right to expect foreign government donations obtained by the Foundation or by her partner, Bill. Why should she not required, for starters, to divest herself of any and all such funds????
- Article 1 Section 9:
- No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state
Say what you will about the Republican Party, its leadership is entirely innocent of any intention to nominate Trump - so if there be any qualm about Trump, the Republican Party does not have its fingerprints on it. The Democrat Party, OTOH, has its fingerprints all over the nomination of a candidate who is constitutionally disqualified, corrupt, has a history of being caught out in lies in public to the detriment of good order - and, apparently, keeping the public in the dark about substantive health issues.
The legal answer doubtlessly is in the technicality that the Clinton Foundation isn’t Hillary and Bill. But the way it works to pay Hillary and Bill sure looks like a money laundry to Hillary and Bill.
