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

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.

Most of the contributions were possible because of exceptions written into the foundation’s 2008 agreement, which included limits on foreign-government donations.

The agreement, reached before Clinton’s nomination amid concerns that countries could use foundation donations to gain favor with a Clinton-led State Department, allowed governments that had previously donated money to continue making contributions at similar levels.

The new disclosures, provided in response to questions from The Washington Post, make clear that the 2008 agreement did not prohibit foreign countries with interests before the U.S. government from giving money to the charity closely linked to the secretary of state.

“... giving money to the charity...”

Corrected: giving money to the Slick Willy and Benghazi Clinton political slush fund.

To their friends the Clintons are nice people. But behind the scenes they are corrupted to the core by foreign money influences. Senate committees saw it back in the 1980s and considered pressing the issue.

Memories are imperfect but for certain they examined whether the Foreign Agent Registration Act could apply against Senator Kennedy and the Clintons.....because there was so much money from friendly governments and adversaries.
