First Read: What Happens to the Clinton Foundation if Hillary Wins?

With the Clinton Foundation once again the recipient of negative headlines, former Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) -- another Republican who says he's backing Hillary Clinton -- recommended that the Clinton family should shut down the foundation if she becomes president. "I would sure as heck suggest that they don't have it," Shays said on "MTP Daily" yesterday. Maybe the Clinton Foundation doesn't have to close its doors if Hillary wins in November, but it will be unsustainable -- for the Clintons and for the foundation -- if it's viewed as a conflict of interest. As former GOP Sen. Dick Lugar (R-IN) noted in 2009 during Hillary Clinton's confirmation hearing to become secretary of state, "The core of the problem is that foreign governments and entities may perceive the Clinton Foundation as a means to gain favor with the secretary of state. Although neither Senator Clinton nor President Clinton has a personal financial stake in the foundation, obviously its work benefits their legacy and their public service priorities." And as we found out, any safeguards that the Clintons and Foundation established to eliminate perceptions problems while Hillary was secretary of state didn't exactly do the trick.

...recommended that the Clinton family should shut down the foundation if she becomes president...Shays is apparently entirely ignorant of the whole point of the Clinton Foundation - it takes in money from players all over the world in exchange for influence in controlling the United States government to the benefit of the players - all the Clintons have going for them is their position within the government - first Bill as president, then Hillary as secretary of state - right now they have nothing tangible, and they're trading on the anticipation that Hillary will become the next prez - if she doesn't, the Foundation will fold for lack of "assets", but if she does the sky's the limit for its future - that's just when things will get good.....
