If Hillary Clinton Wins, Foundation Will Stop Accepting Foreign Donations

Facing criticism for some of the donations given to his family’s philanthropy, Bill Clinton said on Thursday that the Clinton Foundation would no longer accept foreign or corporate money and that he would resign from its board should Hillary Clinton win the presidency.

Mr. Clinton’s announcement, which he relayed to foundation employees in a meeting on Thursday, followed the recent release of State Department emails mentioning donors to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation who had contact with aides to Mrs. Clinton while she was the secretary of state.

Of course, I am sure that in case she wins, they will figure out something, such as creating a "blind trust", to avoid any appearance of any bribery and wrong-doing.

And if we had any real news people, someone would do a serious investigation right now about the donations they received while she was Sec. of State.

Her statement of record is for those who need help in fooling themselves (again).

Once she gets her claws on the US Treaury the Clintons won’t have time for piddling little million dollar pay-for-play scams.

What a load of crap! Why should anything change if it’s all above board? And what then if (when) she loses? Oh right the IRS will make it extinct. I feel better now.

If the foreign donations were not a form of bribery, then why stop? Conversely if they are inappropriate, then why not stop accepting them immediately?

So if it is bad when she’s president, why wasn’t it bad when she was the nation’s top diplomat?

The headline is: "If Hillary Clinton Wins, Foundation Will Stop Accepting Foreign Donations"

A more relevant headline would be: "If Hillary Clinton Loses, Foreigners Will Stop Making Donations"

If Hillary wins, the Clinton supermarket will concentrate on domestic customers. If Clinton loses, the Clinton supermarket will have no inventory.

If the foundation is such a force for good in the world, this becomes an argument to allow Hillary to continue with the Foundation, and let somebody else take the presidency.
