Psychopaths do not acknowledge ethics in this world. The concept is meaningless to them and their agendas.

Why isn’t she in prison??????

Anyone of the rest of us would be in prison, if not worse, for doing the things she did to line her pockets and sell out her coutry.

Hillary is a horrible excuse for a human being, let alone an American!

How any true American could stay home, let alone vote for this ghastly woman is just mind boggling. This carpet-munching weirdo is far beneath Donald Trump in any category!

If, thanks be to Satan, she is indeed propelled into the oval orifice which was disgraced by the syphilitic ass she’s welded to, then goodbye America!

It is unfair for Hillary Clinton that her skeptics, many of them sexist, imagine her as a figure of unique malevolence and corruption.

Unfair? What a steamin' pile.

The purpose of the Clinton Foundation is to leverage Clinton fame into charitable donations.


Allow me to correct this sentence for the author:

The purpose of the Clinton Foundation is to leverage Clinton influence into Clinton wealth. A key correction because there is nothing charitable about this. It simply makes “donors” feel/look better about the bribe and they can write it off on their taxes.

This is good work if you can get it.....

Article Started off okay then jumped the tracks, through te weeds and over the embankment.

“And it is true that left-wing activists distrust Clinton’s centrist impulses.”

Bwahahaha

Clinton and “ethics” in the same sentence does not compute.

You can’t seriously be asking that? I guess you didn’t live through the 90’s.

A minuscule percentage of donations are distributed as aid.

Well said!

If she manages to steal the election, she will rival Stalin and that is not an exageration.

And the putrid, vile witch would soon become one of the wealthiest scum on earth.

The purpose of the Clinton Foundation is to leverage Clinton fame into charitable donations. That purpose has important positive effects

No it doesn't.

IIRC something like only 10% of the donations actually go to charity. And the organizations that give grades to charities give the Clinton foundation a very low grade.

...”The purpose of the Clinton Foundation is to leverage Clinton fame into charitable donations”....

Well it’s much more than just that IMO. There’s a lot of hands in that pie though Clintons basically control it.

But the Foundation is tied up with International NGO’s of various sorts...it’s all used as a slush fund and leveraging whatever they want to use it for. ...it travels the same circut lines.

Ethics are for the little people.

If you are a Clinton apparently you can give 10% to the “cause” and keep the other 90% for administrative costs. It’s worse than that because most of the disbursements of “charity” went to friends of the Clintons who in turn donated to the Clinton Foundation. This is purely a criminal enterprise and it is hopelessly co-mingled between the charity, the foundation, and the speaking fees.

I am not a fan of new laws and we have too many, but I would not mind a law that required charitable tax deductions to be given to organizations that give at least 75% of funds to the stated purpose. Same requirement for them to have tax exempt status.

That seems pretty reasonable to me.

I guess it all depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is. . . .
