Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Democratic strategist and long-time Clinton booster James Carville criticized those who call into question the dealing of the Clinton Foundation under Bill and Hillary Clinton because of potential conflicts of interest.
Carville argued the pros outweighed the cons when it came to the Clinton Foundation raising money given the Clintons’ circumstances.
“Look, the good would be that we wouldn’t be gabbing about it here,” Carville said. “The bad would be that we would be out hundreds of millions of dollars that are doing good. What the Clinton Foundation does is it takes money from rich people and gives it to poor people. Most people think that’s a pretty good idea.”

“If you ask me as political adviser, of course,” he replied. “If you ask me as a human being – nah, I’m not too sure. As a human being I think [the foundation] does an enormous amount of good.”
“[S]omebody is going to hell over this because somebody – not saying here, but somewhere,” he added. “This is saving people’s lives.”

Hey James, 10% payout ain’t hundreds of millions except to Bill and Hill who keep the 90%.
This is how they helped people. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/437883/hillarys-america-secret-history-democratic-party-dinesh-dsouza-clinton-foundation
The Foundation has an 80% expense ratio - scandalously high for an organization with that much in the way of “donations.”
That the organization spends SOME money on the poor is good - in and of itself. However, the money arrives for the purpose of buying influence at the expense of the best interests of the United States and its people. Arguably, the deals that have been cut with the money “contributed” (bribery money, as it so transparently is) have harmed many more poor people here than the Foundation could possibly have helped with a meager 20% of its funds.
The legitimate donations are merely a fig leaf to cover up for, and deflect attention away from, what is really going on - a huge and systematic pay-to-play fleecing organization.
Carville says that someone is going to Hell over this. I would agree...just not about WHO is making that trip. Oh, and apologists and fig leaf placers get a free trip, too, for helping out in the process.
This is want you get when you drag a $100 bill. You get a Carville.
I see he’s still a moron.
So I imagine Jimmy would be OK with a Trump Foundation taking in hundreds of millions from the middle east.....
What say you Jimmy?
Who is it that was born lying?
My understanding was that the CF only “spent” the minimum amount required by the IRS on “charity”.
Premier tenet of Marxism.

What strikes me about this is that Carville is coming out for Clinton just now. Yes- he’s always worked for them, but rats leave sinking ships, and he clearly doesn’t think it’s sinking. If he did I’d expect him to distance himself; to go semi-dormant and wait for a new master on the left.
James Serpent Head Carville will be the first one through the door into the 9 circles of hell. Bye Bye.
I listened to him on the Hugh Hewitt show today and the guy is stuttering like a senile old man. The snake appears you know the Clintons are in trouble. This is such a freakin nightmare, again.
Carville:
Bribes save lives.
Bribes are good.
That is an excellent limerick!
Carville on Clinton Fdn Critics: ‘Somebody Is Going to Hell Over This’
Pack your bags Carville!
The 10 % charity may be helping people, but the 90 % graft is killing Syrians, Ukrainians and Libyans.
Well Jimmie Boy since the ‘foundation’ raised money for a hospital and it was NEVER built I suggest you go ask Jim Bakker what happens to folks like that
No one with a functioning brain would ever watch “Morning Joe”!!! End of story!!!
10% of the Donations actually getting to those in need is a wonderful thing to Serpenthead?
