Democratic Congressman: Clinton Foundation ‘Should Be Cut Off’
Breitbart ^ | 8/30/2016 | Patrick Howley

Arizona Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva, a Hillary Clinton supporter, thinks that the Clinton Foundation should be “cut off” due to the pay-for-play scandal haunting Clinton’s campaign.

“We’ve got to get rid of extraneous issues and if this foundation is an extraneous issue that goes to the heart of whether it’s trust or transparency then get rid of it because there is so much on the table right now for the American people and for the future of this nation, that extraneous issues such as the foundation, if that is something that needs to be cut off then it should be cut off,” Grijalva said in an interview with MSNBC’s Tamron Hall.

It should have been “cut off” 8 years ago, Raul. Typical Democrat. They are OK with this cesspool of corruption and pay to play while Hillary is using it to get rich. But now that its not convenient anymore for her ambitions, its OK for the Dems to start speaking out against it. Eventually, the Clintons will cut it back or do something and the media will claim that the problem is solved. All the while, the Clintons are still worth $100 million due to the pay to play that they ran through the foundation. Its so disgusting.

The Foundation should be ‘seized’ and held, and Bill, Hillary, Chelsea and donors, people that hold positions there, should all be tried and put in prison...the money should go into a fund for OUR government for them selling OUR country to foreign countries that hate our guts!!!

Typical politician - want you to think they’re outraged and doing something, while actually doing nothing. “Cutting off”, or even closing the foundation down will do absolutely nothing. The problem isn’t the foundation, it’s the Clintons. Everything they touch is tainted, tarnished, and slimed. They are out for themselves, and no one else.

Too late, Raul. She got paid, and the donors played.

I would like to see our (cough, cough) Republican Congress disqualify this criminal cesspool from tax exempt status and from any connection whatsoever to any US programs.

The basis for this action would be their theft of Haitian earthquake relief funds as documented in Clinton Cash.

I suppose this Raul fellow thinks letting the mentally ill use whichever gender bathroom strikes their fancy is anything but “extraneous”. After all, who cares whether a candidate for president shamelessly accepted hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes in her last job? Makes you just wish you could walk up and slap him with a brick, doesn’t it?

Yeah, as though dumping the foundation now would somehow erase the years and years of corruption already on record!

Agreed — I also wonder if the reason they don't is because they're involved in the pay for play/influence scheme.

The Clinton Slush Fund must be showing up in their internal polling as a down-ticket drag.

Nothing “extraneous” about it. It’s who they are, writ large.

If they do drop the foundation Clinton will just create something else to collect the money.

I only hope that all of this light being shown on the Clinton foundation will cause people to watch Obama and his “foundation” Watch what he gets paid for speeches and why. Maybe this will stop people from paying those exhorbitant amount for speeches.

I would rather let the Clinton Foundation stand as a quintessential example of using a pretense of care to empower and enrich oneself. It is truly a perfect representation of the Democrat party in general.

Man a hearse is a cool vehicle. Too bad the morbid aura surrounding it though.
