Hillary Clinton seeks $2B to end big money politics [WTH?]
The Clinton Foundation said late Wednesday that it will continue to accept donations from foreign governments during Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, despite concerns that such gifts will create a conflict of interest for the Democratic front-runner.
The foundation's board said that donations directly to the foundation would only be allowed from six governments — Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom. However, other governments could continue to participate in the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), a subsidiary program that encourages donors to match contributions from others to tackle international problems without direct donations to the charity.
The foundation also said it would stop holding CGI meetings abroad after a final session planned for Morocco in May. According to the Wall Street Journal, ministers from any government would be allowed to attend and appear on panels at CGI meetings and those governments would be permitted to pay attendance fees of $20,000.
Ethics experts had called on the foundation to stop accepting all foreign donations for the duration of Clinton's presidential campaign.

A few billion more, and she might just have enough to leave tips for meals.
What DOES the Clinton foundation do except pay the board members huge salaries?
Yes, I realize the monies in the coffers line the Clintons pockets.
I'm not sure how she explains away her support from Wall Street and the Clinton Foundation, worth about $2B in foreign donations.
What happened to that supposedly all-important Campaign Finance Reform that Juan McLame was so much a part of?
What’s it going to take the GOP to stand up to something; anything??
Nice...but Nixon was a choirboy vs HELLry
I don’t think we are supposed to ask what the Clinton foundation does, or why it exists, or why people would donate money to the foundation.
Hillary is so tone deaf. When discussing her huge speaking fees, she said that she personally doesn’t get the money. That she donates all her speaking fees to the Clinton foundation.
Does Hillary really like to insult our intelligence? So instead of personally pocketing $200 grand for a speech, the money goes to a family foundation which she controls? Can someone explain to me how she is not getting the money if it goes to a closely held family foundation instead???
As long as the Administration is not challenged, these democrat pols can do as they please. Nothing is out of bounds. The money flow will not be interupted. They will be expected to handle their own PR spin, but neither the Congress, the states, agency IGs nor the DOJ will do anything. The media is complicite and will not pursue anything. People like Menendez who go against the Administration on issues like Iran, or Cuba will be crushed.
Cartel countries find deposit box?.
Any rational thought / honest reporting by the MSM is gone.
This woman should be in a federal prison and instead is being cheered to the presidency by journ-0-lists.
