Wonder if the Roman hoi polloi thought “...this is getting pretty bad...” near the end.

Something that makes this even more egregious is the Constitutional provision:
Article 1 Section 9:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state
Congress was never asked to approve Hillary’s participation in any foundation while she was Secretary of State. Ratification of her nomination to that post does not count, even if full disclosure had been made to the Senate before that confirmation vote - if for no other reason, because Senate confirmation does not involve the House of Representatives. And even if the House had approved the arrangement, that would not constitute a Constitutional Amendment, and arguably each instance of acceptance of money from a foreign government by a government employee would require congressional approval.

Acceptance of such funds by Bill as honoraria for speeches directly benefited Hillary via their marriage. Acceptance of such funds by the Clinton Foundation constitutes an aggrandizement of Hillary as a principal in that foundation; if the foundation used that money to cure cancer, Hillary cured cancer. Which you might consider unobjectionable - but why didn’t she get congressional approval, if the money was actually benefiting humanity in general more than Hillary in particular!

Of course, laws - even the Constitution itself - only apply to little people . . .
