Chorus grows for Clintons to shutter charitable foundation

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The foundation started by Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton should shut down despite its good work, two major newspapers said in editorials on Wednesday, calling for its closure to avoid perceptions of "pay-for-play" amid the U.S. presidential campaign as critics step up their attacks over the issue.

Despite plans announced earlier this week to reorganize the foundation if Hillary Clinton wins the White House in November, USA Today said the global charity must close for the Democratic presidential candidate to avoid any appearance of unethical ties.

"The only way to eliminate the odor surrounding the foundation is to wind it down and put it in mothballs, starting today, and transfer its important charitable work to another large American charity such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation," the paper's editorial board wrote.

The Washington Post said in its editorial that the planned steps unveiled on Monday to rename the foundation, end foreign and corporate donations and have Bill Clinton resign from the board should have happened sooner - before his wife served as secretary of state - and still fall short.

...beneath Washington decorum to suggest that a Democratic candidate was actually a treasonous crook.

Which is why DC is now overrun with treasonous crooks (many of them labeled "R" as well!)

It will just be a different name. No way killary will stop stealing and committing treason for money. She wants to be the richest person in the world. Nothing will stop her from getting that.

Isn’t this like asking The Mob to leave Las Vegas?

Despite its good work....

What good work?! It's nothing but a money laundering scheme for the Clintons. Shut it down.

Pay-for-tv time to trial the Clinton Foundation live, on cable/streaming/everywhere.

Retired USCAppeals judges, runner-ups for Alito, etc.

This is Bill and Hillary’s main source of income. So, no way!

The Clinton Foundation is a fabulous scam isn’t it?

Let’s them live like true potentates while showing tax returns not much different than your average wealthy DC couple.

And of course Team Obama is drooling at the prospects of copying the system.

“The only way to eliminate the odor surrounding the Foundation is to wind it down and put it in mothballs”

Right. Because if the Foundation is shutdown, that means Hillary’s hundreds of pay-for-play influence peddling deals through Foundation “donations” while serving as Secretary of State never happened, right? At least that’s what the enemedia will tell us, because once out of sight, it’ll be out of mind.

So close it down and transfer wealth to another foundation- how utterly socialist

[caww]

More than likely they're either already planning this transfer or it's already a done deal.... Either way this is the Clinton Machinery Operating so they certainly have a backup in case they get caught. They've spent 30 years covering their tracks and bucking any who stood in their way....and sometimes they simply just stall and wait...they know people forget soon enough.

Hillary is indeed the embodiment of a National Security State...never loose sight of that....she doesn't have to DO anything, and she doesn't...she simply IS.
