I think its funny, that the Clinton foundation allegedly saves lives, yet nothing was said about it at Hillary’s convention.

That brings up a point: the Constitution indicates that US government employees are presumptively corrupt if they go hat in hand to foreign governments:
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
This means that even if (contrary to all evidence) the Clinton Foundation were pure as the wind-driven snow, it would take an act of Congress to legitimate a single foreign government donation to an organization in which the sitting Secretary of State was a principal, and which was named after her.

You or I could accept such an advantage from a foreign government - but then, you nor I are Secretary of State, able to do favors for any such government.
