Cloudy Waters: Clinton Foundation Accomplishments - Page 5

Bullied? Vote for who you want but don't blow smoke up my ass. (Not you personally) but anyone. Trump is poison and he is a disservice to ones well being and mind. Zero morals and zero character. I have said all along I don't really support Hillary but I sure as hell don't want an overt racist running this country.

I can't recall you actually saying any specific thing as to why you would be against Hillary. You certainly have sung her praises often enough.

Thanks, I will decide what to do with my vote when I close the curtain in the voting booth. I promise not to tell anyone that result.

At this point---this race is Hillary's to lose. Oddly, the pollsters this morning say her lead is shrinking. The wiki leaks email specter still looms large. Trump will remain what he Is, so that should provide you a cushion of comfort that he will continue to be offensive and alienate enough swing voters.

Trump of late, certainly appears focused on reeling in some of his most outlandish immigration solutions. So, he seems to be trying to change his erratic and fanciful solutions to serious problems. Can this be maintained? I don't know. I doubt it.

On a tangential note, Huma Abedin, Hillary's "shadow" and the unfortunate wife of Anthony Weiner the sexting wanker, has had enough. I don't blame her for her separation. Actually, I would skip that and go straight for the divorce. Weiner can't stop himself, that man is just disgusting.

@Noitsyou. I don't think it necessary to shut down their Foundation. This recent NYT opinion piece though, pretty much hits the mark, IMHO. If they do the steps it calls for, then they would be more in-line with the rest of the non-profit organization world, and their cloudy waters would indeed— start to clear up.

...that while Mrs. Clinton was secretary, it was hard to tell where the foundation ended and the State Department began.

Mrs. Clinton became involved in State Department deals and negotiations that also involved foundation donors or board members. She prompted multiple investigations with an arrangement that allowed Huma Abedin, her deputy chief of staff at the State Department and now vice chairwoman of her campaign, to be paid simultaneously by the State Department, the foundation and Teneo, a consulting firm run by Doug Band, the former adviser to Mr. Clinton who helped create the foundation — and who sent emails to Ms. Abedin seeking favors for foundation donors.

The newly disclosed emails show that some foundation donors and friends, like Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad bin al-Khalifa of Bahrain, used foundation channels to seek access to Mrs. Clinton.

...A wiser course would be to ban contributions from foreign and corporate entities now. If Mrs. Clinton wins, Bill and Chelsea Clinton should both end their operational involvement in the foundation and its affiliates for the duration of her presidency, relinquishing any control over spending, hiring and board appointments.

...The Clinton Foundation has become a symbol of the Clintons’ laudable ambitions, but also of their tangled alliances and operational opacity. ...
