The only reason she “looks like she did something untoward” is because you don’t like her. If you or Hamilton have any evidence of actual wrong doing in connection with the Clinton Foundation I’m all ears but this death by 1,000 smears bullshit campaign has to stop. The Clinton Foundation actually saves people lives.

Divesting herself from it won't be enough, though. As long as there's a foundation that she is or was formerly associated with and it is or was receiving donations, a certain fringe of people will assume corruption and will never be convinced otherwise. Closing the foundation will stop the good works it does and

All this statement does is demonstrate your bias -

Waiting 15 years probably means 30 million more AIDS deaths in Africa, but that’s probably a plus to many people

Meanwhile trump deducts free rounds of golf given to foreign officials, but I guess that’s okay because America

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but it’s certainly possible they wanted to start doing good things earlier rather than later. If you can help some people now, why wait 15 years?

It would only be replaced by another unbearably pseudoscandal. Until the whole family is dead, the obsessives will keep harping on this stuff.

Then Clinton enemies would just find another thing to harass them over forever. Whitewater, Vince Foster, travel office, interns, emails, Benghazi!, Clinton Foundation...the list is endless.

People have gotten jailed for the appearance of conflict of interest?

The bad “optics” of this story is entirely of the media’s making.

...most of those big donors aren’t donating out of a spirit of altruism are they?

That’s a pretty stupid conclusion to draw. She accepted that public speaking money because that was her job and her main source of income at the time. If someone offers you money to give a speech, you take that money and give the speech. There’s no conflict of interest because she wasn’t consulting them on anything.

I understand that there’s an appearance of conflict of interest. But we’re turning this into some new Watergate scandal when there hasn’t been a shred of evidence yet of any actual specific act of wrongdoing happening. Everyone needs to take a deep breath or we’re going to have Benghazi #2 — another situation in which

A few lives is a cost that Hamilton is gladly willing to pay.

It’s a regular old charity. Sorry to ruin your fun but not everything is a conspiracy theory.

It’s a little sticky for Trump, too, because he himself is a donor.

There has been no concrete evidence of anything untoward actually happening so far. All the reporting has been about the appearance of scandal from implied implications of implications of implications. You’d think that if any media company had anything hard on them on this front it would be front page banner news. The

They bring this up constantly

Sure, it saves a few “lives” but it *appears* inappropriate!

Your article would be better with actual evidence to support your claims. As it is, it's just a hatchet job.
