Why didn’t you mention that they plan to stop accepting foreign and corporate donations after the election? Are you omitting a very important part of the story merely because it undercuts your argument?

“Hey, millions of people whose lives have been saved by the Clinton Foundation: if they didn’t save your lives, someone else probably would have anyway!”
This is what passes for true progressivism these days: bitter Berners making nakedly conservative arguments just to get in a final, desperate stab at Hillary from the…
I can’t believe I just read another piece looking for an example of a favor given in exchange for a donation and I came up empty again.
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?

Do you have any idea how HIV AIDS medications work? This is not something that can be stopped. 11 million lives for your optics.
Um. Is this satire? I can’t tell if HamNo is actually suggesting that people receiving life saving and life sustaining aid from Clinton Foundation programs should actually die because of a vague concern for ethics, or if he’s making fun of people who think that.

Oh f you. You going to call for another Benghazi hearing as well? “Oh my a politician meeting with donors, my stars what is this world we live in?” News flash, every person that ever wants to talk to a politician is looking to exert influence over said politician. So Clinton has to play by totally different rules then…
I’m not going to sit here and say you haven’t made any valid or relevant points, but if Cheney didn’t have to excuse himself from Halliburton when he was VP, then Clinton has no reason to either.
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.

A few lives is a cost that Hamilton is gladly willing to pay.
So the Clinton foundation should shut down because it has the “appearance” of influence peddling BC we all know how people buy influence by giving to charities. This is the worst type of political argument. You’ve let 20 years of right wing propaganda color your thinking. You realize many expresdients have these…
Your article would be better with actual evidence to support your claims. As it is, it's just a hatchet job.
