To believe anti-Clinton critics, you would think Bill and Hillary Clinton were more powerful, evil and diabolical than even the most over-the-top villain in your stereotypical spy movie. The Clintons have been accused of: Being serial killers. (No, seriously, there are individuals out there who think they’ve killed well over 90 people.) Money laundering and racketeering.…
Sigh. Mena airport, Benghazi, mass murder, Vincent Foster, gun running, it’s all paranoid rampaging nonsense. That’s why you attack that stuff and ignore the plain graft going on at the Foundation. There’s no difference here than the influence peddling that got John McCain denounced in the well of the Senate for doing Charles Keating’s bidding. Ask the people of Haiti what happened to their minimum wage law and then look again at the donation roster for the Clinton Foundation. So Hillary is going to repeal Citizens United after she wins an election playing by these rules? Let’s be clear, everything she, McCain and McDonnell have done is legal thanks to Anthony “Hear no Evil” Kennedy. The road to oligarchy is paved with “they do it more” excuses.
Charities with graft and corruption don’t actually get an A from watchdog groups. If all the money coming in actually goes to charitable work, it’s not usually called corruption. If it’s not going to charitable work, they aren’t rated “A.”
You probably mean “Well, they know who donates, so they do other favors for them as SOS or Senator.”
You’re not the first one to have thought that might happen. People, accountants, have actually looked very carefully. And there is exactly zero evidence of quid pro quo at all. None. Nada. Zip.
I’m still curious why the purity test for Clinton is so stringent she has to be purer than myths with no basis in fact, but, eg Sanders, could be a-not-totally-pure politician (NRA, Sierra Blanca nuke waste, F-35) but that didn’t — nor should it! — irretrievably damage him. Really. Why?
Let’s charge some real windmills.

My wife is bringing the Hillary lawn sign home today. The two sentences above explain my ambivalence.
