Government watchdog groups — all of them champions of heightened transparency, campaign finance reform and other Democratic priorities — are also warning of potentially “very serious” conflicts of interest if the Clinton Foundation continues as business as usual with Clinton in the White House.
The transparency advocates are not calling for the foundation to shut its doors, as Trump has done from the campaign trail. But they are urging the adoption of tough new firewalls to eliminate any perception that Clinton Foundation donors could use their wallets to gain undue access to a Hillary Clinton White House.
“The Clinton Foundation has posed a very serious conflict of interest for the entire time that it’s existed,” Craig Holman, government affairs lobbyist at Public Citizen, said Thursday. “The conflicts of interest are very real, and that gives Trump some ammunition to throw at it, and we’re going to hear about it [until the campaign ends].”
Holman said Clinton’s recent vow to bar all foreign and corporate donations to the Clinton Foundation if she wins the presidency is “a big, big step in the right direction.” But, he quickly added, that alone is not enough to eliminate the “pay to play” perceptions now dogging the Clinton campaign following revelations that top State Department aides acted on the foundation’s behalf when Clinton headed the agency.
Hillary is a felon. You cannot elect a felon. The fact that she was not convicted is insane. The law states that she used gross negligence in the handling of her emails. The corrupt Clinton Foundation, lying about a video and killing four in Libya, the Panama Papers, and so on. She can’t even pass a background check if she we’re given one. The most crooked candidate ever. Trumps no prize with his ego and bombastic mouth but he’s better than her. Yes, we are voting for lesser of two evils once again
Nothing to see here… hey did you see those nation polls… heh heh that Trump… what a knuclehead…
Move along…
In your opinion she is a felon even thought she has not been tried for a crime?
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. There is nothing to even indict her on. You just don’t like her.
The Supreme Court and the course of this once great nation are hanging in the balance.
I would suffer through four years of a Trump Presidency in order to solidify the court and my children’s future.
