    It was a joke, meaning that Billary do all of their own wheeling and dealing, but, yes, there are professional fundraisers for non-profits...

    Why are you still hung up on the amount of donations when that is not what the foundation does?

    I'm hung up on the fact it looks like Hillary used the foundation to peddle influence. The "charity" side is just a front.

    I think it's funny that the Clinton FOundation is under fire and considered a conflict of interests, yet when Dick Cheney was VP and his company pulled in billions in favorable contracts in Iraq, it was no big deal. I'm sure to you right wingers that's still no big deal
    Let me articulate this for you:

    Have you heard of "Clinton University"? http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/yo...rticle/2593571

    Go look at their website. A lot of fluff for the most part.

    Hillary and crew should just continue to help people with their foundation.

    I did read it.

    I don't get it though. If you read what they do, they are not just "dropping off food" to impoverished people. They are bringing knowledge and skills of sustainable farming to populations that don't have the knowledge. This is just one thing.

    A lot of people around here preach the "Teach a man to fish" mantra. Well, that is actually what is happening here. They are passing down skills, brokering with local governments etc... This foundation isn't the only organization that does this. Various UN agencies do this as well.

    I get this does seem like important work to some people, but if you have ever been involved in international policy, knowledge management and development programs you would know that it is. Its more than just blowing cash on a one time, temporary quick fix.

    It's important work. I never said it wasn't. Doing important work while peddling influence to line your pockets using the foundation as a front is the part I'm referrer to.

    Did you catch this one?

    WIKILEAKS: Fake Name Used In Email Conversations Between Hillary And Chelsea

    Hillary Clinton's email scandal has taken another bizarre twist. According to WikiLeaks, Clinton's daughter Chelsea regularly communicated with the former Secretary of State under the alias 'Diane Reynolds':
    http://www.hannity.com/articles/hanp...mail-15041478/


    Hillary speaks in "fiction" along with using fake names in email. So did Hillary think using fake names made the email more secure when she was talking about what is going in Libya to her daughter?

    It's just amazing how Bill/Hillary being so broke after Bill left office that they made so much money in a short period of time spreading "awareness"

    If Hillary makes a comment about the epipen pricing she is a hypocrite. She'll line her pockets "helping" the poor but points out others who do the same?

    This people have tooo much BS.

    If you want more info on the Clinton Foundation just ask Donald Trump.
    He donated a lot of money to it.

    It was only 100K. I'm sure he donates to many, many charities, lots and lots of many to go great, fantastic things and can't remember all of them.

    That's an assumption. The $100k came out in a leaked tax document of his from 2009. All we know is that's what he donated that year. We have no idea whether he did or didn't donate more money during other years because he refuses to release his tax records.

    I think the amount was $100,000. Who do you blame? The people selling the influence or the people buying it?
