Anyone who makes it to the White House can make money after their terms. Do you think ex-Presidents should negotiate the fees they are offered for speeches lower? Do you think taking fees from foreign entities and paying heavy federal taxes is bad for the USA? Do you think any ex=President has
influenced Congress to pass any legislation?
You were the one who brought up the Clinton Slushfundation as something positive and great, compared to those greedy, meanie Republicans. I simply pointed out your error - the Slushfundation has admitted violating policy by having the chief bribe-taker, Hillary, accept donations from foreign governments
while she was Secretary of State.
And as to Hillary accepting bribes and then acting on the bribes:
–Bill and Hillary Clinton had helped a Canadian financier named Frank Giustra and a small Canadian company obtain a lucrative uranium mining concession from the dictator in Kazakhstan;
–The same Canadian company, renamed Uranium One, bought uranium concessions in the United States;
–The Russian government came calling and sought to buy that Canadian company for a price that would mean big profits for the Canadian investors;
–For the Russians to buy that Canadian company, it would require the approval of the Obama administration, including Hillary’s State Department, because uranium is a strategically important commodity;
–Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to provide
more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval;
–Some of the donations, including those from the Chairman of Uranium One, Ian Teler, were kept secret, even though the Clintons promised to disclose all donations;
–
Hillary’s State Department approved the deal;
–The Russian government now owns 20 percent of U.S. uranium assets.

Much ado about nothing, find constructive things to do with your time. Your life might get better.
You brought up the topic. You started this line of discussion. You suggested that the Clintons are honorable for founding the Clinton Slushfundation.
I provided specific facts showing your error. Now you respond, "Oh, move on, get a life"???
No, 21Steelers, you need to keep the facts straight. The Clinton Slushfundation is a money-laundering and influence-peddling scam and nothing more. The Slushfundation has reportedly raised nearly
$2 billion - BILLION, with a "b."

Can you name ONE THING this "foundation" has done? Seriously, two billion dollars in donations, a considerable amount from sleazy tyrants, for what?
Yep, for influence - bribery. Hillary, the bought-and-paid-for candidate.
Oh, and I love the fact that Chelsea gets paid $300,000 per year because ... well, her last name.
D'uh.
But I am sure that if George W. Bush set up a "foundation" that raised nearly $2 billion in donations, a substantial portion from tyrants, and spent most of that money on salaries, travel, etc., and paid one of the Bush daughters $300,000 per year for basically nothing, that nobody would say a bad word about that tactic.
Right?
