Absolutely not. The Clinton Foundation is a great international charity and that it's getting smeared is loving ridiculous. It also is a highly public institution and not a 'slush fund'. They do scary stuff like work on AIDS and women's rights.

Doesn't the Foundation get large sums of money from very powerful sources that work closely with the Clintons and with the US government? eg foreign governments, wall st bigwigs, major corporations etc. Not that this in itself is bad, but it does raise questions of conflict of interest. It does seem unlikely that the Clintons would want or especially need to withdraw money for personal use.

Jesus loving christ no it doesn't raise anything at all. It's not even that the Clintons don't want to withdraw money, they couldn't, it's a loving public charity. This is the dumbest conspiracy story ever.

Like look at what the Clinton Foundation actually is before believing poo poo like this.

Please look into the Clinton Foundation before including them in your nutty anti-Clinton poo poo please, because they do amazingly good work across the globe and don't deserve this half-baked lunatic conspiracy mongering.

Yes I know what it is, and I've read in very reputable papers eyebrows being raised over the charities doings, and, yes, possible conflict of interest.

It's interesting to note that Charity Navigator refuses to rate them. They previously had the Clinton Foundation on their shitlist of bad charities due to lack of disclosures. Once the disclosures were made the decision was to note rate them for some reasons.

In addition to the sketchy behaviour of the Clinton Foundation itself there's also just the general tendency for corporations doing business with the Clinton state department to coincidentally give millions to Bill Clinton in "speaking fees".

But hey, please research Bill Clinton's speeches before including them in your nutty conspiracy theories because those speeches do amazingly good work across the globe and don't deserve this half-baked lunatic conspiracy mongering.

This fucking day....
iyaayas01 in the GiP current events thread actually summed it up pretty well:

iyaayas01 posted:

So in non-Yokel Haram news, there's been a couple updates in the Clinton email spectacle. The most significant one for me is apparently at least one of the emails that "just" contained SCI had info that was HCS protected....so her reckless behavior put at least one HUMINT source at risk. Also there was massive buffoonery involving the use of Blackberries (ignore the link source, it's just a copy of the actual memo in question), including using them while in foreign countries (including China :psyboom:) and absolutely no security discipline regarding their presence in/around the senior leadership's offices. The Crackberry issues also include the fact that one of her aides lost her Blackberry in the same timeframe when these emails were flying fast and furious (:v:).And apparently Clinton's defense now isn't that the information wasn't actually classified (even she admits it more than likely was), it's that it wasn't marked classified when she transmitted/received/stored it. That might have something to do with the fact that she was directing her staff to intentionally copy classified information onto an unclassified system, just stripping out the classification markings/identifying information:



So to recap, her and her merry gang of idiots intentionally put classified information on a non-governmental server that was stored in her private residence. They also sent this information to/from private Blackberries, including while they were in foreign countries (because if there's one thing that's absolutely secure, its the wireless network in a foreign country). They got the classified information out into the unclass realm by pulling up classified documents on one SIPR or JWICS terminal and then typing the information onto an unclassified terminal, intentionally leaving out any classification markings that were present on the original document in an attempt to hide the fact that it was classified; this was done in at least once instance at the direct behest of Clinton. This classified information included, among other things, information from multiple IC SAPs as well as information that was protected by HCS (i.e., stuff that had the potential to put HUMINT sources at risk.)

Everyone involved in this needs to spend the rest of their lives in prison because this level of reckless incompetence regarding classified basically rises to the level of conducting intentional espionage, that's how damaging all of this likely is.

If any one else did 1/10 of the poo poo Clinton pulled they would be put in jail for 20+ years.

Christopher R. Glenn, 34, a South Florida Resident, was sentenced on July 31, 2015, to 120 months of imprisonment to be followed by three years of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Kenneth A.

Does anyone know if the convening of a federal grand jury is public or not? I'm curious as to whether, if the justice dept were inclined to indict Hillary, any information in support of that would be public at this phase. The process, as I understand it, would be: FBI Investigation -> Grand Jury -> Indictment/No Indictment, and we have evidence that the FBI is poking around, but would we get any indication that an indictment was imminent prior to it actually occurring?

This is literally Clinton's defense. "We can't stop them from making a contribution for all the great work the Clinton Foundation does, they are just very charitable :) "
Also keep in mind those fighter jets are manufactured by Boeing, which ALSO donated to the Clinton Foundation and gave hundreds of thousands in Speaking Fees to the Clintons, during the time the State Department made the decision on which company gets the bid. In Fact Hillary would regularly upsell Boeing jets.

The Clintons are corrupt profiteers and it is a shame a neoliberal criminal is going to be the Democratic nominee.

To actually make this a real accusation and not just a gibbering mess of obvious bias, you'd have to look at countries that didn't give to the Clinton Foundation vs. those that did, and compare arms sales to them. You can also look at time periods when the Saudis didn't give money to the Clinton Foundation, and see if their arms deals suffered.

You won't do that, though, partially because you probs know it'll show you're wrong but also because you're just lazy and/or don't actually know how to do it.
