I didn't ask about Trump, nor do I care. The point I am trying to make is if the the Clintons are bringing in that much money (and $153 million combined from speaking fees since 2001) in order to "pay their bills", why in the hell would they need a salary from the Clinton Foundation?
They don't need a salary from their Foundation...nor do that take one. They donate a part of their income to it. So rather than demonizing them for the good they do, you should be applauding them.
One would think you would care about trump's foundation, given you seem so worried about the Clinton's. And you do know how much other politicians make from speaking engagements, do you have a concern about them?

I'm not sure why you are being so testy as it appears I hit a nerve. Apparently you are incapable of reading. I believe I stated already that I am well aware of the fact that they do not need nor do they take a salary considering they've made hundreds of millions since 2001 from speaking engagements alone. Furthermore, I could give two sh**s about the Clintons as I find them to be untrustworthy (for a long time). Just because someone donates $1 or $1 million doesn't make them honest, good individuals who should be applauded.
When she becomes president, in less than 6 months btw, they most assuredly don't want to have a look of impropriety. It's just the right thing to do; and to shut up the whiners, lord knows there's enough of them on the right.
The good news is there's more than enough money for the Clinton Foundation to carry on the remarkable work they are doing helping people across the world. Nice.
"pinky promise not to take anymore foreign bribes if I become potus" because SOS brib..er I mean donations don't have a look of impropriety.. "Remarkable"work there WG
Testy? I've been nothing but pleasant. I find threads like these interesting and always want to find ways to add to the discussion. There's two sides to every story and we obviously see them differently.
How about those speaking fees for Palin, bother you at all?

They get a tax write off from it, and then they get things like their travel expenses paid, (pre tax).
The whole foundation is nothing more than an estate that can be passed onto Chelsea tax free.. while they collect hundreds of millions of dollars from others and pay out a very small percentage of it to actual "charity"

yeah, they've already showed us that they lie about donations, when she said it wouldnt mix charity work, with her position as Secretary of State..

Palin doesnt run around selling connections to the federal government and other entities by collecting hundreds of millions in fees, claiming its a "non profit" while pocketing hundreds of millions in the bank.
Excellent point. 53% of Clinton Crime Syndicate Foundation came from foreign governments and corporations. Of course, we all know the Clinton marriage is a sham; just another fraud.
Still...Why wait to restrict contributions? Vote buying? Vote for me and I'll be a good girl.

The foundation’s announcement drew skepticism Friday from the right and the left as critics wondered why the Clintons have never before cut off corporate and overseas money to their charity — and why they would wait until after the election to do so.
The restrictions would be more stringent than those put in place while Clinton was secretary of state, when the foundation was merely required to seek State Department approval to accept new donations from foreign governments — permitting the charity to accept millions of dollars from governments and wealthy interests all over the world. They would also be stricter than the policy adopted when Clinton launched her campaign that placed some limits on foreign government funding but allowed corporate and individual donations.

"The Clinton Foundation has accepted tens of millions of dollars from countries that the State Department — before, during and after Mrs. Clinton’s time as secretary — criticized for their records on sex discrimination and other human-rights issues. The countries include Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Brunei and Algeria.
Saudi Arabia has been a particularly generous benefactor. The kingdom gave between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation. (Donations are typically reported in broad ranges, not specific amounts.) At least $1 million more was donated by Friends of Saudi Arabia, which was co-founded by a Saudi prince."
