If you don't understand the reason...please...don't vote.

Show us your taxes, Bill and Hillary Clinton!
And...in Hillary's words, "we were broke when we got into the White House."

Guess all those items they stole when they left the White House were worth a fortune.

We really have no idea where the money in politics is coming from these days.
No, we don't, but as voters we can certainly NOT elect any recipient! Anyone thinking of voting for HC for president needs to do the research and see exactly why neither should ever be involved in politics again. The first time for both was detrimental to America. Let's not go for a second time. Geez!

Should I be concerned about other people whine about?

What is wrong with this picture?
The problem is that you are a political tribalist, and you assume everyone else is too.

I don't vote for Democrats, and I don't care what they whine about. You top priority is always to defend party lines, which is why you get stuck defending things you do not even believe in.

WASHINGTON — More than 40 percent of the top donors to the Clinton family foundation are based in foreign countries, which could lead to conflict-of-interest questions for Hillary Clinton as she prepares to launch her campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

The left will not care because she is the next messiah
The press will ignore
She has so many warts that the way she wins is by having a complacent MSM,

The Obama administration was worried about this in 2008 and there was a ban on foreign donations for that foundation.
When Hillary left the State Dept the Foundation lifted the ban. At that time Hillary took a major role in its fundraising so now she's even more entrenched in this Foundation.
Now one of the key officers has resigned from the Foundation and he's expected to take on a key role for fund raising for Hillary in 2016. (Dennis Cheng).

So, you go to their website and click on their leadership team and see things like "Clinton Climate Initiative" and you think it's not politically oriented?

https://www.clintonfoundation.org/about/leadership-team

Just wander around there for a bit, you'll see the political ties, the reward jobs etc. It's a political charity.

P.S. I must say I love the irony that they have a program called "to small to fail" as a jab at the bailouts....and then your read the bios of their leadership team.....lmfao.....here are 3 of them...
