Isn't it just grand?

All they have to do is declare someone else the "director" and then they resume power again after leaving office. All of the payoffs and bribes will be allowed to occur, as usual, under the guise of the foundation.

I wonder how much of America, which secrets, which trade deals, and which tax incetives will be for sale? It simply makes one giddy to find out a few years later to discover how much they made.

It is very sad, yet predictable, that dems would re-establish the biggest crime family in American political history, since Tamany Hall and Boss Tweed, back to the White House. Clerarly, democrats are so corrupt that they do not care about the rule of law anymore.

Default If Hillary is POTUS, can she keep her "foundation" pay for play business open?

If Hillary is POTUS, is "the bank open" for donations (bribes) to the Clintons? If there is a suspension of activity, why would not foreign nations, lobbyists, ect just agree to defer payment until Hillary is out of office?

The presidency may make Hillary the first political billionaire (Al Gore has not made it yet) at the expense of the nation.

Did Cheney's Halliburton profit from the Gulf War he started?

There's a reason older folks become jaded when it comes to politics.
They have lived long enough and seen enough to know better.
People in Texas are slower. Why take money for the Foundation when speaking fees more than cover their lifestyle? Think these things through before you post.

Now I can see why there are democrat voters.

Surely you can read (although I am beginning to wonder, given that Americans are losing IQ points every decade). Why in the world do you choose to apologize or rationalize the corrupt behavior of a politician that views you as a human piggy bank?

PS-

Travel the rest of the US and the world. There are interesting things out there. I used to own property on 7th in DC and understand that town (like most urban centers) are very provincial.
