Bill Clinton: 'It's Hard' To Think About Leaving Foundation |
2016-09-20 |
[NPR.ORG] Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... says that out of the hundreds of thousands of donors to the Clinton Foundation over the past 18 years, there must have been some people who gave to the foundation to gain influence with him and his wife. "All that money! Shut off! Is there any solution? Is there any meaning to the word 'is'?" But the former president told NPR that doesn't mean any donors received anything improperly. "It was natural for people who've been our political allies and personal friends to call and ask for things. And I trusted the State Department wouldn't do anything they shouldn't do," Clinton told Steve Inskeep in an interview broadcast Monday on Morning Edition. Clinton is kicking off the final gathering of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, where heads of state, humanitarians, scientists and other accomplished or influential individuals come together to formulate solutions to global problems. |

#5 Yeah JohnQC...It's really more about the influence you can wield than the actual $ at this point for them. Money=Power and unless the Beast is POTUS, their influence is lessened. That's why they really don't give a rat's ass about leaving the money laundering "charity" as long as she gets elected. |

#3 At our age, leaving the planet might seem like a more likely or appropriate subject to ponder. |

#2 Clinton is kicking off the final gathering of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, where heads of state, humanitarians, scientists and other accomplished or influential individuals come together to formulate solutions to global problems. "Formulating solutions" alright.... but the solutions have absolutely nothing to do with the bloody weather or climate. |

#1 "And I trusted the State Department wouldn't do anything they shouldn't do," Clinton told Steve Inskeep in an interview broadcast Monday on Morning Edition. Even as his wife was the Secretary of State. Where is the (alleged) "opposition" party when it comes to such matters? Oh, that's right. They raised eyebrows for all of 5 minutes, and then turned their efforts back to re-election. When are we going to demand more? |
