At least 85 of those 154 people, whom met or had phone conversations with Clinton, also donated to her family’s charitable organization either directly or through companies or groups.

Asked why the foundation didn’t simply turn over its programs to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation or some other charity, she said it was now looking for partners.
“I think the Federal Bureau of Investigation should provide the Congress, and consequently the public, an unclassified version that can be released of the report that they had”, the Utah Republican said in an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation”. “When Democrats do that, they call it a conflict”, Brazile said. So did a sports entertainment executive whose charity gave millions to the foundation and who wanted visa assistance for a British soccer player with a criminal history.
“This (foundation) becomes a conduit for people to gain access, and gaining access is a favor”, Pence told CNN’s “State of the Union”.
In an interview released Thursday by CNN, Clinton said that her decisions during her 2009-2013 tenure as the top USA diplomat were never influenced by the interests of donors to the foundation created by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, as suggested by several recent press reports.

They describe it as a smear-job – with a cherry-picked headline number, selectively obtained by including only meetings with private citizens and excluding all the ones with public officials. Her allies would say her network came to life in support of a USA foreign policy imperative.
I doubt Hillary will ever be convicted of any crimes, and there may never be any evidence of corruption actually occurring during her time at state. That’s how they get their money. Did they just want to show that they had done the work?

“It is impossible to figure out where the Clinton Foundation ends and the State Department begins”, Trump said in Austin, Texas, last week. Her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, will remain on the board. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information. That, they will see as a reason to prosecute her and deny her election, even if there is as yet no proof of any criminal action. “I think they’ve … shown over and over again that they’re willing to be transparent and that they have gone beyond the letter of the law, to show that they’re trying to make sure there are bright red, green, purple lines that will separate them from any type of conflict”.
