“Janet Yellen , Lael Brainard whom I know, several others, these are really smart people and they’ll do what they think is right”, Clinton said in an exclusive interview with CNBC from the Clinton Global Initiative’s annual meeting in NY.

According to Politico, the Foundation has alerted “dozens” of staffers inside the Clinton Global Initiative that their jobs will be eliminated at the end of 2016.
It’s incredible that while decrying the “evils” of money in politics, Democrats have no moral problem with Hillary and Bill personally enriching themselves through their elaborate “pay-to-play” scheme, accepting donations from global corporations, foreign leaders and shady benefactors, all in return for favors from the Clinton State Dept. and potentially from a future Clinton Administration.

Bill Clinton is fudging it with the “hundreds of thousands donors”.
