Love and Peace.

And it really is only about "helping the Children."

Well, except for that bump in the payments to Bill for his speeches in front of corporate podiums.

And except for Algeria giving lots of dough to said foundation while Algerian officials were conducting talks with the HRC-led State Department.

And then there is that nasty little matter of how one woman, who likes Big Business-style profitable deals and also wants to President, helped Russians secure the sale of one fifth of this nation's uranium supply.

And reports keep coming in about all the armaments dealings that have probably come about due to how so many officials in nations where deadly armaments are a daily part of life have gone and ponied up monies to same Foundation.

2010 - 2012: The Clinton Foundation incorrectly lists no donations whatsoever from foreign governments in its yearly tax returns. These three years are the only full fiscal years during Clinton's term as secretary of state. In the immediately previous years, foreign governments donated tens of millions of dollars every year. In 2015, Reuters will report that in fact foreign governments did continue to give tens of millions each year during this time. After Reuters discovers the discrepancies, The Clinton Foundation will acknowledge the oversight and claims it will refile at least five years of tax returns to fix it. However, the Clinton campaign will also call allegations of corruption in The Clinton Foundation "absurd conspiracy theories." (Reuters, 4/23/2015)

January 14, 2010: Algeria makes a large donation to The Clinton Foundation in violation of the foundation's rules, while Algeria is heavily lobbying Clinton's State Department.

1. Hey, what's that over there.

5. W-h-a-t? Your response proves the point that people suppporting Clinton either:

A) Lack values over what is and is not appropriate for government elected officials to be doing

B) Are totally ignorant of what is going on

C) Or, and this is perhaps worse, don't totally lack values about what is and is not moral and ethical and appropriate for governmental elected officials to be involved in, but they give Hillary a free pass that they would not give to someone like Di Feinstein, or any of the Bushes, or Dick Cheney.

D) They' re making a pact with the devil

2. "Oh, it is all just a vast right wing conspiracy to get her and you just hate her."

That is the reply I just got from someone when I asked why anyone would vote for a power-hungry liar.

Hold on to your hat.

keep up the good work.

3. Yet it gets an A rating among charities and helps poor people all over the world

But I suppose you would begrudge taking money from rich people to help the poor. So sad.

[truedelphi]

9. A lot of entities get A and A plus ratings. If I remember correctly

Just about every firm on Wall Street received an A plus rating the winter of 2007 and 2008.

If the agencies in charge of ratings don't hand the entity requesting a good rating the A plus rating asked for, the entity goes elsewhere. (A good and fun way to understand the rating system is to watch the movie "The Big Short.&quot

However, I do know that Sean Penn thought the Foundation was helpful in Haiti. However the fact that the Foundation does actually perform charitable duties should not mean the Foundation gets a free pass on some of its dirty laundry, which by the way includes the way it has a propensity to act as money-laundering-style bank.

12. You clintonistas are so predictable.

4. GDP nonsense.

[truedelphi]

7. Wall Street-controlled New York Times actually leans toward Clinton -

So are you intimating that Jo Becker and Mike McIntire of the NYT's are totally making up their Apr 2016 article on the uranium deals out of their imaginations? Or what?

[Kingofalldems]

8. Post belongs in GDP.

That's what I am intimating.

Any post mentioning a candidate's name goes to GDP. And that's from Skinner, not me.

[truedelphi]

10. Excuse me, but the Foundation is Bill's Foundation. He set it up.

This post is not about HRC's running strategies. It is not about her platform that she is running on.

It is not about voters liking her or not liking her.

It is about a particular history and examination of a Foundation that goes back to 1997.

[Kingofalldems]

11. Sure. Come on.

So what is post #5 about if not Hillary Clinton?
