anyone was actually granted favors, but that they put themselves in a position for it to be easy to make such a claim. What could they have done differently?

1) instituted the recent ban on foreign donations from most countries, when she became SoS. If everything was just so impeccably above board then, why are they making this change now?

2) Bill should not have taken paying gigs from foreign countries while she was SoS.

3) When she became SoS, they all three should have sharply limited their involvement with the Foundation.
