Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department

111. Then stop asserting that foundations don't benefit the founders

To most celebrities, politicians and millionaire/billionaires, "non-profit" foundations are just another tool to perpetuate their wealth. Yes, there are exceptions, such as the Carter Foundation, but they are, sad to say, uncommon.

Jared Fogal and his foundation are currently in the news, which invites comparisons when people claim foundations are evidence of altruism, and do not financially benefit the founders. If HRC was steering defense contracts to a foundation donor, that is a quid pro quo, morally, if not legally. And I can't see that supporting an arms dealer whose stock and trade is killing people is much different than a pedophile. Actually, it is arguably worse, given that arms dealers help kills thousands, perhaps millions, whereas a pedophile can't operate on that scale.

Also, the enemy of your political crush is not always a member of the GOP. Some of us simply don't like people who consider Henry Kissinger a "friend" and who values his "advice". Some of us haven't forgotten her defense of DOMA, her defense of "welfare "reform", her support for the prison system and her vote for war in Iraq.
