The assertions above obscure the problems unearthed through years of investigative reporting on the foundation. Journalist David Sirota, who has reported extensively on the Clinton Foundation, rounded up a sample of the stories that provide a window into Clinton Foundation issues:

    The Washington Post found that two months after Secretary Clinton encouraged the Russian government to approve a $3.7 billion deal with Boeing, the aerospace company announced a $900,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation.
    The Wall Street Journal found that Clinton made an “unusual intervention” to announce a legal settlement with UBS, after which the Swiss bank increased its donations to, and involvement with, the Clinton Foundation.
    The New York Times reported that a Russian company assumed control of major uranium reserves in a deal that required State Department approval, as the chairman of the company involved in the transaction donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation.

The Intercept has also reported on the Clinton Foundation and the conduct of the State Department under Clinton. Leaked government documents obtained by The Intercept revealed that the Moroccan government lobbied Clinton aggressively to influence her and other officials on the Moroccan military occupation of Western Sahara, which holds some of the world’s largest reserves of phosphate, a lucrative export for the kingdom.

As part of its strategy for influence, the Moroccan government and companies controlled by the kingdom donated to the Bill Clinton presidential library, the Clinton Foundation, and hired individuals associated with the Clinton political network. Despite a statement by the Obama administration that suggested it would reverse the previous Bush administration support for the Moroccan government and would back a U.N.-negotiated settlement for the conflict in Western Sahara, Clinton announced there would be “no change” in policy — and has gone on to praise the Moroccan government’s human rights record.

Hate speech, hate speech-trump called someone an idiot. Vote Hillary-sigh dems.

I hope the country comes to its senses -if the IHL wins-the lunatic fringe has gone mainstream. God help us all.

How dare she deal with one of our closest and oldest allies in North Africa! The nerve of her! What's next? She going to hire Paul Manafort?

Man, it is a good thing we know how clean Trump is. His tax returns ... beyond reproach. Sparkling.

Sure the hedge fund nd wall street funded candidate who speaks of the little guy-LOL-dems are so easy to fool. Just say the right words-a parrot would win the dem nomination if all it did was repeat the right words.

Irony is all the hippies and the folks who cry about the 1% are going to vote for the candidate that is overwhelmingly supported by wall st and hedge funds-LOL..........

Did you miss the bit where Obama pledged to pressure Morocco on their illegal occupation, only to have Hillary's State Department take a different approach after a donation and the hiring of Clinton-connected individuals?

And yet there are people who swear she's gonna go all out to overturn Citizen's United.

The article contains examples of her and the Foundations relationship with Fracking Lobbyists and on many other issues. The UBS one was particularly obnoxious. The IRS had them balls to the wall on 1000s of instances of assisting in tax fraud, but she arranged a wristslap arrangement using her authority as Sec of State. After some big donations. Kind of like her Bankruptcy Bill vote.

Trump = dangerously incorrect answer, to a real problem.
Clinton = no answer at all.

Dems/Independents ain't fooled at all.

How so?
Clinton = no answer at all.
She si part of the dangerous system that is leading to the decline of America and offers more of the same-the most shamelessly corrupt politician in recent history. Not to mention the swinging of the pendulm from actual racism to whatever passes for SJWs these days-she is the apex of that.

Dems are fooled alright-voting for a candidate that got 7 million from k street -the same lobbyists that donated 0 to trump.

All very good, but clinton is far too smart and experienced at covering her ass to leave anything to be found other than unprovable appearances of unseemly conduct. As both the billary twins have proven time and time again they don't care how unseemly things look and their rabid syncopate followers care even less.

That being said it doesn't make trump any less a totally unqualified bullshit artist con man either. Anyone who actually believes in either of the two, including a lot of patnetters, has to be brain damaged.

The only possible good outcome for this election would be a terrorist strike on one of the debates followed by getting new candidates that actually should be president of the United States.
