It must be a world wide conspiracy now against one person.

29. Can't believe so many here in denial bout Hillary. Where there's smoke, there's fire; where there's fire, there's a ragin inferno.

10. You signed up 2 months ago and you're telling others...To take the blinders off? It seems like you're the one with blinders on, your obsession with Hillary. If the only thing you're going to contribute here is anti-Hillary rhetoric maybe this isn't the forum for you. Your obsession is creepy

59. "It's not illegal and its (sic) transparent"...
.... your attitude is the perfect example of why our country is headed off a cliff. Government by and for the highest bidder, brought to you by complacent, no complicit, fools.

15. oops
"Bill and Hillary Clinton’s charitable foundation reportedly received about $81 million from seven donors via a Swiss bank allegedly used by the super rich as a tax dodge.
Among the Clinton Foundation donations through HSBC clients reportedly included thousands from a convicted sex offender."
I will definitely ignore that and clap even harder.

23. still, only evidence of an 'appearance' of a conflict of interest
...show me where Hillary benefits directly from those contributions.
from the NYT editorial:
"No critic has alleged a specific conflict of interest. The foundation, in fact, went beyond normal philanthropic bounds for transparency six years ago in instituting voluntary disclosure of donors within broad dollar ranges on its website. But this very information can feed criticism."

44. LOL. A truly pathetic attempt at a smear.
If the professional Hillary haters have to resort to things like this, it's a great sign.
Here's the thing. The point of this story is that some donors to the Clinton foundation had accounts at HSBC, which is currently under investigation.
What they fail to mention is that HSBC is the second largest bank in the world. A lot of people and organizations have accounts there. And, hilariously, the Clinton Foundation wasn't even one of them.
Of course, even if they did, that would mean nothing. It would be like saying that anyone with a Chase account is partly responsible for the financial crisis.
But this is even stupider. It's not even guilt by association, it's by association to association. It's like saying that anyone who ever cashes a check from someone else with a Chase account is responsible for the financial crisis!

50. RW BS nt
Imagine if you will this story:
Jeb Bush’s charitable foundation reportedly received about $81 million from seven donors via a Swiss bank allegedly used by the super rich as a tax dodge.
Among the Bush Foundation donations through HSBC clients reportedly included thousands from a convicted sex offender.
All this came to light after a whistleblowing former HSBC employee at the Swiss branch leaked thousands of confidential documents about the bank’s account holders and transactions in what has become known as SwissLeaks.
I wonder what the chatter on DU would be like?

Does the foundation pay salaries to her, him, members of their family, or close allies/associates? Does it make grants to close associates, supporters, and bundlers? It's just a money laundromat.
I notice none of them go any pains to explain the benign, apolitical, and beneficial undertakings of that foundation.

Even lefty Juan Williams said that all this stuff makes Hillary look very bad, even though it is "legal".
