Meanwhile, more media outlets are jumping on the shuttering of the Clinton Foundation over the Judicial Watch nothingburger.

Seriously, these fuckers want to shut down a charitable foundation because the Clintons are involved in it. Let’s just ignore the millions of lives across Africa whose lives are improved because the Foundation expanded access to HIV drugs and other health initiatives.

Apparently, someone thinks that this is a bad thing. That someone happens to be right wingers over at Judicial Watch and a pliant media that completely misinterprets the info that JW leaked out in drips and drabs.

Far from Clinton meeting with donors as Sec. State in some kind of pay to play, Huma (yeah, you knew that name was going to come up) was a real gatekeeper demanding that those seeking access go through proper channels to donate to the foundation or seek meetings with Clinton.

In fact, there was a real reason some of these donors met with Clinton while as Secretary of State - the State Department was setting up a public-private partnership to improve health initiatives overseas.

Far from scandalous, this is the kind of thing that we want government to be doing.

Except the right wing/GOP thinks charity begins and ends with Trump’s Foundation buying copies of his book for $50k.
