Clinton Foundation to limit Foreign Donations

They will stop accepting money from corporations and
foreign nations IF Hillary becomes President.

Sounds almost honest until you realize its a call to get
your money in now before the doors close. I will bet they
get more donations between now and the election than
they received in the past year. Maybe longer. Depends on
who thinks she is going to win and wants her or Bill's favor.

It's a rather mystifying position to take.

All the arguments made about why she should stop accepting these donations apply equally well to her tenure as Secretary of State, and yet it appears that she kept accepting donations then.

Making the argument that these donations would not influence her would make political sense and would be consistent with her past actions, even if such an argument might be unconvincing to her detractors. On the other hand, if she wants to appease detractors by agreeing that it would be wrong to take such donations it would be more convincing if she stopped accepting donations immediately and apologized for doing so as Secretary of State.

But to make such a promise and to make no change currently just increases the perception of her corruption. It says that she thinks that the donations influence her, and she's more than willing to be influenced up until the election. And of course, since her lying is well known, what guarantee is that she will keep the promise even then? At that point she would be president, and going back on her promises wouldn't cost her the position.

If a Clinton name is attached to it there is nothing honest about it.

Did you read the article in full? Even the first part is a forewarning. "Instead, the family’s organization would take funds only from American citizens and independent charities."

When Bill Clinton had a press conference during his last term in office he decided to address the press in a seemingly spur of the moment of clarity to deny any association with Monica Lewinsky. Starts at 6:23. But watching how he leads up to that is important.Because everything he said was a lie!

Listen to how he denies any involvement with Lewinsky there. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
He makes a statement. A period at the end of that sentence. He pauses. Then he says her name. Ms.Lewinsky.
A totally disassociated reference given the context of the sentence structure itself. I did not have sex with that woman.
What woman? Who?
The pause lengthens the relationship between the next words and the former declaration. Ms.Lewinsky.

And he says it all after he brags about what he and Hillary are planning to do for the people. When he's already betrayed his wife through adultery he's bragging about what he's going to do for other wives, mothers, women.

It isn't what he's saying there that is important. It is how he says he had nothing to do with that woman. In his mind that was truth telling.

That's why that excerpt from the article about the Clinton foundation meets that same Clintolanguage standard.
"Instead, the family’s organization would take funds only from American citizens and independent charities."

Is there such a thing as an independent charity?


I think it is worth the read. Especially for anyone who thinks to believe the latest Clinton lie about their foundation limiting foreign donations.
