Will the Left circle its wagons around the Clintons, or ride off into the sunset without them? The Clinton Foundation announced this week that they would conduct a voluntary internal audit after the exposure of their failure to properly declare millions of dollars from foreign governments to the IRS. A leading progressive group, Common Cause, says that’s not good enough (via Instapundit and the Washington Examiner):
Citing concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the influence of hidden overseas donors, Common Cause called on presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Clinton Foundation today to commission an independent and thorough review of all large donations to the foundation and to release the results.
“As Mrs. Clinton herself observed earlier this week, voluntary disclosure is not enough,” said Common Cause President Miles Rapoport. “A report in Thursday’s New York Times indicates that the Clinton Foundation violated an agreement to identify all of its donors. The foundation’s omissions create significant gaps in the information that voters need to make informed decisions at the polls.”
To ensure that the audit is complete, Rapoport said the foundation should enter into a contractual agreement with auditors to open its books fully and to make public the complete report of their review.
In the meantime, Common Cause wants the Clintons to stop taking cash from foreign governments and corporations, which would mean shutting down entirely:
And to further guard against potential conflicts of interest, the foundation should stop accepting donations from foreign governments and foreign corporations, he said.

If their internal IT work is any indication, they'll just wipe the Clinton Foundation books clean and declare everything balanced.
Uh-huh. In this day & age, the fox not only guards the hen house, he offers to remodel it, as well...
P.J. O’Rourke:
"The principle feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness.
By loudly denouncing all bad things -- war and hunger and date rape -- liberals testify to their own terrific
goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care
deeply about such things. It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy
is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal."
Operation Fat Chance.
To be one of them, you don’t really have to effect substantive change for the good. You only need care and feel good about it. If you can get rich while doing it and celebrate amongst your contemporaries in that aura, all the better.
And they all manage to do that, don't they?
Liberals always claim they want to be elected to do well for others but mostly they do well for themselves.
They go into congress and the senate as paupers and come out as millionaires with gold-plated retirements the rest of us can only dream about.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, yeah, like that's gonna happen with the grifters from arkansas and webb hubbell's off spring.
The Russian Politburo had a term for “arriving” - it was called having a “Dacha” - a separate retreat from their home where they could enjoy life at their leisure (usually with a young girlfriend).
Is that what BJ calls the “love nest” atop the Clinton Presidential Library that Limbaugh always jokes about?
Here’s some quasiquiddity to think about that will keep you thinking. Just suppose that Hillary eventually did get indicted and convicted of a felony related to her emails, foundation and other matters and actually was sentenced to a prison term... Now, I’m wondering what happens to the poor sap Secret Service team that is assigned to guard this bitch’s life. Do they do the jail time with her in the next cell, or what? Do they have to give her a whole wing and the SS are the guards? Enquiring minds want to know!
Actually, I think the first pu$$y shack was in BJ’s Harlem office when he first escaped prosecution after leaving office. Strange choice that.
“Oh, yeah. A voluntary internal audit. That’ll work..”......
Just like having your own “secret” government email system.
I’m sure there was an underlying reason for that location.
Graft, corruption, bribery, access to hookers and drugs, etc.
Bill idolized JFK after meeting him in 63 and was faithful in following the role model.
I want to start my own “foundation”, maybe the Clinton’s can assist me......naw, never mind, I probably wouldn’t aspire to prison life.
Understandable. The term “three-d!ck billy goat” comes to mind.
Robert Reich is the Board Chairman, interesting.
It would appear the Clintons forgot their moral compass
RE: t would appear the Clintons forgot their moral compass
Oh they do have it. It’s just pointing in a different direction :)

President Cruz would suspend her SS protection and send her to iran in exchange for our Marine, journalist and other prisoners.
No quasiquiddity here.
