First Read: What Happens to the Clinton Foundation if Hillary Wins?
NBC News ^ | 8/11/16 | CHUCK TODD, MARK MURRAY, CARRIE DANN

Posted on 08/13/2016 9:00:53 AM PDT by Libloather

With the Clinton Foundation once again the recipient of negative headlines, former Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) -- another Republican who says he's backing Hillary Clinton -- recommended that the Clinton family should shut down the foundation if she becomes president. "I would sure as heck suggest that they don't have it," Shays said on "MTP Daily" yesterday. Maybe the Clinton Foundation doesn't have to close its doors if Hillary wins in November, but it will be unsustainable -- for the Clintons and for the foundation -- if it's viewed as a conflict of interest. As former GOP Sen. Dick Lugar (R-IN) noted in 2009 during Hillary Clinton's confirmation hearing to become secretary of state, "The core of the problem is that foreign governments and entities may perceive the Clinton Foundation as a means to gain favor with the secretary of state. Although neither Senator Clinton nor President Clinton has a personal financial stake in the foundation, obviously its work benefits their legacy and their public service priorities." And as we found out, any safeguards that the Clintons and Foundation established to eliminate perceptions problems while Hillary was secretary of state didn't exactly do the trick.

With Julian Assange,GUCCIFERM2.0 and Judicial Watch in the wings it looks like an atomic bomb is about to be dropped and it appears that they all know it.

Here’s Guccifer’s site:

“If she wins, why would she shut down the money machine?”

If she wins, which means that she got away with this level of corruption, it sets the precedent and the standard for establishment politicians. The use of slush funds for laundering foreign donations will be copied over and over again by well-placed, thus invulnerable, establishment politicos.

Your country...andd YOU...will be up for sale to foreigners, and we can be certain Islamic money will continue to be the leader in buying us. If Clinton wins, showing the way to current and future American politicians, we will become slaves to the foreign interests that bought us from those WE elected.

All great nations eventually commit suicide.

A “fully independent” John Podesta will slide right in there and run it for them.

“...CASHIN’ IN !
Like never before...”

Yes, the foundation money will just go straight into the Clingon’s pocket with many payoffs to the Marxist enablers. There will be no laws — Obama and his mob will go WILD and start grabbing (illegally) everything they can with no opposition from the COMPLICIT GOPe. IMHO, it will be a post-American horror story for our citizens.

Now Bill will sell access to the White House. Amazing that this type of behavior has been swept under the rug and will continue if Hillary is elected. Shows that we are no longer a nation of laws and rules. Just corruption. Clintons have proved the US is for sale to the highest bidder

The Clintons made a billion dollars trading as the Secretary of State. How much is a President’s favor worth?

An atomic bomb is always getting ready to be dropped on Hillary but it never arrives. Releasing Nancy Pelosi's phone number won't get it done.

Lugar - not exactly the sharpest tack! What a stupid remark.

By all means SHUT down the Clinton Foundation but don’t forget it has many tentacles which would make it difficult to unsnaggle!

How about the conflict of “donating $1 million to a charity with your name on it, while you pay yourself from the fund?”

If? IF? Of course it is! It always has been more than a conflict of interest, it’s a bribe laundering organization.

“”And let me pile on a bit, and ask, how the heck do daughter Chelsea and her husband afford a luxury $10 million Manhattan co-op apartment??? Who paid for it???””

Her husband is an investment banker - hedge funds? - like his daddy before him except his daddy, a former Congressman went to prison....

Just think - in a perfect world, we could see the grandchildren of Bill and Hillary Clinton have three grandparents who have been in prison or SHOULD be!!! I understand the MIL isn’t any prize either but I guess she has stayed out of prison.

"Although neither Senator Clinton nor President Clinton has a personal financial stake in the foundation, obviously its work benefits their legacy and their public service personal financial priorities."

This is one of the reasons Lugar got himself "retired".

“An atomic bomb is always getting ready to be dropped on Hillary but it never arrives. Releasing Nancy Pelosi’s phone number won’t get it done.”

How true...it’s always “about to happen” but never does. I am also somewhat underwhelmed by guccifer’s release. Definitely fun and games, but it will accomplish very little but be an annoyance. They keep saying there’s more...but isn’t that what people looking for a ransom payment say?

If you have an atom bomb to drop on someone, you use it, you don’t wait around for something else to happen. This has all the signs of being something easily pushed aside by the establishment. Perhaps I am wrong, but this appears to be just bullshit signifying nothing.
