“I think Tom got a little carried away.”
agree-—
...but to his point, big Dems and big Dem media are squealing-—and the Clinton surrogate dogs (a la, Carville) covering the airwaves are hysterical:

Boston Globe, Aug 16
Ed Rendell on Sat, Aug 13th:
“I definitely think if she wins the presidency they have to disband it. I know it’ll be hard for President (Bill) Clinton because he cares very deeply about what the foundation has done,” former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a close Clinton ally, told the Daily News. “It’d be impossible to keep the foundation open without at least the appearance of a problem.”

Boston Globe on Tuesday, Aug 16:
The Clintons should move now to end donations to the foundation, and make plans to shut it down in November. Even if they’ve done nothing illegal, the foundation will always look too much like a conflict of interest for comfort.
Apparently, Clintons’ efforts to plug the dike and appease the Dems weren’t reassuring:
Aug 18 -— “The Clinton Foundation said ***Thursday [Aug 18] *** it will not accept foreign or corporate donations if Hillary Clinton is elected president in November.”
“Bill Clinton also plans to cease giving paid speeches”
“... he would resign from the Clinton Foundation board, should Hillary Clinton win in November.”
“Bill Clinton also said the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York next month will be the final CGI meeting, no matter what happens with Hillary Clinton in November.”

Huff Po Senior Politics Editor Sam Stein:
Stein said, “[T]hey definitely need to shut this thing down or transfer it to the — to some other foundation. … I mean, can you imagine, the people she’s going to have to meet with as president, assuming she wins, it’ just going overlap constantly. We’ll have stories like this nonstop. There’s too much ethical murkiness here.”
