After years of claiming that the Clinton Foundation poses no ethical conflicts for Bill and Hillary or the U.S. government, Bill Clinton now admits the truth—sort of.
If his wife becomes President, he says the Super PAC masquerading as a charity won’t accept foreign or corporate contributions. Bill will also resign from the foundation board, and Chelsea will stop raising money for it.
Now they tell us.
If such fund-raising poses a problem when she’s President, why didn’t it when she was Secretary of State or while she is running for President? The answer is that it did and does, and they know it, but the foundation was too important to their political futures to give it up until the dynastic couple were headed back to the Oval Office. Now that Hillary is running ahead of Donald Trump, Bill can graciously accept new restrictions on their pay-to-play politics.
This is their way of getting more solicitations immediately. After the election, they will not be able to bribe or extort money. As much, as easily. So, their business partners better get the money in now.
And if she loses, they will already have all that new money in their bank . They win either way.
But even after they close the door on that foundation, they will find other ways to lie, cheat and steal.
They are Clintons, after all.
Maybe lovely Hillary's brother can head the next great charitable foundation.
