181 Clinton Foundation donors who lobbied Hillary's State Department

[MrMickeysMom]

The size and scope of the symbiotic relationship between the Clintons and their donors is striking. At least 181 companies, individuals, and foreign governments that have given to the Clinton Foundation also lobbied the State Department when Hillary Clinton ran the place, according to a Vox analysis of foundation records and federal lobbying disclosures.

* The Clinton Foundation reports contributions in ranges.

That's not illegal, but it is scandalous.

[Joe Turner]

1. Looks like Hillary has all her bases covered

Corporate bases that is.

[DURHAM D]

2. I donate to the Foundation

and I have never asked for a thing. I do appreciate the coffee mug however.

[Rex]

3. We've been living in a plutocracy for 35 years.

I guess you can throw out this toward HRC, but know that she is just one of a countless number. This has been Business As Usual for decades...

Scandalous? Guess again...this is - Business. As. Usual.

[MrMickeysMom]

4. I dunno, Rex…

I've about had it with BAU…

I've been hearing so much about which leaders reach the people in the country and how the Clintons are better recognized by African Americans, who, let's face it, are more affected by the decisions on behalf of these mega-corporations…

Maybe BAU isn't the way to go…

[Man from Pickens]

5. Perfectly normal

none of those donors got anything in exchange at all

I pinky swear on my email server

[MrMickeysMom]

18. Oohhh….

Okay!

[Chicago1980]

6. So what...

[Octafish]

7. There are things more important than money.

It seems some will never know.

[certainot]

8. if you're going to start a foundation to help poor girls and women

around the world do you try to get that money from the poor and middle class, or companies like that?

hmmmmm

what's REALLY scandalous is the way 90 of our major universities rent their sports mascots to 270 limbaugh/kkk/republican radio stations.

[Buzz Clik]

20. +1

though I don't understand the bit about the mascots...

[pnwmom]

9. The Clinton Foundation funds go to charity, not to the Clintons' pockets.

They don't take salaries for the work they do there. So why is this so scandalous?

[JDPriestly]

12. Because Foundations decide public policy, and because Foundations make those who

sponsor and to some extent run them look good.

[pnwmom]

14. The foundation's goals look laudable to me. So what's wrong with taking money

and spending it toward those goals?

Would you rather Bill Clinton take up painting, like George Bush? Would that be a better use of his time?

[Man from Pickens]

15. then we come to the part

where the percentage of funds actually spent on those goals is miniscule

[MrMickeysMom]

19. And, they look laudable, so...

The alternative choice was a war criminal… painting?

The point was missed on the oldest formulate in the book… opportunity of back door. This stuff was described pretty well in a book titled, Reagan's Ruling Class.

Clandestine influence through donations to a foundation run by whoever's in the state department is consistency of less than audible goals. But, who would dare question it? Not the MSM, nor the faithful.

Perhaps it would be more transparent for the laudable goal of corporation to be enacted on behalf of the 99% of the people long forgotten in this country, not an obligatory group within a non-transparent foundation deeply embedded with corporatism.

[Buzz Clik]

21. +1

[bigdarryl]

22. Because there a TROLLS posing as democrats on DU

And ever since Mrs.Clinton announced she was running all you see posted on hear is Hillary hate

[stonecutter357]

10. .

[JDPriestly]

11. It's bad enough that they were making donations while lobbying the State Department, but

now with Hillary running for president, the bad has gone to worst. Worst.

[mylye2222]

13. Agree.

And the worst is that Clinton are so much protected that even the question raised dont touch Hillarys bid. Any other candidate with that baggage would have been forever discredited by MSM, and even forced ti stop his/her bid.

[MrMickeysMom]

17. This seems to have gone over some people's head here...

If you're a corporation, this isn't a big deal…

Corporations are people, but they sure can lobby better than ordinary people. Perhaps the SCOTUS should have stratfied the level of "personhood" so we can all look more fondly as to how persons may lobby who's in charge of the State Department. No matter…. It's the Clinton Foundation.

Uh, yes, this was real paranoia, wasn't it?

[Scuba]

16. Hillary promised there would be no hint of conflict-of-interest, so there isn't any.

Yeah, that's it.
