Bill Clinton's Africa entourage (Annie Karni 4-28-2015 Politico)

[bobthedrummer]

"Donors and big campaign fundraisers join him on his annual foundation trip abroad."
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/04/bill-clintons-africa-entourage-117445

I wasn't invited even though I voted straight Democratic for the first time in my life in 2008 and repeated that in 2012.

I don't regret not being invited to a weekend in the Hamptons with Liz Robbins and her hubby either.

Do you?

1. Is this the reason

Marc is not on the campaign trail????

[bobthedrummer]

2. I do wonder about friends of the Foundation and the Clintons past and present like Dick Morris and

John Rendon and Henry Kissinger and many others-don't you?

3. There were several war profiteers exec's on safari last year, corporately globally speaking.

The real DU reality-based community grasps the networking from one sector to another, from government/military to the private sector contracted for all kinds of vital, "hard work" by "the government/military".

13. Clintons, Contras and Cocaine (Jeffrey St. Clair-Alexander Cockburn March 11, 2016)

This article focuses on Jackson Stephens and his son Warren longtime Clinton donors/supporters.

"Just as the BCCI trail leads back towards Arkansas and a prime cash register for the Clintons, so too does a long-running and explosive scandal within the state, involving money-laundering, drug-running and support for right-wing insurgents backed by the CIA."

16. Are people actually against Bill raising money to fight AIDS, help farmers, etc.

As long as their are billionionaries, let them do something useful like getting involved in helping others.

The Clinton Foundation has an A rating by one of organizations that rate charities. The other has elected not to rate it

https://www.charitywatch.org/ratings-and-metrics/bill-hillary-chelsea-clinton-foundation/478

The other charity rating group put the Clinton Foundation on its watch list, which the New York Post of course presented as meaning the charity was suspicious. But, that's not actually the case:

https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.profile&ein=311580204#.VuxtiPkrJjE

Why isn't this organization rated?

We had previously evaluated this organization, but have since determined that this charity's atypical business model can not be accurately captured in our current rating methodology. Our removal of The Clinton Foundation from our site is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of this charity. We reserve the right to reinstate a rating for The Clinton Foundation as soon as we identify a rating methodology that appropriately captures its business model.

19. Google Clinton Foundation Haiti

And find out about the sleazy shit that went on there. Lined a lot of pockets, but didn't much help the poor people that needed it.

[Onlooker]

20. Stop reading right-wing news sources

Yeah, I see a few links about scandal from WND, Fox News, Washington Examiner, FreeBeacon, etc. Is this a coordinated attack on the foundation by Sanders and the RNC? Or just coincidence?
