The corruption angle on the Clinton Foundation looks like it is the same thing they (Clintons) did with the Arkansas Development Finance Authority when Bill was Governor. That entity essentially was a money laundering front and a way to receive large amounts of cash for the political empire.
Bill was the AG of Arkansas before he became Governor. When you have people turn up dead with 5 gunshot wounds to the head and the death is ruled a suicide it makes one take notice.

What will honestly happen if Hillary is elected POTUS? Will we have a majority of citizens in this country who despise our Pres. and are outspoken against her?
Will there be rioting and outcry against her, resulting in National Guard troops being called or Martial Law?

Just out of curiosity, outside of right-wing propaganda, do any of you know what the Clinton Foundation actually does?
If you're interested (I'm betting you're not) here's a primer: FactCheck - Where does Clinton Foundation Money Go?

What part of that should be shut down, again?

One independent philanthropy watchdog did an analysis of Clinton Foundation funding and concluded that about 89 percent of its funding went to charity.
To bolster its case, CARLY for America noted that the Clinton Foundation spent 12 percent of its revenue on travel and conferences and 20 percent of its revenue on salaries. That’s true. But the Form 990 specifically breaks out those travel, conference and salary expenses that are used for “program service expenses” versus those that are used for management or fundraising purposes.
So yeah, what part should be shut down? All of it, every last corrupt iota of it.

Thanks, Gryph! I'll educate myself. Hopefully, Don reads this, too, so he can be more aware of what he's speaking about. I doubt he will, though.

I just read it, quoted it, and explained why his source is pulling the Dem trick of lies through truth.
They admit the money goes to stuff like salary and travel .. but claim since it's labeled as program spending it counts as charitable spending.

I thought the point was to show how it's charitable still because she used the proper label for travel, conferences, and salary expenses.
Basically the knock is that she is using the charity as a front by labeling stuff as charitable when it's not, and your response is to quote a source that shows how it's almost all charitable because she labels it that way.

Yes, speaking for myself, I'm fully aware of their mission statement and other stated goals.
The FBI is doing an investigation in to possible corruption within the Clinton Foundation so irrespective of what facts are apparent, an FBI probe into corruption is transpiring which calls into question any legitimacy the Foundation lays claim on. Once the FBI investigation is completed and the findings made public, we can again revisit 'where does CF money go?'
