Chelsea Clinton is planning to stay on the board of the Clinton Foundation

Hey, come on, give the girl a break. She needs to have some kind of job, doesn’t she? It’s either this or McDonalds.

The best coverage and complete background on the whole Clinton Foundation controversy I’ve read is from the BBC’s article yesterday. A lot of questions are covered that other sources never ask, or answer. They provide great background and links:

Alleging “pay to play” of the Sec. of State is very serious business. Serious enough that if done without proof that should be even more serious business. I doubt anyone believes it though. Not Trump not the media but what was that famous quote from the media star when asked why she pounded Gore with the internet lie…“because it was so much fun”.

Republicans would cut Chelsea some slack if she’d just go ahead and admit her membership in the Muslim Brotherhood and get it over with.

I feel better about voting for Hillary when I don’t get reminded of all the cushy opportunities that Chelsea has gotten on the backs of her parents’ accomplishments. But the fact is that this is how the Establishment works and will continue to work once Hillary gets elected.

Good for her. Fuck this noise. AP is so full of shit in the first place with their article. The Clinton Foundation does good work. There was never any there there. This is not a matter of quid pro quo and no one has found that to be the case no matter how much the media keeps repeating that rightwing lie and ignoramus talking point. Its all bunk as usual. Any leftwing pundit repeating that bullshit lie because of “optics” or “appearance of impropriety” is a fucking enabling piece of shit and should shut the fuck up. There. I said my peace on this nonsense.

Descent overview but I’m struck by all the implications and speculations with no sign of wrongdoing yet the press keeps it in play. They should do some real work, exonerate or or prove wrong doing. Enough with the speculation and non stories.

If the Foundation is doing good deeds and saving lives, I’m all for it. The haters are gonna hate no matter what. Chelsea just needs to stay true to her conscience.

Besides, the way our political system works, there are hundreds of ways to gain access to candidates outside of a foundation.

Anyone check Paul Ryan’s lunch companions lately? Or Mitch McConnell’s visitors? Guarantee you’ll see more than a few donors in there.

So?
She is not running for office.
She has no reason to quit her job.

You are right, but in order to get stuff done HRC needs credibility, something her husband did a lot to rob the brand of and she too did not help by the Rose Law Firm records thing in the early 90’s. I am voting for her because she can run the government. I just wish the family would put that ahead of everyone else. Someone else can help the poor for the next four to eight years— they are not indispensable for that task, They have something more important to do.

Look, thanks to Trump we’re going to vote for her, she’s going to get elected, you’re going to get your wish, OK? So why don’t you just chill out and stop reminding us why we wish we had a better choice available.

The AP should absolutely taken to the woodshed on this travesty.

So far, I haven’t seen ANYTHING from the AP mentioning the fact that Rump gave 100K to CGI. If Rump’s assertion that the Clinton Fndn. is just a “play to pay” scheme, what did HE get out of it?

I think there are currently some adult children of a presidential candidate who expect a cabinet post if daddy is elected.
