What's So Bad About the Clinton Foundation?

I'm not an expert on the Clinton Foundation but this article makes some points that I believe are true.

First, the Clintons get no salaries from the Clinton Foundation. Donations to the Clinton Foundation, including donations FROM the Clintons, do not go into Bill's or Hillary's or Chelsea's pockets.

Would people complain if the Clinton's were raising money for some other charity? Probably not. I think critics often think that Clinton Foundation money goes to the Clintons. According to this article that is NOT true.

Second, the Clinton foundation has done a lot of good in the world. According to this article, it has benefitted 430 million people in 180 countries.

Thirdly, the Clinton Foundation is highly regarded by charity watchdog groups. Charity Watch gives it an A.

I also found out that Guidestar gives it a Platinum rating. Charity Navigator does not rate it but that is becasue of its unique business organization not becasue it is considered to be doing something wrong.

Finally, I recently bought the book "Clinton Cash." The author admits that after five years of investigation he cannot find any proof of illegal activities connected to the Clinton Foundation. Like so many attacks on the Clintons those on the Clinton Foundation seem to follow the pattern: claim there is suspicious behavior, call for investigations, investigate, find no proof, call for more investigations....

Don't believe the attacks of Hillary's enemies. Demand proof. In this case, there doesn't seem to be any.
