MANY DONORS TO CLINTON FOUNDATION MET WITH HER AT STATE

[Seriously?]

Per the AP. More than 1/2 of the donors to the Clinton Foundation met with Hillary Clinton when she was SoS, which according to the news organization is "extraordinary proportion."

Its a huge charity. But I guess more smoke for people to get excited about.

Would it have hurt Seriously to un-capitalize the title before bringing it over ?

it is really awful that so many people have chosen to donate to the needy.

Not if I want to remain consistent with the source.

Amazing that Clinton would meet with/call a Nobel Prize winning economist running a microloan program with the US State Department/USAID.

[Fusionmunster]

I kinda think one of the reasons Obama chose Hillary to be SoS was due to her huge network of contacts. Its not surprising she used it during her years at state.

Talk to the AP about that. That's their style guide and their headline, not mine. I kept it in all caps for consistency purposes with the source article, which is technically proper.

So?

[Joe Republic]

Keeping source formatting even though it looks ridiculous at the place where you're reposting it because reasons...

I'm enjoying the near perfect inverse correlation between Trump's polling numbers and the vitriol level of Seriously's nonsensical attacks on Hillary Clinton each day.

LOL.
Really ?

It doesn't look good, but that is likely just about all it is, something benign that doesn't look good.

That's the remarkable thing with Hillary, though. She seems completely incapable of understanding how her decisions and actions will be perceived by others, and thus we end up with crap like this. I can just see her saying, "oh no, this is fine. they are just donating to charity. it won't really matter", and that is assuming she even thought of it at all. I wonder if Bill or any of her aides ever brought up how bad some of the things she decided to do will look. How can they not have seen this? It doesn't matter if none of those donations were bribes. Perception is too important, especially when she knows she is going to run for freakin president again.

Maybe Breitbart-level conservatives are right, she does have a brain disease - one that, sometime in college or after, completely ate away at the part of her brain that allows her to understand how others might perceive something she wants to do.

This is all concerning. Make no mistake, I really want Hillary to win this, but I'm worried about her careless streak once she's President. There's really too much to lose.

That's not true. The AP excluded 16 foreign governments from the 154 number because it was presumed that Hillary would meet with the heads of these foreign governments in her role as Secretary of State.

So they were giving her the benefit of the doubt there.

As far as the all caps goes, that's AP's doing, not mine. As post this is citing an article, the headline should not be altered, if at all possible.

This sums it up. The optics aren't great but in the US all that really matters is quid pro quo and if anything the emails seem to prove she didn't engage in any of that.

The GOP is going to overplay this again and noone who was possibly going to vote for her will care.
