Clinton Family Troubles
The week is off to a rough start for Hillary Clinton. This is because
her husband, her brother and the Clinton Foundation have managed to make
headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Let's begin with
Hillary's brother, Tony Rodham. He has managed to make headlines after
the New York Times revealed information contained in legal documents
which show Rodham admitting that he used the Clinton Foundation to
further his own business deals. The deal cited by The Times took place
in the wake of the earthquake in Haiti when Rodham landed a
multi-million dollar contract to rebuild homes in the country.
Then we have Bill. A headline in the Washington Post over the
weekend reads, “Clinton campaign’s dilemma: What to do with Bill?” It
goes on to describe the latest conference hosted by Clinton in Morocco
in “an opulent 56-room palace” complete with Arabian horses, decorative
swimming pools, palm trees, chauffeurs and “a fine-dining menu of
'biolight' cuisine.” Even more ostentatious was the list of those
attending the conference, including foreign oligarchs and corporate
titans of industry.
The Post goes on to ask, “It was a long way from Hillary Clinton’s
campaign-trail visits to Chipotle. The luxe week in Morocco highlighted
the over-arching question facing the Clintons and their co-existing
circles of political advisers: What to do with Bill?”
The
juxtaposition between Hillary Clinton's painfully inauthentic attempts
to be a woman of the people are laughable when you consider the fact
that her husband is pulling in $500,000 a speech and hobnobbing with
some of the riches people in the world.
Many are starting to wonder what would (or should) become of the
Clinton Foundation, should Hillary become president. Experts point out
that there are no established rules for this sort of situation. Even
during her time as Secretary of State, the rules governing her
Foundation were less than clear and the Clintons took full advantage of
this.
The fluidity between the foundation, speeches and any
influence over America's foreign policies are beyond concerning and may
verge on criminal.
Bill Clinton, for example, was paid upwards of $200,000 by Chinese
government entities to give speeches … just days after his wife,
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, announced the U.S.' infamous “pivot
to Asia.”
Reuters reports today, “The Clinton Foundation has acknowledged
that the government funding totals omitted from their tax returns cannot
be found on their website either, despite the foundation's acting chief
executive officer earlier suggesting they were available there … The
foundation's acknowledgement means precise totals for government grants
to the charity for the last three years of Clinton's four-year tenure as
secretary of state have still not been publicly disclosed.”
That last line is key; We still do not know the full extent to
which foreign governments may or may not have influenced Hillary
Clinton's decisions as Secretary of State because the Clinton Foundation
has yet to fully reveal, in a truly transparent way, funding it
received from foreign governments at the time.
There's widespread agreement that the Clintons are less than
trustworthy. According to a recent Bloomberg Politics poll, “Nearly six
out of 10 likely general-election voters said neither Bill nor Hillary
Clinton can be trusted to tell the truth.” Nearly half of these
general-election voters have an unfavorable opinion of Clinton. However,
she is, by far, the most favored candidate among likely Democratic
voters.
Hillary Clinton's image isn't just about herself. She
has to consider how Bill, Chelsea, her family and her Foundation all
play into her image as a potential presidential nominee. |
