The question about why now but not when she was Sec State? The answer is simple, because as POTUS she sets policy, as Sec State she didn't. |

Yes, the answer is simple. The point of doing it when she was SecState was to help her become POTUS. When she was the Secretary, she had influence and could make promises to donors about what policy she would set when she became POTUS. When she gets that prize, mission will be accomplished--she will no longer need the Foundation. |

The evil laugh would not be useful when asking for money. It is useful to pooh pooh those who would point out what she was doing. |

You're saying that the SecState has zero authority to set, or even to influence, policy. That is demonstrably false. SecState can't unillaterally declare war. But SecState can decide who to meet with, and who to suggest we sell arms to. During her tenure, it sure seems to have been beneficial for those who want US-made arms, to give big. The guy from Bahrain wrote a personal check of 32M to her foundation, then - VOILA!! - he is able to buy more weapons from America, which he used to crush those who suggested that democracy might be a better option than totalitarianism.
To you, that's not even the appearance of impropriety.
Enjoy your denial-fest. |
