Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary Clinton’s foundation received donations from foreign governments and agency promoting Keysto [View all]
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/hillary-clintons-foundation-received-donations-from-foreign-governments-and-agency-promoting-keystone-xl-10055024.htmlAs Hillary Clinton increasingly is mentioned as the top Democratic 2016 presidential candidate, a look into donations to her foundation by the Wall Street Journal has revealed gifts from foreign governments and a Canadian agency supporting the Keystone XL pipeline.
Mrs Clinton has yet to confirm that she will run for president in next years elections, but she is easily the most popular option in a limited field. Should she run, some donations to the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation could raise ethical questions.
When Mrs Clinton began her service as US secretary of state in 2009, the foundation stopped accepting gifts from foreign governments. But Mrs Clinton has rejoined the foundation and it again has been accepting donations from overseas.
Among the nations that have donated money to the foundation are the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Australia, Germany and a Canadian government agency that promotes the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

OP
That's a creative way to rationalize approval ratings which don't validate a preexisting bias.

I think you're getting away with posts meant to do nothing other than to sow hate and division.

Apparently, you couldn't make a cogent argument, so you went for the cheap shot?
