New York Times: "Many Dealings of Bill Clinton Are Under Review"

[ClarkUSA]

Abner Mikva - former federal judge, law professor, member of Congress, reformer of Chicago politics, chairman of the
Illinois Human Rights Commission... and former White House Counsel to President Bill Clinton - told the today:

The vetting of Mr. Clinton's myriad philanthropic and business dealings is "complicated, and it may be the complications
that are causing hesitation on both sides," said Abner J. Mikva, one of Mr. Obama's closest supporters and a White House
counsel during the Clinton administration. "There would have to be full disclosure as to who all were contributors to his
library and foundation. I think they'd have to be made public."

While aides to the president-elect declined Monday to discuss what sort of requirements would make it possible for Mrs.
Clinton to serve as secretary of state, they said Mr. Obama would not formally offer her the job unless he was satisfied
that there would be no conflicts posed by Mr. Clinton's activities abroad...

“It’s not just what he does or says — it’s the fact that the foundation is involved with foreign countries, some of which
might well be in conflict with U.S. policy,” Mr. Mikva said. “It’s more than a legal problem — there are ethical problems
and appearance problems.”

1. Bill Clinton has done a lot of good work in the world

I'd hate to see any of that stop. It's a tough call.

2. One can see the possibilities of problems and a press eager

to delve into them.
