Thoughts About the Clinton "Foundation"

The Clinton "Foundation" is a family business. 

The word "Foundation" should always be put in scare quotes going forward.

That's my first thought.

My other thoughts on the "Foundation" are as follows:

The Clinton "Foundation" Corporation seems to have had a few main areas of operation:

1) Providing a seemingly unending and incredibly lucrative source of inter-generational family income.
2) Facilitating the purchase of American governmental services, influence, preferred treatment and access.
3) Acting as "protection", based on fee for service, something akin to mafia protection. Nice [whatever] you got there, would be a real shame if anything happened to it.

It cost ABC George upwards of $50K, which is chump change for the Clintons. 

Nice [cushy journalism gig you got there], would be a real shame if anything happened to it.

Nice [business you got running here], would be a real shame if anything happened to it.

Nice [government/private sector/union/non-profit/teaching job] you got there, would be a real shame if anything happened to it.

You can probably think of examples of all of these yourselves.
