This is all theater. Whether the Clintons are running the foundation or not they are in charge and don't forget it.

Also, they need a job and power base for Chelsea so there is no way she is going away. The Clinton's, through their foundation have taken the art of political graft and corruption to never before seen levels.

My guess is if they are forced to abandon the foundation they will put Obama in charge. Yes you read that right, that could be what they bought him off with

... still too busy looking for those bank speech transcripts. It's a lot harder to find these, since I wiped my server. But i'm still looking into it, trust me!

You could check out Richard Cohen's column in the washington post today for a humorous take on the foundation donations.

If people are not on the up and up, even shutting it down won't help though. You can stop Clinton and Chelsea and her husband from picking up speaking fees and you can't stop Hillary and her co-Presidents from being grateful.

She's waiting for the checks to clear. The time between the November election and her inauguration will see an unheard-of influx of cash to the foundation, probably multiple billions. Those who pay get to play. Everyone, and I mean everyone, who wants to play will pay.

I have in my hand the annual reports of both the Clinton Foundation and the Carter Foundation.

Here is a snippet from the Clinton Foundation:

INDUSTRY AGREEMENT MILESTONES

Over the past two years, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation
has continued to engage some of America’s leading food and
beverage companies to increase access to healthier options.
Building on the success of its previous effort to remove calories
from beverages sold in schools across the U.S. by 90 percent,
in 2014 the Alliance negotiated a new voluntary agreement
with the American Beverage Association, The Coca-Cola
Company, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, and PepsiCo to reduce
beverage calories consumed per person nationally by 20
percent by 2025. This effort will allow the beverage companies
to leverage their marketing, innovation, and distribution
strength to increase and sustain consumer interest in and
access to beverage options in order to help consumers reduce
the calories they consume. Additionally, the Alliance worked
with 14 food companies and group purchasing organizations
to expand industry school agreements already in place with
the Alliance to the out-of-school time environment, and added
General Mills as a partner to all existing agreements. Finally, in
2013 the Alliance joined with McDonald’s to increase customers’
access to fruit and vegetables and help families and children
make informed choices in keeping with healthy, balanced
lifestyles.

More later.

Many don't realize the multifarious ways in which the Foundations (there are several) help the Clintons hoover up the wealth of nations. Aside from getting donations for access and favors, they enable the Clintons to "donate" their speech money back to foundation coffers and avoid paying income taxes. Neat, huh? They also enable Bill to help his rich buddies set up tax-avoidance schemes in foreign countries via shell companies (Panama Papers) and get in on the lucrative developmental, rebuilding, charity scams in disaster (Haiti) and war-torn areas (thanks to the Mad Bomber Hillary). Whatever happened to the Panama Papers anyway? Disappeared along with Hill's yoga emails?

initiatives and untold number of "corporate partnerships". There's the Canadian entity the Clintons launder foreign donations through, just in case Obama decides to get "tough" on them and apply RICCO laws (yeah, right). Honestly, the entire apparatus reminds me of an octopus that keeps growing new tentacles. See Frank Norris "The Octopus".

I found a mind-blowing rundown on a conservative site, the only kind of sites telling the truth lately:
