So beyond sick and tired of the criticism of the Clinton Foundation and CGI

It's swift boating, people! Pure and simple! It's also garbage. The good work that CGI and CF does is beyond reproach from AIDS in Africa to Central American poverty! I followed them from inception and they used to be praised for their incredible deeds before the media decided to use it as a Clinton-bashing device and CGI was a place for brilliant people to converse about solving all the worlds problems.

Buzz off all who disparage CF and CGI. Maybe grow a brain and read about its good works.

CF meet 'Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.'

of the help it brings to those suffering from AIDS in Africa. A lot of these right-wing fundamentalist still believe that AIDS is a punishment from God.

Great read - ....snip.....

So while Trump is screaming that the Clinton Foundation should be shut down and that a Special Prosecutor should be chosen to investigate “their corruption”, he’s again spreading lies and conspiratorial bullshit — but this time it’s bullshit that could literally put the lives and health of millions of people at risk, while he plans to keep making money from 551 internationals businesses and have his “kids run them.”

So angry that 2 genuinely good projects like these are being lied about. It truly is the lowest of the low when the least fortunate among our global village may suffer due to these lies.

We do need pushback. In fact, the DNC should have made CF and CGI a centrepiece of the convention due to the extraordinary work they do.

CF and CGI - extraordinary work they do. You are so right..

When you read through the article you will see, in a nutshell, how they are going to bang trump up against the wall..and anyone else who wants to come along and try to trip the election -

I was certainly reassured and Anderson does a fine job...be well..

seem to believe this bunk about how bad the Foundation is. It wasn't until the talk about Hillary running for president started that anyone said a bad word about it. There was high praise for the Foundation from the beginning. I hope they can let someone else run it while she is president. I would hate to see it stop helping people.

as seen on DKOS.

And this is but a fraction of the good work they do on a global scale.
What was Trump doing with his billions & his global connections, when the Clintons were organizing something of such a benefit to humanity?

Of course Trump & the republicans see no value to such a thing.
This good is all way over their heads.
