Today's contribution to the story about the Clinton Foundation contributions while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State comes from Vox.com, an extremely liberal site set up by Ezra Klein. Klein has been a frequent guest on MSNBC, and he was, for a time, the replacement host for Rachel Maddow when she was on vacation or unavailable. To put it mildly, Klein and Vox are not right wing or conservative sources. That is what makes the independent research done by Vox so important. Vox reports that there are almost 200 companies which gave big donations to the Clinton foundation at the same time that they were lobbying the State Department when it was headed by Hillary Clinton. Check out the list at the linked report. No more can the Clintons call this a product of a right wing conspiracy (although to be fair, that charge was ridiculous given the involvement of the New York Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek and other members in good standing of the liberal mainstream media.) No more can the Clintons or their representatives call this "small" or "sporadic". Having 181 companies that gave massive amounts of cash to Hillary Clinton while simultaneously lobbying the State Department is not a small or sporadic thing. This is no mere coincidence. It is a pattern and practice of impropriety.
It's too bad that we don't have all of Hillary's emails. I can see them now: one comes from drug maker AstraZeneca which gave millions to the Foundation; it reads, "Dear Hillary, If you can't afford you life style and your future political campaigns, Astra Zeneca may be able to help."
