(6,604 posts)"Tim Cole willhillarywin.com" (less the quotes), the LinkedIn page came up third in line, after the site itself and another DU link. So it was a natural question.

He lives in Chicago and is PhD...
Certainly an improvement on the word salad that preceded it, but what remains is still a bit problematic.

(3,366 posts)There's a great article from The Atlantic A Clinton Scandal Primer ...
What? Since Bill Clinton left the White House in 2001, both Clintons have made millions of dollars for giving speeches.
How serious is it? At one time, this seemed like the most dangerous of the bunch, but it has since gone dormantwhich isnt to say that its dead. For the couple, who left the White House up to their ears in legal debt, lucrative speechesmostly by the former presidentproved to be an effective way of rebuilding wealth. They have also been an effective magnet for prying questions. Where did Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton speak? How did they decide how much to charge? What did they say? How did they decide which speeches would be given on behalf of the Clinton Foundation, with fees going to the charity, and which would be treated as personal income? Are there cases of conflicts of interest or quid pro quosfor example, speaking gigs for Bill Clinton on behalf of clients who had business before the State Department?
The Clinton Foundation
What? Bill Clintons foundation was actually established in 1997, but after leaving the White House it became his primary vehicle for well, everything. With projects ranging from public health to elephant-poaching protection and small-business assistance to child development, the foundation is a huge global player with several prominent offshoots. In 2013, following Hillary Clintons departure as secretary of State, it was renamed the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.
How serious is it? If the Clinton Foundations strength is President Clintons endless intellectual omnivorousness, its weakness is the distractibility and lack of interest in detail that sometimes come with it. On a philanthropic level, the foundation gets decent ratings from outside review groups, though critics charge that its too diffuse to do much good, that the money has not always achieved what it was intended to, and that in some cases the money doesnt seem to have achieved its intended purpose. The foundation made errors in its tax returns it has to correct. Overall, however, the essential questions about the Clinton Foundation come down to two, related issues. The first is the seemingly unavoidable conflicts of interest: How did the Clintons charitable work intersect with their for-profit speeches? How did their speeches intersect with Hillary Clintons work at the State Department? Were there quid-pro-quos involving U.S. policy? The second, connected question is about disclosure. When Clinton became secretary, she agreed that the foundation would make certain disclosures, which its now clear it didnt always do. And the looming questions about Clintons State Department emails make it harder to answer those questions.

(24,324 posts)I do not believe in my lifetime, we have had a president that was more prepared, not only by experience but by temperament, to step in to this incredible mix of promise and peril. Ever. I dont think its close, he told more than 500 people gathered at the Czech and Slovak Museum."
Well, thank you William. Now if by some mere chance of fate, or whatever else, Bernie DOES lose, I feel much better.
