I'm a liberal and I'll be voting for Clinton this month, as I believe there's no other choice for the country. But the Clinton Foundation is a big organization with a lot going on, and plenty of fertile ground for potential conflicts of interest. So is there evidence of any?
The biggest allegation (so far) related to the Clinton Foundation is that a Russian company was able to buy out one fifth of the United States' uranium production capacity thanks to a $145 million donation to the foundation. This has been debunked by Snopes and other fact checkers, mostly owing to a lack of evidence.
Last week, hacked emails showed that Chelsea Clinton was concerned about potential conflicts of interest at the foundation and ordered an audit of the foundation by an outside law firm. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/chelsea-clinton-foundation-conflicts-emails-229605
In those emails, Doug Band stated that he believes there are at least 500 instances of conflicts of interest he can think of: http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...aide-said-to-have-cited-conflicts-of-interest
Outside of those topics, is there solid evidence of conflicts of interest related to the foundation?
Edit: I started this thread without realizing there were two other topics on the subject open already.
Edit 2: This is a good read about Doug Band and his role at the foundation, which often had him playing fast and loose on the ethical side of things, but which notes that the foundation's interests never conflicted with HRC's position as SecState: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics...man-at-the-center-of-bill-clinton-inc/505661/
And this one talks about Band's conflicts with Chelsea, as she saw him as part of a culture of corruption that had formed at the foundation that she wanted to clean up: http://www.newyorker.com/news/benjamin-wallace-wells/the-trouble-with-doug-band
