A new batch of emails from Hillary Clinton's time at the State Department offered fresh evidence Wednesday of the pains Clinton's staff took to accommodate her husband's paid speeches and her family's foundation — just hours after Sen. Tim Kaine dismissed the possibility that the Clinton Foundation had wielded influence over his running mate.
Emails showed Clinton's aides teamed up with the foundation to perform donor maintenance, craft messaging on key policies and put together guest lists for both diplomatic and philanthropic events. State Department staffers were often asked to advise Clinton's husband on how to handle politically-fraught speaking engagements or foundation events, such as an effort to bring the new Libyan president to a Clinton Global Initiative meeting that was held less than two weeks after the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
The trove of roughly 200 pages of records made public Wednesday was just the latest and most convincing indication that, rather than operate as an independent organization, the Clinton Foundation leaned heavily on the State Department to expand its global reach.
But authorities are unlikely to take any action against Clinton or her staff, despite the fact that they violated a Memorandum of Understanding with the White House in which they had pledged to avoid the appearance of conflicts with the foundation.

Of course Kaine dismissed the possibility. He is a democrat. All democrats are liars. There isn't an honest decent democrat alive.

Anonymous 2:26, that's because they love money more than God.
In one of her speeches Hillary mentioned how inconvenient it was for people w "complicated lives" to work in Washington. How messy it is to have to divest stocks and sever ties to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Sounds more and more like the entire server set up was a way to avoid being "inconvenienced." And she said it in a speech to people who would be sympathetic about it. I wish more people would make this connection because it indicates to me how the elites think ethics don't apply to them.
