DOES SHE EVER LEARN? – AT 9:50 A.M. ET:   Or maybe it's Bill who, as usual, can't control himself.  The Clintons, through their foundation, are continuing to take foreign money.  From the Washington Examiner: 

A number of foreign donors pledged new support for Clinton Foundation efforts during a conference in Marrakech last week, raising questions about the strength of Hillary Clinton's campaign promise to cut off foreign donations to her family philanthropy while she runs for president.

The Kingdom of Morocco was among the foreign entities that committed to new projects at the Clinton Global Initiative event, which drew dozens of big-ticket donors to the country for a three-day meeting headlined by Bill Clinton. Hillary was slated to attend the Marrakech conference before her name was quietly removed from the schedule earlier this year amid criticism of the foundation's foreign activities.

The Clinton Global Initiative is an arm of the Clinton Foundation that acts a broker between donors and entities that are interested in completing charitable projects. Under the memorandum of understanding that guided the foundation's activities while Hillary Clinton was in office, the Clinton Global Initiative was not allowed to hold major events overseas.

In all, 34 U.S.-based and foreign entities offered their support to Clinton Global Initiative projects at the Marrakech summit.

COMMENT:  I have no doubt that these "foreign entities" will be well rewarded for their contributions.

It is simply incredible that the Clintons don't understand the importance of appearances.  Or maybe they just don't care, and feel they can get away with it, with the help of a sympathetic press.
