Only yesterday, Hillary came out swinging against “unaccountable money” in politics. She even said she’d support a constitutional amendment to get the job done!
Fortunately for her, she’s willing to make some exceptions:
Clinton Foundation decides to continue accepting donations from foreign governments http://t.co/UkLjlrdPsL

More from the Wall Street Journal:
The board of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation has decided to continue accepting donations from foreign governments, primarily from six countries, even though Hillary Clinton is running for president, a summary of the new policy to be released Thursday shows.
The rules would permit donations from Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the U.K.—countries that support or have supported Clinton Foundation programs on health, poverty and climate change, according to the summary.
That means other nations would be prohibited from making large donations to the foundation. But those governments would be allowed to participate in the Clinton Global Initiative, a subsidiary of the foundation where companies, nonprofit groups and government officials work on solutions to global problems. [emphasis ours.]
How do you like that?
Nope, no ethical or legal questions raised here! https://t.co/RPPk9i4XQs

I'm sure the donations are pure altruism. They can't find the phone number for Red Cross. https://t.co/PbSloyD8ma

@WSJbreakingnews @JadedByPolitics Did you really expect something different.

Well, no. But you’d think she’d at least be smart enough not to try to paint herself as a crusader for financial transparency.
Or then again, maybe, just maybe, she honestly doesn’t give a crap.
FYI this is the Clinton's daring the country to stop them because they know the media won't. No different than Obama.

In any case, it’s gross.
@SethAMandel I'm sure foreign donations will be covered in the new constitutional amendment.

Citizens United is a mortal threat to the Republic. Foreign government donations to my husband's foundation is cool. https://t.co/0YMuieZdFg
