Re: Aug. 24 editorial.
The big, bad Clintons are at it again. They created a foundation that has provided help to the poor around the world and solicited donations from wealthy donors, because, well, it is not called a tax that helps the poor. And gasp! People who donated money to the foundation allegedly expected “special access” to the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. But so far there has been no quid pro quo, especially no quid quo pro more than the standard operating procedure in the era of Citizens United, where tons of anonymous monies fund campaigns, grant access and write policies for our favorite senators and representatives.
This latest “scandal” is just another in a long line of conservative crying-wolf talking points to smear Hillary Clinton.

Reading all the news about the Clinton Foundation brings to mind a term I learned back in my boyhood home of Chicago. It is called “influence peddling.” Long a tradition on the shores of Lake Michigan, it has now worked its way up the political food chain to the federal level. No one should be surprised by any of this, especially coming from a party machine Democrat. Dis is da way tings get done round here. Ah, sweet home Chicago.
