I just don’t get this. The Clinton Foundation does so much good in the world, including lowering the cost of HIV/AIDS treatment and delivering cheaper drugs to more than 9 million people. Neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton benefits financially from this foundation.

So, why all the outrage over conflicts of interest? What does Hillary Clinton have to gain by crossing a line here? It seems to me that many of the people giving large sums of money ($10,000 to $1 million) probably are people she is already acquainted with. People who would have access to her anyway.

We should be thankful to people such as the Clintons who use their influence for good in the world.
