Donald Trump is doing the rounds phoning foreign heads of state. He doesn't use the experts advice in the Departementet of States. Instead he shows his usual lack of knowledge about the world and admiration for dictators. Several career diplomats first through it was a parody when they saw the transcripts. So far his phone calls may have caused problems with only one country, but it was China....

I'd like to come back to the corruption accusations against the Clinton Foundation as there was a long article recently in my favorite new portal, Spiegel.
@N 24, can you give any details about the Norwegian contribution to the Clinton Foundation?
Which Norwegian organisation has contributed, since when and for which purpose? Do we have any information why the money has been cut?
I am just asking because recently there have been accusations against the german government having done contributed to the Clinton Foundation as well and a lot of research has gone into it.
The results are:
In general NGOs (non governmental organisations) are preferred against GOs because they are far more efficient and don't support governmental corruption in 3rd world countries. So the question why foreign NGOs are supported instead of the countries directly is replied.
German government says that the application process for the recent donation has started in 2013 and has started in 2014 and it project-related and not a general contribution. And they say that many national governments are acting like that with fixed milestones and checks if the projects are going into the right direction.
Due to their nature these projects are time-limited. Once the project has ended, the contributions stop.
So, the contributions from Norway to the Clinton Trust may be explained easy without "bad smell" - this is just another example how real life is much more complex than bold oneliners may imply.
And it still stands:
The Clinton Foundation is one of the largest and most effective chariable organisations and has done a LOT for the good of people in the country and in other countries.
The Clinton Foundation may have made mistakes in the past, but there is no evidence for corruption and the Clinton Foundation is far more open and transparent than most of the other Foundations and Trusts.
If anybody is interested in the mentioned article, it's here.

"Bill Clinton was serving as the U.N. special envoy for Haiti, and after the quake he helped lead the Clinton-BushHaiti Fund and a key Haitian reconstruction commission, in addition to helping oversee the relief work of the Clinton Foundation there."
A charitable project in one of the poorest and most catastrophe affected * countries "at best, had mixed results".
What exactly have the Clintons done wrong?
Where is the corruption and where is the evidence?
And much more importantly - what will Trump or your libertarian hero ( who believes in capitalism and market only) do better for Haiti?
Involved now.

I was just hoping that our new friend was giving the FBI a good laugh and report Chris with them for calling him a troll in a public forum
