If she could do this at a lower level position, what will she be capable of if she became president? And Bill Clinton just admitted a few days ago to giving favors to some who donated to the Clinton foundation. :rolleyes:

Hillary Clinton Rewarded 194 Donors With Seats on State Dept. Advisory Boards

The Washington Examiner reports that 194 of Hillary Clinton’s donors were named to advisory boards while she was Secretary of State between 2009 and 2012.

These were all people who donated to “either to her family’s foundation, her political campaigns, or both, or were affiliated with groups that had,” according to the Examiner’s review of federal records. Fully 40 percent of the State Department advisory appointments during Clinton’s time as Secretary of State went to her donors.

The Examiner is careful to note such appointments are not illegal or unprecedented, as “presidents and cabinet secretaries from both parties have long rewarded friends and contributors with high-level appointments,” but suggests this news will not mix well with questions swirling around “pay for play” access given to Clinton Foundation donors by the former Secretary of State.

It is also pointed out that some of these advisory appointees had little or no apparent qualification for their advisory board appointments, such as $100,000 Clinton donation bundler and longtime friend Kaki Hockersmith, who ended up on the United States National Commission on UNESCO. UNESCO is a global humanitarian organization; Hockersmith is an interior designer by trade.

Another UNESCO board appointment went to Betsy Cohn, who was one of the Clinton donors rewarded with a stay in the Lincoln Bedroom during an especially tawdry chapter of Bill Clinton’s presidency. A third spot went to Sara Ehrman, who is currently associated with the Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace, which is presided over by a $10 million Clinton Foundation donor.
