The foreign government could always find a work around to funnel in money, but it is clear to me that the Clinton organization refusing to accept money from a foreign government, at the least during her tenure as SOS, would be reasonable. It's a red flag that she rejected the idea. Conflict of interest concerns are always red flags in all levels of government.

If there is a hint of any misdeeds, her enemies of the Right Wing Conspiracy (Hillary's words) will be all over it like flies on you know what.
Proper steps must be taken for some kind of bipartisan review to make sure nothing is tainted. Remember we are dealing with two of the greatest masters of deception.

Question #2-Isn't today Jan. 13, 2009? This leads me to question #3, why are comfirmation hearings on any of President-ELECT(emphasis on elect) Obama's choices for his cabinet going on now? A little quick on the draw there don't you think. Question #1-Doesn't Barack Obama get inaugrated on Jan. 20,

So the idiot Obamaniacs and the Clintonistas work out their own "deal" but it's not for the rest of us to know, but they are all "satisfied". Meanwhile, she will be representing us and we will not know what she tells her fat hubby during that pillow talk time (if there EVER is any!). This is un-fricking-believeable. What an arrogant b*itch! As always, the rules never apply to this despicable couple.

Why wouldn't Clinton agree to the MoU for the time she's in office if there would be no conflict of interest. She's talking about transparency, so this would be continuing transparency. Even though it's not required by law, this would show the american public she's willing to stand behind the "transparent manner" she so professes. Aslo, why doesn't Bill just disinfranchise himself from this organization during her tenure as Secretary of State. As usual, she's no more than just another politician who is only looking out for her own best interests and not that of the general public. I have to give the Senate Foreign Relations Ccommittee credit for trying to make sure our Secretary of State is transparent about all activities both she and Bill are involved in. + I guess I don't understand.
