RE: FBI actively investigating Clinton Foundation
This sentence in the article:
"The FBI and federal prosecutors are looking into whether donors to the foundation were improperly promised policy favors or special access to Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state in exchange for donations to the charity's coffers . . ."

. . . reminds of when someone drowns in a late-night boating accident on a holiday weekend, and the news reports modestly state: "Authorities suspect alcohol was involved."

Granted, I trust the Clintons to have carefully avoided or subsequently destroyed any tangible evidence of promised favors, but honestly: does anyone genuinely believe that the prospect of access and favors was not EXACTLY why many donors gave to the foundation, and one of the organizing principles of the foundation in the first place?
