INVESTIGATION: "Clinton Foundation Not Suitable For Charity Organization"
That's what

But... but... Charity Navigator gave the Clinton Foundation its highest rating!
(After the Clintons bribed Charity Navigator to change it from the organization's lowest rating.)Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

So... some Republicans are convinced the Clinton Foundation is dodgy.
Snooze.
The Clinton Foundation is like catnip for Republican conspiracy theorists. Wake me when it's actually prosecuted for misdeeds, like, y'know, The Trump Foundation."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

The one that the press loved to coo about was the Clinton Global Initiative which was separated from the Clinton Foundation awhile back. And yet for some strange reason almost immediately after Hillary lost in 2016 they closed its doors and laid everyone off. Why would anyone do such a thing if it was such a great charity?

The obituaries missed how Bill Clinton’s most important post-presidential legacy lives on in spirit – and in practice.Contrary to the negative commentary, the January announcement about CGI wasn’t the product of a post-election capitulation. Last September, almost two months before Election Day, Bill Clinton publicly announced the end of CGI at the organization’s 12th annual conference in New York City. He had informed the CGI staff in August, as part of a broader reorganization of the Clinton Foundation that anticipated Hillary Clinton’s expected victory in November.Like so much publicity about CGI and the Clinton Foundation during the months leading up to the presidential election, however, those stories were heavy on hostile innuendo and light on basic facts. The obituaries obscured the bigger picture, showing how the ambitious enterprise had permanently changed the direction of philanthropy, both in the United States and abroad. They also missed the fact that CGI hadn’t really died."Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.

Btw, the author of your piece has a long sordid history of running interference for Democrats especially the Clintons. He carried the Clinton's water wrt Whitewater dutifully repeating their spin, and has acted as some sort of unofficial press secretary for the Global Initiative since its inception. He wrote The Hunting of the President: The 10 Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton which continued to push the silly "vast right wing conspiracy" myth of Hillary's (you know, all those stories about Bill being a serial philanderer were nothing but fabrications by a "vast right wing conspiracy") as well as The Hunting of Hillary where all evidence of corruption concerning her was hand waved away as nothing but lies by haters.
OTOH, his other specialty is writing political hit pieces targeting Republicans including publicizing rumors about George H.W. Bush was having an affair (ironic considering how much effort he put into quashing the stories about Bill Clinton's actual affairs), even after fellow journalist Jack Germond (who once said that George H.W. Bush was the most evil person he ever met) told him that there was no truth to the rumors.
Not exactly a trustworthy or unbiased source.
