We know Republicans are attacking Hillary Clinton over the Clinton Foundation.
No one is talking about the Donald Trump Foundation. Remember, that tax exempt foundation that paid out bribes and then said it was merely "clerical errors".
Trump Foundation Blames "Clerical Error" for Illegal Pam Bondi Contribution | RedState
Unfortunately, the Republicans have a history of involvement in "charity organizations".
Examples:
When Bob Dole was running for president, his wife, Elizabeth was head of the Red Cross. No one thought of looking into any connection between them and "Pay for Play". Did it exist? Who knows. Perhaps more research could turn up something.
Then there is the George Bush "Thousand Points of Light" foundation. Remember, George started it while he was president.
Thousand points of light - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The foundation was criticized in a 1995 investigation by The Los Angeles Times for spending only 11% of its budget on grants to volunteer organizations, while spending $22.3 million on "promotions, consultants, salaries, travel and conferences," including "$5.5 million to produce a television advertising campaign and $1.4 million for a celebration of community service." The Times also noted that the foundation received more than half its budget from federal funds.
Oh wait a second, let's go ahead and look at Elizabeth Dole as head of the Red Cross:
The Red Cross: A Question of Competence
When her husband was scrambling for the backing of the Christian Coalition prior to the Republican primaries, Mrs. Dole ordered her allies to rewrite an AIDS prevention manual to cater to Christian right orthodoxies about homosexuality, premarital sex and condom use. Also shoring up Bob Dole’s standing with the Christian right, Elizabeth Dole took to the hustings while in office at the Red Cross to give frequent speeches about her born-again Christian commitment.
Back at Red Cross headquarters in Washington, Mrs. Dole recommended at-large seats on the Red Cross’s prestigious board of governors to Senator Dole’s political contributors and longtime backers, including Inez Andreas, the wife of wealthy agribusiness executive and Dole superbooster Dwayne Andreas.
Mrs. Dole’s special team interfered in day-to-day Red Cross decisions, frustrating the charity’s professional staff and contributing to an exodus of many senior technicians, volunteers and other crucial personnel. Under this politicized leadership, the Red Cross’s much-touted “transformation” program to assure a safer blood supply has fallen short of its goals and behind schedule.
U.S. President Dole could be in a position to sign into law Republican legislation that would let Red Cross president Dole off the hook.

Now do Republicans have any evidence of Mrs. Clinton being involved in "Pay for Play". None. But here they are screaming, THERE MUST BE SOMETHING.
Something like Travelgate, White Water, Emails and now Clinton Foundation. Conspiracy theory's all. Republicans are famous for their conspiracy theories. Remember, gay marriage will lead to men marrying their pets? WMD's?
Sick of GOP conspiracy theories. And I'm sick of the double standard. Still, the uneducated GOP base keeps on voting them into office. And then complains about how bad the Democrats are at managing the country. Only, it's Republicans managing the country.
