Simple conflicts of interest revealed in a one minute Google search:
A) Matt Lauer, Tom Brokaw, Anderson Cooper, Fareed Zakaria, Katie Couric - and many others - are all members of the press who are supposed to objectively vet candidates, and who will/have moderated political debates, were previously listed as a 'Notable Members' the Clinton Foundation. [1]
B) More than 1/2 of the private entities she met with while Sec of State donated to her Fund - total over $50M. Foreign governments with whom she dealt with directly gave her fund over $170M - this is just the first 1/2 of her term. That's a serious conflict of interest. "Her calendars and emails released as recently as this week describe scores of contacts she (Clinton, as Sec. State) and her top aides (again government officials) had with foundation donors." [2]
C) Clinton put someone on a government board (security related) - who had no experience in the field. [3]
It's a long list.

- jomamaxx 10y agoI would invite anyone who down-voted that comment to explain how receiving money (millions of USD) for a personal fund, while at the same time providing government services and favours for donors - as a civil servant - is not a very serious conflict of interest.
