then there is no way for you to be convinced.
More than half of the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was serving as secretary of state gave money to the Clinton Foundation, either personally or through or companies or groups, according to a review of State Department calendars released to the Associated Press.
At least 85 of the 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to the documents obtained by the AP.
The 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million combined, and at least 40 donated more than $100,000 each while 20 gave more than $1 million.

That is from an AP report, not some right wing blog. More than 50% of people who met with her thought so much of their charity work they wrote big fat checks. This is financial logrolling at its best, and more blatant than anything I've ever seen at this level.
Lobbyists and everyone else do this to buy access, and it's ruining our nation. While everyone does it, no one has taken it to the level of the Clintons. Senators end up with hundreds of thousands or a few million, the Clintons are raking in hundreds of millions in just a handful of years. Far more damaging is that they are taking it from ANYONE up to and including our national enemies, like Russian companies closely tied to Putin. No one has EVER done that before and politically lived to tell the tale.
This would put Senator Byrd and other experts at the practice to shame, and in this case unlike traditional access buying it's all run through a non-profit that doesn't even pay taxes. The only analogy is someone like Jessie Jackson who extorted millions into his non profit then used it to buy houses and airplanes, but his doesn't touch this level of corruption and didn't involve massive sums from anti-American foreign interests.
When more than 50% of your meetings involve donations you know damned well it's pay for play or whatever spiffy name we want to put on public corruption.
