This is what the Washington Post said about the Clintons-
"The lesson they learn is invariably the wrong one: We can get away with it. They rationalize that it’s just the vast right-wing conspiracy at work"
This is what the Washington Post said about the Clintons. They have always mostly supported Hillary and bashed Trump.
Trump is no better but if you want to create the argument that one has the high ground you are just plain wrong.

The point you seem to want so hard to miss, is that there, in fact, is higher ground in this. The Clinton Foundation (a nonprofit dispensing charity to millions--and here being the time-old giving the rich a photo op to aid the poor) versus the Trump Foundation (a profit, going into Trump's pockets, giving the rich photo ops to fleece them for Trump's private profit).
Life, in fact, is relative.
And what does the Washington Post say about all the good the Clinton Foundation does? Do they say the Trump Foundation(?) does anything?

More than half of The Clinton foundations donors received a review from the Clinton State Department for their requests. Not all were granted but a donation got you in the door at least 50 percent of the time. Want to argue with that?
Unfortunately, life for the lower 1% is not life unless one is whining.

Of course they did. You'd be naive to think otherwise. The entire world works this way. Now prove they received something beyond that directly for their donation.
Just 50%? That's about half the average for political figures. Give a million to your Congressman and see what happens.

Welcome to government. It responds to citizens. It responds to influential citizens more than others. Any functioning government official, Democrat or Republican, U.S. or Chinese, would/does give access to influential people even if they didn't donate to charity. This is government all over the world. It's how governments operate, regardless of party affiliation. It's reality and it's also realistic. You're just Swiftboating--and being really naive in the process.

Well, it is the right-wing conspiracy at work. The right wing does it too. The upshot, if Clinton gets into office, is that they'll pin this down better. I certainly hope the upshot isn't that the Clinton Foundation gets shut down because of right-wing Swiftboating.
Research homework for you--compare (it would be easier if Trump released his tax information, but it's not all that hard just by doing objective googling) the work of the Clinton Foundation and that of the Trump Foundation--or any other aspect of the Clintons and Trump that you'd like to do. Until you do, just shut up about comparable high grounding in charity work. You're disgusting.

Oh me Oh my. I am disgusting. It is common knowledge that that when you run out of logic just fall back on insults.
BTW I know my momma is so fat.
You insult yourself with your ignorance.

Correct, there is nothing to see. And here's Matt Yglesias of The Guardian explaining why:

You are right. It all gets messy. Clinton and Trump. I could post articles that defame them both. None of these candidates is clean. The real question is can I get over my partisanship and vote what I really feel.

The problem is you could post a lot of OPINION articles that defame them both, none of which carry a shred of fact or evidence. Show me some facts. Point out the smoking gun. Way to many people allow themselves to fall into the trap of believing an opinion is fact even though there is no supporting evidence. You pointed out earlier that 50% got access because of their contributions. Really? And you can prove that? Show me the hard facts and I will join the chorus calling for her head otherwise I'll have to call bullshit on your speculation.
