State Department has no plans to review donations to the Clinton Foundation. Well this is certainly going to cause some conservatives to pull their hair out.

The State Department said Thursday it has no plans to review previously undisclosed donations to a branch of the Clinton Foundation that some say raise questions about potential conflicts of interest during former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's time in office. 

Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said the contributions in question, made to the Clinton Health Access Initiative by private donors, would not have been reviewed even if they had all been disclosed under the terms of ethics agreements Clinton signed before she took office. That's because only donations to the foundation from foreign governments or speaking fees for former President Bill Clinton were subject to vetting. 

The agreements did require that private donations be made public and the health initiative has acknowledged it did not do so in all cases. Rathke said the State Department welcomes the steps the foundation and its arms are now taking to address the issue and won't pursue the matter. 

"The State Department has not and does not intend to initiate a formal review, or to make a retroactive judgment about items that were not submitted during Secretary Clinton's tenure," Rathke told reporters, rejecting suggestions that the undisclosed donations might raise ethics red flags.

Oh man you KNOW that is going to drive conservatives around the freaking bend, and it will inspire Right Wing news outlets to assume all kinds of behind the scenes deal making between the Clintons and the Obama administration.

Not that it makes any difference how much door slamming and tantrum throwing they do, since it seems fairly certain that Hillary is going to be in charge of state department at some point in the near future.

This from Politico: 

On Nov. 8, 2016, Clinton will start — start — with a minimum 247 of the 270 electoral votes she needs to win. If you give her Colorado and Virginia — which many political strategists would, given the Hispanic population in one and the rising influence of the northern-centered population in the other — she'll start with 269. That means Clinton doesn't need Ohio or Florida. She just needs one small state like Iowa, Nevada or New Hampshire to put her over the edge. And because she's got a boatload of money and no viable primary challenger, she'll have plenty of time and resources to lock up at least one of those states.

Benghazi, e-mail-gate, Clinton attack books, none of it is going to amount to a hill of beans compared to the reality of what the Clintons have in their warchest.

And now that Jeb has openly identified his brother George W. as a close adviser on foreign policy, which I think takes him right out of the race, who do the Republicans actually have that can give Hillary a run for her money?

Anybody?
