Bill Clinton Is Totally Clueless About the Clinton Foundation

For someone who is the founder and board member of a global charity organization that bears his name, former President Bill Clinton appears utterly clueless whenever he is asked a question about the Clinton Foundation, which has been the subject of considerable controversy since his wife declared her candidacy for president.

Last month, while attending a lavish Clinton Foundation event hosted by the King of Morocco, the former president was asked why he wasn't defending the foundation more aggressively against allegation of favor-trading and general sketchiness. "I don't know," he replied. "I just work here."

This week, Clinton sat down for an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, who asked if Clinton thought foundation donors, a number of which had interests before the State Department while Hillary was secretary of state, were seeking favors in return for their donations. "I don't know," Clinton said. "You never know what peoples' motives are."
