Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reacts to an editorial from the New York Times urging Hillary Clinton to "[achieve] true distance" from the Clinton Foundation to avoid the appearance of pay-for-play with donors -- before taking office as president. Related news broke Tuesday that Clinton deleted at least thirty emails from her private server that related to the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi. Many on the right suggest there could be a connection between her hidden emails and the activities of the Clinton Foundation.



"It is a steady drip-drip-drip of these stories that call into question [Clinton's] honesty and reliability," Ignatius said on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' Wednesday. "I doubt myself that unless they are major revelations that either of these issues is going to move the needle enough with the groups that Trump needs to make a difference in this election. The people who are shocked by emails, for whom Benghazi is a trigger point -- those people are already Trump supporters."



"I don't know how many different ways this can come at the Clintons," host Mika Brzezinski said. "This is causing problems."



"On this Clinton Foundation point, the NYT is abslutely right [to call for the Foundation to be shut down immediately]. It is outrageous to have someone running for president of the U.S. to have her husband raising money from foreign governments, from wealthy foreign indivudals who want to influence the United States" he added. Middle Eastern heads of state have donated to the Clinton Foundation. "It is just wrong. Anybody can feel that. I don't understand for the life of me why she said if she won't do this as president -- [why not] just stop it now? Not because of politics, because it is the right thing to do."
