involved in it)in a light that suggests that it was somehow a for profit scam by the Clintons, where every objective view of it indicates that it is a highly effective organization doing real good in the world. The calls to shut it down remind me of the Acorn debacle that also shut down a well functioning organization due to awful partisan politics.
