Hillary visited 112 countiesThe AP story
WASHINGTON (AP) More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money either personally or through companies or groups to the Clinton Foundation. It's an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.
At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.

The AP has done some major damage to their journalistiv chops in printing their confabulated critique about the Clinton Foundation and Hillary. Please don't keep giving the AP a pass by repeating their lies.

The idea you visited 112 countries and only talked to 154 people defies any sort of logic and borders on the impossible.

(3,811 posts)154 is only the private individuals she met with per her schedule. It doesn't count any of the officials, diplomats, NGO representatives, etc. that she met with. The full AP article said as much.
