According to CNN Legal View host Ashleigh Banfield, the Clinton Foundation's "good governance and accountability" practices are par excellence. In fact, one might as well rank the Clinton Foundation up there with Doctors Without Borders and the American Red Cross. 

Yes, the spin was simply that blatant during Banfield's Wednesday evening broadcast. 

Joined by guest Daniel Borochoff of the group CharityWatch, the two analyzed the Clinton Foundation, elevating the charity to "gold star" status. The Media Research Center notes that the pair went "full James Carville" during their segment, promoting the hysteria that, without the Clinton Foundation, "people are going to die."

"In the philanthropic world, the Clinton Foundation ranks about as high as can you get for a charity," Banfield said, opening the segment. 

"GuideStar gave it a platinum rating and CharityWatch gave it an A."  Borochoff heaped even more praise on the beleaguered foundation, calling it an "excellent charity":

"The Clinton Foundation is an excellent charity. They’re able to get 88 percent of their spending to bona fide program services and their fund-raising efficiency is really low, only costing them $2 to raise $100. They are out there with other charities such as Doctors Without Borders, Salvation Army, the American Red Cross."

The aforementioned CNN host made a weak case to show balance by reading from Wednesday’s editorial in USA Today urging the Clinton Foundation to wind down operations, but quickly teed up Borochoff to channel James Carville from Tuesday’s Morning Joe to warn that people will die if the Clinton Foundation shuts down. 

Banfield then lamented "the political casualties of what some have called a scorched earth campaign against the Clinton Foundation." Because after all, they're the ones who are supposedly "going to be hurt the most":

Borochoff obliged and predicted that people will die without money and medical care from the Clinton Foundation if people don’t “pull the election politics out of the equation here”: “Well, the people, will the millions of people that get reduced — cross — you know, medical, pills for like AIDS and there's all kind of programs they do that help millions of people and people are going to die unless people get the help.”

Apparently Banfield and Borochoff haven't chatted with any of the Haitians claiming to have been defrauded by the Clinton Foundation.
